1. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
It is better to make mistakes when learning a new skill, so you can learn from the errors.
Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
The smallest computer, smartphone, electric bicycle or driverless cars were created far from the first time. It means that creators, developers or innovators made mistakes, learned from them, did not give up and tried again.
I definitely agree with the statement above and would like to point out a few reasons for supporting my thoughts.
First of all, gaining new skills simultaneously brings some novel ideas, impressions, experience, and new contacts. Rarely people can immerse into new field or industry without any problems and mistakes during the first stage. For example, speaking about a career in the marketing sphere, there are various benches, approaches, and trends. Working as a marketing manager mostly with social media marketing, I got a promotion and became marketing director at my current work. Frankly, it took me a tone of time to learn new skills, figure out new approaches by methods “try and fail” and to gain confidence. After a year of tough work, I realized how was important to learn from the own errors.
Secondly, it is interesting that sometimes learning a new skill by oneself and making mistakes can completely change people's lives and bring one to the world recognition. For instance, the famous inventor and entrepreneur Elon Musk taught himself computer programming. He made a lot of mistakes, fails and attempts which led him to a successful entrepreneurial career. His ambitious targets and world-known invents took a lot of effort and errors. Unlikely all these goals could be achieved without self-learning.
In my opinion, it doesn't matter where people obtain new skills - sport, science, business career. Importantly is that people can accept their setbacks and keep moving.
To sum up, when people make mistakes and learn from them it is the most effective way to become more confident, professional, stronger or undefeated.

The smallest computer, smartphone, electric bicycle or driverless cars were created far from the first time This is a tough one. I think you need to say something like "were not created in a single day" or "went through a lot of development" if you want to sound a little hip and modern you could say "were not perfected on day one." It means that creators, developers or innovators made mistakes, learned from them, did not give up and tried again.
I definitely agree with the statement above and would like to point out a few reasons for supporting my thoughts.
First of all (it is more correct to say "Firstly", but even Americans get this wrong), gaining new skills simultaneously brings some novel ideas, impressions, experience, and new contacts. Rarely people can immerse themselves in a new field or industry without any problems and mistakes during the first stage. For example, speaking about a career in the marketing sphere, there are various benches I am not sure what you are trying to say... benchmarks?, approaches, and trends. Working as a marketing manager mostly with social media marketing, I got a promotion and became marketing director at my current job. Frankly, it took me a great deal (formal) or a lot (informal) of time (a TON of time is too informal for this kind of writing. It is more for your friends in an informal conversation) to learn new skills, figure out new approaches by trial and error (this is a very common idiom) and to gain confidence. After a year of tough work, I realized how was important to learn from my own errors.
Secondly, it is interesting that sometimes learning a new skill by oneself and making mistakes can completely change people's lives and bring one to world-wide fame. For instance, the famous inventor and entrepreneur Elon Musk taught himself computer programming. He made a lot of mistakes, fails and attempts which led him to a successful entrepreneurial career. His ambitious goals and world renowned (or just say "famous") inventions took a lot of effort and many errors*. It is unlikely that all these goals could be achieved without self-learning.
In my opinion, it doesn't matter where people obtain new skills - in sport, science, or in a business career. The most important thing is that people can accept their setbacks and keep moving.
To summarize, when people make mistakes and learn from them it is the most effective way to become more confident, professional, stronger or undefeated.
*took a lot of effort and many errors. This one is tricky because effort is counted in quantity (a lot, a little), but errors can be counted with numbers (I made three errors on my math test). It is true that you can say "I made a lot of errors" but when you put effort and errors together, it sounds better to separate them with "a lot" and "many"
