Error recovery control is like fixing a mistake you made while coloring. For example, if you accidentally colored outside the lines of your coloring book, you would want to fix that mistake.
Similarly, when we work with technology or computer programs, errors can happen which may cause the program to stop working. In such situations, error recovery control helps to fix the mistake so the program can work properly again.
Think of it like an assistant in your class who helps you if you make a mistake while writing. Error recovery control is like that assistant who helps the program to fix the mistake and continue to work like it should.
