A few days ago, I ran into a man as he passed by. I said sorry to man and he said "Excuse me", too. We were both very polite. We didn't go on our way we said goodbye.
Later as I was cooking the meal in the kitchen, my daughter Betty walked up to me. When I turned around, I almost knocked her down. "Get out of the way!" I shouted (angry). She ran away, crying. That night, while I (lie) in bed, my husband said to me, "You were so rude to Betty. Go and look around on the kitchen floor. The flowers (buy) by Betty for you."
While meeting with (stranger), I was polite to them; but with my kids, I was always not patient. I began to feel sorry.
So I went to Betty's room. She was ready (sleep). "My dear," I said, "Are these flowers you picked for me?" She smiled, "Yes, I knew you'd like them." I said, "I am so sorry." And she whispered(悄声说)," Mom, that's okay. I still love you anyway." I kissed (she) and said, "I love you too and I do love the flowers."
That day, Betty gave me a lesson on how to get along each other in the family. I spent much time on work before and didn't realize how important family life was. I decided to do (good) than before.
