Knowing How and When to Say Sorry Can Build Better Friendship
Have you ever argued with a friend and said or done something you regretted? Sometimes it can be hard to put things right, especially when feelings have been hurt. Knowing how to apologize① can help you become friends again and to understand why you fell out in the first place.
Why do we argue?
We argue for all kinds of reasons. For example, you might think your football team is fantastic②, but your friend disagrees, or you donʼt want someone to join in your game. Sometimes, especially if you are angry, things can become out of control③, and youʼll say or do something you regret. Arguing and disagreeing with others occasionally is normal. But itʼs important to resolve your differences afterwards so bad feelings donʼt get worse. This is where an apology can help.
What does saying sorry mean?
We all make mistakes④, and apologizing is a way of admitting weʼve got something wrong and will try not to do it again. It may be hard to say sorry, but if you want to make something better you must try. An apology needs to show the other person that you are genuinely sorry, you accept responsibility⑤ for your actions, and that you want their forgiveness.
What if itʼs not my fault?
Sometimes another person may pressure you into taking the blame when it has nothing to do with you. If you feel this is happening, try talking about why you argued in the first place and explain how it made you feel. If you still canʼt agree, you could ask a parent or teacher to help you resolve the problem.
Does apologizing always work?
A genuine apology is a magic word. It may take time for someone to understand and forgive. Even after youʼve said sorry, you could still feel bad. But you can feel good about trying to fix things and promising yourself to do better next time.
[词海拾贝]
①apologize v. 道歉
②fantastic adj. 极好的,非常棒的
③out of control 失去控制
④make mistakes 犯错误
⑤responsibility n. 责任,负责
[阅读问答]
阅读文本,回答以下问题
1.Why might arguments become something you regret?

2.What does saying “sorry” imply a person is willing to do?
Try not to make the same mistake again.

读后续写之良好的人际关系
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
That day, the weather was very hot, and I was very nervous, unable to keep still and think calmly. My friend John and I were discussing a problem. Everything was going well. However, in the middle of our discussion happened an unexpected incident — he made ink from his pen on my new notebook by accident. I was very angry and I said to him, “Why did you do that?” As I spoke, I deliberately spilled the ink from my pen onto his book. “You, you did it on purpose,” he said loudly. At that moment, he was very angry. His face was red with anger, his eyebrows were almost raised, his forehead was wrinkled (皱起) more and more tight, and his mouth was wide open. Suddenly, he pushed my things on the table to the floor. When I saw him do this, I was so annoyed with him that I pushed his to the floor, and angrily said to him, “We are no longer friends!” “Well, itʼs you who break off the friendship!” The friend shouted like a lion. I immediately took my things and left.
From that day on, every time I met him, I would take another way to avoid him. Though he seemed to want to say something, I didnʼt wait for him to say anything, and ran away like an arrow.
Since that incident, I had been reflecting (反思) on myself, feeling that I had done something wrong, but I didnʼt have enough courage to apologize to him. I knew that he didnʼt mean to make ink from his pen on the book that time, but I exactly did. I shouldnʼt have made his book wet in ink by design. I hated myself all the time. I was angry with myself.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
One day, I suddenly heard that John was going to study in another school.______________

[读后续写四步曲]
第一步 通读全文,理清脉络
1.读要素,弄懂故事大意
本文大意:主要讲述了作者和朋友John之间因误会而破裂的友谊,以及作者通过向John道歉和寻求原谅来修复他们的关系。最终,他们意识到宽恕和理解的重要性,并重新建立了更加牢固的友谊。作者反思了自己的行为并学会了面对错误并且承担责任的重要性。
2.读人物,理清人物关系
My friend John and I
3.读时态,确定主体时态
一般过去时
学生用书第30页
4.读结构,了解叙述方式
第1段:描述了作者和朋友John在讨论问题时发生的一场争执。由于一个意外事件——墨水弄脏了笔记本,引发了一系列的愤怒和报复行为,最终导致两人断绝了友谊。
第2段:描述了从此之后作者主动躲避John。
第3段:描述了作者在与朋友发生争执后的心理变化。他意识到自己的错误,并感到内疚和自责。尽管他想和对方和解,但又缺乏勇气去道歉。
续写部分:第一段主要描写得知John转学消息后的反应,以及描述作者道歉并得到原谅的过程;第二段描述作者得到原谅后的内心感受和感悟。
由此可见,材料是按照人物的思想感情变化来划分的。我们在构思续写时应从这个叙述方式去进行拓展。
5.读语言,把握语言特色
原文中的语言特色:
(1)直接引语的使用
I was very angry and I said to him, “Why did you do that?” As I spoke, I deliberately spilled the ink from my pen onto his book. “You, you did it on purpose,” he said loudly.
(2)运用修辞手法
The friend shouted like a lion.
Though he seemed to want to say something, I didnʼt wait for him to say anything, and ran away like an arrow.
His face was red with anger, his eyebrows were almost raised, his forehead was wrinkled (皱起) more and more tight, and his mouth was wide open.
第二步 依据首句,构思框架
1.读懂两段首句
第一段首句译文:有一天,我突然听说约翰要转到另一所学校去学习。
第二段首句译文:我非常高兴,喜悦的泪水涌上了我的眼眶。
第一段框架:我向朋友约翰道歉并得到了他的原谅。
第二段框架:我得到原谅后的内心感受和感悟。
2.写好两个衔接句
第一段首句后的衔接句:I felt a mix of emotions.
第二段首句后的衔接句:His words washed over me like a wave of relief.
3.写好一个升华句
第二段的尾句,即文尾句。能体现故事圆满结局的句子或故事给我们的启示的句子:
Our shared experience taught us the value of forgiveness and understanding.
第三步 增加细节,展开续写
基于第一段的框架,我们可以补充以下细节:
听说约翰转学消息后的心理描写(感到了一种复杂的情绪)→描述性语言(决定向约翰道歉,寻求原谅)→道歉时的语言描写(向约翰道歉)→约翰的语言描写(对道歉表示感谢,并表示原谅)
基于第二段的框架,我们可以补充以下细节:
我得到原谅后的情感描写(我非常高兴,喜悦的泪水涌上了我的眼眶)和心理描写(他的话使我意识到,一直抓住内疚和愤怒只阻碍了我的成长)→描述性语言(放下过去,重建友谊,从此,约翰和我变得比以往任何时候都要亲近)→我的感悟(我们共同的经历教会了我们宽恕和理解的价值)
第四步 检查优化,整洁誊写
One day, I suddenly heard that John was going to study in another school. I felt a mix of emotions. But after considering, I thought I needed to apologize for my actions and seek for his forgiveness. One day I got up the courage to walk up to him, saying “John, I want to apologize for what I did. I was wrong, and Iʼm truly sorry”. “I appreciate your apology,” he said calmly. “But you should know that I had already forgiven you a long time ago. We were both young and made mistakes.”
I was so happy that tears of joy welled up in my eyes. His words washed over me like a wave of relief. I realized that holding onto guilt and anger had only hindered my own growth. It was time to let go of the past and rebuild our friendship. From that day forward, John and I became closer than ever before. Our shared experience taught us the value of forgiveness and understanding.

Dear Talking Teens,
I have a daughter who has just started senior high school. She wants to choose her own courses and decide everything by herself. In the past, she would always ask me for advice. But now she talks to her friends instead. Why doesnʼt she want my advice any more?
Best regards,
Confused Mum
亲爱的Talking Teens:
我有一个女儿,她刚开始上高中。她想自己选择课程,并自己做所有决定。过去,她总是会向我征求意见。但现在,她反而去和她的朋友们商量。她为什么不再想要我的建议了呢?
最好的祝福,
困惑的母亲
Dear Talking Teens,

Dear Talking Teens,
My son will be 15 years old next week. I want to give him something special, but I have no idea what to buy. It used to be easy to know what he liked. Now it seems like we donʼt have the same taste any more. Please help!
Sincerely,

Dear Talking Teens,
My daughter wants to study abroad, but I think she is too young. She is only 14.Besides, it would cost a lot of money to send her to a school in another country. I think she should finish senior high school first, and then maybe study abroad when she is in university. What do you think?
Best wishes,
Mum in Yunnan
亲爱的Talking Teens:
我的女儿想要出国留学,但我认为她太年轻了。她只有14岁。此外,送她去另一个国家的学校会花费很多钱。我认为她应该先完成高中学业,然后在大学时或许可以考虑出国留学。您认为呢?
最好的祝愿,
在云南的母亲
