What problems did they meet?
Look and say
The boy broke the window with a soccer ball.
The boy was worried about breaking the vase.
The boy took something without permission.
How should they deal with these problems? Can you give some advice?
Think and say
When you break something, you should be brave enough to admit your mistake, and offer to help fix or pay for it.
If you take something without permission, return it as soon as possible and sincerely apologize to the owner.
In our daily life, we should be honest when making mistakes, take responsibility for our actions, and be willing to correct mistakes.
