As a child，I got angry quite easily and was not good at communicating with others．

I still remember it was an early autumn．Some （1） 　　 started to turn yellow and the weather became cool．One day，as I was getting ready for school，my mother carelessly handed me my father's vest（背心）instead of （2） 　　．At that time，I was getting to have a （3） 　　 size than my father，so when I put on the vest，I felt as if I wasn't able to breathe! I realized that it was a small mistake which was（4） 　　 by my mother，but somehow the breathless feeling was so strong that it made me very angry．My mother said sorry with a smile，but I shouted at her （5） 　　 thinking much． I got it off my body so wildly that I made a hole in it．I put on my own vest and rushed out of the house （6） 　　 my mother could stop me．

Later，my mother shared her bad feelings with my father，"See what your son has done．"Instead of saying he would scold （责备）or beat me，my father （7） 　　 asked my mother to mend the vest． Later when my mother told me about my father's response（反应），I felt terribly sorry for my bad behavior（行为）．My father's gentle kindness taught me a lesson which I would （8） 　　forget．

On that day，I decided not to let anger （9） 　　 me any longer． Of course，there are times when I am angry． However，whenever that happens，I will try to remember my father's （10） 　　．It always reminds（提醒）me to think about others' feelings when I get angry．
