1．I got angry quite easily and was not good at communicating with others.Slowly，most of the people around me tried to keep away from me.
One day，as I was getting ready for school，my busy mother handed me a vest（背心）.When I saw it，I knew that was my father's—I was taller and stronger than my father.So as I put on the vest，I felt as if I wasn't able to breathe!The feeling of anger was rising in my heart.My mother said sorry with a smile，but I was so angry that I let out a shout.Soon，I pulled the vest off my chest（胸口）—so wildly that I made a hole in it.Then I put on my own vest and rushed out before she could stop me.
Later，my mother shared these with my father.Instead of saying he would scold（訓(xùn)斥） me，my father just asked my mother to mend（縫補(bǔ)） the vest.Then he wore it to work as usual.
When my mother told me about my father's action，I sat alone and thought a lot .Just imagining that he was wearing that broken vest in his office the whole day made me feel so terrible.But I had to say，my father did set a great example for me.That night I thought a lot.I promised myself that I would never let anger control my mind any longer.
Of course，there are times when I get angry.However，whenever that happens，I will try to remember my father's vest.
