My hometown is a small village. Small as it is, but it’s very beautiful.
There are a number of hill around my hometown and they are very beautiful. In spring, we fly kites are made by themselves on the top of the hills. The kites fly very highly. In summer, the trees and grass are green and the flowers are bright on the hills. Beside, the wild apples are nice to eating. In autumn, corns at the foot of the hills were ripe. In winter, when it snows, something is covered with snow. We play with snow and make snowmen.
In my hometown there are blue sky, fresh air, sweet water and kind people. I love my hometown!
Question: Why is it so hard for some people to apologize after they’ve done something wrong? I have made every effort to persuade my uncle to be nice to people that he knows he’s hurt. 71 How I wish things would be better if he’d just say he’s sorry and ask them to forgive him.
Answer: 72 It’s just easier for him to pretend nothing happened than to face the embarrassment of admitting he was wrong. You’ve probably done the same thing yourself at some time. In fact, most of us have. Furthermore, what if others won’t forgive him even if he apologizes?
73 Pride blinds us to our mistakes or faults. Or at least it makes us pay less attention to their seriousness.
Pride also makes us unwilling to admit to others that we were wrong. Perhaps we’re afraid they will look down on us if we admit it. 74
But others see through our pride. And things would be far better if we admitted our faults and asked for forgiveness. 75
Now you know why your uncle refuses to apologize, talk to him again. Help him to learn how to apologize and ask for forgiveness from others.
A. But a deeper reason is pride.
B. But he just refuses to do that.
C. We may even hope that somehow they will overlook it.
D. As a result, you would offend others and hurt their feelings.
E. There are a variety of reasons for your uncle’s refusal to apologize.
F. Otherwise our pride would only hurt us and cause conflict with others.
G. One reason your uncle finds it hard to apologize could be embarrassment.
