Answer 1

I remember the time when my sister and I had a big fight over who would use the computer first. We used to have only one computer at home, and we both wanted to use it at the same time. I was so angry that I shouted at her and called her selfish. She shouted back at me and called me mean. We both walked away from each other, and the rest of the day was spent in silence.

The next day, I decided to talk to her and resolve the conflict. I said sorry for shouting at her and calling her selfish. She said sorry for shouting back and calling me mean. We both agreed that we should not have shouted at each other and that we should have talked calmly.

We then decided to make a schedule for using the computer. We agreed that we would use the computer for one hour each, and we would take turns deciding what to do during that hour. We also agreed that we would not shout at each other if we disagreed on what to do.

We made the schedule, and it worked perfectly. We both got to use the computer, and we both got to do what we wanted during our hour. We also talked to each other calmly and respectfully if we disagreed on what to do.

In the end, we both learned an important lesson about communication and compromise. We learned that shouting and name-calling only make things worse, and that talking calmly and respectfully can help resolve conflicts. We also learned that compromise is important in any relationship, and that it can help us both get what we want.
