The other day, Li Hua turned his back to me when I wanted to greet him, which made me angry. I dashed into the classroom and made a statement that I would treat him in the same way. But soon I got to know that I had misunderstood him.
With the midterm exam approaching, Li Hua worked even harder so as not to lose face before the whole class. He was always curious about the unknown world. It was likely that he ignored me because he was lost in thought. I thought he would burst into anger at my words, but on the contrary, he didn't defend himself against my statement.
In general, it was my fault to misunderstand him. I apologized to him and then we both felt at ease. Now we are studying in association with each other and often exchange approaches to learning English. We are likely to pass the exam with ease.
前几天,当我想要跟李华打招呼时,他却转过身背对着我,让我很生气。我猛冲进教室,发表了一个声明,我要以同样的方式对待他。但是很快我就知道我误解了他。
随着期中考试的临近,为了不在全班同学面前丢脸,李华学习更加努力了。他总是对未知的领域感到好奇。很可能是因为他陷入了沉思,他才忽视了我的。我以为听到我的声明他会发火的,可是恰恰相反,他并没有为自己辩护。
总的来说,误解他是我的过错。我向他道了歉,我们都感到心情放松了。现在,我们彼此之间正合作学习,经常交流学习英语的方法。我们会轻松地通过这次考试。
