I am a person who can get angry easily. But since I read an article from my English teacher, Things　 l　 a lot.

I am　 2　 at a boarding(寄宿的) school , so I　 3　 learn not only how to

study well, but also how to　 4　 with others. Some of us are　 5　 while others are quiet.It is common that people have problems and argument. So　 6　 can we be tolerant(容忍)?

Smiling at　 7　 is the easiest way. Another way is to think　 8　 your ideas are reasonable(有道理的) and right　 9　 having an argument . If others' ideas are really not good, keep an open 10　 . Try to forgive them. Having a friend is　 11　　 better than having an enemy after all l

Also , don't point out others'　 12 in public . This will mean people lose face and get　 13　 . If you really want to help, send a letter instead. On the other hand, if someone points out your disadvantages, don't be　 14　 . Just think this is a person who really wants to　 15　 you and become friends. Remember : Tolerance makes life easier.
