I'm Tony. I am in trouble. Last week, we had a football match, and we lost. We played well, but one teammate didn't do his best, I think. It was like he wasn't even on the court! I was so disappointed（失望的）that I said all this to my best friend. But he told everyone else what I'd said. I'm really angry with my friend—what should I say to him? And should I say anything at all to my teammate? |
Reply from Betty There is an old American saying, "Loose lips sink ships. " This means that if you speak too much about something, especially to people who you don't know so well, it'll cause all kinds of trouble. Maybe now you're like this. Forget all these unhappy things. Like 13 |
Reply from Ling ling Perhaps most importantly, think about what you did. When filled with anger, you would say whatever comes to your mind. You might hurt others. Take a deep breath, be quiet and relaxed, and always remember: think first, speak later. Like 11 |
Reply from Ms. Li Here's what you need to do. First, apologize to your teammate. Have a conversation with him, and tell him directly and honestly that you were talking without thinking. Then tell your friend you're angry for his repeating what you said and making things worse, but you hope your friendship will move on. Like 10 |
