Read the story and answer the questions.
There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.
The first day, the boy hammered so many nails into the fence that his father had to give him a whole new bag. Over the next few weeks, as he learnt to control his anger, he hammered fewer and fewer nails into the fence each day. He had learnt that it was easier to hold his temper than to hammer nails into the fence. Finally, the day came when the boy didn’t lose his temper all day, not even once. He told his father, who said that now the boy should pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.
The day passed by and the boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son and led him to the fence. He said, “You’ve done well, son, but look at all the holes in the fence! That fence will never be the same. When you say something in anger, it leaves a hole in someone’s heart, just like your nails have left holes in the fence. It doesn’t matter how many times you say sorry. The hole is still there.”

Work in pairs. Make improvements to each other’s reflections and share them with the class.
Sample:
Once there was a boy with a bad temper. His dad told him to hammer a nail into the fence every time he lost his temper. The boy learnt to control his temper because it was easier than hammering the nails into the fence. Then his dad asked him to pull one nail out every time he was able to hold his temper. When the boy pulled out all the nails, his dad showed him the holes in the fence, telling his anger had left “scars” that would never heal, like the holes in the fence.
According to the story, it is important to learn how to control your temper so that you do not do or say anything that will hurt other people. So how can we control our temper First, we can talk to someone we trust about how we feel. This is a good way of letting our anger out without hurting others. Second, we can go outdoors and play team sports with our friends, because physical exercise provides an effective way to calm down. Third, we can shift our attention to other things such as reading a book or watching a film. Focusing on something else helps us to forget our anger.
If we keep calm and stay optimistic, we can take control over our temper, which will benefit us throughout life.

The quote: “Your future depends on many things but mostly on you.”
I can't agree more with this view. It's true that our future is determined by many things, such as opportunities and help from others, but our own attitude, determination and diligence play a more important role. In other words, we are the master of our own future.
Take Abraham Lincoln for example, he was born in a poor family and received a limited education in his childhood, yet through his effort, he changed not only his own fate, but also the history of America. Therefore, I firmly believe that our future depends on mostly ourselves.
