Jimmy’s story is just like a chicken soup for my soul(心灵的鸡汤).I am inspired and I have the courage to confess(承认) the mistakes I have made.I want to say:I’m really very sorry for what I have done,please forgive me.Story 130 years ago,I studied in a primary school in the countryside.My deskmate(同桌) bought a pen which was “expensive” for most of the students at that time.How I dreamed of having one!He often took out the pen and showed it off(炫耀).I hated it when he did it,so one day I threw the pen into a well(井) on purpose.As a result,the boy was beaten(打) for his “losing” the pen by his parents and he was in low spirites(情绪低落) for his offence(过错). No one knew it was my “masterpiece”(杰作).How do you know I feel at that time?I was in high spirits and excited! I was not aware of (意识到)my fault at all then!!Story 2It happened when I was at the age of 12.Most families were in poor conditions at that time. My parents gave me only a little when I asked for money. So one day I “took” a five yuan note from the pocket of my father’s clothes which hanged on the wall to meet my need. Another “losing” occured.My father asked me whether I had taken the money, but I denied.I was such an honest boy appeared to be (看起来)that he believed me.As a result ,my little brother was beaten for his “theft”(偷窃).Five Yuan was a big sum of money,my father only earned 34 Yuan a month to support a whole family(养家糊口)!Story 3Mrs Lu was once my maths teacher when I was in Grade Three.We didn’t like her because she was very strict with us and always assigned(布置) a lot of homework.I decided to play a trick on her.One day after school, I inserted (插) a match stick(火柴梗)into the hole of her lock.It took her a long time to open the door! I just pretended to(假装) know nothing about it! Looking back on the silly things done by a nuaghty(顽皮的) boy,I really want to say sorry to my deskmate、my poor little brother、my teacher.Please forgive me!Do you have any stories? Do you have anything to confess(坦白、承认)? Be brave! Now, tell your stories for your sake! Never too late to learn! It’s never too late to mend! Having a sense of shame is a form of bravery! Take action from now on!Homework :Write to a letter to the person who was hurt by you in the past.(120words) Enjoy the song to release yourself! SHAPE OF MY HEART - bsb
