My naughty but sweet sister
It was my sister’s birthday yesterday. My parents took us to Sparky Amusement Park.
When we arrived at the park, Emma and I wanted to do different things. She wanted to see the animals, but I wanted to go on the rides. We argued with each other about what to do first. In the end, Mum asked me to let Emma choose because it was her birthday.
After lunch, we played games at the game booths. This time we chose the same game—Tin Can Toss. I did well, but Emma did it really badly. She only hit two cans and I laughed at her. Mum saw that and asked me to say sorry to Emma. She said it was bad to laugh at other people.

Saturday, 13 October
Last Sunday, Auntie Jane took me and Tommy to a holiday camp on Lantau Island.
When we arrived at the camp, Tommy and I wanted to do different things. We argued with each other. Then we did rock-paper-scissors to decide what to do first. Tommy won, but he cheated. I was angry and I shouted at him. He felt upset and ran away. Auntie Jane and I looked for him everywhere, but we couldn’t find him. I was really scared. Then we saw him sitting alone on a bench. I was so happy! In the end, I said sorry to him and we hugged each other.
I felt sorry for what I did. I love Tommy. I shouldn’t shout at him any more.
