PART B_2

How are you today, Emma?

I am feeling a whole lot better now compared to the past few weeks.

That’s good to hear, Emma. Would you like to share about it?

For the past few weeks, I have been calmly telling my neighbor to
minimize the volume of his stereo as it disturbs other houses.
Until last night, It was the last straw,
so I immediately knocked at his door and talked to him for the last time.

How did you react to that?

I got mad as a hornet because my child was not able to sleep because of the loud noise.

How were you able to calm down?

My mom was there to help me calm down. How about you, Ron. When was the last time you got angry?

It was just last week when I had a misunderstanding with my sister.

How were you able to resolve it?

We took some time to keep ourselves cool, then we talked after.

Yes, that is really good.
It is hard to communicate well with people when we are clouded with anger.
