a)
I feel angry when I have to wait in long queues at the supermarket, or when my parents don’t allow me to stay out late. I also get angry when people lie to me.
b)
The last time I got angry was two weeks ago when my brother accused me of taking his football. I felt outraged because I hadn’t even touched his football! After a brief argument, we both eventually calmed down. Moments later, we found the football under his bed!

We can deal with our anger by taking a step back from the situation and talking about it calmly, without raising our voices.

I have tried going for a walk after a heated argument. This helped me to calm down. Afterwards, I was able to discuss the situation without getting upset or angry. In the future, I will try playing sports in order to channel my energy into something more positive.
You can manage your anger by recognising the times of the day when you are most irritable and then avoiding emotional discussions at these times.
When you finally confront the person who has made you angry, try to listen to their side of the story. Always think before you speak and avoid saying things that you will regret later. Also, avoid accusing the other person (You did/said this …) and instead, focus on your own feelings and possible solutions to the problem.
