On Tuesday last week, I was riding my motorbike to school. Actually, I was in a hurry; otherwise, I would have been late for the class. Unfortunately, there was aheavy traffic jam. In front of me there was just a long stream of cars and bikes. Therefore, I had no choice but to slow down and join the queue of vehicles.
Suddenly, a scooter hit me from behind, which made me panic and fall off my bike. I suffered a few bruises [bru:z] and a minor elbow [elbou] injury. A few seconds later, the rider on the scooter got off, came up to me and apologized for the accident. He also offered to take me to hospital for a checkup, but it was unnecessary as I was okay.
To be honest, at first, I was very angry with him for crashing into my motorbike, but his sincere concern calmed me down and I decided to accept his apology. Then, I continued on my way to school.
I realize that we can all make mistakes sometimes, but if we make an apology, almost everyone will forgive us. So, it is best to take responsibility for your mistakes.
