Hello, guys. I’m Brian. I’m happy to be speaking with you. My old friend and I had a disagreement that led to a falling out, but my teacher gave me some advice: Be kind, not right. I apologized to my friend for my part, and we talked it out. We both realized our mistakes and how much we valued our friendship. Thanks to my teacher, we fixed our broken friendship.

My name is Agnes. I’m delighted to have the opportunity to speak with you. Last year, I entered a painting contest but struggled to finish my painting in time. When I felt like giving up, my mother encouraged me to keep going, reminding me of my past accomplishments. Thanks to her support, I found the motivation to finish and submit my painting. While I didn’t win, I learned the importance of not giving up and the value of having someone believe in me. Thanks, Mom!
