I had an argument with my friend, she is very easy to angry. She is pregnant, she says she will be a nice mother. We talk about children education, other friend said she could be calmed down. When she heard this sentence, she was very angry. I made an example: when parents teach their kid about math or English many times, the kid can’t understand this problem, I think parents will be angry. But my friend don’t think so. She think she would not be angry when her kid can’t understand. She said I curse诅咒 her kid is foolish, but I didn’t mean it that way. So we had an argument.

Revised

I had an argument with my friend, she gets angry very easily. She is pregnant, she says she will be a nice mother. We talked about children education, my other friend said she should calm down. When she heard about this sentence, she was very angry. I gave an example: when parents teach their kids about math or English over a period of time, but the kid still can’t understand this problem, I think the parents will be angry. But my friend didn’t think so. She thinks she would not be angry if her kid couldn’t understand. She said I curse诅咒 that her kid will be foolish, but I didn’t mean it that way. So we had an argument.
