Lots of people in Shanghai have their own pets, especially dogs. The dogs will poop everywhere on the street, or under a car, or maybe they poo near a bicycle. That’s quite anooying, because if I don’t pay attention, I will step on the shit. When that shit thing happen, I will just go around if I’m lucky. I will be very angry inside of me, but I won’t express it out. I think people in SH, no matter they have their own dog, they all think it’s quite annoying and impolite, it gets troubles for the cleaners to clean the street and for the pedestrians going on the street.

The decision that I regret most is 20 years ago, when I just entered into primary school, I pushed a girl off the monkey bar, and caused her a serious brain concussion. Her family was very poor . Her parents divorced, she lived with her mom in a 10 square meters’ room. I caused a lot pain for the girl, and her mom had to take leaves from work to take care of her. So if I had a chance to rewrite my childhood, I would change this part. I would never have pushed her off the monkey bar, and I would have been good friends with her, bringing her with snacks

Revised

There is a decision that I regret the most. 20 years ago, when I just got into primary school/ when I was in grade 1, I pushed a girl off the monkey bar, and she suffered with a serious brain concussion. Her family was very poor . Her parents were divorced, she lived with her mom in a 10 meters square feet room. The accident had caused a lot of distress for the girl, and her mom had to take leaves from work to take care of her. So if I had a chance to rewrite the incident, I would have never done it. I would never have pushed her off the monkey bar, and I could have been good friends with her.
