3After a quarrel with my parents, I often feel regret. I tend to think about all the care and concern they showered on me in the past, and then I will try my best to make up with them by all means. Sometimes I will simply apologize to them or give them a big hug so that we can quickly forget all the problems. If they are too angry, I may do some house chores such as tidying up the room or making a meal while waiting for their fury to calm down. Alternatively, I will buy a gift they like to please them. As a last resort, I will ask my grandparents to come to persuade my parents out of their rage.
