It is important to say" No" if necessary although it is not easy. My best friend Julia asked me to help her look after her pet dog when she travelled to Shanghai. I wanted to say" no" to her, but I agreed. I was busy to look after it well, and then bad happened. Her dog got because of me. Julia was angry and said she wouldn't in me anymore. I hoped she could trust me again. Then she said unless I to take her dog to the animal hospital with her, she wouldn't forgive(原谅) me.
, I broke my promise again. Because I had an important the next day. So I must prepare it. When Julia called me, I was studying for my exam carefully. I didn't answer the phone in time. This made her even than before. Later, I said sorry and talked to her about the reasons . She was so understanding that she forgave me.
From then on, I know that sometimes we need to say" No." It's important.
