A. always argues B. are always arguing C. always argue D. are arguing Read a text about saying sorry. Decide if each of the statements is T (TRUE), F (FALSE) or DS (DOESN'T SAY). We all argue with our friends and family. Sometimes we say bad things loudly or do things that can hurt the others' feelings. It's great when all that doesn't happen, but when it does, we need to do something about it. It's a very simple something, but it can also feel like the most difficult thing in the world. That something is the act of saying sorry (and it's something the English do a lot - about eight times a day!). Experts report that saying sorry is good for our relationships and our mental health. It reduces our stress levels by stopping us from getting worried too much. It helps us sleep at night without waking up and thinking about our problems. In most cases, saying sorry makes a bad situation better. It's important that we say exactly what we did wrong. By doing this, the listeners understand that we know what hurts them but want to put things right, and it repairs relationships. Sometimes we make ourselves say sorry although deep inside us, we feel otherwise. This often doesn't work well because it's not an honest 'sorry'. Saying sorry might not make everything right, but it is a step in the right direction. The other person may not accept what we have to say (and that's okay, too), but that shouldn't stop us from doing it. It can be difficult, but if we say sorry often, and mean it, then it becomes a habit. Unlike arguing all the time or not talking to your friends when they upset you, saying sorry is truly a great habit to have. 36. The people who are close to us might be hurt by our words or actions. _______ 37. Saying sorry can help people get physically fitter. _______ 38.
