Polished transcript:

Male Female

To be honest, a time that I broke something was when I was just a child. At that time, I was a student in primary school, so I was young and didn't know much about what could be broken. I had broken a glass portal of my mom's, and this portal was also a favorite of hers. She took great care of it and always reminded me and my sister to be careful with it. Unfortunately, I was careless and broke this portal. After that, I was really scared that my mom would argue with me and be disappointed because I had damaged something very important to her. In the evening of that day, when my mom came home after a few days at work, I was really scared and talked to her honestly. Surprisingly, my mom didn't get angry; instead, she comforted me because she understood I was just a child. I apologized to my mom, and she showed sympathy for me and accepted my apology. It was a lesson learned, and I realized the importance of being careful with things that belong to others.
