高中英语作文：话能伤人

My classmate admires my fluent English very much and I usually feel encouraged by his compliments.

One day, when we learned the new word “eccentric” in class, we were asked to make a sentence with it. I volunteered to do it by saying q329950885 “My deskmate is an eccentric boy whose clothes never fit him.” Hearing this, the whole class burst into laughter and my deskmate’s face went red. After class, I learned from the teacher that my deskmate would have dropped out of school if he hadn’t been helped by others. My mindless words must have hurt him deeply.

Not until then did I realize words could be powerful in both positive and negative. We should avoid hurting others if we can’t always be encouraging when we speak.
