To controlOne cannot control himself or herself all the time; they will always do something that is very strange which couldn’t be understood by themselves after a short time. This sense happens several times everyday, we all know what we are doing, but we don’t know why we are doing that, especially for when we are unhappy, upset, or tired. When we are very excited, we cannot control ourselves well. For example, when a boy stands in front of a beautiful girl, he might not speak well, he might turn red, even turn foolish.Or, if you find out that the man who is asking you the way to the Bank of China is a famous movie star, will you still be like a gentleman or a lady? Can you lead him the way without asking his autograph? Even you can control yourself well, maybe you won’t go off to a faint after hearing bad news, but maybe you can’t control yourself from becoming too happy. Here is an example: During the Second World War, the English Royal Navy caught a German spy, but the spy told them that he was a French sailor, he could speak French very well, even better than some Frenchmen. The English officers were very worried. If they couldn’t prove that the spy was a German-speaker, they would have to free him, the man whom they knew but cannot prove. They tried to prove, they used German to tell him that his mother and wife would be killed if he didn’t acknowledge that he was a spy, they even used German to tell him that the prison where he lived was on fire, he had to go away or he would be killed. However, the spy didn’t move at all until he saw the fire. Months past, the officers who ask him questions didn’t believe that the man was really a German spy; they thought that the man would never speak German. Before they could free him, an expert who made a great contribution to the Psychology came. The officers had been told one way. The next day, The spy was brought to a room, which they always uses to free prisoners, when the spy went in, the officer who works to free prisoners was reading newspaper, and then he began to work alone, without paying any attention to the spy. After hours, the officer began to ask him finally, after some custom questions, a long silence came, then, the officer said in a low voice, ‘You are free, gentleman’, Which is said in German. A happy smile came to the spy’s face, before he could change his mind; he was proved to be a German spy. That’s the entire story, it might be too short, but it’s based on the history.Don’t you think that the spy is too unlucky? He controlled himself very well, but his mother tongue’s German anyway. In fact we don’t feel very well with controlling ourselves, but why do we do it? The answer is very easy; we have to survive. One to control oneself well can tell others that he or she is good at being polite, yes, I believe that no one would like to behave just the same as what they do in the public places, they don’t want to sit like a statue, nor do they want to eat like a fool-use such lots of dishes like a dinner party, and then wash such lots of dishes. Everything will go wrong if you cannot control little things well. (594 words)
