Saying Sorry Twice

Yesterday Zhang Qiang and I were playing happy① in the classroom and didnt notice that Wang Lis pencil box was on the desk. I knocked it off and her pen was broken.

I spoke② sorry to her， but she was still angry with me. As a result， I had a quarrel with her. Our teacher came in and stopped us quarrel③. I said sorry to her again， and told her I would buy her a new pen， but she refused to accept it. I would be more careful when playing.
