How I resolve a conflict.
Dear Diana,
I would like to tell you how I resolved a conflict.
The conflict was between my friend and me. So, you know, friends always have a different friendly quarrels but it have never lead to serious conflict. And I didn’t even thought that our daily conversation can lead to conflict.
Once, my friend and I had an ordinary conversation about school, homework and etc. But then I found that our answers was not similar, so I decided to tell my friend about it because he would like to take a good mark, and I was sure that my answer was absolutely right. But then he start to shout on me and saying that I was wrong not him. Of course at first I was confused, because I didn’t even expected that he would shout on me about it. Then I advised him to calm down and listen to me. My friend didn’t want to agree with me, because he was sure that his answer was right and he just wanted me to admit that I was wrong. So, we decided to ask our teacher and she explained to him that he had a small mistake in calculation, so it lead to differences in our answers.
Sometimes it is the best idea to ask someone who older than you to help to solve a conflict. I hope my experience will be useful for your readers.
All the best,
Daria.

How I resolved a conflict.***
Dear Diana,I would like to tell you about how I resolved a conflict.
The conflict was between my friend and me. So, you know, friends always have different friendly quarrels* but it never leads to serious conflict. And I had not even imagined that our daily conversation could lead to conflict.
One day my friend and I had an ordinary conversation about school, homework and so on. But then I found that our answers were not similar, so I decided to tell my friend about it because he would like to get a good mark, and I was sure that my answer was absolutely right. But then he started to shout at me, saying that I was wrong, not he/him****. Of course at first I was confused, because I had never expected that he would shout at me about it. Then I advised him to calm down and listen to me. My friend didn’t want to agree with me, because he was sure that his answer was right and he just wanted me to admit that I was wrong. So, we decided to ask our teacher and she explained to him that he had a small mistake in calculation, thus leading to the differences in our answers.
Sometimes it is the best idea to ask someone who is older than you to help to solve a conflict. I hope my experience will be useful to/for you, too.**
All the best,

*or, friends always have slight disagreements...
**or, useful to all you readers, too.
***You're hired! (at the UN). Not fired.
****'not he' is grammatically right, but on the streets one would nearly always hear 'not him'.
Very well written!
