（单词翻译）

I’m always careless with what I’m doing. My mother warns¹ me of the dangers, but I turned a deaf ear to her words. However, a fire once gave me a good lesson and made me correct my shortcomings of carelessness².

One day, my parents were out, so I decided³ to prepare lunch for myself. As I was cooking in the kitchen, the telephone rang. I went to answer the call immediately. It was my closest friend Linda. We were talking and talking on the phone when the fire alarm sounded. I ran back to the kitchen, finding⁴ the room was full of smoke and the food was badly burnt. I quickly turned off the gas, opened all the windows and then went out of the house. To my surprise, two fire engines were outside my house. One of my neighbors called the fire brigade. I told the firemen it was my careless cooking that caused the heavy smoke. I was quite ashamed⁵ of myself and made up my mind to be careful with whatever I do from then on.
