No matter what pushes your buttons, one thing is certain—you're sure to get angry sometimes and there's nothing wrong with feeling mad. Everyone does. What counts is how you deal with it when you're angry. The following approaches may help you.
When you get angry, you can calm yourself down inside. First, start by noticing what you're angry about and why. Put into words what's making you upset so you can act rather than react. Second, take a while to think of potential solutions before taking an action you'll regret. Besides, take a deep breath to lower your heart rate, calm yourself down and let the feelings slip away. If you do this regularly, you'll find that anger is less likely to build up.
Another effective way is to distract (使…分心) yourself. If you find yourself annoyed about something and just can't seem to let go, it can help to do something that will get your mind past what's annoying you—watch TV, read, or go to the movies.
A third approach is when you get angry, you can go for a walk, work out, or go to play a sport, which is a great way to improve your mood and decrease negative feelings.
Additionally, express anger directly in an appropriate tone. If you have been offended or disrespected, it is OK to say, "When you said my work was bad in front of the others, I felt angry. I'd like to talk to you about the situation so that we can improve our relationship."
Anger, a strong emotion, can feel overwhelming (无法抗拒) at times. Learning how to deal with strong emotions-without losing control-is part of becoming more mature. It takes some effort, practice, and patience, but you can get there if you want to.

One possible version：
Dear Miss Liu,
I am a student from Class 2 Senior 3. The moment I saw your poster for recruiting volunteers, I knew I should try my luck. I am always a strong advocator for environmental protection. Besides, my hometown is by Chaohu Lake, which not only provides abundant resources but also is a popular tourist attraction.
In terms of my character, I'm happy to tell you that I'm an outgoing and committed person with a good team work spirit, I've learned a lot from participating in some volunteer programs in the past, such as cutting hair for empty nesters and collecting rubbish on the river at weekends. I am very confident that my involvement in this project will make it very different.
Look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours Sincerely,
Li Hua
