Essay & Composition Writing
Nothing were on my mind
The following paragraph is translated from a Chinese passage as written. Please check it.
Several evenings ago, while I was marking corrections on students’ composition at my desk, my daughter, in her third grade in junior high school, asked a nonsensical question of me. “Does the Alps Mountain Range locate in New Zealand?” At that moment, I could hardly believe what I have heard. While I was trying my best to restrain my fury and act as if nothing were on my mind, deep in my heart I was simmered with rage. I then calmly answered her back, “Who is your geography teacher? Why don’t you consult the map?” Consequently, I felt extremely depressed and frustrated about my daughter’s ignorance and negligence.

“Are the Alps located in New Zealand?”
Consequently, I felt extremely depressed and frustrated about my daughter’s ignorance and negligence.
Does 'negligence' work here?-- Yes, but I think that 'laziness' might be more appropriate.
Is 'carelessness' better?- No.
