Diary - My mum gets angry easily every day

[Maybo]

This is an entry from my diary. Please check it and correct any mistakes.

My mum gets angry easily every day and I don't know how to help her to calm down. Sometimes, she just gets angry with petty things, for example, we don't open the windows when it's hot, or she stubs her finger. Many years ago, she shouted so loud that our neighours asked her to shup up and said, "very annoying". I've asked her why she lost her temper easily, she said she couldn't control. The only thing we can do now is to stay at our bedrooms more so it reduces the contact with each other.

My mum gets angry easily every day and I don't know how to help her [to] calm down. Sometimes, she just gets angry with about/over petty things, for example, such as if/when we don't open the windows when it's hot, or if/when she stubs her finger. Many years ago, she shouted so loud that our neighours asked her to shup up and said, "Very annoying". I've asked her why she lost her temper so easily; she said she just/simply couldn't control it/herself. The only thing we can do now is to stay at in our bedrooms more so it reduces the to reduce contact with each other.

See above. I've given you a couple of options for most corrections. In the opening sentence, most native speakers would omit the "to" before "calm down".
Note that "I've asked her why she lost her temper so easily" would refer only to the example you gave of her annoying the neighbours with her shouting. If you're talking more generally, say "I've asked her why she loses her temper ...", then "... can't control ...".

An American might say:

My mum gets angry very easily, and almost every day she flies off the handle.* I don't know how to get her to control her temper.

*loses her temper

How about "she loses her temper/cool"?

I don't know what your neighbours actually shouted, which is probably all in Cantonese but I don't think "very annoying" is a natural response in Cantonese or English. If it's in Cantonese, I would say something like "Don't be so noisy/Stop the noise!"

The neighbour said, “收聲啦！好煩啊！”

Okay, it's "Stop the noise. It's so annoying".

[...] Many years ago, she shouted so loud that our neighours neighbours asked her to shup shut up and said, "very annoying". [...]

Two minor corrections.

Two minor corrections.

Well spotted. The rest of us missed those!

The neighbour said, “收聲啦！好煩啊！”

Okay, what is that?

 

[Maybo]

Okay, what is that?

“Shut up! Very annoying!” in Cantonese.

 

[Tarheel]

@Maybo Apparently that's a direct translation.

An American might say: "Be quiet! Please! You're getting on my nerves!" Or a ruder version might be, "Shut the f**k up!"

 

[Maybo]

When do people say “shut up”? Doesn’t it mean stop talking?

 

[Tarheel]

Yes. That's exactly what it means.

 

[Tarheel]

WHY do people say “shut up”? Doesn’t it mean stop talking?

Yes. If you are very irritated with somebody you might say that.
