Hi ΒωωνΚυαν,
I think you have translated 着急 as excitedly.
“Excited” in Chinese is 兴奋 which has different meaning to 着急.
着急 means “feel anxious or worried”.
My English is not very good. Please correct me if I am wrong.

A plate is broken like this.
Did yu everyou broke a plate when you where young,

Mother seeing the broken plate asked, “Who broke it”, “I broke it”, the child said. “How did you brake it?”
