Have you ever had an embarrassing (尴尬的) experience? Last week we asked readers to tell us
about embarrassing experience. We received thousands of letters ! Here is a selection.
Tony :
My most embarrassing experience happened when I had just left university. I had just started
teaching in a Liverpool secondary school. One morning my alarm clock didn't ring. I woke up at half
past eight and school began at nine. I quickly washed, dressed, jumped into my car and rushed to
school. When I arrived, the students had already gone into class. I didn't go to the office, but went
straight into class. After two or three minutes the students began laughing, and I couldn't understand
why! Suddenly I looked down and understood. I had put on one black shoe and one brown shoe !
Henry :
The most embarrassing experience I've ever had, happened two years ago. After seeing a film,
my wife and I had lunch in our favourite restaurant in town. Then we decided to take a walk along the
street. The street was very busy and we started holding hands. Suddenly my wife saw a dress that she
liked in a shop window, and stopped. I started looking at some watches in the next window. After a
minute or two I reached for my wife's hand. There was a loud scream, and a woman slapped my face.
I hadn't taken my wife's hand. I'd taken the hand of a complete stranger !
James:
My wife and I had decided to buy a new house, and I'd made an appointment to see our bank
manager. I'd never met him before. I went into town in my car and I was lucky enough to find a parking
space outside the bank. I'd just started reversing (倒车) into the space when another car made its
way into it. I was irritated! I opened my window and shouted at the man in the car. He ignored me
and walked away. It took me twenty minutes to find another place. As soon as I had parked the car,
I rushed back to the bank. I was ten minutes late for my appointment. I went to the manager's office,
knocked and walked in. The manager was sitting behind his desk. He was the man who had taken my
parking space! |
