1.Have you ever had an embarrassing (尷尬的) 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 (倒車) 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!
