  Have you ever done something foolish that made you feel so embarrassed(尴尬的)?

  Well, that’s exactly how I felt.On a Saturday morning last autumn.I had gone to town to do some shopping and as I was on my way home to the shop,it suddenly began to rain.I at once rail into a nearby phone box since I didn’t have an umbrella.It was raining so heavily that I have to stay in the phone box until it stopped.

  A few moments later,I saw a young man walk up to the phone box,wearing a yellow raincoat and holding a box.I didn’t want to go out into the rain,so I picked up the phone and pretended I was talking to someone.I thought the man would go away,but he didn’t.He just waited in the pouring rain,watching me wave my hands about and act as if I was deep in conversation.

  Luckily,it began to stop after about ten minutes.“Okay,Mum,” I said loudly into the phone,“I’ll see you later Bye!”I put the phone down.picked up my shopping bag and walked out of the phone box“I’m sorry I took so long,”I said to the man.

  “Oh, I don’t want to use the phone,”he replied.smiling.“I’ve just come to repair it.It’s out of order.you see” I felt myself go bright red in the face and I hurried away with my head down,feeting a complete fool.That was certainly one of the most embarrassing moments of my life!
