Question

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

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，it suddenly began to rain. I at once ran into a nearby phone box because 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（假裝） I was talking to someone. I thought the man would go away，but he didn’t. He just waited in the rain，watching me. I had to wave my hands about and acted 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 red in the face and I hurried away with my head down，feeling a complete fool. That was certainly one of the most embarrassing moments of my life!

試題分析: 本文是一篇記敘文。我去城里購物，正當(dāng)我在回家的路上時，突然下起了雨，我躲在電話亭里避雨。一個年輕人走來，我不想出去，就假裝打電話，讓他在外面等。過了十分鐘，雨停了。當(dāng)那個年輕人說他不用電話，只是來修電話時，我感覺自己的臉紅了，低頭匆忙逃跑，感覺太愚蠢了。
