Have you ever had an embarrassing experience? Last week we asked readers to tell us about embarrassing experiences. 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 middle 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 favorite 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(陌生人)!

This sad story happened on a cold winter evening. It was so cold and snow was falling so heavily that the roads were covered with ice and a strong wind was blowing. Being outside in such weather was very unwise. However, Peter Lee had to walk home from work. Peter walked with difficulty along a country road, the cold wind beating against his chest. He thought, “If I wear my coat backwards, maybe, it will be a little bit warmer for me.” He stopped walking, took off his coat, and put it on backwards. “That’s much better,” he said to himself happily. Walking on through the thickly falling snow, he was thinking about drinking a cup of warm coffee by the burning fireplace.
A few minutes later, a car knocked down Peter. The driver hadn’t seen him soon enough. When he tried his best to put on the brakes (刹车), the car skidded (打滑) on the icy road. The frightened driver got out of the car and ran to see how the poor man was.
After a while, a police car arrived. A policeman went up to see Mr Lee who was lying on the ground. He told the driver, “I’m afraid he’s dead.”
The driver was so surprised. “This can’t be the case, because I hardly touched him. Check my car carefully. There’s not a mark on it.”
The policeman said, “I’m sure he’s dead.”
“It’s impossible,” the driver said anxiously. “As soon as I hit him, I ran to help him. He was lying on the road, but he was breathing and there was no blood.”
“Did you touch him?” the policeman asked.
“Yes, but only to turn his head around the right way,” the driver answered.
