Some people have a very poor sense {#blank#}1{#/blank#} direction. Unluckily, I am one of them. I {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (visit) a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time.

    When I was a little girl, I never dared to ask {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (stranger) the way. And so I used to walk round in circles and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to.

Now, I am {#blank#}4{#/blank#} longer shy to ask people for directions, but 1 often receive helpless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (give) people wrong directions. If anyone asks me the way, I will say," Sorry, I am a stranger here."

    Once on my way {#blank#}6{#/blank#} work, I was stopped by a man. He asked me {#blank#}7{#/blank#} could tell him the way to the Friendship Building, I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps, I found {#blank#}8{#/blank#} he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn't want to keep him {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (wait).

    When I just got to my office, the secretary (秘书) showed in the man who had asked me for directions. Imagine how embarrassed I was and how {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (surprise) he was when we saw each other at the first sight!
