I was a lazy boy, but once there was an embarrassing thing changed me and gave me the(勇气) to face my troubles.

Last summer (假期), I went to visit the Yellow Crane Tower(黄鹤楼) in my hometown Wuhan, Although I have lived here all my life, I had never been to the tower before. Lost in the beautiful views, I suddenly heard a (嗓音), "Excuse me?" I turned around and saw a foreigner. He (继续), saying, "Are you a local person? Can you show me around? I'm a stranger here."

I didn't know what to say. If I said yes. I knew little about the tower. If I said no, it was also a lie. My face turned red.

"Well, as far as I know, the Yellow Crane Tower is an (古老的) building." That's all I knew and my voice was so low that I couldn't even hear (我自己). Just at this time, a man's voice (打破) the silence, "Pardon me, but I can show you around." Then the gray-haired old man began to (解释) the history and customs of Wuhan and the history of the Yellow Crane Tower in fluent English, and I listened carefully. My embarrassment was gone, but the admiration(敬仰) for the old man still (停留).

The embarrassment at that moment has become a motivation(动力) for my study and  (进步), which helps me understand that there is no end to learning.
