【名师面对面】英语B本八年级下册Unit 5 What were you doing when the rainstorm came周末作业
①Embarrassment(尴尬的事情) is just a fact of life. I had such an embarrassing moment(时刻) in Grade 9.
②One Friday, I got the chance to play a basketball game. Although I wasn't a very good player, we weren't playing against the best opponents(对手), either. I felt pretty good as we began to warm up. Then we gathered at the sports hall, waiting for the referee(裁判员) to call out each player. Then it was our turn and I would be the fifth. One by one, my teammates ran out. I waited. "Number 52, Murphy." "Here," I replied. I ran out quickly. Then my eyes fell on the orange and black mascot (吉祥物). As I reached out to touch it, I fell down. What made me feel embarrassed was that my team began laughing instead of helping me out. To my embarrassment, one of our opponents offered me a hand. I took it. I can't remember how I played the game that day.
③In the following days, I always thought of the tumble which caused my embarrassing moment. Every time I thought back to the moment, I felt much worse than last time.
④Today, when one of my old classmates brings it up, it doesn't hurt. In fact, the moment hurt more than now because I didn't want others to remember me for something so silly(愚蠢的). To be honest, now I'm glad it happened — it's funny and it still makes people laugh. One embarrassing moment doesn't make much difference to a person's life. Probably it can make for a good story later in life.
