Last year I went to an old-fashioned bar with Lisa and her mother. When it was my turn to order, I had a problem. I was dyslexic (ËжÁÀ§ÄѵÄ). I had difficulty reading words. I felt embarrassed about it and didn¡¯t want others to know it. Every time in restaurants, I pretended (¼Ù×°) that I could understand menus and ordered something that almost every restaurant could have. Luckily, I succeeded every time. This time I did as usual. bar should have this kind of ice cream. But as soon as Lisa heard me, she said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you read the menu? There I had a look at the menu and asked for a dish of vanilla ice cream. I thought it was safe. A place like this isn¡¯t any vanilla ice cream at all.¡± After I heard this, my face turned red. And I had to tell them the truth(ÕæÏà). ¡°Dyslexia is quite common, Betty. My friend¡¯s daughter had this problem four years ago, but she is better now,¡± Lisa¡¯s mother said to me. Then she passed me a business card and said, ¡°Go to see this doctor! Believe me! He can help you.¡± I am better now. I understand that sometimes it isn¡¯t the thing itself but what we have done that makes us embarrassed. I have learned to face my problems. I won¡¯t escape (ÌÓ±Ü) from them anymore.
