3.When I was sixteen years old,I made my first visit to the United States.It wasn't the first time that I had been abroad.Like most English students,I learned French at school.I had been to France many times.But when I went to America,I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language problems.But actually,I was wrong!I was looking for a public telephone to give my American friend Danny a call and tell her that I had arrived.A friendly old man asked me if he could help me.
"Yes,"I said,"I want to give my friend a ring."
"Well,that's nice,"he said."Are you getting married?
"Who is talking about marriage?"I thought."I only want to give my friend a ring to tell her I've arrived.Can you tell me where there's a phone box?"
"Oh!"he said."There's a phone downstairs."
When at last we met,Danny explained the misunderstanding to me.
