20.Recently,I was given a golden opportunity to sing a solo piece in an opera gala(节日),the first time I had been chosen to do this.The concert was due to take place in London last Saturday evening and all the soloists had to get there by ten o'clock in the morning in order to rehearse(排演) with the orchestra(管弦乐队).
I had agreed to sing with my local choir in Oxford on Friday evening,so I told the organisers that I would travel to London on Saturday morning.They said they would send a chauffeur-driven car to pick me up,which I was very flattered by,I can tell you!
I wanted to make sure that I got to London well before the rehearsal started,so I asked the driver to pick me up at seven o'clock.I reckoned it would take a maximum of two hours to get to the concert hall in Central London,which would give me an hour to practise before I had to rehearse.
The driver arrived at seven sharp,and we set off for London.We got onto the motorway in no time and I had just started to think that I had given myself too much time for the trip when the traffic ground to a halt(停止).The driver reassured me that it would soon start moving again.When the traffic was still at a standstill 30minutes later,I began to panic.
I apologised to the driver,jumped out of the car and started to walk along the hard shoulder of the motorway.However,a police officer on a motorbike stopped and told me I was breaking the law.
There was no alternative but to clamber up the steep incline to the road above.It had started to rain,so I was soaked to the skin,my shoes were covered in mud,and my trousers were torn.I flagged down a lorry,and the driver very kindly took me to the nearest train station.
On the train,I was able to clean up a bit,but I still arrived at the concert hall looking like a scarecrow(衣衫褴褛的人).The conductor was very kind and gave me a few minutes to gather my thoughts.Eventually,I was able to rehearse with the orchestra,and in the evening,I gave the performance of my life!

A.A chance to sing a solo for the first time.

D.His first chance to be the main soloist in an opera in London.
