Some people have a very poor sense of direction.Unluckily,I am one of them.I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time.

When I was a little girl, I never dared to ask strangers the way.And so I used to walk round in circle and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to.

Now,I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions,but I often receive helpless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions.If anyone asks me the way somewhere,I would say,"sorry,I am a stranger here."

Once on my way to work,I was stopped by a man.He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building.I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps,I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him.I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn't want to keep him waiting.

When I just got to my office,the secretary showed in the man who had asked me for directions.Imagine how embarrassed I was and how surprised he was when we saw each other at the first sight!
