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 around in circles 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 di?rections,but I often receive helpless or even wrong in?formation. So I try to avoid giving people wrong direc?tions. If anyone ever asks me the way somewhere _f 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 rus?hing 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(秘书) 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.
