(A) Have you ever had an embarrassing（尷尬的）experience?
Tony: I had just started teaching in a Liverpool secondary school. One morning my alarm clock didn't ring. I woke up at half past eight and school began at nine. I quickly washed, dressed, jumped into my car and rushed to school. When I arrived, the students had already gone into class. I went straight into class. After two or three minutes the students began laughing and laughing! Why? Suddenly I looked down and understood. I had put on one black shoe and one brown shoe!
Henry: After seeing a film, we decided to walk along the street. The street was very busy and we started holding hands. Suddenly my wife saw a dress that she liked in a shop window, and stopped. I started looking at some watches in the next window. After a minute or two I reached for my wife's hand. There was a loud scream(尖叫), and a girl slapped(摑) my face！I hadn't taken my wife's hand. I'd taken the hand of a girl!
James: I had decided to buy a new house, and I'd made an appointment (約定)to see our bank manager. I'd never met him before. I was lucky enough to find a parking space outside the bank. I'd just started reversing(倒車) into the space when another car made its way into it. I was so angry! I shouted at the man in the car. He ignored(不理) me and walked away. It took me twenty minutes to find another place. I was ten minutes late for my appointment. I went to the manager's office, knocked and walked in. The manager was sitting behind his desk. He was the man who had taken my parking space!
