Some people have a very poor sense of directions.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 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 directions，but I often receive helpless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If anyone ever asks me the way somewhere，I always 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!
