Some people are lucky enough to be born with a good sense of direction and even if they have only visited a place once, they will be able to find it again years later. I am one of those unfortunate people who have sense of direction and I may have visited a place time after time but I still get on my way there. When I was young I was so that I never dared ask strangers the way and so I used to round in circles and hope that I would happen to get to the place I was heading for. I am too shy to ask people for directions, but I often replies that puzzle me. Often people do not like to admit that they didn’t know their hometown and will on telling you the way, even if they do not know it ; others who are to prove that they know their hometown very well, will give you a long of directions which you cannot possibly hope to remember, and still others do not seem to be able to between their left and their right and you find in the end that you are going in the direction. If anyone ever asks me the way to somewhere, I always tell them I am a to the town in order to avoid giving them wrong but even this can have embarrassing (尴尬的) results. Once I was on my way to work when I was stopped by a man who asked me if I would him the way to the Sunlight Building. I gave my reply, but I had not walked on a few steps when I that he had asked for directions to my office building. However, at this point, I decided it was too late to turn back and him in the crowd behind me I was going to meet with someone at the office and I did not want to keep him waiting. Imagine my embarrassment when my secretary showed in the man who had asked for directions to my office and his when he recognized me as the person he had asked.
