[交流] 【Original】My embarrassing experience

Nearly three years ago, I found a job in this city and began to live in a new environment. A few months later, I knew the roads and bus lines nearby, but I was still not familiar with the transport in other places.
One day, on my way back home from the market with my roommate, a foreigner asked us: can you speak English? He was happy when I answered yes.  He showed me a downloaded map and told me that he want to drive around the reservoir but he was lost. I was not familiar with the roads, too.  At last, I pointed the way after discussed with my roommate.  During our discussion , I saw his beautiful wife in the car.  I felt sorry for my poor oral English, but he praised me. When they left,  he thanked me a lot.
One year later,I met  my boyfriend. We went for a drive on a weekend afternoon. I was astonished when we drove a wrong line and went to the highway around the reservoir .  Oh my! I pointed a totally opposite way to the foreigners. I felt so embarrassed and sorry for them. Now, when we passed by that way, my husband always made a joke about it. But I hope one day I could help other foreigners , because I am a good guide now.

I felt it difficult to write this diary because I have not written in English for such a long time. I need more practice.

It is very nice of qinghuahigh to point out my mistake. It is better to use embarrassing than embarrassed.

You are right. But "familiar" and "experience" were wrongly spelt, and "oral English" is better I think. ^-^
