Question

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 round in circle 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 asks me the way somewhere，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 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!
