Have you ever done something foolish and it made you feel so embarrassed（尴尬的）? Well, that’s exactly how I felt. On a Saturday morning last autumn．I went to town to do some shopping and as I was on my way home from the shop，it suddenly began to rain. I at once ran into a nearby phone box because I didn’t have an umbrella．It was raining so heavily that I had to stay in the phone box until it stopped． A few moments later，I saw a young man walk up to the phone box，wearing a yellow raincoat and holding a box. I didn’t want to go out into the rain，so I picked up the phone and pretended（假装） I was talking to someone. I thought the man would go away，but he didn’t. He just waited in the pouring rain，and I acted as if I was deep in conversation. Luckily，the rain stopped after about ten minutes．“Okay，Mum，” I said loudly into the phone，“I’ll see you later. Bye!” I put the phone down, picked up my shopping bag and walked out of the phone box. “I’m sorry I took so long.” I said to the man． “Oh, I don’t want to use the phone,” he answered, smiling．“I’ve just come to repair it. There is something wrong with it, you see .” I felt myself go red in the face and I hurried away with my head down，feeling a complete fool. That was certainly one of the most embarrassing moments of my life! 小题1:Why did the writer go to the phone box and stay there?
