Unit 02-speaking- 0988 055 990

One morning I got up late. It was half past six
and school began at 7. I quickly washed my
face, brushed my teeth, dressed, jumped on my
motorbike and drove to school. When arriving at
school, I went straight into the class and greeted
my students. All the students began laughing. I
couldn’t understand why. Suddenly, I looked
down and realized that I had put on one brown
shoe and one yellow shoe. That is one of the
most memorable experience in my life. I often
feel embarrassed when thinking of it.
