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 ask strangers the way. And so I used to walk round in circles 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 ever asks me the way somewhere, I always 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 didn39。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.

For her, one thing she can39。t stand is people standing on the wrong side of the escalator(自動(dòng)扶梯 ) in subway stations. Escalators help us move faster and save time. It isn39。t a place to rest, the 24yearold says, I often see tourists blocking(擋住 ) the way with their heavy suitcases or chatting on the escalators during rush hour. It makes me very angry. Agreeing that she is not the patient type, Zhao says things are much better in Hong Kong than in cities on the mainland where people often pay no attention to stand righ
