21.匆忙
Hurry
You should say:
What you were doing
When this was
Why you had to hurry
And explain how you felt at that time
I’m going to talk about a tiem when I had to hurry toget ready dor a trip with some colleagues while I was working in a previousjob.
It was a Monday morning about five years ago.
Agroup of us had to catch an early flight, and asenior member of our department had volunteered to drive us to the airport.
I was supposed to be ready and waiting to be picked upfrom my home at 5.30 a.m., and my colleague had asked me to look out for hiscar so that he didn’t have to ring my doorbell.
The problem was that I overslept.
I had set my alarm, but somehow I must have turned itoff and carried on sleeping.
Suddenly, at 5.30 a.m., my dooorbell rang and I lookedover at my alarm clock.
I immediately realised what had happened, and I sprangout of bed and got dressed in record time.
I splashed some water on my face, quickly brushed myteeth, and put my shoes on without properly tying the laces.
Then I picked up my suitcase and coat, and left thehouse.
I can still remember the moment when the dooorbellwoke me up and I saw the time: I was filled with a sense of panic and fear as Irealised that my colleague were waiting outside.
Then, when I left my house and walked towards theawaiting car, I felt so embarrassed because it was obvious that I hadn’t beenready on time.
