I still remember the first day in a middle school in Jordan. It was a funny  36  for me. I was interested in teaching English to middle school students. It was a listening class and I had to take the students to the computer lab. In the lab I  37  with an introduction on how to use the computer. A little while later, I  38   that two students were not listening to me.1 went to see what was going on. I was surprised to find that they were playing games! The two students were playing so excitedly that I decided not to __39  them.

    I started playing the game, too, and asked one of them to have a(n)  40  with me. At this moment the whole class got together  41  us and started backing me up, saying: "TEACHER! TEACHER! TEAC.HER!" Their shouting was too loud, but I couldn't realize that because of my full attention to the game. Then I jumped  42  in the air saying: "YES!I DID IT!I WON THE RACE!" But to my surprise, all the students kept silent.

    I turned to see the headmaster looking with round  43  at me.1 was embarrassed（尷尬的）and didn't know what to say. Then he said, "What an interesting listening class!" After the class, he asked me to go to his room and started blaming me for what I had done. My face was all     44  .

    This was an unforgettable   45  in my teaching experience. It always made me laugh when. I thought of it.

Like most English children, I learned foreign languages at school. When I made my first visit to the United States, I was sure I could have a nice and easy holiday without any language problem. But how wrong I was!
At the American airport, I was looking for a public telephone to tell my friend Danny that I had arrived. An American asked if he could help me. "Yes," I said, '1 want to give my friend a ring."
"Well, that's nice. Are you getting married?" he asked. "No," I replied, "I just want to tell him I have arrived." "Oh," he said, "there is a phone downstairs on the first floor." "But we're on the first floor now," I said.
"Well, I don't know what you are talking about Maybe you aren't feeling too well after your journey," he said. "Just go and wash up, and you will feel a lot better." And he went off, leaving me wondering where on earth I was: At home we wash up after a meal to get the cups and plates clean. How can I wash up at an airport?
At last we did meet. Danny explained the misunderstanding: Americans say "to give someone a call", but we English say "to give somebody a ring". When we say "to wash your hands", they say "to wash up". And Englishmen start numbering from the ground floor so the first floor is the second for Americans.
