①那是一個周末。媽媽給了你兩張電影票讓你獨自去看電影；一張你自己用，把另一張賣掉，票價是兩角。（因為你媽媽忙于家務，顧不上去。）
②你匆匆忙忙到了電影院。你把票拿在手上，尋找買票人。一個長得英俊的年輕小伙子走上前來，面帶微笑要買你的票。
③問過價錢后，他掏郵一張10元的錢讓你找，你不知所措。他說讓你等等，他去電影院商店換錢。你左等右等不見他來，走過去一看，他進了男廁所。這時你意識到他騙了你。

An Unpleasant Experience
沈青
It was during a weekend. Mum gave me two tickets for a film and told me she was too busy with the endless housework to go with me . She told me to keep the money if I could sell the extra ticket. I was very happy, of course . At that time , a ticket only cost 20 fen . But to me, a little girl of 12,20 fen seemed quite a lot.
I reached the cinema in a great hurry. Holding the ticket in my hand, I began to look for a buyer. A handsome young man noticed me and the ticket in my hand. He came towards me with a big smile, “You＇ve got an extra ticket?”
“Yes,”I nodded .
“That＇s great . Say , how much?”
“Twenty fen.”
“ Oh ,”he thought for a while and then took out a ten-yuan note from his wallet.
“I＇m very sorry, but I＇ve only got this note.” Seeing I was confused① , he added, “Then, how about waiting for a while and I＇ll give you the money after I have changed it in the cinema＇s store?”
Without much thinking, I agreed. Then we went to the cinema together. He walked fast. I could hardly keep up with him. By and by, he left me further and further behind. Soon he disappeared in the Gents②. I stood there without knowing what to do. Suddenly I seemed to realize the handsome young fellow had cheated me. He had saved twenty fen, but lost his honour.

【寫法指要】
1）本文是一篇敘述過去某時發生的一件事的文章，所以我們把它稱為過去記敘文（past narration）。文章通過敘事和對話，把人物的活動描寫得活靈活現，我們好像在看一段電影剪輯。
2）文中有不少體現人物性格的好的表達，如“in a great hurry”,“with a big smile”,“That＇s great. Say, how much?”,“without much thinking”,“without knowing what to do”,“He had saved twenty fen, but lost his honour.”
