初中英语作文2300字：我碰到的一桩趣事(A Funny Thing Happened to Me)
a funny thing happened to me last friday. id gone to london to do some shopping. i wanted to get some christmas presents, and i needed to find some books for my course at school (you see, im a student). i caught an early train to london so by early afternoon id bought everything that i wanted. anyway, im not very fond of london, all the noise and traffic, and id made some arrangements for that evening. so, i took a tai to waterloo station. i cant really afford tais, but i wanted to get the 3:30 train. unfortunately the tai got stuck in a traffic jam, and by the time i got to waterloo, the train had just gone. i had to wait an hour for the net one. i bought an evening newspaper the standard, and wandered over to the station buffet. at that time of day its nearly empty, so i bought a coffee and a packet of biscuits--chocolate biscuits. im yew fond of chocolate biscuits. there were plenty of empty tables and i found one near the window. i sat down and began doing the crossword. enjoy doing crossword puzzles.
after a couple of minutes a man sat down opposite me. there was nothing special about him, ecept that he was very tall. in fact he looked like a typical city businessman--you know, dark suit and briefcase. i didnt say anything and i carried on with my crossword. suddenly he reached across the table, opened my packet of biscuits, took one, dipped it into his coffee and popped it into his mouth, i couldnt believe my eyes! i was too shocked to say any thing. anyway, i didnt want to make a fuss, so i decided to ignore it. i always avoid trouble if i can. i just took a biscuit myself and went back to my crossword.
when the man took a second biscuit, i didnt look up and i didnt make a sound. i pretended to be very interested in the puzzle. after a couple of minutes, i casually put out my hand, took the last biscuit and glanced at the man. he was staring at me furiously. i nervously put the biscuit in my mouth, and decided to leave. i was ready to get up and go when the man suddenly pushed back his chair, stood up and hurried out of the buffet. i felt very re. lieved and decided to wait two or three minutes before going myself. i finished my coffee, folded my newspaper and stood up. and there, on the table, where my newspaper had been, was my packet of biscuits.
