Text 10

I had a strange experience while I was working in Germany. One day， I was walking down the street in a small town. I was wearing a thick scarf because it was snowing. Suddenly I heard somebody call my name. When I looked around I saw that it was Tim. I met him last summer in New York. I was American and lived in New York， and Tim had been on holiday in my hometown. After the holiday he had returned to Germany， and we hadn’t been in touch since then. Tim had no idea I was in Germany and he didn’t even live in this town. He had just been visiting a friend. But he recognized me even though it was snowing and I was wearing a thick scarf. After that we stayed in touch and became good friends.
