    An Embarrassing Moment of My Life

    I have an embarrassing memory which was brought about by my favorite food — seaweeds.

    Japanese people commonly eat seaweed, especially a seaweed product called nori. Nori is sheets of dried seaweed and definitely an essential ingredient to the Japanese cuisine such as sushi and rice balls. I really like its unique flavor and eat them on a daily basis.

    Anyway, one day, I went to a popular ramen shop near my flat before my doctor appointment. I ordered ramen and extra nori as I'm very fond of seaweed. After eating tasty ramen, I saw my doctor, but I found that he looked at me somewhat awkwardly.

    I wasn't sure what his strange facial expression meant. However, I eventually found the reason when I went to a bathroom and looked at a large mirror: the seaweeds I ate at lunch stuck to my teeth and my face looked like a silly clown. My cheeks burned with embarrassment.

    I still like seaweeds, but I've tried to avoid eating nori just before meeting someone.

    Very nicely written; almost perfect!

    Be aware that "by the way" indicates that you're diverging from the main topic or making a side note. On the other hand "anyway" indicates that you're going to continue discussing the main topic, so that's what you want to use here.

    I've never heard it said that way but I understood what you meant. "hold onto" sounds more natural.

    When I arrived at the office, my boss was eating donuts.

    I practiced(/am practicing) making sentences using "ing" and the "past participle"!

    When I saw my friend at the airport, she started crying.

    When I was a student I would often spend a whole day watching movies in the uncomfortable seat at movie theater.

    Seen from the top of the hill, all of the hikers walking on the path looked like ants.

    Weather permitting, we will go for cycling this weekend.

    Jennifer Lopez looks young considering her age.

    Thank you!
