Aged 18, I ___ a job in the offices of a TV company. There was a boy working upstairs who seemed very cool and sophisticated because he got to meet all the stars. All the girls in the office used to try to ___ him up whenever he paid a ___ to our department. Then one day, ___ unexpectedly, he invited me to a big charity dinner at an expensive hotel. I was so excited and ___ spending a fortune on a new dress, shoes and hairstyle. As we walked into the hotel, cameras were flashing and I felt like a real celebrity. We went up a long, wide flight of stairs, just like in a ___ from the movies. But as we ___ the top, one of my new leather-soled shoes slipped on the red carpet. I fell backwards and went head over ___ down the stairs, landing in a heap at the bottom. I was unhurt but ___ shaken and extremely embarrassed.
