Model answer
I’ve lost a few things over the years. Sometimes they’ve found their way back to me, and sometimes they’ve disappeared forever.
I’ve lost my wallet a couple of times, and unfortunately never got it back, but the most stressful was when I lost my phone.
I
do everything with phone and without it I feel lost. Whether it’s doing
my banking or talking to friends, most of the time I’ll reach for my
phone instead of my laptop.
There was one day I was taking a taxi home and had a lot on my mind. I was lost in thought and wasn’t really paying attention when the taxi dropped me off at home. I got out, paid the driver, and didn’t really notice that my phone was laying on the back seat.
The
cab drove off and I unlocked the door to my apartment. It took me quite
a few minutes to notice that something was missing — my phone of all things.
I flew into
a panic because I didn’t know how to contact the driver or even which
taxi company it was that had taken me home. I imagined the driver
wouldn’t have known who the phone belonged to either.
I
had a spark of inspiration and realized I could call it from my laptop.
I rang my own number over and over. Maybe another passenger or the
driver noticed, but after several attempts the driver answered. I
explained what had happened, and asked if they would be kind enough to bring it back to me.
I
gave them my address and had some money prepared for when they arrived.
I felt relieved and beyond lucky that I was going to get my phone back.
I heard a knock on the door — it was the taxi driver with my phone in his hand. I was smiling ear to ear and offered him some money. He shook his head and refused, but instead wished me a good night as he passed me my phone.
