I had to forget my phone was few months ago when I came go for study group session at the cafe. It was the weekend before our in-league exam. So my friend and I planned to review grammar and practice speaking together. That morning I was a bit in a hurry because I woke up late so I grabbed my bag and rushed out of the house. It wasn’t until I arrived at the cafe I realized that I had left my phone at home. At first I think it couldn’t be a big deal but actually it’s cause a lot of trouble. I had saved all my study notes and practice test on that phone. I didn’t bring it to print out. Also I couldn’t contact anyone make me felt really disconnected. My friends helped me by sharing their material but I still felt unprepared and a little bit I’m embarrassed and disappointed. Forgot my phone is a small mistake but it remind me how important to do everything before leaving home especially when something special or important coming now.

So my friend and I planned to review grammar and practice speaking together. That morning I was a bit in a hurry because I woke up late, so I grabbed my bag and rushed out of the house. It wasn't until I arrived at the cafe that I realized I had left my phone at home. At first, I thought it couldn't be a big deal, but actually, it caused a lot of trouble. I had saved all my study notes and practice tests on that phone. I didn't bring them to print out. Also, I couldn't contact anyone, which made me feel really disconnected. My friends helped me by sharing their material, but I still felt unprepared and a little embarrassed and disappointed. Forgetting my phone was a small mistake, but it reminded me how important it is to do everything before leaving home, especially when something special or important is coming up.
