Actually, I used my smartphone for a variety of important purposes, but today I would like to talk about an incident where my father really helped me. It was about a year ago when I wasted touchcant with my friend as it was the first time in my life. When we arrived at the hotel, all my friend immediately fell asleep. Feeling bored, I decided to explore the city on my own. After wandering around the streets of touchcant for an hour, I wanted to go back to the hotel. However, I found myself lost in a crowded area with no clue how to return. As at the moment, I felt panicked and started wandering aimlessly from street to street, but I still could not find my way in my panicked only group. I tried to save a shoot and quickly remembered Google Maps, which my uncle had advised me to use if I ever get lost. I immediately downloaded the app onto my smartphone and entered the name of my hotel, which I had checked earlier. Fortunately, the app showed me the nearest road because I felt a little tired as I walked good at least an hour from place to place. And the app helped me navigate the streets to get back to my hotel. When I finally reached the hotel, I was overjoyed and decided to take a cool shower to call on my down. As a final point, getting lost is not a pleasant experience, especially in a city when I was a total stranger that day my smartphone saved me and I was truly grateful to have it.
