Polished transcript:

Male Female

I'm a person who loses items often, and I want to talk about an item that is important to me. In general, I always lose my things, and last week I lost my wallet. At first, I didn't panic because I started to search for it with my mom. We thought it might be at home, but we searched high and low, and the search was not successful. I realized I had lost my wallet. This wallet was important to me because my grandfather gave it to me on my birthday two years ago. It also contained my bank cards, my university ticket, and $50 or $60. I believe I lost it in the supermarket because when I was coming home, I first entered the supermarket and bought something. I think I left my wallet there, and then I went back and found it.
