Well, I am someone who always takes great care of my belongings. However, last year I had a very disheartening experience when I lost something incredibly valuable, which was my mobile phone. I went to shopping with my elder sister in the evening and after buying some clothes from a shopping mall, we went to a jewelry shop to place an order for a gold ring. While I was showing the shopkeeper some gold ring designs, a sudden earthquake occurred. In the chaos, everyone rushed out of the shop on two streets and somehow I lost my mobile phone. Everyone was shocked and surprised by this unexpected incident. After some time, I realized that my phone was no longer in my hand. I seriously searched my bag and also returned to the shop to look for it, but I couldn’t find it anymore. I felt deeply sad and disappointed to lose something precious. This incident taught me an important lesson to be more cautious and about my belongings in the future. Thank you for watching!
