Polished transcript:

Male Female

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 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 onto the 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 searched my bag thoroughly 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 about my belongings in the future. Thank you for watching!
