Sample Answer:
- In this fast-paced world, it is quite common for people to lose their belongings, especially while traveling.
- Here I would like to talk about a time when I lost my wallet while traveling on a bus.
- Actually, a couple of months back, I went to Amritsar with my friend to pay obeisance at Golden Temple.
- The next day, we boarded a bus to come back to our city Ludhiana.
- There was so much crowd everywhere because it was a Sunday.
- When I arrived home, I realized that I lost my wallet.
- I thoroughly checked in the bag as well as asked my friend, but I did not find it anywhere.
- I got a little worried because my wallet contained some cash, my driver’s license, an ATM card and my student ID.
- In order to secure my banking, I immediately called the bank customer care and blocked my ATM card.
- All my possessions were important to me because it was very risky to drive my bike without having my license.
- At the same time, I could not appear for my exams in the absence of my student ID, which was mandatory for all students to sit in exams.
- But, somehow I had to convince my teachers to allow me to sit in exams without my student ID card.
- I have to say I was very tense after losing my wallet and belongings.
- As I could not do anything, I tried to shift my focus to other things to forget about my loss.
- So, that was the precious thing that I recently lost.
