Question
Describe an experience of losing something you have.
Sample answer
Thank you very much for the opportunity you gave me to talk about my experience of losing something. In my preparation time for the given topic I thought about many occasions when I lost something and finally I decided to talk about the experience I had when I lost my University ID card. In fact, I had to go through a series of events because I lost this ID card and probably that’s why I have remembered this event very clearly.
I lost my ID card when I was in the 4th semester in my university. I remember putting the ID card in my pocket while leaving home and to reach the University. I took a public bus and then a shared taxi on my way and I don’t know exactly where I lost it but noticed it while entering the library of my University where every student is advised to show his/her ID card. That’s the first time I noticed that the ID card is no longer is in my possession and I searched every possible place of my dress, bag and even in the classroom. But to my dismay, I could not find it anywhere.
This ID card was pretty important to me as it was required to enter the University building, library or even in exam rooms and labs. This was the only valid form of Identification Card that I had at that time to show anyone in case I needed to. Let’s say, if there is an emergency check post on the road, and the police men ask me to show my identity, that was the only piece of valid Identification proof for me. So losing it was a disaster to me at that time.
I felt pretty bad and was blaming myself for being such a careless person. I wrote an application to the University authority and they suggested me to make a General Diary to the nearest police station. I had to submit several applications and had to publish lost item news in the newspaper before I was issued another ID card after almost fifteen days. In the meanwhile I had to face lots of problems and had to submit several applications that made me remember this event pretty vividly.
