Describe an occasion when you lost something in a public place.

What you lost
When and where you lost this thing
What you did to try and find it
And explain how you felt about losing this thing in a public place

I remember one time when I lost my keys at a shopping mall. It was a busy Saturday afternoon, and I had just finished shopping. When I got home, I realized my keys were missing. I was really worried because my keys had my dormitory and cabinets keys on them.

I retraced my steps and went back to the mall. I checked the places I had been, like the store I was shopping in and the coffee shop I had stopped at. I even asked the staff if they had found any keys, but unfortunately, no one had turned them in. I felt really frustrated and anxious, thinking about how I was going to get home and into my house.

In the end, I had to call my mom to get the door opened and then went to a hardware store to get new keys made. This experience taught me to be more careful with my belongings, especially in crowded places. I also started using a keychain with a tracker, so I don't lose them again.

Describe a time when you used a phone to do something important

When and where you used the phone
What you used the phone for
Why it was important to do this
And explain what happened as a result of using the phone

I'm a college student, and there was one time when my phone really made a difference. It was during the middle of the semester, and I had an important group project in a few days. One of my group members was sick and couldn't come to campus, but we still needed to discuss our progress and allocate the tasks.

I used my phone to set up a video call with the whole group. We were able to talk through our plans, assign tasks, and make sure everyone was on the same page. It was important because it kept our project on track, even though one of us couldn't be there in person.

As a result, we finished the project on time and got a good grade. My phone helped us stay connected and work together smoothly, even when we couldn't meet face-to-face.

Describe a long walk that you enjoyed.

I recently had a wonderful long walk around West Lake in Hangzhou. It was a spring afternoon, and the weather was perfect—warm and sunny. I went with my roommate, and we decided to explore the lake on foot.

As we walked along the lakeside, we saw beautiful scenery everywhere. The water was so clear, and there were fragrant flowers and trees swaying gently in the breeze. We passed by famous spots like the Broken Bridge, and even climbed up to the Leifeng Tower for a broad view of the lake.

This long walk was truly enjoyable because it let me appreciate the beauty of nature and spend quality time with my friends. It was a perfect way to relax and create lasting memories.

This story is about humanity's efforts to move the Earth out of its orbit to avoid destruction as the sun expands, highlighting themes of bravery, unity, and sacrifice.

I remember this story well because it was incredibly inspiring and thought-provoking. It made me reflect on the importance of global cooperation and the power of collective effort in overcoming seemingly insurmountable challenges. The themes of family and community also resonated deeply with me, making it a truly memorable tale.

OHER：

Introduction:
Today, I want to talk about my dorm neighbor, who is a really interesting person. He majors in automation,

laboratory，unrealistic ideas

his worldview is quite different from most people's. He always brings a fresh perspective to problem-solving, which is both surprising and inspiring.

Most importantly, he has a strong ability to take action and a creative mindset.

One of the things that I find most intriguing about him is his unique way of looking at the world. For example, he once told me that he sees problems as opportunities to innovate, rather than obstacles.

But what truly makes him apart is his ability to not just talk about ideas, but actually put them into action. For instance, he once developed an AI-powered plush toy designed to help children learn English through casual conversations. It was a brilliant idea, and he actually built a prototype and tested it with kids. The toy used voice recognition and interactive storytelling to engage children, making learning fun and effective. It was amazing to see how he could turn a simple idea into something tangible and useful.

How he influences me:
I often learn from him, and his approach to life has had a big impact on me. He encourages me to think outside the box and not be afraid to try new things. Whenever I face a problem, I remind myself to look at it from different angles, just like he does. His creativity and willingness to take action inspire me to be more proactive in my own studies and projects. He's not just a roommate; he's a great friend and mentor.
