Describe an experience when you received a call from someone you don’t know in the public place You should say:

When you received this call Where you received this call What you were doing at that time What the call was about

And explain how you felt about the call

幾周前的一個周日，我和朋友在咖啡館的時候，我接到了一個陌生人的電話。那是一個出租車司機的電 話，當天早些時間我在出租車上掉了錢包。雖然我一般不喜歡接陌生來電或是在公共場合打電話，那一天 我很幸運接到那個電話，可以找回錢包，因為錢包里有很多證件。

I usually prefer to talk to people in quiet and convenient places. And I have also had some annoying experiences of hearing people around me chatting for a long time, but I recently had a time in which I had to make a call in a public place and I was thrilled to receive the call. A few weeks ago, on a Sunday, I took a taxi to pick up my friend. I took my wallet out to check for something and probably just conveniently left it on the seat. When I got out of the taxi, I was in such a hurry (很匆 忙) that I didn’t check everything. I didn’t even realize I had forgotten the wallet until I was in the café with my friend later that day. I had the taxi receipt with me so I immediately called the company to see if they could reach out (聯(lián)系) to the taxi driver. Usually, I don’t pick up phone calls with unknown number, you know how most of those calls are cold calling companies. That day, I was anxiously looking at my phone all the time in case I missed any. After around 20 minutes, I got this phone call with unknown number. I picked it up immediately. That was the call from the taxi driver telling me he has my wallet. I nearly cried out, cause I have all my important IDs and cards inside it. I moved to a corner table so that I wouldn’t disturb people sitting near us. He checked some information with me and told me he would meet me downtown later. I was lucky to get this

phone call that day and finally get my wallet back as it saved me a ton of hassle (很多麻煩). Still, I

think it is important to follow simple rules of cell phone etiquette (電話禮儀) in public.
