Subject: Lost Item at Youth Hostel Dear Sir/Madam,
My name is Alex Johnson. I recently stayed at your youth hostel with my class. During the trip, I lost my precious silver necklace with a heart-shaped pendant. It happened in the common room.
Could you please check if it was found? If it is found, could you kindly email me back or keep it at the reception? Thank you very much for your help. Best regards,
Stacey Johnson

Part 2

One day last year, everything went wrong. It was a Monday morning, and I was with my classmates on a school trip to the museum. First, I missed the bus and had to walk. Then, I tripped and broke my phone. Later, I spilled juice on my shirt, which was very embarrassing. At lunch, I lost my wallet. My friends tried to help, but we couldn't find it. By the end of the day, I was heart-broken and exhausted. We laughed about it later, but it was a terrible day.
