Sample Answers

Have you ever gotten lost? Actually, I got lost once when I was traveling alone in a foreign country. I was trying to find my way to a famous landmark, but I took a wrong turn and ended up in a completely different part of town. It was a bit scary, but I managed to ask for help and find my way back. I learned that it's always a good idea to carry a map or a GPS device when traveling to unfamiliar places.

What can you do to find your way when you’re lost? Well, I think the first thing to do is to stay calm and think clearly. Then, I would try to find a landmark or a familiar place to get my bearings. If I have a map or a GPS device, I would use that to get directions. If not, I would ask for help from locals or police officers. I've also learned that it's a good idea to carry a portable charger for your phone, so you can use it to navigate even when you're running low on battery.

Do you look at a map when you’re lost? Absolutely, I always try to carry a map with me, especially when I'm traveling to a new place. I find it really helpful to have a physical map, as well as a digital one on my phone. Sometimes, when you're lost, you don't have access to Wi-Fi or data, so a physical map can be a lifesaver. Plus, it's always good to have a backup plan, just in case your phone runs out of battery.

Have you ever helped someone who was lost? Yes, I have helped someone who was lost. It was a tourist who was trying to find her way to a popular restaurant. She was clearly frustrated and worried, so I offered to help her. I pulled out my phone and used the GPS to give her directions. She was really grateful, and it made me feel good to be able to assist someone in need. It's always nice to know that even small acts of kindness can make a big difference in someone's day.
