My Answer :

Last Sunday, I spent time with my family at a shopping mall. My family and I were having dinner at a restaurant. Suddenly, I saw a girl crying. I went to her and asked her what happened. She told me that she was separated from her family after they went out of the King 25 Restaurant.

            I comforted her and took the girl to the customer service counter. They made an announcement of the lost child. After a few minutes, her parents dashed toward us and hugged the little girl and they were both crying. Her parents kept on thanking me for helping them. I felt relieved to know that the girl had found her parents.

            Such incident can be avoided by dressing your child in bright colour for easy recognition. Secondly, share your cell phone number to your child in case of emergency. Lastly, parents need to stay alert at all time.

                                                                                                                                                                      

Sample answer :

Last Sunday, I was spending time with my family at Amcorp Mall when I suddenly saw a girl crying. She was separated from her family. We decided to comfort the girl and took her to the Customer Information Centre. The officer in charge made an announcement of the lost child. 10 minutes later, her family came and took her home.

Such incident can be avoided by dressing your child in bright coloured outfits for easy recognition. Children with bright coloured outfit will be easily spotted in a crowd. Secondly, parents must share their contact details with their children in case of emergency. They may place the contact details inside the children’s pockets or write on their hand palm. Lastly, parents should be on alert at all times when they take their children out. Do not let children wander inside the shopping mall alone. Parental supervision is vital in keeping the children safe.
