You are an international student and have borrowed a book from the local public library. You left the book on a bus and when you contacted the bus company, they could not find it. Write a letter to the librarian explaining the situation and asking what you should do.
- You should write at least 150 words.
- You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.
Sample answer:
Last week I borrowed an English grammar book, “English Grammar Exercises” from your library to help me improve my knowledge of English. It was extremely useful, so when I went to visit a friend I took the book with me to show her how good it was.
Unfortunately, when I was on the bus going home, I fell asleep and missed my bus stop. I woke up at the next stop and rushed forward to the driver to ask him to stop but forgot to bring the book. As a result, the book was left on the bus. When I rang the bus company the next day, they could not find it and suggested that somebody must have picked it up.
Could you please let me know what I have to do now? As I am an international student I do not have very much money, but of course I will pay for a new copy of the book if this is necessary.
Yours faithfully
