Sample Answer
problems. Before becoming lost between two roads, I had comfortably finished the first half of the distance. I used Google Maps to help me escape the situation, and it directed me to a mysterious location where I could not see anyone. I was quite terrified and regretted choosing to travel alone.
Fortunately, I came upon a police officer, who assisted me in getting out of the sticky situation. The cop was incredibly polite and generous, and he made sure to deliver me to my destination securely. On that day, I discovered two extremely important lessons: first, one should not always rely on technology, and second, one should be well informed on the routes being travelled.
