📘 English Story
“The Lost Passport”✈️

Sara was a student from Iran. Last September, she travelled to London to study English for one month. It was her first trip alone, and she was very excited.

At Heathrow Airport, she got off the plane and followed the signs to passport control. There was a long queue. Sara opened her backpack to get her passport, but it was not there.

She checked every pocket. She looked in her jacket and in her small bag. Nothing. Her heart started to beat fast. “Oh no,” she said. “Where is my passport?”

A woman behind her noticed the problem. “Are you all right?” she asked. “My name is Lucy. Can I help you?” “I think I lost my passport,” Sara said. “I had it on the plane.”

“Don’t worry,” Lucy said. “Let’s find someone from the airport.” They walked to a desk near the queue. A tall man in a blue uniform looked up and smiled.

“Good morning. I’m Mr Evans. How can I help you?” Sara took a deep breath. “Excuse me, sir. I’m afraid I’ve lost my passport. Could you help me, please?”

“Of course,” he said. “First, stay calm. Which flight were you on?” “Flight 214 from Istanbul,” Sara answered. “And when did you last see your passport?”

Sara thought for a moment. “I used it when I got on the plane. Then I put it in the pocket of the seat, because I wanted to read my book.”

Mr Evans picked up the phone and called the cabin crew. Sara waited. Ten minutes felt like an hour. Lucy stayed with her and told her about her own first trip to Spain, when she lost her suitcase.

Then the phone rang. Mr Evans listened and nodded. “Good news,” he said. “A flight attendant found a passport in seat 18C. Is that your seat?” “Yes!” Sara said. “Thank you so much!”

A few minutes later, a flight attendant arrived with a small red passport. Mr Evans checked the name and the photo. “Here you are, Miss Ahmadi. Please keep it in a safe place.”

Sara thanked him and turned to Lucy. “I don’t know what to say. You were very kind.” Lucy laughed. “Everyone needs help sometimes. Enjoy London!”

Sara went back to the queue. This time, she held her passport with both hands. When the officer asked, “What is the purpose of your visit?”, she smiled and said, “I’m here to study English, and I’ve just had my first real lesson.”
