1. Amelie 6.28
When I was young, we went on holiday to Scotland and I left my teddy bear at a hotel. I got him back eventually, but the hotel had fifteen teddy bears in lost property, so I had to send a description of mine.
2. Erin 11.35
I came across this in a box of old photographs in our attic. I didn’t recognise myself at first, and I don’t remember this day because I was too young. But I think it’s a cute photo, so I got it framed.
3. Nam 9.54
My dad took me to Đà Lạt Flower Festival, where I found this wristband. It was an amazing experience I’ll never forget seeing many famous singers and artists there! We’re going again next December.
I’m really looking forward to it!
4. Dean 7.22
I was upset when I lost this watch ’cos it belonged to my grandad. Luckily, I found it last week, behind a cupboard. It’s really special because it reminds me of him.
(Tôi rất buồn khi đánh mất chiếc đồng hồ này vì nó thuộc về ông tôi. May mắn thay, tôi đã tìm thấy nó vào tuần trước, đằng sau tủ đựng chén. Nó thực sự đặc biệt vì nó làm tôi nhớ đến ông.)
5. Ichika 8.16
I got this when I was on holiday in Việt Nam. I don’t normally keep souvenirs, but I love this one. I often look back on that trip – it was awesome.

2. Who took Nam to the festival?
3. Where did Erin find the photo?
