EFL Reading Practice — Set 2 (Thailand)
Lost and Found at the BTS Station
Niran was taking the BTS to meet his friend after school. He checked his pocket and suddenly felt worried. His student card was missing. Without it, he could not enter the school library, and he also needed it for a discount.
He tried to remember what happened. On the train, he had bought a bottle of water and took out some coins. Maybe the card fell when he opened his wallet. Niran walked back to the ticket gate and asked a staff member, “Excuse me, I think I dropped my student card. Is there a lost and found?”
The staff member listened carefully and said, “Please wait here. I will check.” After a few minutes, she returned with a small card holder. “Is this yours?” she asked. Niran looked at the photo and smiled. “Yes, it is! Thank you so much.”
Before he left, the staff member reminded him to write his phone number on the back of the card holder. “If it happens again, it will be easier to return it,” she said. Niran thanked her again and felt relieved. He met his friend on time—and he learned a useful habit.
