(Update 2025) IELTS Speaking Part 1 Topic Lost and Found Free

Well I’d first check if there’s any ID or contact info. If there is, I’ll call the owner right away. If not I drop it in a lost and found box. But you know, for valuable stuff like gadgets, I’d go straight to the police. It’s the safest option.

Well it depends, if it’s just a book or something I’d leave it at lost and found.
But if it’s expensive like a phone or wallet I definitely involve the police. It feels more responsible.

Oh plenty of times. Once in high school I lost my keys and got locked out of my house. It was so frustrating and my bike got stolen too, but luckily I managed to find it later.

Well again, it depends on the value. For small things I’d let it go, but if it’s something meaningful and expensive I’d post online and contact the police at the same time.

I’m gonna return the item to its rightful owner right away if the people lost his or
her belongings happen to be my acquaintances. And if I’m doing workout in the gym and find the Bluetooth earphones in the strength training area, I tend to give them to the receptionist or put up a lost and found notice trying to contact the owner

Yeah, if I find something that means a lot to people like a big cash or ID card, I’ll definitely report to the police because it’s much more reliable. You know, they can solve the problem in a professional way. If I turn to other people for help, personal information would be leaked which could be used by someone who has ulterior motives.

Yeah, I lost my notebook in my second year of university. I left it in the library before the exam season. How careless I was! I felt bad about it for some time because the notes were detailed and accurate.

I think I won’t because it’s personal and there is no need to make it public. Even if the thing I’ve lost is of sentimental value, no one is gonna strike a chord with me. On the other hand, if I plan to get it back, perhaps I’m gonna post the notice online, hoping to see miracles happen.
