1. 0:00Hi everyone, I’m Mia.
2. 0:02Today, I want to tell a small but stressful story
3. 0:06about the day I lost my bank card.
4. 0:10It happened on a normal weekday.
5. 0:13That morning, I left home a little late
6. 0:16because I spent too much time looking for my keys.
7. 0:19I put my phone, wallet, and earphones into my bag,
8. 0:24then hurried to the bus stop.
9. 0:26I remember feeling calm after I got on the bus.
10. 0:30Nothing seemed strange at all.
11. 0:33During my lunch break,
12. 0:35I went to a small café near my office.
13. 0:38I ordered a sandwich and a bottle of water.
14. 0:42When the cashier told me the price,
15. 0:44I opened my wallet and reached for my bank card.
16. 0:48But the card was not there.
17. 0:51At first,
18. 0:52I thought it was just hiding behind some receipts.
19. 0:55I took out my ID card, a few coins,
20. 0:58an old ticket, and two coffee cards.
21. 1:02Still, I couldn't find it.
22. 1:04I checked the small pocket inside my bag.
23. 1:08I checked my coat pocket.
24. 1:10I even checked the bottom of my bag,
25. 1:12where small things often disappear.
26. 1:15The card was gone.
27. 1:18I felt embarrassed
28. 1:19because there were two people waiting behind me.
29. 1:22I smiled awkwardly and said I needed a minute.
30. 1:26Luckily, I had a little cash,
31. 1:28so I paid for my food
32. 1:29and sat at a table near the window.
33. 1:32I couldn't really enjoy my lunch.
34. 1:35My mind kept going back to the card.
35. 1:38I tried to remember the last time I used it.
36. 1:41The night before, I bought some groceries after work.
37. 1:45I paid by card at the supermarket,
38. 1:47then walked home.
39. 1:49Maybe I left the card at the card reader.
40. 1:52Maybe it fell out when I took my phone from my bag.
41. 1:55I was not sure.
42. 1:58I opened my banking app and checked the recent payments.
43. 2:02There was only one payment from the supermarket.
44. 2:05I didn't see anything strange,
45. 2:07but I still felt nervous.
46. 2:09I found the button to freeze the card
47. 2:12and tapped it right away.
48. 2:13After that, I felt a little safer.
49. 2:17Then I called the bank.
50. 2:19The hold music played for a few minutes,
51. 2:21and I walked outside because the café was noisy.
52. 2:25When a staff member answered,
53. 2:27I explained that I had lost my card.
54. 2:30She asked a few questions to check my identity.
55. 2:34She also told me that
56. 2:35freezing the card was the right first step.
57. 2:38After checking my account,
58. 2:40she said there were no unknown payments.
59. 2:43I decided to cancel the old card and request a new one.
60. 2:47The new card would arrive in about one week.
61. 2:50Until then,
62. 2:51I could still use the banking app and withdraw money
63. 2:54using a different method if I needed to.
64. 2:57That made the situation less scary.
65. 3:01After work, I went back to the supermarket
66. 3:04and asked the staff if they had found a card.
67. 3:07They checked a small box near the service counter,
68. 3:10but my card was not there.
69. 3:13I also walked slowly
70. 3:14along the route I took the night before.
71. 3:17Of course, I didn't find anything,
72. 3:19but at least I tried.
73. 3:22That evening,
74. 3:23I removed the old card from my food delivery app
75. 3:26and a few online shops.
76. 3:28It was a bit annoying,
77. 3:30but it only took about twenty minutes.
78. 3:33I also put a small amount of cash
79. 3:35in a separate pocket of my bag,
80. 3:37just in case.
81. 3:39Losing a bank card was not a huge disaster,
82. 3:43but it made my whole day feel messy.
83. 3:45I was glad I noticed it before anything bad happened.
84. 3:49Now, whenever I pay for something,
85. 3:51I wait a few extra seconds
86. 3:53and put my card back in the same place.
87. 3:56It is a small habit,
88. 3:58but it helps me feel more organized.
89. 4:12A cashier is a person who takes money from customers in a store, café, or supermarket.
90. 4:20The cashier told Mia the price of the sandwich and water.
91. 4:33To reach for something means to move your hand toward something because you want to take it.
92. 4:41Mia reached for her bank card, but it was not in her wallet.
93. 4:53If someone does something awkwardly, they do it in a shy, uncomfortable, or unnatural way.
94. 5:02Mia smiled awkwardly because two people were waiting behind her.
95. 5:16To freeze the card means to stop a bank card from being used for a short time, usually because it is lost or stolen.
96. 5:27Mia opened her banking app to freeze the card quickly.
97. 5:40Hold music is music that people hear on the phone while they are waiting to speak to someone.
98. 5:48Mia listened to hold music while she waited for the bank staff to answer.
99. 6:02Identity is who a person is, often shown by their name, ID card, birthday, or other personal information.
100. 6:14The bank asked Mia some questions to check her identity.
101. 6:27To withdraw means to take money out of a bank account.
102. 6:32Mia could not withdraw money because her bank card was missing.
103. 6:44A route is the way from one place to another place.
104. 6:50Mia checked the bus route before she left home.
105. 7:01It happened on a normal weekday.
106. 7:11That morning, I left home a little late
107. 7:22because I spent too much time looking for my keys.
108. 7:36I put my phone, wallet, and earphones into my bag,
109. 7:53then hurried to the bus stop.

115. 9:02I opened my wallet and reached for my bank card.
