When
I came to Calgary, I find it is a pretty nice city and also a safe city. For
example, people can put their bicycles beside streets without locking In
Calgary; however, in some cities in China, you won’t do that unless you want to
change a new one. I’m not quite sure whether Calgary is much safer than my
hometown, because I have been Calgary for 1 month only, and I don’t get deeply in
touch with the society of Calgary. In China, I have experienced several times
of being crimed. I hate being stolen and being defrauded; but in other words, I
pray that the con man who steal from me or defraud from me can live in a better
condition so that they will not steal or defraud. How can we stay safe? Maybe we
can’t arrest be stolen, but if we can calm down and make a consideration, we
will get out of being defrauded. Of course, I used to be kidding the con man.
One day, I received a message from one of my friends. It was said:”Hi, my friend,
I am in trouble now. I drove too fast and the traffic police caught me to a
police station. I’ve forgotten my wallet in my girlfriend’s house. Please send
me 1000 yuan as soon as possible. This is my card number…” At that very moment,
I felt suspicious of the message because the man who sent me text message is a
honest guy, and he had no cars, either or girlfriend. So I decided to call him,
but it didn’t answer. Eventually, I thought it was fishy, and I sent a message
to the con man:”I have sent 1000 yuan to your card, please pay attention to it.”
Finally, my friend, the honest guy told me that his mobile was lost that
afternoon.
Good use of vocabulary from the textbook! I'm glad to hear you didn't fall for the deception and lose any of your money.
