Travel problems

Sample answer:

Traveling can be full of trouble sometimes, especially if you don't speak the language. One time, when I was traveling in a foreign country, I was cheated out of some money because I couldn't understand what the shopkeeper said. There was a line behind me, so I felt rushed.  I also wasn't very good at counting out their money—it was really different from ours. There wasn't anything at the register that showed how much I owed, so I handed him a big bill, hoping it would be enough. He gave me some change and I left. Later, when I had some time to look more closely, I could see that I'd paid more than I should have. 

Most of the time, people are very kind and helpful when I travel. This was a rare time when I was taken advantage of. It made me be more careful to at least learn how to count the money when I go abroad!
