Sample Answer
In today's technologically sophisticated society, smartphones have become indispensable. For
various reasons, people are hooked on their smartphones. It's unimaginable to think about our
life without a smartphone. The incident occurred around a year ago during my semester exams
when I unintentionally happened to take my mobile phone to the exam hall and had to deal with
its consequences. It was a Monday morning, and I reached the exam hall earlier than usual. So, I
decided to revise the questions. As some of my notes were saved on my mobile phone, I opened
the PDFs and prepared for the exam. A few moments later, the bell rang, so all the students,
including me, stood in the queue to verify documents and check other items. When it was my
turn, the examiner discovered a mobile phone in my pocket, which stunned me. I realized that I
had unknowingly put the mobile phone in my pocket, just like I used to put other times. Everyone
in the hall looked at me as if I'd committed an offense. Later, I apologized and explained the
reason to the examiner. Although he believed my justification, he punished me by giving me just
an hour to complete the exam while others got 2 hours to complete the exam. According to the
university instructions, it is not permissible to carry any electronic devices to the exam hall. Even
the exam invigilators would have to turn off their mobile phones. Despite the fact that I did not
take the cell phone to the exam hall on purpose, I felt extremely embarrassed and guilty about
it.
