Last year I bought a pair of leather gloves and I really love them, but the other day I had a business trip to Nantong and I lost them, and forgot where I lost, after I left the train I called the train station and asked them if they found my gloves. They told me they didn’t find, so when I came back to Shanghai train station I went to the property office to check if they found my gloves, but they also said no. I felt a little sad because this gloves for me were a little expensive. I brought it in one of Longchamp’s shop, and when I bought them they just had half discount. I figured I could afford it so I bought them, and them spent me close to 8 hundred yuan. Until now I still feel a little unhappy because I like them and I think they are useful and necessary.
Last year I also lost my sunglasses and they were more expensive than my gloves but I didn’t feel sad like this time, because I thought my sunglasses were not very suitable for me, and after several days I bought a new one to replace them.
I guess if you really like one thing when you lose you will got unhappy as me.

After I left the train station I called and asked them if they found my gloves. They told me they didn’t find them, so when I came back to Shanghai train station I went to the ‘lost and found’ at the office to check if they found my gloves, but they also said no. I felt a little sad because these gloves were a little expensive for me. I bought them in one of Longchamp’s shops, and when I bought them they had a 50 percent discount. I figured I could afford it so I went for it, and they cost me close to eight hundred yuan. I still feel a little unhappy because I really like them and I think they are useful and necessary. They fit my hands perfectly, were really warm and had good quality soft leather.
