Just as I began the conclusion of my English paper，the entire building was plunged into silent darkness.I was dismayed at the thought of having to wait until the following day to see the print out.Then the tutor told me the bad news：I had lost the entire essay just because I failed to click the save button one minute earlier when the electricity went of my draft no longer existed.With poise and grace，I felt my way to the exit.
