Start an essay with ' if I only listen....


            If I only listen to my parents it would never became like this. I really regretted. My parents had warned me never to take that particular route because they had seen too many strange-looking men in that area. It was a shorter route to my tuition center. The route stretched for about a hundred meters and was lined with trees.
            One afternoon, after my tuition class, I decided to walk through the area. I told myself that I would be careful and at the first sign of danger, I would run. I wandered in and was happy to see no one in sight. All I saw were a few stray cats and dogs.
            When I was halfway, I felt as if someone was watching me. The youths were rather big-sized, wore jeans and jackets. I was afraid but there was nothing I could do except to keep walking. As I reached the group of youths, they suddenly moved and surrounded me. “Do you have any money?” said a voice. Before I could replay, I felt a hand grabbing my wallet.
            I turned round and saw a boy taking all the money out of my wallet. Then, he threw the wallet down. As I bent to pick it up, someone kicked me. I fell. Then, all of them started to kick me. I screamed and yelled as loudly as I could.
            Suddenly, the boys started running in different directions. I was surprised. I looked up and saw a policeman running towards me. The policeman took me to the police station and called my parents. My parents were furious with me for not listen to their advice and putting myself in danger. Indeed, it had been a painful experience. I never went that way again.
