If you were on holiday and you lost your passport

If you were on holiday and you lost your passport, would you know what to do?

I think that if I lose my passport when I am abroad, I should try to find the ambassy of my country.
If I can´t go to the ambassy, because the embassy is far for instance, I should try to phone to the ambassy. If the embassy is not available, I should contact the police of the country I visit.

I think that if I lose my passport when I am abroad, I should try to find the ambassy of my country.

"That" as a conjunction is generally optional in English, so you could also omit it here. At times, that might sound more natural.

If I can´t go to the ambassy, because the embassy is far for instance, I should try to phone to the ambassy.


If I can´'t go to the aembassy, because the embassy is far for instance, I should try to phone to the aembassy. If I can't go to the embassy, because the embassy is far for instance, I should try to phone the embassy.

Unlike the French "téléphoner", "phone" takes a direct object.

If the embassy is not available, I should contact the police of the country I visit.
