Could you correct this paragraph please?

Hi teachers,
Could you correct this paragraph please?
The person is in the station bar buying some drinks.
Robert: Oh my God!! The train is leaving the station! My bag and my jacket are on the train and my train ticket is in my jacket pocket. I have got little money in my pants pocket, and where amI?

Thanks in advance

Sorry, I am not a native speaker, but what are you using "where am I" in this context for? I think it doesn't make sense...

I've got almost no money on me, and I don't even know where I am!

(What kind of person leaves their bag and jacket unattended on a train? A very trusting one, I guess.)

I wondered that, too, englishhobby.

He just needs to look at the station name-board.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply. The thing is that he is traveling with two more people, in fact two girls. The girls were thirsty and there wasn't a snack car on that train. So he went off the train to buy them a couple of drinks. That's why he left his jacket and bag on the train.
What kind of person leaves their (shouldn't it be 'his') bag and jacket unattended on a train?

Hi,
Thank you for you reply.

Just to be a little bit funny. The character of the story is quite calamitous. That's why.

Best,

'Their' is commonly used these days in sentences such as this.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply. I really didn't know it. It doesn't make sense to me.

These days we frequently use 'they'/'them'/'their' in preference to 'he or she'/'him or her'/his or her'. This was once considered sub-standard, but is now becoming more and more accepted. Indeed, the idea of using 'they' to refer to one person is now so common, that the emphtic/reflexive pronoun 'themself' is appearing.
