.Borrowing and lending

?Have you ever borrowed books from others

Yes, I have. Actually, my friends and I often have a book exchange. I see it as a waste of money to buy every book you want to read, so it’s very effective to do this. I always look forward to the books I’ll get from them.

?Have you ever borrowed money from others

Oh, who hasn’t? It isn’t something I enjoy doing, but something that has been necessary at certain points. For example, one time my washing machine and oven broke simultaneously, so I asked my father if he could lend me some money to get a new one. I, of course, paid him back as soon as I could.

?Do you like to lend things to others

I would say so. To be honest, I’m always skeptical when I lend money to people because I’m afraid they won’t pay me back, but I do it for family members and friends when they need it anyway. Fortunately, I have friends and family that will willingly do the same for me.

?How do you feel when people don’t return things they borrowed from you

Upset, of course. I am a person of my word, so I feel upset when others aren’t. I haven’t been very irritated several times when people, especially my little sister, has borrowed something from me and lost or damaged it. However, if it wasn’t something very valuable, I try to remember that it isn’t the end of the world.
