Writing Task 2 On Lending Money to a Common Friend
2008-01-02 14:36:04 / 天气: 晴朗 / 心情: intricate / 精华(3) / 置顶(3) / 个人分类：writing task
I decided to change the writing topics of task#2,3,4 and 5 to make them more interesting to discuss since I have a new found, that is, after you, my students ,help my blog appear on the homepage of Englishcn Space which I really unexpected. An idea comes up to my mind: why not invite anyone who is interested to join us discussing. A good idea!
And to Jenny, you are such a good student who submitted your writing tasks always on time. I saw your article on topic 2"describing a person" which I decide to delete now... Anyway, if you like to participate discussing the new topic about "Lending money to your friends\", just go ahead. If you don't want to, your former article still counts.
------Okay, now, the new topic "On lending money to a common friend"
I had a hard time these days because it seems I have to tell a lie to turn down a friend's another request of borrowing 1,000Rmb from me.
In fact, he owes me 3,000Rmb already, which he lent from me in August, 2006. And he once disappeared in my life for last 5 months.I couldn't reach him by any means.
But lying is a big headache for me.I can never tell a tactful lie, even for a white one.
I just considered him as my friend, you know, the definition for friend can be various.But my husband and other family members are all against my lending moeny again to him, because they don't believe his quality of being a good man.
So, if you were in my shoes, what should you do?
1. trust him as usual, for everyone needs help when in trouble; or
2. tell a lie to refuse him;
3. if refuse, what lie seems less hurt and...tactful
Requirement:
1. no word limitation
2. Deadline: 13, Jan, 2008

I think everyone will encounter difficulties. When others have difficulties need money, we should lend him. After all, we will have a difficult time, if at that time you are in need of money, then the others will also help you, lend you money. Between friends should help each other, not always want their own interests!

- I tell you,when somebody borrows money from you again.That person is your friend.If he borrow one hundred RMB from you,you give he three hundred RMB and tell him the money don't need you give me again.You see,you lost three hundreds RMB,but later he will never borrow money from you.I think this good idea.Because I don't want to tell him you have not paid me the money you owe me.Do you think so?

If my best friend borrow me some money,I will lend to him if i have enough,eventhough i don't have enough,i will try my best to help him.Because i know him well and know his character,he must have some important things
i trust him.
If my common friend borrow money from me.I'll see about it.If it's a small numeral,i will lend to him.If he doesn't pay back,i will not lend to him next time.Because i don't trust him again.It's not real friendship.I don't like this kind of friend!
This is my opinion of lending money to my friend.It depends on circumstances.

First.I will belive he or she ! Because I thought to be a person , everyone have many problems!When we can't solve them, The first ideal in our mind is ask my friend for help!
When my friend ask me for help, I will do my best to help he or she ! Because we are friend !
At least when he have problem he can remember me !
This is our being honored !
So my point of view is belive he !
But you said your friend not turn back your money ! I think he has some big problems and must do ! But this problem come very fast , he can't tell everyone what he will going to do !
If I'm your shoes I will refuse him no matter everthings!I am GREEN!

whenever I talk about money with my friends,they must said:don't speak money,It is bad for our friendly.I think so, too. So I have never think over the question of lent money. And when my friends ask me to lent money,If I have,I will lent them,but not every friends,must play wtih me very well.
And , if I was in your shoes,this friend need money,may be I will help him.But he must restore me when I have trouble.if he is agood friend,he can understand me and give back the money.If he doesn't,and tell lies.I think we aren't friends in the future.becase I helped him when he had trouble.when I need help,he can't help me ,I will angry. So,if you want to lent money to other,you must know he is a good friend.

I am Edsion.
As we all know if you feel happy you may share it with you friend ,if something make you sorrow you also need a friend to help you get rid of it .So in our daily life ,what a friend to us is like fish to water .But if one of your friends wants to borrow some money for you what will you do?
Someone who are very generous will say “we are friend ,my friend’s problem is mine.”And they will lend the money to their friend .Even though they don’t have enough money ,they will try their best to get the money ready .And they don’t care about anything.
Someone who are cautious about everything will say “although we are friend ,my money is my own..”They will think if I lend the money .He get away or refuse to pay for it .How can I get my money ?So they find a wealth of excuses to explain they can’t lend the money.
In my opinion ,we should take this thing seriously .If he is a friend who through thick and thin with me .I will lend the money and help him without rewarding .If he is a friend who only like sharing my happiness and if I subject with some stress he always stand out ,no wander I could’t lend him the money.

IM (2D) POLLY
As for borrow money this problem, I have impression deeply. I meet a friend, we know 15 years ago, our relation is very good, I lent him money twice. It is 2000RMB in all. This affair lasted for half a year. I am very anxious but I am powerless.
A borrowed the money again from me week ago. I didn’t lend him money. Because I lose the trust to him. I am not very happy
Although the friendship of the friend's can't measure with the money. But the full brother is clear to do accounts.
As for the prestige is very important for a person. If this person has no prestige, so he lost trust in the friend's heart. His same will lose too many fine things. Example, friendship... …If your friend is a person who pays attention to prestige very much, so he ignores to meet what kind of problem, borrow toward us how much we all would make an effort of help him, because he is worthy of we believe him!

I do not think that should be lending money to him. This is not. Their own things they should give it back to me, only in this way can keep their job. Not borrow money on is not friends, not with him politely. The world is like this. Hello to the people of his good on you, you bad people who have you not good to him. If a person is not even credit stresses that this person is not qualified to be your friend, the wrong debt drive a hard bargain, unalterable. Life is the most basic principle.

- If I borrow money from friends to find I will lend him, but you borrow money to him when you want to have the ability he returned to you! This is the reality of the number of people who opposes the change because the money so to friendship In order to, you have to think about this money you can use

Whether Be lending him money.I will ask him some affairs first, because I want to understand a circumstance to say again.
Ask him why lend these moneys?Use to do what?Lend those to all do before what to use?This time why all seem to disappear?But borrow money and use to do what this time?
See him use so many money exactly dry after asking a pure circumstance what, if is used for proper is beneficial is to help people or oneself proper use, I will lend to him.Was regarded as oneself to don't will also help him possibly.
If he these moneys used for the normal not, so I miss me to not necessarily lend to him, if he doesn't tell the reason that I spend money, I miss me to can't lend money to him, either.

I don't think friendship means anything about money.There is a true story of mine. Years ago a friend of mine wanted to borrow 3000 yuan from me,and she gave me some reasonable reasons on her family.From her bright eyes,I felt that she needed that sum most.As thinking about our friendship,I lent her the money.Few days later,she disappeared without any news for years.
Now I have been told that she lied to me about borrowing the money.I was very disappointed,not for the money,but the relationship between us.I always thank that she was my good friend,and we could rely on each other.Recently,she came into existence,and she wanted to borrow some money the second time.I didn't meet her requirement,at the same time,I didn't put that 3000 yuan which she hasn't give back to me forward,too.
I told her that I wanted to have true friendship,not only borrowing and lending money.I need true trust between two good friends.She doesn't put our friendship to the bottom of her heart as I do,so I must give up this relationship.

- Friends on the matter of money, there are two friends! A: In financial terms, the establishment of a friend, if there is no use value is no longer friends! The second is: do not have the money to do with a friend! I think that regardless of the best friends is not easy for him to borrow money, it will affect your image in the hearts of people! Some loans will be lost because friends! Also may become enemies and circumstances will occur! Not reluctant to resort to a friend money, but do not want to wound the feelings friends! Do you think more should not be used without the ability to, if borrowed, you should also think it will not, you should give him money! This is my views！

- There is a proverb: "lend money to friends, and easy to lose money and friends. I personally think that your friend to borrow the money。 If the amount of money to affect your friendship I think you should not lend him. If only negligible sum of money, I think that just as gift, not a debt.

On Lending Money to a Common Friend
I'm 3G BA ALLEN
Leading Money is the most injured feelings of the friends, but it is very common between friends. Therefore, we must to learn about our friends clearly before we lend him or her the money. If I have a friend who like teacher said, I think I should know what kind of people he is. If he is my real good friend, there must be some reasons that he don’t pay back my money. Maybe he hasn’t ability to pay back my money at the moment, if I feel it is true, I think he wll try his best to pay back to me later, I will wait him to return me the money. Of course, most of the times, our friends may be forget to pay back our money, so we must to remind them of it, to let them know, if he is my good friend, he will return the money at once. I believe it. But I feel how to say is very hard and important. He is your friend, you must be careful when you say to him. If I feel however I remind him, he don’t pay back my money, I don’t think he is an respectful people, I’m sure he is not my good friend! I will let him to return my money at once! And I won’t lend him money from now on. Teacher, I feel the people you said isn’t want to pay back your money, but we can give him some times. As to the money, I won’t lend him expect that he return me the money. Because I don’t believe him already.

About lending money, my view is should better not lend money to your closed friend. This possibly because the money will become estranged your best friend.
I think everyone will have this experience, a good friend lends your some money maybe It’s not a huge number. Sometimes your closed friend has forgotten the money back. But you embarrassed to tell your closed friend money back.
If you’re closed friend lends some money to you. Maybe 300RMB but you forgot the money back. I think it will be very bad. Because your friend will think you are not a good friend because you lends he’s money but you never money back. In fact you just forgot money back. Later your friend will estrange you. It’s so bad to you, you lends some money but your forgot the money back and the worst you lose your friend.
So do not easily lend your friend money, because it’s will influence your friendship.
