Borrowing/lending

3. Have you ever borrowed money from others?

答案:

Yes, I have borrowed money on a few occasions, usually from family or close friends. I remember once needing some cash for an unexpected expense. I felt a bit embarrassed asking, but my brother was really understanding. I always make sure to pay it back promptly, as it’s important to maintain that trust.
