Part 1

Borrowing/lending

1. How do you feel when people don't return things they borrowed from you?

答案:

When people fail to return things they borrowed, I often feel a bit frustrated. It's not just about the item; it's more about the trust and respect. For instance, I lent a book to a friend, and when I didn't get it back, I felt disappointed. It’s important to communicate and keep those boundaries clear!


助记: fail, frustrated, trust, respect, disappointed, communicate, boundaries


翻译:

当人们未能归还他们借的东西时,我常常感到有点沮丧。这不仅仅是关于物品;更重要的是信任尊重。例如,我把一本书借给了朋友,当我没能拿回来时,我感到失望。沟通和保持这些界限是很重要的!
