2021年9-12月 雅思口语 Part 1 Topic 22 Borrow or lending 借还物品

1. Have you ever lent books to others?

I frequently lend my books out to other people. I am an avid (狂热的）reader and get very excited about books, therefore, when I read a good book I instantly recommend it to my friends. I trust my friends a lot therefore I have no reservations about lending my books out to them. Thus, I lend my books out to others very frequently and occasionally if they really love the book, I will let them keep it.

2. Do you like to lend books to others?

I really like lending books to other people. I like to lend my books to others because when you have both read the same book, you (你们）share a very meaningful experience. There is a wealth of discussion you can have with somebody over a book. Furthermore, my friends have always returned my books in good condition and very quickly, therefore, I am never worried about lending them.

3. Have you ever borrow money from others?

I do not ever borrow money from people. Personally, I think it is always better to earn the money first and then buy what you need. It is not a good habit to get in to debt with people ( 与其他人产生债务关系）.Therefore，I have always avoided borrowing money from people. I would find it very distressing (痛苦的）if I borrowed money from someone and was not able to pay them back. Therefore, I do not think it is worth taking the risk.

4. How do you feel when people don5t return things they borrowed from you?

I think it can be very annoying when people do not return things they borrowed from me, but it depends on the context. For example, sometimes someone has not returned an item because they needed to use it longer than they first imagined. This does not bother me. However, people often do not return things they have borrowed because they forget or are too lazy to. In my opinion, this is unacceptable.
