Topic: It is sometimes said that borrowing money from a friend can harm or
damage the friendship. Do you agree? Why or why not? Use reasons and
specific examples to explain your answer.

************************************************** ********
Many people say that borrowing money from a friend has negative effects to the friendship, but, in my opinion, it doesn't. There are several minds that make me think so, such as: true friendship, better relationship, and help each other. Borrowing money from a friend doesn't threat friendship at all.

First, when you have truly best friends who can lend you some money, they won't blame you even though if you can't return it. They will think that good friends are far more important than just money. You can find money everywhere, but where you can find such a good friend?

Second, If someone lend his money to his best friend, their relationship will be better; because, they will talk and figure out the problem together. When they are discussing the problem together, they can feel more closer, because the borrower will feel the same way as the borrowed person feel.

Lastly, don't you realize that if you lend someone money, it means that you help him, even though if it is just a loan. You have done a pretty good job. He will see you in a better way. With your money, he can find the way out of his problem easier.

In conclusion, borrowing money to a friend doesn't harm or jeopardize a friendship. There are lots of advantages from borrowing money. Furthermore, friend and money are something that can't be mixed up. A true friendship never known a "loan" word.

Re: It is sometimes said that borrowing money from a friend can harm or

some suggestions:
- 2nd paragraph: "even though" or "even if" but "even though if" is too much.
in this case I think: "even if"; same in 4th paragraph
- 4th paragraph: "don't you realize" is a little bit awkward in my opinion
- Last sentence: "knows" instead of "known"

I think you have good ideas, but your essay is a little bit short. As far I know the lower limit is about 250 words. Perhaps it's safer to write a little bit more.

Kind regards,
incinka.
