I have a wonderful friend. Her name is Emily. We have been friends ever since kindergarten. Last year, Emily started to my things all the time. I lent (借出) her what she asked for because I wanted to be nice. then I noticed that she was not always returning the things she had borrowed!
One day I asked Emily to give my things back. She said that she remember what she had borrowed. I made a list and gave it to 5. The next day she brought back only one thing. It was a dirty T-shirt.
The next time I went to Emily’s house. I saw that her room was very untidy. I asked her we could look for my things together.
“I know they’re here ,” she said.
Emily and I played some music on the computer and sang while we worked. The lost thing that I discovered was my purple hat. It was under a pile of clothes in a chair. We kept finding things.
