IELTS Writing Task 2: Opinion Essay 4 - Borrowing money from a friend

I think that borrowing money from a friend has some [blank_start]negative aspects[blank_end] and can harm or damage the friendship in some cases. [blank_start]For example[blank_end], a person borrowed some money from his or her friend and did not return it. [blank_start]However[blank_end], I believe that borrowing money from a friend and returning it on time can not harm friendship. [blank_start]Moreover[blank_end], it even can strengthen the relationships between them. [blank_start]For several reasons[blank_end], which I will mention bellow, I think borrowing money from a friend and returning it do not damage the friendship. I think that borrowing money from a person who is close to one is normal. Imagine that someone needs help and [blank_start]no doubt that[blank_end] his or her friends will offer it. For example, when my friend asks me to baby-sit her child while she is taking her classes I agree because I know that she desperately needs my help in order to finish her degree and save some money. Furthermore, [blank_start]I am sure[blank_end] that she will be there for me if I need help. [blank_start]The same thing is[blank_end] with the money, sometimes we borrow money from each other but we always return it to each other. I think it is very important to return money borrowed from a friend. I am glad that I can lend her some money when she needs it because I am sure that she will return it [blank_start]as soon as possible[blank_end]. [blank_start]In addition[blank_end], I believe that when friends lend and borrow money from each other it means that they trust each other. However, [blank_start]I cannot disagree[blank_end] with the fact that money often can cause the end of the friendship. For example, a person, who borrowed money from his or her friend and did not return it, will try to avoid any contacts with the second person. At the same time, a person who lent the money to his or her friend and did not get it back will have more likely an unpleasant feeling about the situation too. [blank_start]As a result[blank_end] friends will fall apart. [blank_start]In conclusion[blank_end], I think that borrowing money and returning it will help to keep friends together.
