I think that sharing things with other people is a good habit. In everyday life, a lot of people borrow and lend things to each other. Some people might feel uncomfortable about borrowing and lending things, but it is a practice that has existed for every long time. Today, I would like to talk about a book that I borrowed from my best friend. It was during last summer when my final exams were going on. I remember that weather was extremely hot during those days. I used to study at a library which was close to my home as I found a good environment to study there. One day I forgot my biology book while I am studying at the library. I become anxious and started panicking as my biology exam was two days after that and I badly needed that book from my preparation. I called my friend who is a younger older than me, year older than me and had taken same exam last year. Luckily she still had the same book with her and she offered to lend it to me. I immediately reached her place and she gave me the book. I feel very relieved so I study really hard and I feel confident about my exam. Fortunately my exam went really well and I returned the book to her next day with a note of thanks. After a few months my result was declared. I was surprised to see that I had a highest food environment. I felt very happy and thanked my best friend. I bought a chocolate for her to express my gratitude. So this was the time when I borrowed a book from my friend.
