This week for writing, please write a dialogue about one of these situations:
  • 1. Your friend traveled and asked you to water his/her plants. You forgot to do it and all his/her plants died while he/she was away.
  • 2. Your friend asked you to take care of the dogs, but you can't do it because you are allergic to pets' fur.
  • 3. Your friend asked you to take their of the children during the afternoon, but you forgot to feed the baby.
  • 4. You asked for your friend's car while yours was at the mechanic. You crashed the car while parking it.
  • 5. You borrowed some money from your friend. Now you don't have money to pay back.
