A couple of months ago I borrowed some money
(1) ......... my older sister. It wasn't very much money
and, although she didn't actually say anything
(2) ......... me, I got the impression she had been quite
happy to lend it to (3) ......... and that she didn't really
need me to pay it back to (4) ......... immediately. A
few weeks later it was her birthday and her boyfriend
and I got together to buy (5) ......... a really expensive
present. It was a DVD player for her computer. I had no
idea about where to get something like that but a
friend suggested a shop (6) ......... me and we decided
to buy it there. The salesman showed (7) ......... lots of
different models and we eventually chose the most
expensive one. My sister's boyfriend had organised a
surprise party (8) ... her as well. We sent almost
(9) ........ my sister knows an invitation and a lot of
people came. I made (10) ......... a birthday cake and
we ordered take-away pizzas for dinner. When the
delivery boy arrived with the pizzas, my sister didn't
have enough money to pay the boy (11) ......... them
and she had to ask me to lend (12) ......... to her.
Strangely, it was exactly the same amount I had
borrowed.
