pay you back.\，but here are some steps that will help you get back the money
you've lent and keep your friendship complete.

friend is asking for a loan. Think carefully about whether this is something you feel comfortable
doing. You may want to consider: How is your friend with money? 17 ?Why does your
friend need the money?
● 18_ ___.You might settle for a verbal（口头的）agreement since it's with someone
you're close to, but putting the loan in writing will enable both of you to treat it as a business
arrangement. The agreement should spell out the terms, including any interest and the punishment for late payments.

made, and then keep to that schedule. 1 9 .It's better to figure out what you will do if
your friend can't make a payment ahead of time than trying to work it out when it happens.
