Daichi and Nozomi, thank you for your role-play. When we make a request/ borrow money, we need to give a reason, even though just a short one, just one sentence is fine. eg. "Hey, I left my wallet at the lab! Do you mind/would you please+request"
Both of you are polite, however, if the request is really small and you two are good friends, being too polite is not appropriate. Keep it up! =)

OK. When you ask for a favour to borrow as much as 2000 dollars, it would help to tell the lender why you need that much money. It was nice the borrower was very apologetic, though. You can say something like, 'I really need to buy a computer as my current one broke down on me. I only have 1000 dollars but the one I want to buy is 2000 dollars. Do you mind lending me 1000 dollars? I promise I will pay you back in the end of next month!' とか具体的に理由を言った方が借りやすいですね。それと返す約束は金額が大きくなればなるほど必要になります。丁寧にやっているのが好感が持てました。
