Yuki and Kaoru, thank you for your role-play, you two did well. Your script meets the relationships and the sizes of the request. I like the gesture of Yuki when he borrows a big amount of money, it is so authentic. Just revised as Professor said, will be perfect.

I like the fact you made differentiation between the role play for borrowing 20 yen and 1000 dollars in that you provided no reason for borrowing 20 yen but stated the reason why you need to borrow that much money. You can make the latter request by adding more elements such as 'I was just wondering if you could do me a favour,...' or state what happened without asking for money directly. You could say something like, 'My computer broke down and I was told it is not repairable. I need to write final papers for my courses so I decided to buy a new one. It is 3000 dollars but I have 2000 with me. I won't get paid until the end of the month by my part time work...' Then your friend might say, OK so if I lend you 1000 dollars, can you pay me back by the end of the month?' or something like that.

そうは言いましたが、ちゃんと金額に合わせて聞き方を工夫していたのが分かりました!上のダイアローグを見直して練習してみてくださいね。
