Answer 2

This week, my parents and friends have made several requests. Here are a few examples:

1. My mom asked me to do the washing-up. She said, "Could you please do the washing-up? The dishes have been piling up in the sink, and it would be great if you could help out."

2. My friend asked me to explain a complicated math problem. He said, "Can you help me understand my homework? I'm really struggling with this math question, and I don't know where to start."

3. My dad asked me to drive him to the city. He said, "I've missed the bus into town. Could you give me a ride? I have an important meeting, and I don't want to be late."

4. My sister asked to borrow some money. She said, "I haven't got any money, and I want to go out with my friends tonight. Can you lend me some cash? I'll pay you back as soon as I can."

5. My roommate asked me to answer the phone. He said, "The phone's ringing, but I'm in the shower. Would you mind picking it up? It might be an important call."

6. My cousin asked me to help her reach something on a high shelf. She said, "I can't reach something on the shelf. Can you give me a hand? I need that box for wrapping Christmas presents."

These are just a few examples of requests that have been made by my parents and friends this week. It's always important to be helpful and considerate when someone asks for assistance.
