<입이트이는영어 - 8월 3일차 복습>
- 라디오 방송 및 공부 후기

My friends are my greatest asset. A while ago, I was going through a rough patch at work. I felt like my career was at a dead end. I fell into a funk. Thankfully, I have good friends who helped me snap out of it. They gave me encouragement. Sometimes, they just listened to my grievances. They were always on my side. I was grateful for their friendship. Once, I had some money problems. I was badly in the red. A friend gave me a loan, no questions asked. Thanks to him, I was able to resolve the issue. Of course, I repaid my debt ASAP. I am lucky to have such good friends to rely on.
