Sharing Art Supplies
Paint Pro Tips
Do you and your friends love painting together? Paint can be expensive, so it is a good idea to buy big bottles and share the cost. You can put all the paint in one large box. That way, everyone knows where it is. When you finish painting, you must wash the brushes with warm water. Clean brushes last longer. If your friend finishes a color, do not be angry. Just go to the shop and buy a new one together!
Marker Magic
Special art markers cost a lot of money. If you share a pack with a friend, you need to make some rules. First, always put the lid back on the marker when you finish. If you forget, the marker will dry out and stop working. You should also make a plan. You can use the markers on weekends, and your friend can have them on school days. Remember not to press too hard on the paper, or the marker will break.
Sketchbook & Pencils
Drawing with high-quality pencils is great, but they are not cheap. When you borrow your friend's pencil, you must be careful. If the pencil breaks, use a small knife or a good sharpener to fix it slowly. Good drawing paper is also expensive. You must always ask your friend before you take a piece. What happens if you make a mistake? Try to share one big eraser. Do not cut the eraser into smaller pieces, because it will be hard to use.

Book Arguments
Emma
I lent my favourite storybook to my friend Sarah. I waited for two weeks, but she didn’t give it back. When I asked her, she said she couldn't find it. I was really angry because my grandfather gave me that book. We didn't speak for a few days. Then, Sarah came to my house with a surprise. She bought a new copy of the book for me from the bookshop. I felt happy and we are good friends again.
Leo
My friend Tom needed a book for his history homework, so I gave him mine. I needed it for my own homework the next week. But he forgot it at his house every day. We had a big argument in the school playground. He finally brought it back, but it was very late. I had to stay awake all night to finish my school work. We are still friends, but I never let him borrow my things now.
Maya
I gave my favourite comic book to my best friend Anna to read. She kept it for a long time. When she finally brought it back, I was very sad. The book was really dirty and some pages were bad. We had a fight about it. Anna said sorry and invited me to the cinema to make me feel better. I loved the film, but my book is still broken. Now, my friends can only read my comics at my house.
