See how I use these words in the example Part 1 answers below:
“I don’t use the library as often as I used to, but I still visit occasionally. When I borrow books, I always make sure to return them on time. Before I go, I usually check the online catalogue to see if they have what I’m looking for. When I’m there, I browse the shelves in quiet study, occasionally stopping to do some research for a project. The librarian is always available to help me find what I need, and I’m grateful for my library membership.”
“When I was younger, I used to visit the library a lot. I would borrow books from the catalogue and return them to their proper shelf when I was finished. The library was always quiet, which made it a great place to study and do research for school projects. The librarians were always helpful and friendly, and I eventually became a member of the library so that I could borrow books more easily. Overall, the library was a wonderful resource for me when I was growing up.”
