I enjoy 1) listening to the music on my stereo. I remember 2) buying my first CD. It was ten years ago. I was walking past a music store and I saw my friend 3) walk into the shop so I followed him in. When he saw me he stopped 4) to speak to me. 'I would like 5) to buy some CDs,' he said. I told him that I wanted 6) to hear something new so he handed me a CD and said 'O.K. Try 7) listening to this.' He lent me some money 8) to buy it because I had forgotten 9) to bring my wallet. I can't stand 10 borrowing money so I considered 11) saying 'no.' Then I changed my mind and bought the CD with his money. Yesterday I tried 12) to find that CD but even after 13) searching all through my house I couldn't 14) find it. 15 To be honest, I am so disappointed.
