I Met Him at the Subway Station I've been working in Shanghai for more than one year. It's so lonely that I'm thirsty for any of my friend could be here,too. Hence, he arrived in May. I borrowed my apartment to him for a month,so he had enough time to get a job. I borrowed him money for taking the rent. I helped him for moving house. I borrowed him my beding. But then I realized that I was utilized. So I stopped talking with him, and felt so heart-broken. Maybe I've lost a friend now, not as good as he wasn't here.

I Met Him at the Subway Station

I've been working in Shanghai for more than one year.

[Good sentence; small conjugation correction: "I had been working in Shanghai for more than one year."]

 

It's so lonely that I'm thirsty for any of my friend could be here,too.

[Do not use slang in formal writings: "thristy" is a slang term for extreme desparation. Also be mindful of your verb conjugation: "Living here, I was so lonely and desparate for a friend."] 


Hence, he arrived in May.
I borrowed my apartment to him for a month,so he had enough time to get a job.
I borrowed him money for taking the rent.
I helped him for moving house.
I borrowed him my beding.

[Not a good sentence: "When he arrived in May I lent him my apartment so he could take his time and find a job. Then I gave him money to pay for his rent. I also helped him move into the apartment and even gave him bedding for his bed."]


But then I realized that I was utilized.

[Never begin a sentence using "but;" Then I realized that my generosity was being abused by him."]

So I stopped talking with him, and felt so heart-broken.

[Good sentence,minor edit: "I stopped talking to him but felt so heart - broken afterwards."]

 

Maybe I've lost a friend now, not as good as he wasn't here.

[Not a very good sentence because of the double negative used in the last part of the sentence: "...., not as good as he wasn't here."]

 

If I were to give you a grade you would receive a generous C+.

If it is true and he used you so he is not your friend then. Most of people can't stand to be alone but it is better to be alone than with this kind of "friend". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeMFqkcPYcg
