　　1. Do you often give gifts to people?

　　Absolutely! I usually give gifts on a lot of occasions such as birthdays of my families and my friends. I believe giving gifts to the person I care and love on some special occasions represents my best wishes to them. Plus, I place much emphasis on gift-giving for the reason that I think it’s a friendly way to bond with others and to strength our relationship.

　　2. Do you and your friend or family members give each other gifts?

　　Yes. We share gifts on family celebration or festivals. New year’s visit, birthday parties and weddings and mid-autumn festival are occasions on which gifts are most widely shared. Some youngsters even celebrate Christmas, Valentines’ day.

　　3. Do you think it is easy to choose what to give other people?

　　Not at all! Every time I need to give other people gifts, I have to rack my brain trying to work out what is the best gift for him or her. I can take up to days and hours in the mall trying to find something unique for someone special to me because I don't want the receiver to get the same present from me every year! Plus, I need to consider that whether the gift I delicately choose might meet his or her taste. I want to be a great gift-giver. All these considerations make it hard for me to give gift every year!

　　4. Do you think it is important to give expensive gfits?

　　It depends! Exchanging gifts is a tradition in my country, but I wouldn’t go so far to say that giving pricey presents is necessary. In my country, people only give costly gifts to other people when they have to bribe those powerful officers. Of course this is illegal behavior and we should totally against bribery. But under some other circumstances, I think it’s quite common for parents to give expensive gifts such as a fancy watch to their children on some big days.

　　5. In china, is it necessary to bring a gift when you visit someone?

　　Yes. It’s our common practice to buy gifts when visiting someone to show our gratitude to those who invite us. Otherwise it will be regarded as rude. It is quite necessary cuz exchanging gifts is always one of the best ways to enhance the relationship between people involved.

　　6. Do you think gift-giving is very important?

　　Yes. It’s an important way to keep our good relationship with each other. A gift for birthday or festival makes people feel happy and loved. It doesn’t have to be of great value. A book, a funny toy, or even a postcard can be good gift, as long as to be sent by heart.
