如果答yes，可以说礼物是我们文化中很重要的一个方面，送礼会显得很有礼貌以及对别人的尊重，接着阐述曾经在什么场合送过什么礼物给谁。

如果答no，可以说因为个人觉得拜访朋友或者亲人没有必要带礼物，除非是很重要的场合，或者只有在初次拜访时才会带礼物。

答案中要出现when、who、what 和how did I like it，这是发生在过去的事情，所以注意要用过去时态。

PART 1

1. When do people give gifts or presents in your country?

In my country, people generally give gifts on people’s birthdays. Usually, children tell family members what they would like, but people outside the family often do not know what the children would like, so they often give the children money, and let them buy whatever they want. Adults often receive things like books and DVDs, but a husband or wife will usually buy something more expensive, like a nice watch.

In my country, gifts are mostly given at important festivals. In my culture, the price of the gift is important, so people often spend a lot of money on gifts for people. I think that the most popular gifts are toys for children and clothes and electronics for adults, but it really depends on the person.

2. Do you ever take a gift when you visit someone in their home? [Why/ Why not?]

Yes, I like to take some flowers if I am visiting a woman or a family. In my country, men don’t expect a gift from visitors, but it is often a good idea to take something to eat or drink together, like beer or potato chips. Then we can share the snacks and have a drink while we chat.

No, I don’t usually take a gift when I visit someone. I might take something if I am visiting someone for the first time, but I don’t take anything when I visit my family or friends, unless it is a special occasion, like a birthday or a festival. However, whenever my parents visit me, they bring something. Usually my mother brings something delicious that she has cooked!

3. When did you last receive a gift? [What was it?]

The last gift I received was a bunch of roses from my boyfriend on Valentine’s Day. Most people bought red roses, but my boyfriend found some blue ones. Blue is my favourite colour. He gave them to me when he arrived at my home to take me to dinner. It was very romantic!

The last gift I received was from my father on my twenty- first birthday. It was a car. I had wanted one since my eighteenth birthday, but my father thinks that eighteen is too young to drive. Actually, as I was at university, I didn’t need to drive, but now I think I do. Anyway, I passed my driving test a few months ago, so I can drive whenever I like.

4. Do you enjoy looking for gifts for people? [Why/ Why not?]

Yes, I do. I think it is very important to get the right gift and I spend quite a lot of time on it. I usually go shopping for gifts with friends, so that they can help me to choose something suitable. We often go to a shopping mall near the place we live, because there are lots of shops with different things and the prices are reasonable. Of course, we often buy some gifts for ourselves too.

No, I don’t like finding gifts for others. I like giving gifts to other people, but I don’t like shopping and I find it very difficult to choose what to buy. Generally, I look for something online, because I can do it easily from home whenever I have time. Furthermore, the prices are often lower than in the shops, so I save both time and money.
