On my friend’s birthday party, the nearest time is Chinese Spring Festival because I will give a red packet to my parents. I will give them some cash for the festival. On the birthday day, we will give gift to each other. I think it’s a little trouble for me to buy the present because I need to think a lot of whether the gift is good for him or her and the price “are they like or not like”. So we have a promise within my friends, we only give gifts on everyone’s birthday. Gift giving is more troublesome because it’s a culture in Chinese. Besides friends and relatives, we also need to buy gifts to people who help you.

A lot of time I will buy the gift but I like. The gift send to my friends, I will buy high price as a present. A lot of time, you won’t make mistakes. All of my friends are females so we have similar hobbies. There a few things that women don’t like like, cosmetics, perfume or red packet. I don’t like flowers like rose. On Valentine’s day, some men will give rose to me. When I receive flowers, I will think “Is it the end of love?”

Revised: 

The last time I gave a gift was on my friend’s birthday party. The last time was on Chinese New Year/the Spring Festival because I usually give my parents a red packet. I would give them some cash during the festival. On birthdays, we will give each other gifts. I think it’s a little troublesome for me to buy the present because I need to think about whether the gift is good for him or her and consider the price “Is it suitable?“. So we made a promise among my friends to only give gifts on each other’s birthday. Gift giving is more troublesome because it’s a culture in China. Besides friends and relatives, we also need to buy gifts to people who help you.

Most of the time, I will buy the gift that I like. For my friends’ gifts, I will spend more on them. In most cases, I won’t make mistakes/I won’t get it wrong. All of my friends are females so we have similar hobbies. There are only a few things that women don’t like. Most of the time, women like cosmetics, perfumes or red packets. I don’t like flowers especially roses. On Valentine’s day, some men will send roses to me. When I receive flowers, I will think “Is it the end of love?”
