In the Western countries, you should be careful of giving gifts. Never give a gift in a job interview. People usually give gifts during special holidays, or as a “thank you” for special invitations. While arriving at a special party, you should bring a gift. Here are a few rules: Be modest (谦逊的) about your gift. Do not buy gifts that are too expensive, such as a Swiss watch. A special food from your country, a bottle of wine, candies or flowers are the best if you do not know the host very well, but be sure that your gift will not win much attention. You can usually say something like “I hope you will like it.” when you offer your gift. Be careful of giving wine. A bottle of wine is usually all right if you know your host drinks wine, but you should only give hard alcohol (烈酒) such as whisky as a gift when you know the host well and are sure that they would like such a gift. Flowers are good, but remember: Roses are for special love. You have to be careful. A small cultural gift from your country is usually very good. Make sure that you pack your gift well.
