People like to give gifts to others on big days. But there are 1. something different about gift-giving rules in different countries.
In China, clocks, shoes and gifts in odd numbers are not 2. welcome. And gifts in black are not a good 3. idea either. Also, it's common to buy big gifts. The 4. meaning behind gifts is more important. For Chinese, a small gift means a lot. Red is a(n) 5. symbol of good luck, so people often use red wrapping paper.
In America, people don't like 6. expensive gifts. What gifts do they usually give to their friends? Some small things like books, candies, or homemade 7. cookies are a good choice. People say thanks first and then 8. open the gift in front of the giver.
Things are 9. quite different in Russia. People there spend a lot of money on gifts. They don't give gifts like pencils, pens or notebooks. When people visit a Russian's home, they often bring some chocolate or flowers. 10. After people get the gift, they won't open it in front of the giver.
Understanding these differences helps us to 11. respect and enjoy different cultures. It can also help people show their kindness and thanks in proper ways.
