Gift-giving is different from culture to culture and person to person.
When people give gifts, sometimes color is important. For example, for many Chinese people around the world, red is a lucky color, and people often like to wrap gifts in red. However, do you know that in South Korea, red is a color of death That is why you should not wrap your gifts in this color if you are giving a gift to a person there.
What about Western countries In Western countries, the color of wrapping paper is not really important. But color does matter when giving flowers, especially roses. You should not give red roses to a Western person you don't know very well because they are a symbol of love. You could give yellow roses instead, as these are a symbol of friendship. You could also send pink roses as gifts to say thank you.
What other things should you remember when giving gifts to someone from a different culture Well, one thing you should keep in mind is the person's religion (宗教).

English weather,

Last week Gretel really understood why everyone is so concerned (关注) about the weather: you can never be certain what's going to happen. Though it was spring, there was a very heavy snowfall. As usual, no one expected it. The pipes in many houses were frozen; trains failed to run; cars went shrunk; there were many accidents on the roads; lots of people slipped on the icy pavements and got hurt; the weather forecast was very bad. Everyone complained gloomily (沮丧地) , “What awful weather we're having！Haven't seen anything like it！” and so on. And then, suddenly, the sun came out, the snow melted and it was spring again.
“Typical (典型的)！Just typical！” Gretel remarked.
“From the way you talk about the weather, Gretel,” Mr Clark said, “anyone would think you were English.”

61．例文：
Dear Daming,
It’s a good idea to take a small gift when you go to have a dinner in an American family. Flowers are always nice, or you might bring a bottle of wine if you know that the family like to drink it.
You should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late. Don’ t get there early. If you’ re going to be more than fifteen minutes late, you should call and tell them.
Try to be free at the dinner table. If you don’t know how to use the knife, fork, or spoon, just watch the other people, and follow them. If you still have no idea of what to do, don’t be shy about asking the person next to you. It’s better to ask than to be quiet and feel uncomfortable and nervous.
If you like the food, say so. Of course, you should thank the host and hostess for the meal and their kindness. It’s also a good idea to send a card or a thank-you note the following day.
Yours,
Li Hua
