Are you ready for the coming festive season? What gifts will you give to make your friends feel special? Here teenagers share their ideas for gifts and look forward to the ones they'll get.
Hu Ziwei, 15, Nanjing Foreign Language School
My class will have a gift exchange party, during which we will put on a small talent show. Many of us had our gifts ready a week ago. I believe that the boys will give magic tools, stationary （文具） or sweets, while girls are likely to give dolls or mobile accessories （挂件）.
The biggest fun about these parties is not knowing from whom you'll receive a gift and who will receive your gifts. The computer will decide everything! Our teacher hopes the activity will help us get to know each other better – you see, we've only known each other for three months. I'm looking forward to my surprise gift!
Liu Wei, 17,Beijing No 8 High School
Although my birthday was in November, I'll get a special birthday gift from my classmates this week. A．collective （集体的） birthday party is scheduled for all the students who had birthdays fall in the last six months.
My classroom has been decorated with colorful ribbons and Christmas balls. Someone told me that there will be a huge birthday cake and that a personalized gift sent with best wishes from other students is being prepared for each birthday student. I'm sure we will treasure this event and I'm so looking forward to the big moment!
Yin Zhaohua, 19, Jixi No 1 High School in Heilongjiang
I'm still enjoying the gifts I received on Christmas Eve. Nowadays traditional greeting cards are being replaced with apples and sweets, which symbolize （象征） hope for the year ahead. I got more than 20 apples this Christmas, which means I sent a similar number of apples out. I think apples are healthier, more environmentally and friendly gifts than cards sent through the post.
Wu Shang, 16, Mianyang High School in Sichuan
These last two weeks have been filled with every kind of exam so the atmosphere（气氛） on campus is not at all like a holiday. I miss the days when I got handwritten cards.
In fact, I haven't received or sent holiday cards since the Internet became popular. It's so fast and easy to send an e-card. Also, text messages are fun and convenient （方便的）. I'll send warm hugs to my best friends on New Year's D．ay to let them know that I'll be always there for them.

查看习题详情和答案>>I think there are two ideas of middle school "love". One is temptation: Girls dress beautifully and act giggly.
Boys are popular and attractive.
Then there is the other kind: attraction that may or may not be love. The student I know is like that. She
has a friend called John whom she has feelings for, but she can't decide if it's love or friendship. In her words:
"I wonder whether he is my ideal boyfriend. I want someone cool and kind who holds the same values as
me. He isn't any of these. So sometimes I wonder if I'm only attracted and deciding to break up with him now.
But he is attractive, and he isn't foolish. He may not be an "A" student, but he's intelligent and clever. I wonder
if I only pity him for the hard times he has had. He knows how to make me laugh. We both sing and act. We
had several classes together last year. He can be very sweet."
I'm moved by this because it's hard to find a student who has such real thoughts. It seems that
everyone thinks only of how "hot" someone is, without acting more wisely.
For some people, Valentine's Day might mean nothing. But for others, it could mean a lot. What about you,
young man?
