Question

       The celebration of festivals and your birthday always involves gifts, which brings different feelings to people of different ages. Especially when you were a  1 , it was great to get that special toy you had  2  for so long, wrapped up in pretty paper. The more attractive the  3 , the more  4  it added. When you finally saw it, your heart started beating  5  and you felt like you could just  6  and yell: "Yeah! I got it!"

       Shopping gifts for  7  must be complicated. My favorite part of gift shopping is thinking of something the person will  8  like and use. It shows you care, and that's the  9  of a gift I' m not a  _10  person who wants loads of gifts; I just want them to mean something.

       Some people find the gift card is  11 , hut for me it is silly. It shows no real  12  at all but a sum of money. I receive many each year  13   places where I never shop. After  14  throughout a 'whole store for something, I do what I have to do  15  I get these cards: I end up buying socks because we can't have  16  and because not using the card is a waste of  17 .

       When you receive the gift card, you certainly  18  hold it up in the air screaming with joy, because you' d sure look like a  19  , wouldn't you? You just have to smile and say  20 .
