Just like Chinese, westerners give gifts on many occasions (场合), such as, on birthdays of good friends,
at Christmas and some other holidays. Although gifts are always welcome, it is not necessary to exchange
(交换) gifts at any time. They exchange gifts only among good friends.
Usually when you are invited to dinner, you needn't bring a gift except on special occasions, for example,
when you are going to be a weekend guest (宾客). If you wish to bring something, the gifts should always
be small, simple and cheap. You might bring some sweets or some small toys for the children, or a book,
some flowers,a bottle of wine etc for the host (主人). If you want to make your gifts special, you can bring
some Chinese tea, Chinese paintings, Chinese papercuts (剪纸) or other things like that,or even you can cook
Chinese dish and bring it with you.
Westerners prefer to open a gift at once, and admire (赞美) it. They would thank you and make some
comment (谈论) about the gift's beauty so that you know they like your gift very much.
