     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.

[1] Stress for a teenager is as real a problem as stress for an adult. Therefore, it’s important to understand the causes of stress in teenagers.

[2] When parents change their jobs or if the family decides to move to a different place, the child has to change schools, find new friends, adapt to the new social circle and fit into new groups. It is always difficult for children to adapt to such changes, which can be a serious cause of stress in their life.

[3] Academic difficulties, such as inability to understand a certain subject can cause stress. Not every child has the ability to understand every subject. Some kids need extra help besides school work to grasp a few concepts. Poor academic performance is often laughed at and is looked down upon by both teachers and peers. In such cases, it can make the child feel isolated, neglected and hurt. All of this, put together, can add to stress, which many times worsen grades.

[4] Extra curricular activities (课外活动) such as playing a sport, or attending art classes can weigh heavily on your child’s mind. Balancing school and extra curricular activities does seem like a burden when you have to be outstanding at both. When the pressures from both the ends get unmanageable, teenagers tend to get tired and annoyed. Tiredness sets in, leading to stress related issues such as lack of concentration in school.
