I think, a traditional scarf is an ideal gift for those who will go abroad to study. This scarf will help him,
when he misses home, and misses his parents and friends. Besides, if he goes to cool countries, scarf is
necessary thing which he uses every day. Scarf will remind him about me and our friendship.
I won’t give him a necklace and a photo album, because necklace costs much money, and my friend never
prints out his photos. He can easily buy one abroad, but this is traditional scarf, which is bought only in
Vietnam.

Birthday is always an important day of the year for each person. Choosing a meaningful gift to give to a
friend on a birthday is also very important. If I buy a friend's birthday gift, first of all I have to think about
what kind of person is he or she and what kind of hobby he/ she has (his/ her personality and preferences) to
choose the right gift. In the case of choosing 3 gifts: a novel, a T-shirt and concert tickets to give my friend
who is a beautiful girl, romantic and love music, I think concert tickets is a great choice. Because firstly
music is her hobby, there is no better gift which comes to her interests. Secondly, her idol is Diva My Linh,
so that gift becomes more meaningful. Thirdly, I'm sure my gift will not coincide with anybody's gift because
owning a concert ticket of My Linh is not easy. The other two options are also not a bad choice. But I believe
that a busy girl like her will have less time to read, and to save time she can read online, and to give
supplementary T-shirt for her wardrobe is not wise choice. So, with my friend, the most amazing birthday gift
is her idol’s concert ticket.

The wedding anniversary is one of the most special days in a couple’s life. And when my parents, the
world's best couple in my eyes, have taken amazing journey together for 30 long years, it certainly is an
astounding achievement and is a good enough reason to hold a grand celebration.
I understand my parents very well. They will not like a vacation abroad because it is too expensive. My
parents also know the work of their children is very busy; their grandchildren go to school, so it’s not easy to
gather for the photos. And every year, on Lunar New Year, my family takes pictures of memories.So the best
way to celebrate the 30th anniversary that I'm sure my parents really like is a warm little family party. First of
all, this is a perfect opportunity for family members to come back home, clean up, decorate the party, and
cook good foodtogether.This helps to increase cohesion among members. Secondly, we will hear special
stories during our parents' 30-year journey, so that we will need to love each other and strive to be like my
parents.
To sum up, I strongly believe that my parents will love and be satisfied with our party for them.
