Many books have been written about âthe art of givingâ. But what about the art of receiving? Sometimes, receiving a gift can be difficult, especially when someone buys you a gift you donât wantï¼

âI remember when I was about twelve years old, my parents bought me a purple purse,â laughs Guo Xiaojing. âIt really made me feel embarrassed, because to be honest, I thought the purse was really uglyï¼Still, I pretended that I liked it because I knew it would make my parents happyï¼â

Han Ling agrees. âThat sounds like my grandparentsï¼A few years ago, my grandparents gave me an orange sweater for my birthday. I used to wear it every time I visited them, but when I left their house, I took it offï¼Of course, this made me feel guilty. It was a very nice thought, but my grandparents have different taste from meï¼I think itâs hard to buy clothes or other personal things for people.â

To make things easier, some people would rather just give money. In some cultures, however, receiving money can make people uncomfortable. âWhen someone gives me money, it just makes me think theyâre being lazy,â says John Wilson. âIn England, we have a saying: Itâs the thought that counts. When someone gives me money, I feel they donât think at all. I prefer to receive a gift that has some thought behind it. I donât mind if itâs something I donât need. If someone has thought about a gift for me, it always makes me happy.âDifferent people have very different thoughts on this subjectï¼So maybe the art of receiving is even more difficult than the art of givingï¼What do you think?
