Here teenagers share their ideas for new year gifts and look forward to the ones theyll get.Hu Ziwei, 15, Nanjing Foreign Language SchoolMy class will have a gift exchange party, during which we will put on a small talent show. Many of us had our gifts ready a week ago. I believe that the boys will give magic tools, stationary (文具) or sweets, while girls are likely to give dolls or mobile accessories (挂件).The biggest fun about these parties is not knowing from whom youll receive a gift and who will receive your gifts. The computer will decide everything! Our teacher hopes the activity will help us get to know each other better – you see, weve only known each other for three months. Im looking forward to my surprise gift! Liu Wei, 17,Beijing No 8 High SchoolAlthough my birthday was in November, Ill get a special birthday gift from my classmates this week. A collective (集体的) birthday party is scheduled (计划) for all the students who had birthdays fall in the last six months.My classroom has been decorated (装饰) with colorful ribbons and Christmas balls. Someone told me that there will be a huge birthday cake and that a personalized (个性化的) gift sent with best wishes from other students is being prepared for each birthday student. Im sure we will treasure this event and Im so looking forward to the big moment!Yin Zhaohua, 19, Jixi No 1 High School in HeilongjiangIm still enjoying the gifts I received on Christmas Eve. Nowadays traditional greeting cards are being replaced with apples and sweets, which symbolize (象征) hope for the year ahead. I got more than 20 apples this Christmas, which means I sent a similar number of apples out. I think apples are healthier, more environmentally friendly gifts than cards sent through the post.
