I’m Li Hua. I think

【参考范文一】I'm Li Hua. I think people should give gifts on birthdays. First, gifts make birthdays fun. Everyone likes surprises at a party. Second, it is exciting to open a gift. It makes us feel very happy and special. Third, giving gifts is a good way to show our love. When we give a gift, we say “I care about you.” So, giving gifts is a great idea!
【参考范文二】I'm Li Hua. I think people shouldn't give gifts on birthdays. First, gifts are not the best way to show love. We can just say “I love you” to our family. Second, getting together is more important. Playing games or having dinner with friends is better than getting things. Third, we can help each other, but we cannot buy expensive gifts. So, love is more important than gifts.
