　　1.How do people usually choose gifts?

　　Well, I guess first you have to do some enquiring about the receivers' preferences（偏好） or hobbies,that is, if you don't already know these things about them. Then choose something of a realisticprice. You see, it's not really my style to link price with friendship, but to think in a practical （功利 主义的） way here is indeed helpful. For instance, if you want to choose a gift for your best friend'sgraduation from college, then neither a ready-made card nor a diamond necklace would beappropriate. Well, maybe if the card is made entirely by yourself it would be okay, but I still thinksomething more useful and a little bit more expensive can express your congratulations better,such as a pair of headphones（耳机） or something like that.

　　2.Why do some people find it hard to choose gifts?

　　That is indeed a huge problem, actually. Cuz there are so many factors you need to consider. Firstof all, we want to give people something nice, something useful, but a very important thing is thatthey better not（最好没有） already have it. Also, as friends, it's not appropriate（恰当的,合适的） tobuy them things that are too personal, like a toothbrush or something like that. Another thing isthat we wanna buy something different from others, like, even if your friend loves flowers, it maynot be the best scenario where everybody who comes to the party brings her a bunch of flowers.

　　3.Do you think useful gifts are always more suitable than those useless ones?

　　Personally, yes. I do think I prefer practical （功能性的） gifts myself. But this doesn't mean that so?called useless' gifts are necessarily worse ones. This is because the definition of 'usefulness'itself varies significantly. For instance, I may think that flowers are actually not that useful, andthey perish（枯萎,腐烂） rather easily, whilst there are many people who think flowers can put themin a good mood and can also be perfect decorations for their room. In that case, I'll considersending flowers to those people, cuz those are apparently way more suitable than other'functional' gifts in my mind, like a smart speaker（智能音箱）.

　　4.Do people give the same gifts as they did in the past?

　　Absolutely not. My mum told me that when she was dating my dad, she knitted sweaters（织毛衣）and scarfs（围巾） for him as gifts. Well, people still do this nowadays, of course, but the popularityof doing so is surely diminishing（减少,缩小）. With the development of commodities in theeconomy and technology, there are more and more fascinating gifts available at present. Forinstance, I sent a smart speaker to my dad, as a birthday gift, cuz I go to university in another city,and when I'm not home, this artificial-intelligence-based（基于人工智能的） device can help him havemore enjoyable leisure time. These sorts of devices weren't even there in the past.
