阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题。
Ren Kexin is preparing a gift for her best friend. It is a cross-stitch (十字绣). Making the gift takes up a lot of her free time.
"I'm interested in making gifts myself," said the Grade 10 girl, "and I believe my friend will like it very much."
Many Chinese students make gifts by themselves. Ren is one of them. A DIY gift is not only cheap but also interesting to make and it has a special meaning.
Teenagers also make other gifts like bracelets(手链) and Chinese knots(中国结). "Gift shops may sell many of them, but any gift you make yourself is unique(独一无二的)," Zheng Ruobing, a 16-year-old girl said. She once made a cross-stitch for an American teacher. Her teacher was excited about it.
However, not all students are DIY fans. Luo Dinghan thinks making gifts is a waste of time. "I often buy gifts for my friends, as time is more important than money," he said. "And some gifts you get from stores are much more beautiful."
