如何送礼物
Gift giving is different from culture to culture and person to person.
When people give gifts, sometimes colour is important. For example, for many Chinese people around the world, red is a lucky colour, and people often like to wrap(包) gifts in red. However, do you know that in Korea, red is a colour of death? If you want to give gifts to people there, you shouldn't wrap the gifts in this colour.
What about Western countries? In Western countries, the colour of wrapping paper is not really important. But the colour is really important when people give flowers, especially roses. You should not give red roses to a Western person you don't know very well, because they are a symbol of love. You could give yellow roses instead, because they are a symbol of friendship. You could also send pink roses as gifts to say thank you.
What else should you remember when giving gifts to someone from a different culture? Well, one thing you should keep in mind is the person's religion(宗教). Never give the gift against his or her religion.
