Some people believe it is important to give gifts and presents to friends and family to show that we care about them. Others think that there are better ways to show affection to them. Discuss both the views and give your own opinion.

Expressing
love
Use synonyms
towards our loved ones is extremely important. While some people think that giving gifts is the best way to do
this
Linking Words
since materials are the only way to show
love
Use synonyms
, others think respect is a better way. I think we can do
this
Linking Words
by following both approaches partially. We often express
love
Use synonyms
and
care
Use synonyms
by giving materials on different occasions
such
Linking Words
as birthdays and marriage anniversaries. In many societies, the economic value of a
gift
Use synonyms
is
also
Linking Words
considered to measure the extent of
love
Use synonyms
.
For example
Linking Words
, in Punjabi weddings, mothers often
gift
Use synonyms
gold
jewelry
an adornment (as a bracelet or ring or necklace) made of precious metals and set with gems (or imitation gems)
jewellery
to their daughters as an expression of
love
Use synonyms
. If they fail to give
this
Linking Words
gift
Use synonyms
, the society sees
this
Linking Words
as a sign of broken relationships.
Similarly
Linking Words
, birthdays are occasions to give presents to
fulfill
put in effect
fulfil
long pending wishes. While a boy may expect his parents to
gift
Use synonyms
him a cricket kit to play the game at a professional level, a girl wants them to present a dress for a party. Merely expressing
love
Use synonyms
through a hug is not sufficient.
On the other hand
Linking Words
, sometimes a
gift
Use synonyms
is not desirable to show
care
Use synonyms
.
Instead
Linking Words
, it destroys the innocence of relationships. An
old

older
parent,
for example
Linking Words
, does not need a
gift
Use synonyms
from
Suggestion
for
her children but the warmth of relationships. She wants them to live with her, cook her some food, and talk to her regularly. Merely giving her a
gift
Use synonyms
and
then
Linking Words
staying away from her is not sufficient. In many cultures,
such
Linking Words
as Indian and Japanese, touching an elder’s feet is more important than giving a
gift
Use synonyms
occasionally. In conclusion, I think that while giving presents is important on special occasions to show
love
Use synonyms
and
care
Use synonyms
, we need to
care
Use synonyms
personally by serving others in day-to-day life. Both are important and we need to strike a balance between the two approaches.
