Some people believe that 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 view and give your opinion.

It is a tradition, in most cultures, to give presents to

others

to

show

affection.

However

, there are numerous other ways to

show

our love and respect,

for example

, spending time together, talking to each other, helping each other, etc. Some people think that it is still very important to give

gifts

and presents.

On the contrary

,

others

questioned the importance

suggesting better ways to

our affection. In

this

essay, both sides will be discussed and I will try to draw a conclusion at the end.

Firstly

, by offering

gifts

we can

show

our engagement in one relationship.

For instance

, a birthday is one of the most common scenarios in which we send

gifts

. In

such

a scenario, by sending

gifts

, one proves that not only does he remember the birthday, but

also

spent money and effort to purchase a birthday present.

Therefore

gifts

always mean a lot and become a very important behaviour in our social life.

Nevertheless

,

others

argue that there are better ways which have more emotional attachments,

such

as talking to each other or keeping

in accompany. To illustrate, my grandmother and grandfather live in a small village far from any of their child, and they always want us( their children and grandchildren) to spend longer time with them in the small village because for them no present can compare to our accompany.

Thus

we can see there are better alternatives for showing love. To sum up, both sides of the argument have strong

supports

gifts

. It is predictable that friends spending more time together have stronger connections than friends buying more expensive presents for each other.
