If you could get anything for Christmas, what would that be?

 

I feel like gift-giving sparks the same fun emotions as gift receiving. People have a different method for buying people presents that I stick to, especially when doing shopping for Christmas presents. One, they either ask directly about a list of things that a person would like to receive under the Christmas tree. Two, they take notes on any close-by writing material, subtly filling it in with the potential present ideas. Three, they ask for support from the person's closest family and friends in deciding on the present. In today's lesson, you will learn how to give some examples of things you want to get for Christmas, talk about a savings account and give opposite descriptions (new vs old, etc).
