A

A gift card is a card that is issued(发行) by a store. These cards are big money makers for stores. One reason is that when gift-card holders go to the store, they often see other things to buy, and they spend more money than the gift card is worth. Unused cards are another reason. Stores make millions of dollars because large numbers of people never use their cards. They either lose them, forget about them, or decide that it's not worth the effort.

Gift cards are becoming very popular in many countries around the world. In the US, they are one of the most popular kinds of gifts. Why? People love the convenience—gift cards are easy to buy and easy to use, either in the store or online. The recipient can choose his or her own gift, and the giver does not have to worry about finding just the right thing.

Receiving a gift card, however,is not the same as receiving a gift. A real gift is a better reminder of the person who gave it. The message of a real gift is more likely to be,\because I care about you.\a hurry. I didn't have time to think about what you would really like.\

In today's world, gift cards are certainly convenient. However, they can make us forget the real purpose of giving gifts, which is to build a closer connection between the gift-giver and the gift-recipient. 1.

For those of us who are studying at school, the time of exams is very stressful and difficult.

Maybe you can speak to a friend, or someone in your family, or teachers at your place of study. If one person doesn’t help you, ask someone else. ___12___Here is some advice:

Ask a teacher or tutor about how to review your lessons, and exam skills—how to work when you are in an exam.

If you are studying in the evening, don’t go straight to bed.
