For this topic, I would like to describe that one gift that I have given to my best friend, Ying. And it is also the most significant present that I put all my heart, days by days, time and my affection for her, just to give it to her in her birthday. It is a teddy bear made from wool, and I made it by myself. I learned how to do crochet, and then I made this gift for her as a souvenir. So she would show whenever she hold this teddy bear, it will always remind her of my picture and my affection that I show to her. It is, as I said, it is a very significant present because it contains all of my affection that I give it to my best friend, the time that I have to spend days by days, just to make it wholeheartedly. So the impact of it is so profound that I could not compare it to any present that I gave to anyone before. I mean, some of my presents are bought by my mother, so it is just a way to show that I remember their birthday, not the way to show that I how I love them. So compared to this present, it is more significant and profound. I don’t know why I decided to give this particular gift, maybe because I find that now I know how to do crochet, so I could try to make something for my loved ones. And it turns out to be the best experience in both my minds and my best friend’s mind.

For this topic, I would like to describe the one gift that I have given to my best friend, Ying. It is also the most significant present that I put all my heart, day by day, time, and affection into, just to give it to her on her birthday. It is a teddy bear made from wool, and I made it myself. I learned how to crochet, and then I made this gift for her as a souvenir. Whenever she holds this teddy bear, it will always remind her of my love and affection for her. As I said, it is a very significant present because it contains all of my affection that I give to my best friend, the time that I spent day by day, just to make it wholeheartedly. The impact of it is so profound that I could not compare it to any present I have given to anyone before. Some of my presents are bought by my mother, so they are just a way to show that I remember their birthday, not a way to show how I love them. Compared to this present, it is more significant and profound. I don't know why I decided to give this particular gift; maybe because I found that I now know how to crochet, so I could try to make something for my loved ones. It turned out to be the best experience for both my mind and my best friend's mind.
