17、Liu Mei is going to America to study．She is asking Danny for some advice on the gifts she’ll give to her future foreign friends．（Liu Mei—L；Danny—D）

L：I am going to study in America．So I want to bring some gifts to my foreign friends．I have collected some Chinese food coupons（粮票）．I think they are good gifts，aren't they?

D：  1  If  I were you，I wouldn't bring the food coupons unless I know that the people I'll meet are interested in Chinese history．

L：  2  

D：Sure．I think you can give your friends a box of Chinese candies．some postcards you're your hometown，or some Chinese paper-cuts（剪纸）．

L：  3   

D：To your host family, I think，you may bring something like a photo album of your hometown，a music CD，a box of Chinese tea, or something else that's nice and not too expensive．  4   Something like that should go to someone who really loves them．

L：  5  

D：My pleasure．
