Here is a question from http：//answers@yahoo corn．

      I’ve been invited to a graduation party, but here’s the problem：I don’t know what I’m supposed to bring or if it's necessary for me to bring a gift．                   —Mike   

Answers

    Lucy：People usually give money，but you could just，take a graduation card．Graduation is a personal accomplishment．It’s nice to be able to give and receive，but it isn’t necessary．

      Peter：You can take some pictures at the party and make a remembrance book（纪念册）for your friends I am sure that it is more important that you should be there than give an expensive gift without attending it．

      Richard：Go to Trader Joe’s and buy some nice bottles of wine．They have excellent wines at great prices．Take a card and a bottle of wine to the patty．That way you won’t feel bad about showing up at the party with empty hands．

      Diana：If you don’t have enough money, then just take a card．Maybe even a dish you make if you can cook will be OK．That would be a special gift because it is made by you and your friends will never forget it．
