Intro
“It’s the thought that counts.” That’s what we say when someone gives us a gift that doesn’t quite suit us. But how much does the thought really count? It depends. Some people think presents aren’t very important, or get stressed out trying to pick out gifts for their friends. But others believe that giving gifts shows how much you care, and always look for presents that are special and personal.
Vocab
Example I love to pick out clothes for other people.
Example The boss picked out her favorite applicant, and we will hire him.
Example Jessica is still looking at the clothes. She hasn’t picked anything out.
Example I just read a personal account of a man's experience in jail. He made it sound like a terrible place. I definitely don't want to experience it myself!
