What's your most valued possession? Can you remember the last gift you received? Did you like it? Do you ever buy 'gifts' for yourself? What's the most expensive thing you ever bought? What is the meaning of "give and take"? What does this mean to you? What do you spend most of your money on? Did you ever receive a gift from someone who wanted it back? Did you ever give someone a gift and later you wanted it back? What do you always carry or have with you? What’s your favorite keepsake from childhood or teenage years? Do you still find it useful, interesting or entertaining? What does it remind you of?

My most valued possession is my laptop. Last gift that I received is a big, very beautiful picture from my family, and I very like it. No, I never bought 'gifts' for myself. All people think differently about phrase "give and take", but I think "give" is better thing because you can make happy yourself and that person that you give something. I never received a gift from someone who wanted it back, they were always glad to make me happy, and I never gave a gift to someone and wanted it back. I have some keepsake from my friend, she gave a singing toy hedgehog when I was leaving my country to remind me her, I find it like very cute and interesting thing.

My teh most valuable possesion is an old Bible that was published in the 1800s. It has old yellow pages and a black leather cover. This Book is valuable because it belonged to my grand-grand-mother. She passed this Book on to her mother, her mother passed it to my grand-mother, my grand-mother to my mother, and my mother to me. It is really interesting to read notes that people who had this Bible made. I like to receive and give gifts. Sometimes, I can buy a gift for myself. It usually happens when I feel that I decerve it. I like to buy gifts for my kids. It is enjoyable to watch their happiness. "Giva and take " means if I give a gift , I exspect something back. I think, it should not be that way. A true gift is only if I give from the bottom of my heart and do not wait for getting something back.

My most valued possession is a violin. Last give I received was an iPhone. I like it very much because apps are so easy to use and convenient. Sometimes, I buy gifts for myself. Most expensive thing I ever bought was a car. I think the meaning of "give and take" is when I give something to someone and expecting something back from that person. It doesn't really mean anything to me I spend the most money on cosmetics.I have yet to experience someone who wanted to have the gift back.I had to ask one time to give back the gift because it was given to the wrong person. I always carry my cellphone. My favorite keepsake from childhood is a violin concerto tape.I still find it interesting and useful because it inspired me to major violin performance in college. It reminds me of how I fell in love with the sound of violin.

My most valued possession is my car. My laptop was the last gift that I received from my cousin and I really liked it. I never buy gifts for myself. My car was the most expensive thing that I ever bought. I think the meaning of “give and take" is to give a little and take a little in return. This is an important part of everyone’s life. I never received or gave a gift to someone then wanted the gift back . I always carry my phone. My favorite keepsake is my old pictures from childhood to teenage years and I keep them with me even now. I often open my old pictures and look them so I can remember the great time I had growing up.

The most valued item for me is a ring that my grandmother gave me. I remember my last gift. That gave me my friend on Valentine's Day; he gave me a teddy bear. I never bought the "gifts" for myself. For all the people "give and take" has a different meaning. For me, "give and take" means to give something to people that he was pleased, and take, if a person wants to make nice to me. I think it's important and give and take, because these people are making each other happy. I never received a gift that you would like it back. Also, I never wanted to take back a gift that someone I gave. My favorite item is a ring, which gave the grandmother. It reminds me that she loved me when she was alive.

The last gift that I remember was the ring from my boyfriend on Christmas. I often buy myself gifts all the time. I work hard and I think I deserve it. I love shopping. I often buy myself clothes and jewelry and I buy others gifts too. I never give someone a gift and later wanted it back. When I buy something for someone I want it to be for them and want them to like it. I love to give and I never want anything back in returned.

Gifts make for holidays in many countries. It is a tradition for people in the world. When, I have visit. I always take a gift. The gift is a way to attend. It could be anything, depending on the holiday. Gift it is thing to give for the memory. Also, it makes people happy. My family presented me laptop. It was a very useful gift for me. Also, girlfriend presented me a little statue. It stands on my desk and reminds me about her. I like to do gifts because it makes people happy.

My most valued possession is a property in Romania. That was the most important thing my husband and I bought together and we love it very much. The last present I received is a ring that I saw in the jewelry store, and my husband bought it for me. I never buy expensive gifts. The most expensive thing I bought here is our car. Things I always have with me are the earrings received as a gift from my husband when we had 25 years of marriage .I never gave a present to somebody and later I wanted it back. A gift is a gift, after you give it, it’s no longer yours. You can’t ask it back. But, sometimes you can regret your generosity.

I am a very fortunate person because I usually have everything that I need. My most valued possession would probably be my laptop. The last gift I received was a beanie and I liked it since it was warm. I usually buy gifts for myself such as cellphones since they are usually fun. The most expensive thing I have ever bought was my laptop since it was very expensive. I don’t know what it means to “give and take” but I think it means you give someone a present and someone gives you a present in return. Usually I spend my money on small electronics. I have never received a gift that someone wanted back and I have never given a gift that someone wanted back. I always have my cellphone with me. I don’t really have a keepsake from my childhood that I keep with me.

My most valued possession is the land.I can remember the last gift that I received. I like it so much. I buy gifts for my self.The most expensive thing that I bought is a car. The meaning of "give and take" means a mutual concessions, shared benefits and cooperation. This means for me; the practice of compromise. I spend most of my money on the house rent and the fuel. I didn't receive a gift from someone who wanted it back, and also I didn't give someone a gift and later I wanted it back.Things that I always carry or have with me is a gift . My favorite keepsake ( somethings given or kept ) from childhood or teenager years is the photo album. I still find it useful, interesting, or entertaining. It remind me of my childhood or teenager biography ( a written account of a person's life or life history.

My most valued possession is a jewelry box that I received from my husband a long time ago. The last gift I received was a gift card to my favorite store Macys. I loved this gift because I could buy anything I like from my favorite store. Sometimes I like to buy little gifts for myself. The most expensive thing I ever bought for myself was a flat screen TV. I think to give is to present a gift to someone and to take is to keep for yourself. I spend a lot of my money on food and shopping. I never received a gift from someone who wanted it back and I never gave a gift and wanted it back. I always carry my purse with me. My favorite keepsake is pictures and cards. I still find it interesting to look back on the pictures. It reminds me off my childhood and all the good old memories.

I love giving gifts, as well as receive them! I do not know which of the gifts was the most expensive for me. Because it is expensive for the value of gifts, and gifts are dear to the heart. When the get all the gift, you can see in this care and attention from a man who gives it and get very nice. And when you give, you see a man happy and also feel joy, because you delaesh account to another. I never wanted to pick up the donated gift back. I think if you gave, it is no longer yours. In my life there was a case where a gift was taken back. It was awful! After that I disliked this man was and I never take gifts from him. Since childhood I have pstalis favorite books about many things remind me now.

My most valued possession is my car a 94 Camaro z28. I value this car because its very fast and it was never let me down. Its all white with a black convertible top, it was twenty inch chrome IRock rims with black smoked out bumper lights and also loud flowmasters. Its a beauty. The car cost me about 3500 dollars i had never had that much money go away within seconds. If i were buy someone a gift i would never ask for it back, i think thats being selfish and makes that person look cheap, lowclass.
