I'd like to agree to disagree with one of the commenters: from my experience lower middle class also take part in the gift exchanging activity. how much of a bother it is depends on so many factors it's hard to generalize... but creative solutions are out there you just need to be willing to think outside of the box some)) I love giving gifts, personal preferences are either DIY or buying a book, or buying a healthy activity participation ticket, and usually it' is some sort of a combination of the three. I DO NOT do crowded malls. Just NO. also, interestingly, my partner's friends do not feel any need to exchange any gifts when they meet up on birthdays or any meet ups, but they might bring some beer if it's at someone's home) so it really differs from social circle to social circle, even within same class\community\country)

我完全同意。我也不喜欢送礼物。特别是不适用的礼物。如果我要送礼物的话，我直接问别人他们想什么。

Omg I am a beginner learning Chinese and I can not express how much I appreciate your videos! You speak slowly and you repeat words I LOVE IT! Thank you Thank you! Please keep posting more videos Super helpful xie xie ni ❤❤❤

谢谢您拍摄了这部视频。不仅它的内容非常有意思，而且您说的速度和您用的词汇很适合我的水平。对我来说，另一个好外是：虽然您会说英语，但是这里没说英语，只说汉语。我不会说英语😢😊，从开始学中文我发现了汉语老师用英语很多！

Thanks for your videos they are very useful

吃饭。。。说得一点没有错🥰🤩

老师实在太可爱咯🤭

the boy is so cute

Feichang gang xie ni de shipin!! Ni shi yì ge Lao shì tai bang le . Wo hen gaoxing kan Jian zhe ge shipin 👍👍👍👍❤️

Thank you very much, ur videos are amazing. I always wondered why in portuguese it is called cha

Great video. Im hsk4 approaching hsk5 and i could understand 95% of this video. I watched it on 1.5X speed because youre talking so slow, but you speak very clearly. Great content

Very good 👍 🎉

It's very nice

Please make more hsk 4 videos🙏 You are the best! Thanks a lot!

Very good 👍 but you need

Very good 🎉🎉🎉🎉

very good 👍

that was great, thanks. The speed was perfect, the sound quality is crystal clear, and the subtitles are excellent. I loved the story too ! Really looking forward to seeing more from your channel.

I'm glad it's not just me who thinks this ! I hadn't heard that song before, but it's beautiful. Great channel, xie xie :)

听不懂中文的一个朋友走进看到穿着高领毛衣的老师，他问我“这个人是模特吗？”

I'm waiting for moree ❤❤❤❤

Amazing! I have no better words to describe your videos. I've been searching for intermediate comprehensible Mandarin videos like these for a while now. Your way of integrating higher-level vocabulary in such a comprehensible way is absolutely perfect. It's hard to find a balance between videos that are sometimes too easy or too difficult when learning Mandarin using the comprehensible input method. Thank you so much for all your effort in creating these videos!

From my experience, exchange gift on holidays are only for middle/upper middle class people. While poor people usualy can't afford buying food & clothes even once a year for their self let alone for others.

I don't really like Christmas presents. I had thought that for Chinese presents were very important, so I'm very happy to find out it isn't necessarily true. But I think your video is a really good present for me, so thank you very much!

Please more videos with max❤❤❤❤

Please make a video about wishing for Lunar New Year. Thanks you very much

谢谢老师！我很喜欢这种方式的视频。我已经通过了HSK4，我觉得这个视频适合我的水平。而且我跟你一样觉得圣诞节是很大的负担！

我完全同意。我也有这样的感觉。 谢谢你上传的视频。这年我会开始学HSK4，但是我大部分的话听得懂

二家手店？xiuzi is not an HSK term！ as a purely podcast not working！

祝老师新年快乐

Your videos are such a great resource. Thanks for making them.

Next time you travel ( Costa Rica for example) take all the stationary you don’t use with you and leave at local school. I did this when I went to Brazil. Was in a very poor village and they were so happy to receive these things

I tried to find Pin Yin for notebook,all I got was Bi Ji Ben. Not the word you used.?

你好老师我完全同意！这种节日是消费主义，我还记得小的时候如果没收到礼物的意思是你是坏人没有人在乎你。真的很烦不好的传统我都不喜欢。

我跟你同意。我和我的亲戚花很多钱，很多时间。有时候圣诞节以后, 我们开始节省。我的婆婆在九月开始购买礼物。

看到这个视频，我相信我已经懂很多中文了，哈哈。因为老师说很清楚，而且用很多常用的词汇。这视频真学习的宝藏。

Nice video thanks. Plenty of good vocab and sentence structures but spoken clearly and slowly. Took me a long time to train the family out of the Xmas pressie roundabout. It’s basically a kids thing and all the family’s kids are adults now and now we just enjoy the food, drink and company. The other option is Kris Kringle where everyone buys and receives one present. Very Popular these days especially with work and non family groupings.

我和你一样也觉得钢笔用起来很舒服，但我觉得贵所以不舍得买

你 好 Jun 老师. 你 说的对. 我同意. 哪因为我的中文还不太好 我用英语表达我的想法😁. I agree. gift given should be something spontaneous. A thoughtful gestion. You think about this person and gift them Something you know they need or you know they would like because it is something they would buy for themselves. We don't need to wait for a specific date in th year to give someone we appreciate a gift. But like you said we are programmed by the system to the point that it has at times becomes a cold transaction that stresses and burdens us. We've become conditioned by the system. So we are forced on a specific day to buy and give things that the recipient don't even want or need. That's why returning unwanted gifts and exchanging them is a normal thing now. It has become a business indeed. That's why I don't wait for Xmas or birthdays to give a gift to someone I appreciate.

I wonder why I'm able to understand so much, even though I haven't even started HSK 4 or 5 yet.

Merci beaucoup

I never buy gifts and never expect gifts and I am very happy about it 😅

А разве в Китае дарят подарки на Рождество?

我很喜欢这个话题。我也觉得送礼物和收礼物是一种负担。压力太多了。

老师，如果你愿意做我女朋友的话，我保证连一个礼物都不会送给你。

11:06 这也是我不喜欢送礼物的根本原因！我十分同意。有时如果我得到了我不需要的东西，我就会把这个东西转赠给别的朋友了😂 这个话题很有意思，但是我觉得这不是hsk5的。更适合hsk3-4。因为我没看字幕能听懂所有的内容，词汇也不算难 （我刚刚通过hsk4) 辛苦您啦老师～

Xie Xie ni de shìpín . Wo ye bu xihuan you de jiawu. Biru WO bu xihuan Dazao fangzi danshi wo meizi dazao de shì hou WO tīngyīn yuè 👍👍👍👍

And now Xin Nian is coming and even more gifts will be needed. It’s out of control. I feel that Adults should not be exchanging gifts,they should only be for children. P.S. don’t expect a lot of gifts next year Ha! 😃Still waiting for “ super thanks “ so I can gift you.❤🇨🇦

哈喽！新年快乐！新年快乐！ 我祝很多福你。 Jun老师越来越美丽。❤

Jun 老师新年快乐！ 非常有意思的视频👍 对我来说这种视频还蛮适合我（HSK4）的水平，并不是HSK5。 加油您做更多Comprehensible Input的视频吧！
