Two months ago, I went to abroad for further study. Before I left, I given a lot of presents. Between them, there were two presents which real interested me. My sister bought me a book with color picture about body language and with words about customs of different countries in them. My brother gave me a note, which reads: My present has been put in your bedroom. When I went into my bedroom, I found a box, in that there was a electronic dictionary. I was very glad and a little surprising to receive these two presents.
