1. That's an interesting question. It depends. I think possessions can make people happy, yes. For example, you're working really hard for your exams and then someone buys you a 'good luck' present. I think that would make people happy. Lots of people own expensive objects but they feel sad. In my opinion, I think friends and family make people happier than objects.

2. My most important possession is probably my mobile phone. I always carry it in my bag and I use it every day. I think my parents' important possessions are probably big things like cars or houses. I think family photos are probably more important to my mother. I suppose young people think modern, electrical things are more important than big, expensive objects.

3. Yes, absolutely. I love shopping. It's a relaxing activity for me and I spend lots of my free time going to the shopping mall. It's relaxing because you can meet your friends and go shopping together. I like shopping online too. When the shopping mall is very busy or when you are really tired, you can look online and then buy things.

4. That's interesting. Let me see. I really enjoy giving presents to people. I like thinking about the present, buying it and wrapping it. When the person opens the present, it makes me feel satisfied. But I like getting presents too. I got this coat for my birthday and I've worn it every day since my birthday. I think it's better to receive a present.
