①Birthdays can sometimes be expensive. People often spend money not just on gifts, but also on food and drinks. So many people have started giving second-hand gifts. But is it a good choice? Let's look at both sides.
②One reason people choose second-hand gifts is for the environment. Many of us have old toys, books or games that we no longer use. If we throw them away, they end up in landfills（垃圾堆）. In these landfills, things can take years to break down and harmful gases are produced. Giving away old things instead of throwing them away can reduce waste and protect the environment. Second-hand gifts are also often cheaper than new ones. What's more, reusing things reduces the need to produce more products, which also reduces pollution.
③ △ When you give a new gift, you know it's in perfect condition, and it feels special because it's new. People also like receiving something that shows you' ve thought about them, and sometimes, a second-hand gift might not feel as thoughtful. You may worry that the gift will wear out soon, which can make you feel uncertain about giving it. People may also feel excited when they receive gifts they have wanted for a long time. Of course, it's fine to want the latest toys or books for a birthday gift. After all, it's their special day.
④In the end, whether you give a second-hand or new gift depends on the situation. Both can show you care, but it's important to consider what the birthday person would like the most. What matters most is the thought behind the gift, no matter if it's new or old.
