First speaker: The worst Christmas present I was ever given was a Tamagotchi which was twenty-four pets, all in one. So when one died you could just delete it and move on to the next one. So not a very good present at all.
Second speaker: I was once given a travel hairdryer, which was bizarre because at the time I had really short hair and also very rarely travelled. So er ... it failed on both counts.
Third speaker: One Christmas I was given an alarm clock which was also a stationery pot, and as I opened it in front of the person that gave it to me it didn’t turn on. Errr ... which was really embarrassing. I threw it away, but now I know not to. I should recycle.
Fourth speaker: I was once given a personal attack alarm which you could attach to your keys. However, when I would start my car engine, the alarm would fall off and start going off. Then I wouldn’t be able to find it because it would fall underneath my car seat. So I would be in the car with the alarm going off. Not helpful!

I have received presents from my family
I have never received bad presents from my family or my friends and I believe I've never given a bad one to anyone.But if I ever received a bad present I wouldn't mind because that would mean that the person who gave it to me thought and cared about me.

Tje worst present that i ever received was of a friend og mine,a top it was too big and we couldn´t ruturn it ´cause my friend didn´t keep the receipt,it was a shame because it was a really beautiful top and on top of that it was purple,my favorite color.:-(
I have never received wors presents,
I never received a bad gift and i am very grateful to the person that gives me a gift. At the end of the day, it`s the thought that counts. it`s not about receiving it`s about GIVING.
I have done the multiple choice exercise just to find out that the correct answer to question 1/6 is B(24 pets) rather than A(4 pets). It is quite confusing.
Hi Jerry. Thanks for your comment! Yes, it's 24 pets. Do you use the transcript? After the exercises, it's a good idea to listen to the video again and read the transcript at the same time. :) What did you think of the video?

I never receive worst gift i think, in my birthday my sisters gave me beautiful gifts. When i lived in Purwakarta, my neighbour held wedding and the guests usually gave some gifts or money in envelope. She told me that she found few empty envelopes, so she received the envelopes only without money inside. Poor my neighbour!
I have ever received beautiful gifts.
