Read and answer the following questions.

Every year, when the school term comes to an end, parents face the same question: what should they give the teacher? Some schools have clear rules about this, while others leave the decision completely up to families. In some places, the parents' association collects money and buys one gift for each teacher. In others, parents simply choose whatever they think is best. Some families spend hours looking for the perfect present, while others prefer to make something at home instead.

If you have no idea what to buy, books are always a safe choice. Most bookstores have a special section for gift books, and poetry collections make particularly good presents for teachers. Blank notebooks that can be used as diaries are popular too. However, if you are still not sure which book to pick, a gift card might be the easiest solution. You decide how much to spend, and the teacher can then choose their own book or anything else in the store. Restaurants and coffee shops often sell gift cards as well — just make sure you pick a place you know the teacher actually enjoys.

Another thoughtful option is to find out what the teacher needs for their classroom. Teachers often want specific books or DVDs to support their lessons, but their school doesn't always have the money to buy them. It's worth talking to the school librarian first, because they usually know exactly what each teacher is looking for. You could also give books directly to the library, or pay for a magazine subscription that the whole class can benefit from.

Perhaps the best gift of all, though, costs almost nothing. A short, kind note from a student can mean more to a teacher than any expensive present. Many teachers keep every single note they receive, and some even pin them to their classroom wall. On difficult days, they look at these messages and remember why they chose such a demanding job in the first place. Add a homemade cookie or a simple coffee mug, and you really can't go wrong.

To suggest different types of gifts for teachers
