Far from being selfless gestures, giving gifts creates a
personal debt
It would be nice to believe that gifts are genuine
tokens of affection, given without any expectation of
recompense. (Indeed, Merriam-Webster dictionary defines
“gift” as something “voluntarily transferred” and “without
compensation.”) But if you’ve ever had the niggling sense
that something other than selflessness drives the presents
you dutifully exchange with friends and family, then
sociology has your back.
Dimitri Mortelmans, sociology professor at
Antwerp University in Belgium, explains that there is far
more to gifting than meets the eye. “Gift-giving is one of
the ancient early topics in sociology,” he says. “There’s a
whole world behind gift-giving that goes very close to the
basics of living together.” Gift giving, after all, is a physical
symbol of a personal relationship and an expression of
social ties that bring individuals together.
Far from being voluntary, the 20th century French
sociologist Marcel Mauss argues that presents are tied up
with strict obligations. “To refuse to give, to fail to invite,
just as to refuse to accept, is tantamount to declaring war;
it is to reject the bond of ___________ and ___________,”
he wrote in his 1925 essay “The Gift.” A present is a token
of a relationship and a wish to continue that relationship
and so, in rejecting a gift, the offer of extended friendship
is also rebuffed.
This gift exchange can be summarized by the
Latin phrase: Do Ut des: “I give because I expect you to
give something back.”
We see such attitudes among families and friends,
where each person gives out presents worth roughly the
same price. This behavior is particularly obvious in the
more pressured stakes of a new romantic relationship,
where buying an overly lavish present (or a particularly
stingy one) could send the wrong signal and cause upset.
A gift doesn’t necessarily have to be exchanged
for another gift. “You don’t need to repay the things given
to you in a material way. You can also be nice or perform
some other kind of behavior,” says Mortelmans. So for
example, someone who can’t afford to buy a gift in return
might be especially affectionate or helpful.

Phrasal verbs are very used on a daily basis. One simple particle
may change the whole meaning of it. In the sentence from
Michael Buble’s song he sings: “And I know someday that it'll all
turn up
You'll make me work so we can work to work it out
And I promise you kid that I'll give so much more than I get yeah
I just haven't met you yet.”
Consider the phrasal verb turn up. Read the sentences below and mark the one that has the same meaning as in the song.

Teaching English in Brazil
The largest country in South America, Brazil has
recently emerged as an international economic
powerhouse, creating unprecedented demand for
certified English language teachers. English
teachers typically find work between March and
August.
While a very limited number of English language
schools interview teachers in advance over the
phone and via e-mail, the best way to find a job is
on the ground in Brazil during an in-person
interview. English teachers in Brazil are responsible
for their airfare and housing. Most live in
apartments recently vacated by previous teachers,
and many share accommodations with coworkers.
English teachers can afford a comfortable lifestyle
in Brazil. Schools typically offer 20 to 25 hours of
work per week, leaving plenty of time to travel and
explore. Please note that while a Bachelor's degree
is not required to secure a job in Brazil, it still can
be strongly preferred by employers. If you do not
have a degree, you should be prepared for a more
competitive job search.
Please also note that it is not common to obtain a
work visa in Brazil. English teachers typically
work under the table on a tourist visa. It is common
practice, but it is not technically a legal work visa.
Should you choose to work under the table, it is
your responsibility to be informed of the potential
consequences of working on a tourist visa.
TEFL certification is typically required. English
teaching jobs are concentrated in the larger cities
such as Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Recife, Salvador,
and Brasilia.

Brazil, check out our Brazil Resource Hub!
The use of should in the sentence “Should you
choose to work under the table, it is your
responsibility to be informed of the potential
consequences of working on a tourist visa” (4th
paragraph), is correctly explained in the alternative:

Pete is talking to his English teacher about the strategies he has been using to study at home. He seems to have forgotten the phrasal verbs he was studying and trying to use during this conversation in order to impress the teacher. Read an extract of their dialogue:
(…)
(Pete) – Phrasal verbs are so difficult! Well, I have been studying really, really hard. I have to learn so many things before the tests. There are some things I have been doing… For example, I try to… to…
memorize the expressions by reading them out loud several times a day.
(Teacher) – What else have you been doing that you consider effective?
(Pete) – I try to use the expressions and new words in stories… but often times they don’t… they don’t… make sense.
(Teacher) – There’s a phrasal verb for that.
(Pete) – I can’t remember it! I have to understand how I learn better…
(Teacher) – Maybe you are exaggerating a bit.
(Pete) – I am not. I have problems… reaching the same level of my classmates.
(Teacher) – I don’t agree with you, but if you feel you need to improve, we can talk about this later.
(Pete) – That would be great! Thank you!
If Pete had remembered the phrasal verbs he wanted
to use in the conversation with his teacher in order to
replace the expressions in bold, they would have
followed this order:
