Gifts— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Improve clarity and grammar: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid hesitations and repetition, and use correct grammar (e.g., "I suppose I am good at giving gifts because they show how much I care and the effort I put in"). Keep it concise (1–2 sentences) and natural.

Example: I think I'm good at giving gifts because I try to choose items that show how much I care and the effort I put in. For example, I often select presents that match the recipient's hobbies or needs to make them feel understood.

Suggestion: Make the answer more concise and use linking words to explain reasons. Correct word order and phrasing: say "I usually give gifts on occasions such as birthdays or farewells because..." Provide one specific example to be more concrete.

Example: I usually give gifts on occasions such as birthdays or farewells because these moments call for more thoughtful presents. For instance, I once gave a personalized photo album at a colleague's farewell to remind them of our times together.

Suggestion: Improve sentence structure and specificity. Start with a topic sentence, then list 2–3 specific considerations using linking words (firstly, secondly). Avoid vague phrases like "not in every way."

Example: When choosing a gift, I consider two main things. Firstly, whether it is meaningful and reflects the person's personality, and secondly, whether it is useful or durable—for example, a handcrafted mug for a coffee lover that they can use for years.

Suggestion: Reduce hesitations and use precise vocabulary. Begin with a direct answer, then give one clear example with short supporting details. Replace awkward expressions like "stripped all the memories" with "included memories" or "collected our memories."

Example: Yes, I have given handmade gifts several times. For example, I made a card filled with photos and short notes about our shared memories, and my friend said it was very touching.

Suggestion: Answer directly and use correct structures for opinions: "No, I don't think expensive gifts necessarily express feelings." Then explain with reasons and a brief example. Use linking words like "because" and "for example."

Example: No, I don't think expensive gifts necessarily express feelings because thoughtfulness matters more than price. For example, a handmade scrapbook can be more meaningful to a close friend than an expensive but impersonal item.

× I'm I suppose that I'm excellent at giving gifts to other because it reflects how how much care for that person, how much efforts I'm willing to do.

✓ I suppose that I'm excellent at giving gifts to others because it reflects how much I care for that person and how much effort I'm willing to make.

Errors: 'I'm I suppose' is incorrect word order and extra 'I'm'; 'to other' should be 'to others' (plural); double 'how' repeated; 'how much care for that person' missing subject 'I'; 'how much efforts' should be 'how much effort' (uncountable); 'I'm willing to do' is unnatural, use 'I'm willing to make' or 'I am willing to do for them'. Suggestion: Remove extra 'I'm', use plural 'others', include subject before verb, use uncountable 'effort', and use natural collocation 'willing to make' or 'willing to do' with an object.

× Usually I prefer to give gifts on occasion like birthdays or farewell because it is that one occasion when you really want to reflect your thoughtful gift and reflect the person of how you feel about that particular occasion.

✓ Usually I prefer to give gifts on occasions like birthdays or farewells because these are times when you want your thoughtful gift to reflect how you feel about the person.

Errors: 'on occasion' should be plural 'on occasions'; 'farewell' as countable event should be 'farewells' or 'a farewell'; 'it is that one occasion when' is awkward and ungrammatical; 'reflect your thoughtful gift and reflect the person of how you feel' is redundant and incorrect word order. Suggestion: Use plural 'occasions', simplify to 'times when', use correct object order 'your thoughtful gift to reflect how you feel about the person'.

× I prefer giving thoughtful gifts which the person will cherish for whole life and also that it is useful not in every way like he or she can preserve it for life and also can remind them about us of how we deeply thought for them.

✓ I prefer giving thoughtful gifts that the person will cherish for their whole life and that are useful, things they can keep for life and that will remind them of how much we thought about them.

Errors: 'which the person will cherish for whole life' missing article 'their'; relative clause should be 'that the person will cherish'; 'also that it is useful not in every way' is ungrammatical—use 'that are useful'; 'he or she' can be streamlined to 'they' for general reference; 'preserve it for life' is awkward, use 'keep for life'; 'remind them about us of how we deeply thought for them' has wrong word order and prepositions. Suggestion: Use relative clauses with 'that', include possessive 'their', use 'useful' as adjective for gifts, and correct prepositions 'remind them of'.

× I suppose I have given handmade gifts to my friends, uh, various times and uh, I remember this one time I made a handmade, uh, card for them and I have stripped all the memories of us into that.

✓ I suppose I have given handmade gifts to my friends several times, and I remember one time I made a handmade card for them and put all our memories into it.

Errors: 'various times' is acceptable but 'several times' sounds more natural; 'this one time' should be 'one time'; 'I have stripped all the memories of us into that' uses wrong verb 'stripped' and wrong preposition; use past simple 'put' or present perfect 'have put' depending on context—here past simple 'put' fits with 'I remember'. Suggestion: Use 'several times', 'one time', and the verb 'put' with object 'it' for natural phrasing.

× I don't agree with this question because expenses not exactly reflects your feelings. The more it is better of how the thoughtful gift it is and how the gift will be useful to that person rather than being costed much.

✓ I don't agree with this question because price does not exactly reflect your feelings. What matters more is how thoughtful the gift is and how useful it will be to the person, rather than how expensive it is.

Errors: 'expenses not exactly reflects' has subject-verb agreement and wrong noun choice—use 'price' or 'expense' and match verb 'does not reflect'; 'The more it is better of how the thoughtful gift it is' is ungrammatical; 'being costed much' is incorrect—use 'how expensive it is'. Suggestion: Use 'price does not exactly reflect', correct verb agreement with auxiliary 'does', use clear structure 'what matters more is...', and use collocation 'how expensive it is'.
