Gifts— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be concise and natural. Start with a direct topic sentence, then briefly explain reasons with clear linking words. Avoid redundancies and unclear phrases (e.g., “the giving gifts”, “rather than just packed a red bucket”). Use correct grammar (avoid mixed structures) and limit to 2–3 sentences.

예시: Not really. I often worry the gift might not suit the person, so I usually give money instead. Because it’s practical and avoids awkwardness, my friends appreciate it.

제안: Provide a clear topic sentence then add a linked reason. Use linking words like “because” or “so” and avoid filler sounds. Keep it within 2–3 sentences and give one specific example of a festival if possible.

예시: I usually give gifts during festivals because my whole family gathers to celebrate. For example, at Lunar New Year we exchange presents to show respect and strengthen family ties.

제안: Answer directly with a topic sentence about the main consideration, then support with a specific example. Use correct grammar and linking words like “so” or “for example.” Avoid fragmented sentences and unclear references.

예시: I consider the recipient’s tastes and interests first. For example, if a friend likes handmade items, I often make a toy myself so the gift feels personal and meaningful.

제안: Respond with a clear affirmative statement, then describe one concrete example with correct tense and linking words. Avoid filler words and unclear phrases; keep it to 2–3 sentences. Mention the result or reaction briefly.

예시: Yes. Last year I made a model car for a friend’s birthday, matching his favourite colors and interests. He appreciated it because it felt personal and strengthened our friendship.

제안: Give a clear opinion first, then support it with a concise reason and a short example. Use correct comparative grammar and avoid unclear or incorrect words (e.g., “negligence”). Keep to 2–3 sentences and use linking words such as “because” or “for example.”

예시: No. I think handmade or personal gifts express feelings better than expensive ones because they show thought and care. For example, I once made a special necklace for a friend’s birthday and she was very touched despite it not being costly.

× No, I'm not really skilled at the giving gifts because I'm so afraid that the present I choose may not be suitable for this person and instead of directly giving an actual gift, I rather than just packed a red bucket, just give the money to my friends.

✓ No, I'm not really skilled at giving gifts because I'm so afraid that the present I choose may not be suitable for the person, so instead of giving an actual gift directly, I usually just put the money in a red envelope and give it to my friends.

Errors: unnecessary definite article before 'giving gifts' (should be gerund phrase 'giving gifts'), awkward structure 'instead of directly giving an actual gift, I rather than just packed...' and wrong verb forms. Suggestions: Remove 'the' before 'giving gifts'; use a clear contrast structure ('so instead of... I usually...'); use 'put the money in a red envelope' (common collocation) and consistent present simple tense for habitual actions. Grammar IDs applicable: 8 (Verb + -ing form) and 22 (Article errors).

✓ I usually give gifts during festivals because my whole family gets together to celebrate, and giving presents shows my respect to my relatives and also strengthens our relationships.

Errors: unnecessary definite article 'the' before 'festivals' (article error), incorrect verb form 'will get together' (future used instead of habitual present), gerund phrase 'giving presents to show to my relatives' is awkward and missing verb agreement ('shows' not 'show'). Suggestions: Use simple present 'gets' for habitual action, remove 'the' when speaking generally about festivals, use 'giving presents shows' and place objects correctly. Grammar IDs applicable: 6 (Present tense issue), 8 (Verb + -ing form), 22 (Article errors), 27 (Subject-verb agreement errors).

× When choosing to give that thing about a person's taste and interest.

✓ When choosing a gift, I consider the person's taste and interests.

Errors: sentence fragment lacking a main verb and unclear structure (sentence without a verb), awkward phrase 'give that thing about'. Suggestions: Use a complete clause with clear subject and verb: 'When choosing a gift, I consider...' and pluralize 'interest' to 'interests' to match general usage. Grammar IDs applicable: 23 (Sentence without a verb), 1 (Singular and plural issue).

× If a friend's like a handmade toy is often made myself and presented as a gift to her, which represented my uh, personal and meaningful.

✓ If a friend likes handmade toys, I often make them myself and present them as gifts, which represent something personal and meaningful.

Errors: incorrect use of possessive/apostrophe ('a friend's' wrong), subject-verb agreement ('friend likes'), incorrect reflexive phrasing 'made myself' (should be 'I make them myself'), wrong relative clause tense 'represented' should agree with present context, and plural/singular mismatch. Suggestions: Use 'a friend likes' or 'if a friend likes handmade toys'; use 'I make them myself' and 'which represent something personal and meaningful.' Grammar IDs applicable: 12 (Incorrect use of pronouns/apostrophe), 27 (Subject-verb agreement), 9 (Past participle misuse), 1 (Singular and plural issue).

× Yes, the last year one of my friend who had a birthday is on designed uh car models based on his interest and favorite colors, an AD and a.

✓ Yes, last year one of my friends had a birthday, so I designed car models based on his interests and favorite colors.

Errors: wrong article 'the last year' (should be 'last year'), singular/plural mismatch 'one of my friend' -> 'one of my friends', incorrect tense and word order 'is on designed' and extraneous fragments. Suggestions: Use 'last year' for time reference, 'one of my friends', and past simple 'I designed' for a completed action. Grammar IDs applicable: 5 (Past tense issue), 22 (Article errors), 1 (Singular and plural issue), 26 (Sentence structure errors).

× He was really appreciated because it feels personal and also miss our relationship meaningful.

✓ He really appreciated it because it felt personal and also made our relationship more meaningful.

Errors: 'He was really appreciated' incorrectly passive; should be 'He really appreciated it' (active). Tense inconsistency: 'it feels' should be past 'felt'. 'miss our relationship meaningful' is ungrammatical; use 'made our relationship more meaningful'. Suggestions: Use active voice for reactions, keep past tense consistent for past events, and use 'made ... more meaningful' to express effect. Grammar IDs applicable: 21 (Incorrect passive voice), 5 (Past tense issue), 13 (Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs).

× No really I think a personal or handmade gifts can express the feelings better than the high price because they show the thoughts and personal.

✓ No, I think personal or handmade gifts can express feelings better than expensive ones because they show thoughtfulness and personality.

Errors: article and number mismatch 'a personal or handmade gifts' (should be plural without 'a'), awkward phrase 'the high price' (use 'expensive ones'), and incorrect noun choices 'the thoughts and personal' (should be 'thoughtfulness and personality'). Suggestions: Remove incorrect article, match plural noun forms, use appropriate nouns 'thoughtfulness' and 'personality', and prefer succinct phrasing. Grammar IDs applicable: 22 (Article errors), 1 (Singular and plural issue), 13 (Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs).

× One of my friends had a birthday last years and I designed a special necklace for her and she feels it was a A.

✓ One of my friends had a birthday last year and I designed a special necklace for her, and she felt it was very special.

Errors: 'last years' should be singular 'last year' (time expression), 'she feels it was a A' is awkward and inconsistent tense; use past 'she felt' and replace unclear 'a A' with 'very special'. Suggestions: Use correct time expressions ('last year'), keep past tense for past events, and use clear adjectives. Grammar IDs applicable: 5 (Past tense issue), 22 (Article errors), 13 (Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs).

× She loved this negligence and it was appreciated that although it was.

✓ She loved this necklace and appreciated it, even though it was simple.

Errors: 'negligence' is wrong word choice for 'necklace'; 'it was appreciated that although it was' is ungrammatical and incomplete. Suggestions: Use correct noun 'necklace', state appreciation clearly ('she appreciated it'), and finish the contrast with a clear adjective like 'simple'. Grammar IDs applicable: 13 (Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs), 26 (Sentence structure errors)}]})}
