× I am quite fond of giving gifts to others because it helps to strengthen the bond with our loved ones.
✓ I am quite fond of giving gifts to others because it helps to strengthen the bond with my loved ones.
The student used the possessive determiner 'our' which is vague in a personal response; 'my loved ones' is more appropriate and consistent. Use the correct possessive pronoun to match the speaker's perspective.
× Moreover, I mostly give handmade gifts to others, which shows my efforts and hard work for them, and it also helps others to feel special for us.
✓ Moreover, I mostly give handmade gifts to others, which shows my effort and hard work for them, and it also helps others to feel special.
Use 'effort' (uncountable) rather than 'efforts' in this context and remove 'for us' because it is unnecessary and causes pronoun mismatch. Also 'feel special' is complete without 'for us.' Keep pronouns consistent with the speaker's viewpoint.
× Talk in Turkey, I usually give gifts to others on some special occasions such as birthday parties and weddings which helps to make memories and it also helps me to feel over the moon whenever I give gifts to other because it enhance the respect of me in the eyes of others.
✓ Back in Turkey, I usually give gifts to others on special occasions such as birthday parties and weddings, which helps to make memories, and it also makes me feel over the moon whenever I give gifts to others because it enhances my respect in the eyes of others.
'Talk in Turkey' is incorrect; use 'Back in Turkey' or 'In Turkey.' 'on some special occasions' -> 'on special occasions' is more natural. 'give gifts to other' -> 'give gifts to others' plural. 'enhance' needs third-person singular 'enhances' to agree with singular subject and 'the respect of me' should be 'my respect.' Also punctuation needed to separate clauses.
× I usually considered a recipient's taste and hobbies when choosing a gift because people prefer different things.
✓ I usually consider a recipient's taste and hobbies when choosing a gift because people prefer different things.
The adverb 'usually' indicates a habitual present action, so the verb should be present simple 'consider' not past 'considered.' Maintain consistent tense for habits.
× For example, I will buy books for an avid reader or kitchen gadgets for someone who enjoys cooking.
✓ For example, I buy books for an avid reader or kitchen gadgets for someone who enjoys cooking.
The previous sentence discusses general habits, so use present simple 'I buy' rather than future 'I will buy.' No article error; however change tense to match context.
× So the gift feels personal and useful, and it also helps me to feel the appreciated by others.
✓ So the gift feels personal and useful, and it also helps me to feel appreciated by others.
'the appreciated' is incorrect; remove the definite article. 'Feel appreciated' is the correct collocation. Also 'helps me to feel appreciated' is concise.
× Yes definitely. I mostly give handmade gifts to others because it shows our efforts and hard works to other and it is also liked by others because it is made by love and respect.
✓ Yes, definitely. I mostly give handmade gifts to others because they show my effort and hard work, and they are also liked by others because they are made with love and respect.
Pronoun and agreement issues: 'it shows' should be 'they show' to match plural 'gifts.' Use singular 'effort' and 'hard work' (uncountable). 'to other' -> 'by others' or removed; better 'they are liked by others.' Use 'made with love and respect' (correct preposition).
× For example on my best friend birthday every year I give her a bouquet which is a handmade.
✓ For example, on my best friend's birthday every year I give her a bouquet that is handmade.
Missing possessive apostrophe: 'my best friend birthday' -> 'my best friend's birthday.' Use 'a bouquet that is handmade' or 'a handmade bouquet.' Include commas for clarity.
× According to my perspective, any luxury gifts does not express our feelings for others because gifts are given with love and respect.
✓ From my perspective, luxury gifts do not express our feelings for others because gifts are given with love and respect.
Subject-verb agreement: 'gifts' is plural so use 'do not' not 'does not.' 'Any luxury gifts' is awkward; 'luxury gifts' is sufficient. 'According to my perspective' -> 'From my perspective' is more natural.
× Money does not matter in the in choosing the gift because it depends upon person to person and it is based on care and love, not with money.
✓ Money does not matter in choosing a gift because it depends from person to person and it is based on care and love, not on money.
Remove duplicated 'the in.' Use 'depends from person to person' or better 'varies from person to person.' Use preposition 'on' with 'based on' and 'not on money.'
