Gifts— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and natural. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition, correct pronoun and word choice, and limit to 2–3 sentences. Add a brief reason with a linking word (because/so) and use correct pronouns and tense.

Example: Yes, I think I'm good at giving gifts because I try to choose items that suit my friends' tastes. For example, I often buy something practical or related to their hobbies so the gift feels personal.

Suggestion: Give a clear concise answer naming occasions and correct errors. Avoid unclear words like 'Mon' and redundant phrases. Use linking words (for example, usually/mostly) and provide one specific occasion with brief detail.

Example: I usually give gifts on special occasions, especially birthdays. For instance, every year I prepare a small present for close friends and either give it to them in person or send it by post.

Suggestion: Begin with a direct topic sentence, then add one or two specific criteria with linking words. Fix grammar (singular/plural, word order) and be specific about examples of 'useful' or 'suitable'. Keep to 2–3 sentences.

Example: The most important things I consider are usefulness and suitability for the recipient. For example, I choose a reusable water bottle for someone who exercises, or a book for a friend who loves reading.

Suggestion: Answer directly and combine short sentences using linking words. Use natural phrasing (handwritten cards) and correct tense. Give a brief specific example of what you write to make it more vivid.

Example: Not usually, but I often give handwritten cards to friends. In the cards I usually write a personal message thanking them for their friendship and mentioning a memorable experience we shared.

Suggestion: State your opinion clearly then support it with a concise reason and an example. Avoid fillers (uh) and correct adjectives/adverbs (genuine). Use linking words like 'because' or 'as'. Keep to 2–3 sentences.

Example: I don't think expensive gifts are better at expressing feelings because price doesn't show thoughtfulness. For example, a small handmade gift or a thoughtful note can feel more meaningful than an expensive but impersonal item.

× Actually, I'm good at giving gifts because when I think this present is very suitable for my friends and I will just buy it and send to her.

✓ Actually, I'm good at giving gifts because when I think a present is very suitable for my friend I just buy it and give it to her.

Pronoun errors: 'my friends and I' is incorrect in context — speaker means a single friend so use 'my friend'. Using 'and I' made the subject wrong. Also 'send to her' is awkward for giving a gift; use 'give it to her'. Use 'a present' instead of 'this present' unless referring to a specific item. Keep verb forms consistent and remove unnecessary 'will' simple present fits habitual action.

× I think it's on a Mon on a yearly basis because when someone has their birthday and I will prepare the presents that's suitable for them and send to them.

✓ I think it's once a month or yearly, because when someone has a birthday I prepare presents that are suitable for them and give them to the person.

Preposition and time expression errors: 'on a Mon' is unclear; use 'once a month' or state 'once a year'. 'On a yearly basis' duplicates meaning — choose one. Remove unnecessary 'and' before 'I will' and use simple present for habitual actions ('I prepare'). 'That's suitable' should be 'that are suitable' to agree with plural 'presents'. 'Send to them' is better as 'give them to the person'.

× Actually, I would The most important things that I will consider is The thing is useful or whether it's suitable for my friends or not, because I hope they can use in their daily lives or just think.

✓ Actually, the most important thing I consider is whether the gift is useful and suitable for my friend, because I hope they can use it in their daily life or simply appreciate it.

Adjective/adverb and noun agreement: 'The most important things' conflicts with 'is' — use singular 'thing' with 'is' or plural with 'are'. Capitalization errors removed. 'I would' is unnecessary. Use 'whether' to introduce alternatives and include 'it' after 'use'. 'Daily life' is the correct singular noun. Clarify 'or just think' to 'or simply appreciate it' for meaning.

× Actually, not really, but I will write. I will write handwriting cards to my friends. I will write down some words that I want to say to them in the course.

✓ Actually, not really, but I do write handwritten cards to my friends. I write down some words I want to say to them in those cards.

Tense and word choice: Using future 'I will' is incorrect for habitual behavior; use present simple ('I do write' or 'I write'). 'Handwriting cards' is incorrect; use 'handwritten cards'. 'In the course' is wrong context — use 'in those cards'. Keep tense consistent and choose correct noun forms.

× Uh, from my perspective, I did not really, because the price of the presents may not express your, uh, real meaning to others.

✓ From my perspective, not really, because the price of a present does not necessarily express your true feelings to others.

Comparison/word choice: 'I did not really' is awkward; 'not really' suffices. Use singular 'a present' for a general statement. 'May not express your, uh, real meaning' is awkward — use 'does not necessarily express your true feelings'. Replace filler 'uh' and use consistent present tense for general truth.

× You just need to prepare something that can express your genuinely heart to others, that's all.

✓ You just need to prepare something that can express your genuine feelings to others, that's all.

Pronoun and adjective form: 'your genuinely heart' mixes an adverb 'genuinely' with a noun 'heart' incorrectly. Use adjective 'genuine' with 'feelings' or 'heart' as noun phrase 'your genuine heart' though 'genuine feelings' is more natural. Ensure noun and modifier agree.
