Gifts— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more direct and clear: start with a topic sentence stating your ability, then briefly explain how you choose gifts with clear linking words. Avoid fillers (like, um) and unclear phrases (we should give that). Use specific verbs and a concise structure.

Example: Yes, I think I'm good at giving gifts. I usually try to match the gift to the recipient's interests, so I pay attention to what they like and choose something related to their hobbies or tastes.

Suggestion: Answer directly with a clear topic sentence and specific occasions. Use linking words to list examples and correct awkward phrasing (e.g., "give them the person"). Keep it to two or three concise sentences.

Example: I usually give gifts on special occasions. For example, I give presents for birthdays and anniversaries, and sometimes I surprise friends or my boyfriend with gifts on holidays.

Suggestion: Begin with a clear topic sentence describing the main consideration, then add a specific example and a linking word. Use precise vocabulary (interests, hobbies, personality) and avoid repetition.

Example: I consider the person's interests and hobbies when choosing a gift. For instance, if someone enjoys cooking, I might buy a useful kitchen gadget because it fits their tastes and daily life.

Suggestion: Give a concise yes/no topic sentence, then describe one specific handmade gift with details (what you made, for whom, why). Avoid fillers and unclear words; explain briefly how the recipient reacted or what you learned.

Example: Yes, I have. I once made a handmade birthday card for my father and spent a lot of time decorating it by hand. He appreciated the effort, and I learned that a personal touch can be more meaningful than a store-bought present.

Suggestion: Start with a clear opinion, then support it with one or two reasons and an example. Use correct grammar for contrast (e.g., "Even if a gift is expensive, it may not show true feelings") and avoid unclear phrases like "the tax is doesn't mean little thing."

Example: No, I don't think expensive gifts necessarily express feelings. Even if a gift is costly, it won't show love if the recipient doesn't like it; a thoughtful, inexpensive present can be much more meaningful.

× I'm pretty sure that I'm good at giving gifts because like we should give that or we match to the people that I want to like, give that to them.

✓ I'm pretty sure that I'm good at giving gifts because I try to match the gift to the person I want to give it to.

The original sentence misuses verb forms and word order. 'Match to the people' is incorrect; the verb 'match' should take the object 'the gift' and the preposition 'to' with the person: 'match the gift to the person.' Also unnecessary filler words ('like') and awkward placement of 'give that to them' are fixed. Suggestion: simplify clauses, use 'try to match the gift to the person' and place objects after verbs for clarity.

× I just find what they interest and just take the person about it.

✓ I just find out what they are interested in and talk to the person about it.

The phrase 'find what they interest' is incorrect; the correct structure is 'find out what they are interested in.' 'Take the person about it' is ungrammatical; likely intended 'talk to the person about it.' Suggestion: use 'be interested in' and the verb 'talk to' for discussing gifts.

× MMM maybe their special day like to celebrate their birthday or like the anniversary with my boyfriends.

✓ Maybe on their special day, like their birthday or an anniversary with my boyfriend.

Tense is acceptable but phrasing is awkward and has number agreement errors: 'boyfriends' should be singular 'boyfriend' if referring to one. Also 'to celebrate' is unnecessary. Suggestion: use a prepositional phrase 'on their special day' and correct singular noun.

× So I just give them the person.

✓ So I just give it to them.

'Give them the person' is incorrect pronoun usage. The intended meaning is to give the gift (it) to them. Replace 'the person' with the object pronoun 'it' and use correct word order 'give it to them.'

× I just like consider it the person interesting in something or what they like to do and what they really fit to them.

✓ I consider the person's interests, what they like to do, and what really suits them.

Original uses incorrect adjective/adverb forms and word order: 'person interesting in something' should be 'the person's interests'; 'what they really fit to them' should be 'what really suits them.' Suggestion: use possessive form and verb 'suit' for compatibility.

× So this is the main reason that I choose the gift for them.

✓ So this is the main reason I choose a gift for them.

The original has unnecessary 'that' and slight article issue. Use 'choose a gift' for natural English. Suggestion: remove unnecessary conjunctions and include appropriate article.

× Yeah, when there was a case I ever made a card by myself, it is for umm, my father birthday and yeah, I take all my effort with it and in that time I think it's Lily looked great, but now I think it's so messed up.

✓ Yes, once I made a card myself for my father's birthday. I put all my effort into it, and at the time I thought it looked great, but now I think it's messy.

Multiple problems: 'when there was a case I ever made' is ungrammatical — use 'once I made.' 'My father birthday' needs possessive 'my father's birthday.' 'I take all my effort with it' should be 'I put all my effort into it.' 'I think it's Lily looked great' is unclear; likely 'I thought it looked great.' Finally 'so messed up' is colloquial; 'messy' is clearer. Suggestions: use simple past for completed action, possessive noun, correct phrasal verb 'put effort into,' and consistent past tense.

× No really it doesn't makes any one feel better with the expensive gift if someone doesn't like that gift.

✓ No. Expensive gifts don't necessarily make someone feel better if they don't like the gift.

'Doesn't makes' mixes auxiliary and verb form; after 'doesn't' use base verb 'make.' Also 'any one' should be 'someone' or 'anyone.' 'With the expensive gift' is awkward; rephrase 'expensive gifts don't necessarily make someone feel better.' Suggestion: use correct auxiliary+base verb and concise phrasing.

× So the money, the price or the tax is doesn't mean little thing.

✓ So money, price, or tax doesn't mean much.

Use of definite article 'the' before abstract nouns is incorrect here. Also 'is doesn't' is ungrammatical—remove extra auxiliary. 'Mean little thing' should be 'mean much' or 'matter much.' Suggestion: omit unnecessary articles with general nouns and use correct verb form 'doesn't mean'.
