Gifts— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Your answer is relevant and includes a clear topic sentence and a supporting example, but you have minor grammar errors, redundant phrasing and a slightly informal tone. Improve by using correct articles and pronouns, avoiding repetition, and keeping the response concise (max 4–5 sentences). Add a linking phrase to connect the general belief and the specific example.

Ejemplo: Yes, I'm good at giving gifts because I see them as a way to share memories and show affection. For instance, I recently embroidered a shawl for my grandmother, and she was very happy when she received it. It meant a lot to both of us because it was handmade and personal.

Sugerencia: Good content with clear occasions and an example, but speech fillers ("uh uh"), tense and article errors, and some awkward phrasing reduce clarity. Make sentences smoother by removing fillers, correcting tense and articles, and using linking words (e.g., "also" or "otherwise") to connect ideas.

Ejemplo: I usually give gifts on special occasions, especially birthdays. I also give presents when a friend or relative is moving abroad for study or work. For example, I recently gave my friend Ruchika a purse for her 18th birthday, and she really liked it.

Sugerencia: Your answer addresses the question and gives specific factors, but it's wordy and has awkward or redundant phrases. Use concise expressions, avoid overgeneralized phrases such as "any of the human being," and include linking words (e.g., "for example") to make examples clearer.

Ejemplo: I mainly consider the recipient's interests and personal style. For example, when choosing a bag I think about whether they prefer handbags, backpacks or shoulder bags. So I try to match the gift to their personality and daily habits.

Sugerencia: Your response is personal and detailed, which is good, but contains grammar mistakes (verb forms, article usage), awkward phrasing and tense inconsistency. Keep sentences concise, correct verb forms (e.g., "gave" → "given" in present perfect), and use linking words like "although" without adding unnecessary conjunctions.

Ejemplo: Yes. I recently gave an embroidered shawl to my grandmother that I made myself. Although I'm not an expert at embroidery, I put a lot of effort into it, and she loved it. She often wears it when she goes out.

Sugerencia: You present a clear opinion with a comparison, which is good. Improve grammar (subject–verb agreement and phrasing), remove awkward idioms ("cost an arm and a leg" can be used but place appropriately), and make the contrast clearer with linking phrases such as "whereas" or "while."

Ejemplo: No, I don't think expensive gifts necessarily express feelings better. For example, a costly laptop may be useful, but a handmade personalized gift often carries more emotional value because it shows time and thought, whereas an expensive item may not convey the same sentiment.

× Yes, I am good at giving gifts to other persons because I believe that it is a good way of sharing memories and love.

✓ Yes, I am good at giving gifts to other people because I believe that it is a good way of sharing memories and love.

The phrase 'other persons' is unnatural; 'people' is the correct plural noun for humans in this context. Use 'people' for general references to humans.

× Recently, I gifted A shawl to my grandmother which was embroidered by my own hands and she felt very happy by receiving it.

✓ Recently, I gifted a shawl to my grandmother that I embroidered myself, and she was very happy to receive it.

Use lowercase 'a' not 'A'. Use 'that' rather than 'which' for essential clauses; 'embroidered by my own hands' is wordy—use 'I embroidered myself'. 'Felt very happy by receiving it' is incorrect; say 'was very happy to receive it.'

× I usually give gifts to other on special occasions such as uh uh, more often it was on somebody's birthday.

✓ I usually give gifts to others on special occasions, most often on someone's birthday.

Use 'others' (plural) and preposition 'to others'. Remove filler 'uh uh'. 'More often it was on' is awkward; 'most often on' is natural.

× Otherwise if any of my relatives or friend is going to abroad for further studies.

✓ Otherwise, if any of my relatives or friends is going abroad for further studies, I give them a gift.

Sentence is incomplete (no main clause). 'To abroad' is incorrect; use 'to go abroad' or 'is going abroad'. Ensure subject-verb agreement: 'relatives or friends' and add main clause to complete sentence.

× Recently, I gave a gift to my friend Ruchika on her 18th birthday.

✓ Recently, I gave a gift to my friend Ruchika for her 18th birthday.

Preposition 'on' is not wrong but 'for her birthday' is more natural. No major plural issue; included because of context suggestions.

× I mainly consider the interest of the other person and their nature because if I talk about giving a purse to any of the human being, it actually depends on their interest that whether they like to carry handbags, backpacks or long bags, short bags.

✓ I mainly consider the interests and personality of the other person, because whether I give someone a purse depends on whether they like to carry handbags, backpacks, long bags, or small bags.

Use 'interests' plural and 'personality' instead of 'their nature'. 'Any of the human being' is incorrect; use 'someone' or 'a person'. Simplify and parallel list items; use 'small bags' instead of 'short bags.'

× So yes, it actually depends on the personality of the person to whom we are planning to gift.

✓ So yes, it actually depends on the personality of the person to whom we plan to give a gift.

The verb phrase 'are planning to gift' is awkward; use 'plan to give a gift.' 'Gift' used as verb without object is informal; rephrase for clarity.

× Yes, I have recently gave a embroidered shawl to my grandmother.

✓ Yes, I recently gave an embroidered shawl to my grandmother. (Or: Yes, I have recently given an embroidered shawl to my grandmother.)

If using present perfect, use past participle 'given' not 'gave'. Also 'an embroidered shawl' needs article 'an'. 'A embroidered' incorrect before vowel sound; use 'an.'

× Although I don't know a lot about embroidery, but I try my best to put all the efforts and luckily at the end she loved it very much.

✓ Although I don't know a lot about embroidery, I try my best and put in a lot of effort, and luckily in the end she loved it very much.

Do not use both 'although' and 'but' together; they are redundant. Use 'put in a lot of effort' instead of 'put all the efforts'. Use 'in the end' not 'at the end' for final result.

× She used to carry it always whenever she's going out.

✓ She always used to carry it whenever she went out.

Mixing past habitual ('used to') with present continuous ('she's going out') is inconsistent. Use past tense 'went out' for habitual past actions, and place 'always' before the verb for natural word order.

× I don't think so that expensive gifts expresses our feelings in a more efficient way, because if we consider gifting a laptop which cost an arm and a leg actually and on the other hand gifting that handmade customized gift, there is a huge difference between emotions and feelings which are considered in both of these.

✓ I don't think expensive gifts express our feelings more effectively, because if we compare an expensive laptop with a handmade customized gift, there is a huge difference in the emotions and feelings involved.

Remove unnecessary 'so' after 'don't think'. Subject-verb agreement: 'gifts express' not 'expresses'. 'In a more efficient way' is awkward; use 'more effectively'. 'Which cost an arm and a leg actually' is colloquial and awkwardly placed; rephrase 'an expensive laptop'. 'Between emotions and feelings which are considered in both of these' is redundant; 'involved' is clearer.
