Gifts— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Improve grammar and fluency: use correct verb forms and articles, reduce hesitations, and make the reply more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific examples. Use linking words if you add details.

例: Yes, I think I'm quite good at choosing gifts. For example, I often buy small, meaningful items like a necklace or a handbag for close friends, because those items suit their daily style.

提案: Work on pronunciation, vocabulary and sentence structure: state a clear time frame (e.g., birthdays, anniversaries), avoid filler sounds, and use plural/singular correctly. Use a linking phrase to list occasions.

例: I usually give gifts on special occasions, such as birthdays and anniversaries. I also give presents at festivals or when someone achieves something important.

提案: Clarify and expand with specific criteria: start with a direct topic sentence, then list concrete factors (recipient's interests, needs, occasion, budget) using linking words like 'because' or 'so'. Reduce repetition.

例: I spend a lot of time choosing gifts because I want them to be meaningful. For instance, I consider the person's hobbies, what they need, the occasion, and my budget so the present feels personal.

提案: Fix grammar and coherence, and give a clear short story: say what you made, who received it, and why they liked it. Remove unclear phrases and fillers, and use past simple correctly.

例: Yes, I have. For my friend's birthday I made a handmade necklace. She loved it because it was personal and showed I put time and effort into making something just for her.

提案: Give a clear opinion with supporting reasons and examples. Use correct grammar for negatives and linkers like 'for example' or 'instead'. Explain why thoughtful gifts can be more meaningful than costly ones.

例: No, I don't think expensive gifts express feelings better. For example, a handmade card or a small, thoughtful item can show more care because it reflects personal attention and understanding of the recipient.

× I think I good at giving gifts.

✓ I think I am good at giving gifts.

Missing auxiliary verb 'am' for the adjective phrase; subject 'I' requires the linking verb 'am' before 'good'. Use 'I am' to form a correct present simple state.

× I obtain short special gift for my friend such as uh, necklace, handbag or something.

✓ I usually get small special gifts for my friends, such as a necklace, a handbag, or something similar.

'Obtain' is formal and unnatural in this context; 'get' or 'buy' is more natural. 'short special gift' is incorrect — use 'small special gifts'. Plural 'gifts' matches general habit. Add indefinite articles 'a' before singular count nouns and make 'friend' plural if speaking generally.

× I usually give gift to other uh when some suck ash uh birthday get to it get to it or special occasion like.

✓ I usually give gifts to others on occasions like birthdays or other special events.

Use plural 'gifts' and 'others'. Preposition 'on' is used with occasions; 'birthday' should be plural 'birthdays' for general habit. Remove filler words and incorrect phrases; use 'occasions like' or 'special events'.

× I take time a lot for choosing a gift for special person because I I want to. I want to give something good for person I love.

✓ I spend a lot of time choosing a gift for a special person because I want to give something nice to the person I love.

Use 'spend a lot of time' instead of 'take time a lot'. Use 'choosing' (verb + -ing) after 'spend time'. Include the article 'a' before 'special person' and 'the person I love' for specificity. Use 'to' with 'give something nice to someone'.

× Yes I have, I used to make uh necklace handmade for my friend in birthday.

✓ Yes I have. I used to make a handmade necklace for my friend on her birthday.

Add auxiliary punctuation; use 'a handmade necklace' (article and adjective order). Use preposition 'on' with 'birthday' and specify 'her' to be clear. 'Used to' correctly indicates past habitual action.

× She lovely love it because I I ate Thai.

✓ She really loved it because I made it by hand.

'She lovely love it' is ungrammatical; use 'She really loved it' (past tense). 'I ate Thai' is meaningless here; likely intended 'I made it' or 'I made it myself' to explain the reason. Use past tense to match 'used to make'.

× No, I don't uh, expensive gift not better away.

✓ No. Expensive gifts do not necessarily express feelings better.

Negation was incorrect. Use subject 'expensive gifts' plural and 'do not' to negate. 'Not better away' is ungrammatical; replace with 'do not necessarily express feelings better' to convey intended meaning.

× Uh, for example, I may neglect can make for my friend, She really expressed feeling.

✓ For example, a thoughtful or handmade gift I make for my friend can express my feelings better.

Original sentence is unclear and mixes verbs. Use a clear subject and verb: 'a thoughtful or handmade gift I make' and 'can express my feelings better'. Ensure verb forms match and use 'can' before base verb 'express'. Use lowercase and proper punctuation.
