Gifts— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Make your answer more concise, correct grammar, and avoid repetition and hesitations. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Use correct verb forms and pluralisation.

例: Yes — I think I'm good at giving gifts, especially for special occasions. I usually choose presents based on the recipient’s interests; for example, I bought a friend a cookbook because she enjoys cooking. This way the gift is both useful and appreciated.

提案: Provide a clear topic sentence, then add one specific example and a linking word to make the answer coherent. Correct grammar and word order (e.g., "depending on their interests"). Keep it within 2–3 sentences.

例: I usually give gifts on special occasions, such as birthdays and anniversaries. For example, for my sister’s birthday I bought her a set of art supplies because she likes drawing, and she was very happy.

提案: Correct pronunciation and grammar (e.g., "When choosing a gift"). Give a clear topic sentence and one specific example with concise language. Use linking words like "for example" and avoid filler sounds.

例: When choosing a gift, I consider the recipient’s interests. For example, because a friend loves cooking, I bought her quality utensils, which she appreciated.

提案: Be concise and use correct explanations. State your position clearly, then give one brief reason and, if possible, mention a future possibility. Avoid repetition and incorrect phrasing.

例: No, I haven’t given a handmade gift because I don’t have the necessary crafting skills. However, I might try making something simple in the future, like a handmade card.

提案: Give a clear opinion in one sentence, then support it with a reason and an example. Use linking words such as "because" and avoid trailing repetition. Correct grammar (e.g., "expensive gifts better express").

例: No, I don’t think expensive gifts necessarily express feelings better because thoughtful presents that match someone’s interests are often more meaningful. For instance, a personalised book I gave a friend had more emotional value than an expensive accessory.

× I can say that I am good at giving gift, especially when there is an occasion.

✓ I can say that I am good at giving gifts, especially when there is an occasion.

The noun 'gift' should be plural 'gifts' because the speaker refers to giving gifts in general, not a single gift. Use plural for general, countable items when talking about them in general terms.

× I give them what are their interests.

✓ I give them things based on their interests.

The original uses an incorrect clause 'what are their interests.' Use a noun phrase 'things based on their interests' or a relative clause 'what their interests are.' The issue aligns with incorrect use of present participle structures and clause formation.

× I, I give them umm, I give them and I based on what is their interest so that they would.

✓ I give them gifts based on their interests so they will like them.

The original is fragmented and ungrammatical. It lacks clear verb objects and correct clause order. Rewriting provides a clear subject-verb-object structure and correct subordinate clause with a modal 'will' to express result.

× I usually give when there is an occasion such as birthdays, anniversaries like that I give them what depending on their in on their interest and I am also happy that they appreciated it.

✓ I usually give gifts on occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries, choosing them based on the recipients' interests, and I am happy when they appreciate them.

'Give' needs an object 'gifts' (plural) and 'birthdays, anniversaries' should be listed with 'and'. 'Depending on their in on their interest' is ungrammatical; use 'choosing them based on the recipients' interests.' Also adjust tense: 'they appreciated it' -> 'they appreciate them' to match present habitual action.

× When you sing a gift, I consider the person I would be giving the gift to because my gift depends on their interest.

✓ When choosing a gift, I consider the person I will be giving it to because my gift depends on their interests.

'Sing' is a wrong verb; correct verb is 'choosing'. Also 'giving the gift to' is acceptable but more natural 'giving it to.' Use 'will be giving' -> 'will be giving' or present 'I give' depending on context; here future/present choice fits 'will.' 'Interest' should be plural 'interests' when referring generally.

× For example, my friend, she likes cooking, so I give her uh, equipments for cooking and I really love it when they appreciate it.

✓ For example, my friend likes cooking, so I give her cooking equipment, and I really love it when she appreciates it.

'Equipments' is incorrect; 'equipment' is an uncountable noun (singular form). Also pronoun agreement: 'my friend' is singular so use 'she' not 'they' and 'appreciates' (third person singular). Remove extraneous commas.

× No, not yet. I haven't given a handmade gift to anyone because I do not have any skill.

✓ No, not yet. I haven't given a handmade gift to anyone because I don't have the skills.

'Any skill' is unnatural here; 'the skills' or 'the skill' depending, but plural 'skills' or 'the skill to make them' is better. Using contraction 'don't' is acceptable. This corrects sentence naturalness and noun choice.

× Any skill of doing such things I usually buy.

✓ I usually buy handmade items because I don't have the skills to make them.

Original word order is incorrect. Rewriting clarifies the subject and verb and explains reason. Matches listed sentence structure error category.

× I made already made, already made things.

✓ I have already bought made items.

Original is repetitive and ungrammatical. Use present perfect 'have already bought' and 'made items' to convey the intended meaning clearly.

× I cannot say that expensive gift is better to express my feelings because I usually give present to people based on their interests and I do not.

✓ I cannot say that an expensive gift is better to express my feelings because I usually give presents based on people's interests.

Missing article before 'expensive gift' -> 'an expensive gift.' 'Give present' needs plural 'presents' or 'a present.' Remove trailing fragment 'and I do not.' The sentence also benefits from simplifying to natural phrasing.

× I do not. I do not. I do not really rely. I do not rely on.

✓ I don't rely on price to show my feelings.

Original is broken into fragments and incomplete. Combining into a single clear sentence fixes structure and completes the thought: 'rely on price' specifies what is not relied on.
