Gifts— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be concise and clear. Start with a direct topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons using linking words. Avoid hesitations and grammatical errors (use correct tense and pronouns). Try to keep it within 2–4 sentences.

例: Not really. I find giving gifts difficult because I worry the recipient might not like them. For example, I once bought a shirt that didn’t fit their style, so now I feel anxious about choosing presents.

提案: Answer directly with a clear time or occasion, then add a brief reason using a linking word like 'because' or 'so'. Correct subject-verb agreement and reduce repetition. Keep it to two sentences.

例: I usually give gifts on special occasions, such as birthdays or parties, because those events call for celebration. However, I’m often hesitant to give gifts at other times because I’m not sure about the person’s taste.

提案: Provide a clear topic sentence describing what you consider, then list one or two specific factors with linking words (for example, 'I consider X because Y'). Use correct vocabulary (e.g., 'preferences' instead of 'taste' mistakes) and avoid fillers.

例: When choosing a gift, I consider the person’s preferences and interests because I want them to enjoy it. For instance, I think about their hobbies or favorite colors to pick something appropriate.

提案: Answer briefly and directly, then explain why with one specific reason or example. Use correct verb forms and clearer vocabulary ('handmade gifts', 'experience making'). Avoid awkward phrasing.

例: No, I haven’t given a handmade gift. I don’t have much experience making things, and I worry my handmade gift wouldn’t match the recipient’s interests.

提案: Give a clear opinion in the first sentence, then support it with a reason and an example. Avoid mistakes (e.g., 'expensive gifts', not 'girls') and reduce fillers. Keep it to two sentences for clarity.

例: No, I don’t think expensive gifts are necessary to show feelings because thought and personal meaning matter more. For example, a thoughtful handwritten letter or a small meaningful item can express care better than an expensive present.

× Not much.

✓ Not really.

The phrase 'Not much' is informal and incomplete as a response to 'Are you good at giving gifts?'. This is a sentence structure / idiomatic usage issue. Use 'Not really' to clearly express a negative degree in natural English.

× I'm not good at giving gifts.

✓ I'm not good at giving gifts.

Original sentence is grammatically correct; no change needed. It correctly uses present simple/continuous to express a general ability.

× Uh, sometime I want to give someone, but I thought, uh, that uh, she and he's not liking.

✓ Sometimes I want to give someone a gift, but I think she might not like it.

Multiple issues: 'sometime' should be 'sometimes' (adverb of frequency), 'give someone' needs an object like 'a gift', and 'she and he's not liking' is ungrammatical. Also tense/voice was mixed (past 'thought' vs present meaning). Classified as sentence structure errors because several elements combine. Use 'I think she might not like it' to express present doubt.

× Then I thought giving gifts is very scary for me so.

✓ So I find giving gifts very scary.

Awkward word order and tense: 'thought giving gifts is' mixes past thought with present feeling. Better to use present simple 'find' to state a general feeling. This fixes sentence structure and clarity.

× When do you usually give gifts to others?

✓ When do you usually give gifts to others?

This is the examiner's question and is correct; no change needed.

× I usually give someone when I have a party and are a celebration so I give gifts but I also want to give never gifts because I don't know how their taste so I scary about it.

✓ I usually give gifts at parties and celebrations, but I rarely give gifts otherwise because I don't know their tastes, so I'm worried about it.

Multiple errors: 'give someone' needs object; 'are a celebration' incorrect verb; 'want to give never gifts' wrong word order and meaning (use 'rarely'); 'how their taste' should be 'their tastes'; 'I scary' incorrect adjective/verb use—should be 'I'm worried' or 'I'm scared'. Classified as sentence structure errors because many elements require reordering and correct word forms.

× I'm also scared uh, for choosing a gift because I did not know how uh, they taste but so I feel very scary to choosing a gift and I consider heartiest and their taste and a lot of.

✓ I'm also scared of choosing a gift because I don't know their tastes, so I feel very nervous about choosing a gift and I consider how heartfelt it is and their tastes.

Errors include incorrect preposition 'scared for' (should be 'scared of'), wrong tense 'did not know' vs present state 'don't know', incorrect phrase 'feel very scary to choosing' should be 'nervous about choosing', and 'consider heartiest' is incorrect—use 'consider how heartfelt it is'. This involves verb + -ing form and preposition issues; corrected to proper collocations.

× Have you ever given others a handmade gift?

✓ Have you ever given someone a handmade gift?

Question is mostly correct but 'others' is unnatural here; 'someone' or 'others' could work. This change improves natural usage in present perfect context.

× No, I have not experienced to making handmade games.

✓ No, I have not had the experience of making handmade gifts.

Incorrect structure 'experienced to making' should be 'had the experience of making' or 'haven't made'. Also 'games' is likely a wrong word; context requires 'gifts'. Classified as sentence structure error.

× So I did not give others to handmade gifts.

✓ So I did not give others handmade gifts.

'Give others to handmade gifts' has wrong preposition and word order. The correct verb structure is 'give someone something' without 'to'. This is an incorrect use of prepositions/word order.

× I also show up the gifts and you think what they actually interested in.

✓ I also look at gifts to think about what they would actually be interested in.

'Show up the gifts' is incorrect collocation; likely meant 'look at' or 'show them the gifts'. 'You think what they actually interested in' needs 'to think about what they would actually be interested in.' This is sentence structure and collocation correction.

× So I have no idea for handmade gift.

✓ So I have no idea for a handmade gift.

Missing article 'a' before 'handmade gift' and preposition 'for' is acceptable; main issue is article—classified as sentence structure/article error.

× Do expensive gifts better express your feelings?

✓ Do expensive gifts better express your feelings?

Examiner's question is correct; no change needed.

× No, I don't like expensive girls.

✓ No, I don't like expensive gifts.

'Girls' is clearly a wrong word (likely a pronunciation/choice error) and should be 'gifts'. This is an incorrect word choice in the adjective/noun area.

× I just like uh, someone feelings and love for me and choosing a gift for me, uh, no matter it is expensive or not, uh, I also prefer gifts, uh, uh, not an expensive gifts.

✓ I just like someone's feelings and love for me, and when someone chooses a gift for me, I don't care whether it is expensive or not; I prefer gifts that aren't expensive.

Many issues: 'someone feelings' should be 'someone's feelings' (possessive), 'no matter it is expensive or not' should be 'whether it is expensive or not', 'not an expensive gifts' incorrect article/number—use 'gifts that aren't expensive'. Classified as sentence structure and article/pronoun errors; corrected for clarity and grammatical agreement.
