Gifts— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Make your answer more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, correct grammar, avoid repetition, and add one specific supporting detail. Use linking words for clarity.

예시: Yes, I enjoy giving gifts to people who are important to me, such as family and close friends. For example, I always try to pick something meaningful for my sister because she loves cooking, so I often buy her specialty spices. This shows I care about her interests and our relationship.

제안: Answer directly, fix grammar and avoid repeating 'usually'. Add a detail explaining why you choose that type of gift and use linking words to connect ideas.

예시: I usually give gifts on birthdays, especially to close friends. For instance, because several of my friends are interested in skincare and makeup, I often buy them beauty products like face masks or lipstick, which I know they will enjoy.

제안: This answer has a good structure but needs smoother grammar and fewer hesitations. Begin with a clear topic sentence, then give the specific example linked with a time phrase. Avoid small errors like extra articles and word order mistakes.

예시: I mainly consider whether a gift suits the recipient’s interests and needs. For example, last month I gave a set of face masks to a friend who is very into skincare because I knew she would appreciate practical beauty products.

제안: Be concise and natural: give a short reason and, if possible, offer a brief example or contrast. Correct phrasing such as 'handmade' and avoid repeating 'because'.

예시: No, I haven’t. I prefer bought gifts because they often look more polished and last longer; however, I did once write a short handwritten note to a friend to make the present feel more personal.

제안: Clarify and correct grammar, avoid repetition, and provide one clear supporting example. Use linking words like 'however' or 'for example' correctly.

예시: Not necessarily. I think thoughtful gifts or gestures can be more meaningful than expensive items. For example, a heartfelt handwritten letter or spending quality time together can express affection more sincerely than an expensive present.

× Yes I do. I usually give gifts to my important person such as my family, my and my friends because it giving gifts to someone can show that I care and that people matter.

✓ Yes, I am. I usually give gifts to important people such as my family and my friends because giving gifts to someone can show that I care and that they matter.

Pronoun and noun phrase errors: 'important person' should be plural 'important people' to match examples 'family and friends'; 'my and my friends' is incorrect and redundant, corrected to 'my friends'; 'it giving gifts' is ungrammatical — use the gerund 'giving gifts' without 'it'; 'that people matter' is vague; use 'they matter' to refer back to the people mentioned. Also changed 'Yes I do' to 'Yes, I am' to appropriately answer 'Are you good at giving gifts?' and added commas for clarity.

× I usually give gifts to my friends when they have birthday.

✓ I usually give gifts to my friends when they have a birthday.

Missing article with 'birthday': in English singular countable nouns often need an article; 'have birthday' should be 'have a birthday'. Maintains present habitual tense 'usually give'.

× I usually give some beauty cosmetics because they're very interesting in beauty.

✓ I usually give some beauty cosmetics because they're very interested in beauty.

Preposition and adjective/adverb error: 'interesting in beauty' is incorrect; use the adjective 'interested in' to describe people's feelings. Also 'cosmetics' is fine as plural. 'They're very interested in beauty' correctly describes recipients.

× When choosing a gift, I consider whether it is suitable for that person. For example, I last month I gave a set of face masks to one of my friends for her birthday presents because she cares a lot about skin care.

✓ When choosing a gift, I consider whether it is suitable for that person. For example, last month I gave a set of face masks to one of my friends as a birthday present because she cares a lot about skincare.

Redundant and awkward phrasing: 'I last month I gave' contains duplicated subject; move 'last month' before the verb. 'for her birthday presents' is incorrect — use 'as a birthday present' (singular) or 'birthday presents' without 'for her'. 'skin care' is typically written as 'skincare' as a compound noun. Adjusted word order for natural English.

× No, I haven't because I prefer to give manufactured gifts because they usually feel more valuable and reliable rather than making by my hands.

✓ No, I haven't, because I prefer to give manufactured gifts; they usually feel more valuable and reliable than handmade ones.

Awkward comparative and phrase order: 'rather than making by my hands' is ungrammatical; use 'than handmade ones' or 'than ones made by my hands'. Also combined clauses for clarity and used semicolon. Maintains present perfect 'I haven't' to answer 'Have you ever given others a handmade gift?' and present simple 'I prefer' for habit.

× No really, because I believe even if it was cheaper than other gifts, you can still show your appreciation to that person.

✓ Not really, because I believe that even if a gift is cheaper than other gifts, you can still show your appreciation to that person.

Casual 'No really' corrected to 'Not really' for natural response. Tense agreement: 'even if it was cheaper' should be general present 'even if a gift is cheaper' when discussing a general truth. Added 'that' for clarity and kept modal 'can' for ability.

× For example, you can write you can write handwriting letters to the person to show your expressions and feelings.

✓ For example, you can write handwritten letters to the person to show your thoughts and feelings.

Redundant repetition 'you can write you can write' removed. 'handwriting letters' is incorrect; use the adjective 'handwritten letters'. 'show your expressions and feelings' is awkward — 'thoughts and feelings' is a natural collocation. Maintains modal 'can' for suggestion.
