Gifts— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be more concise and natural. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetitive phrases, and correct grammar (use plural/singular forms and prepositions). Add one specific brief example to support your statement.

예시: Yes, I think I'm good at giving gifts. I usually choose thoughtful presents for close friends and family members who support me, such as a book for my sister who loves reading.

제안: Organize your answer with a clear topic sentence and specific examples. Use linking words (for example, or also) and correct nouns/phrasing (e.g., "near and dear ones", "useful things"). Avoid vague phrases like "do something better for me."

예시: I usually give gifts on special occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries, and also when someone has helped me. For example, I might give a small useful item like a mug or a notebook to thank a friend who supported me.

제안: Reduce hesitations and produce a structured answer: topic sentence + two clear considerations. Use linking words (firstly, secondly) and correct grammar ("whether it will be useful", "for a child, I consider their age"). Give a short concrete example.

예시: When choosing a gift, I think about two main things. Firstly, whether it is useful for the person, and secondly, if it's appropriate for their age—for example, I would choose an educational toy for a three-year-old.

제안: Answer directly and then give a brief reason. Avoid repetition and use varied vocabulary (e.g., "I'm not skilled at crafts" "I don't have time"). Offer a short alternative to show engagement (e.g., buy thoughtful items instead).

예시: No, I haven't made handmade gifts because I'm not skilled at crafts and I rarely have time. Instead, I prefer to buy a carefully chosen present, like a personalized photo frame.

제안: This answer is good but can be improved by adding a concise reason and a short example. Use a linking word (for example, or because) to connect your idea and avoid repeating the word "feelings".

예시: No, I don't think expensive gifts are necessary because what matters is the sentiment behind the gift. For example, a handwritten letter or a homemade cake can show more care than an expensive item.

× I am good at giving gift to others.

✓ I am good at giving gifts to others.

Countable noun 'gift' when used generally should be plural 'gifts'. Use plural for repeated or general actions: 'giving gifts'. Suggestion: Use plural for countable nouns when referring to more than one or to the general activity (gift -> gifts).

× I like to give gift to them who care for me and bring gift for me and who are precious to me.

✓ I like to give gifts to those who care for me, bring gifts for me, and who are precious to me.

Multiple uses of the countable noun 'gift' require plural 'gifts'. Also 'them who' is incorrect in this context; use 'those who' for people described. Suggestion: change 'gift' to 'gifts' and 'them' to 'those'.

× I give to my near and dears on their birthdays, anniversaries and whenever I feel they do something better for me.

✓ I give to my near and dear ones on their birthdays, anniversaries, and whenever I feel they do something nice for me.

'near and dears' is incorrect; the correct idiom is 'near and dear ones' or 'near and dear people'. 'do something better for me' is unnatural; use 'do something nice' or 'do something good'. Suggestion: use established collocation 'near and dear ones' and clearer verb phrase 'do something nice'.

× I appreciate them by giving small gifts like a teddy bear or a needful things.

✓ I appreciate them by giving small gifts like a teddy bear or useful things.

'a needful things' mixes singular article 'a' with plural 'things' and uses 'needful' incorrectly. Use 'useful things' without 'a'. Suggestion: match number and choose appropriate adjective (useful, practical).

× I feel they require them.

✓ I feel they need them.

'require' is correct but sounds formal; more natural is 'need'. Also 'them' is vague; here it refers to 'gifts' so 'them' is acceptable but 'need them' is clearer. Suggestion: use 'need' for everyday speech: 'I feel they need them.'

× While choosing a gift, I choose quality over quantity, uh, as well as uh, I consider that a will it be useful for a person or other or I also for or while choosing a gift for kid, I also looking at, uh, uh, age of kid or is it?

✓ When choosing a gift, I choose quality over quantity and consider whether it will be useful for the person. For a child, I also consider the child's age.

Original sentence is disfluent and has several errors: tense and structure problems ('While choosing' fine but repeated 'I choose' redundant), incorrect word order ('that a will it be useful'), missing verbs ('I also looking at' needs 'look'), and article problems ('a kid' or 'a child'). Suggestion: simplify into two clear sentences, use 'consider whether it will be useful' and 'consider the child's age'.

× No, I never ever gifted someone a handmade gift because I I'm not very good at art and craft.

✓ No, I have never given anyone a handmade gift because I'm not very good at art and crafts.

'never ever gifted' is awkward; present perfect 'have never given' is appropriate for life experience. 'gifted someone' is less natural than 'given someone' or 'given anyone'. Also 'art and craft' should be 'art and crafts'. Suggestion: use present perfect for experiences and the phrase 'art and crafts'.

× Moreover, I don't know anything about the paintings and drawings.

✓ Moreover, I don't know anything about painting or drawing.

'the paintings and drawings' implies specific works; when speaking generally, use uncountable or gerund forms 'painting' and 'drawing'. Suggestion: use general nouns without 'the' and plural when referring to types of activity: 'painting or drawing'.

× Moreover, I don't have that. I don't have much time for such skills.

✓ Also, I don't have that skill, and I don't have much time to develop such skills.

'I don't have that' is vague; specify 'that skill'. Second sentence 'time for such skills' is better as 'time to develop such skills' to show purpose. Suggestion: combine and clarify reference and purpose.

× Do expensive gifts better express your feelings?

✓ Do expensive gifts better express your feelings? (Question as examiner is fine)

This is examiner's question; grammatically it's acceptable. No correction needed for student response context. (No student sentence to correct.)

× In my opinion, the price tags are not important for gifts.

✓ In my opinion, price tags are not important for gifts.

'The price tags are not important for gifts' is understandable but 'the' is unnecessary when making a general statement. Suggestion: drop 'the' for natural generalization: 'price tags are not important'.

× It is the feeling and respect that matter the most in terms of feelings.

✓ It is the feeling and respect that matter most.

Redundant phrasing 'in terms of feelings' repeats 'feeling'. Simplify to 'matter most'. Suggestion: avoid repetition and keep concise.

× The feelings are priceless and our love and respect towards each other.

✓ Feelings are priceless, as are our love and respect for each other.

Original lacks a clear verb for the second clause; 'and our love and respect towards each other' is a fragment. Recast to parallel structure: 'Feelings are priceless, as are our love and respect for each other.' Suggestion: ensure parallelism and include verb phrase for clarity.
