Gifts— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be consistent and directly answer the question with a clear topic sentence. Avoid contradiction (saying 'No' then 'I'm really good') and use present tense. Add a brief reason with a linking phrase. Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

예시: Yes, I think I'm good at giving gifts because I pay attention to what my friends like. For example, I often choose presents based on their hobbies or recent conversations, so they usually appreciate them. However, I sometimes worry that they might not like my choice, so I ask mutual friends for advice.

제안: Start with a clear topic sentence stating typical occasions, then use a linking word to add the extra idea. Be concise and avoid repetition. Provide one specific example to illustrate the 'normal days' point.

예시: I usually give gifts on special occasions such as birthdays and holidays. In addition, I sometimes give small presents on ordinary days to surprise close friends; for instance, I recently gave a friend a book after they mentioned wanting to read more.

제안: Provide a clear topic sentence and follow with specific reasons using linking words. Correct grammar and complete sentences are important. Give one or two concrete examples of useful gifts you choose.

예시: When choosing a gift, I mainly consider whether my friend will actually use it. For example, I might buy a coffee thermos for someone who commutes daily or a kitchen gadget for a friend who loves cooking, because practical items are more appreciated.

제안: Answer directly and then expand with a specific example. Use correct tense and plural/singular forms. Explain why handmade gifts are meaningful and mention one handmade item you made.

예시: Yes, I have given handmade gifts to my close friends. For instance, I once knitted a scarf for my best friend because she likes warm colors, and she treasured it since it showed effort and thoughtfulness.

제안: Your answer is clear. Improve by combining short sentences into a smooth response and adding a brief reason or example using a linking word like 'because' or 'for example.'

예시: I don't think expensive gifts necessarily express feelings better because meaning matters more than price. For example, a heartfelt letter or a small handmade item often shows more thought than an expensive but impersonal present.

× No, I'm really good at giving gifts.

✓ No, I'm not really good at giving gifts.

The student meant to say they are not good at giving gifts but used incorrect polarity. Use 'not' to negate 'good' making the meaning clear; pronoun use is fine but sentence logic required negation.

× I usually worried about if my friends don't like the gift I give them.

✓ I usually worry about whether my friends will like the gifts I give them.

Use present simple 'worry' for habitual action instead of past 'worried'. Use 'whether' for alternatives rather than 'if' in this context and match future 'will like' for friends' reaction. Use plural 'gifts' to agree with 'them' and present simple for general habit.

× I usually give my friends gifts when they have birthdays and in some normal days I also give my close friends some gifts because I think the gifts should not be given in special day but in normal day.

✓ I usually give my friends gifts on their birthdays and on ordinary days I also give my close friends small gifts because I think gifts should not only be given on special days but also on ordinary days.

Use 'on their birthdays' (preposition and possessive) and 'ordinary days' rather than 'normal days'. Keep present simple 'give' for habits. Add 'only' and 'also' to express contrast. Use plural 'days' and 'gifts' for agreement.

× Umm, the main parts I considered why choosing a gift is that the gifts if my friends will use it.

✓ Umm, the main thing I consider when choosing a gift is whether my friends will use it.

Replace 'main parts I considered why choosing a gift is' with 'main thing I consider when choosing a gift is' to use correct clause order and present simple for habit. Use 'whether' for alternatives and match singular 'it' with 'a gift' or use 'them' with 'gifts'.

× I prefer to send some useful gifts rather than some beautiful but.

✓ I prefer to give useful gifts rather than just beautiful ones.

Use 'give' instead of 'send' for presents given to people present; use 'just' to indicate contrast and 'ones' to avoid repeating 'gifts'. Remove trailing 'but'.

× Yes, I used to give my best friends a handmade gifts.

✓ Yes, I used to give my best friend a handmade gift.

Use singular or plural consistently: 'best friend' singular with 'a handmade gift' or 'my best friends' with 'handmade gifts'. Also 'used to' implies past habit, which is correct here; adjust noun articles for agreement.

× In my opinion, the handmade gifts is precious, so I just sent it to my best friend.

✓ In my opinion, handmade gifts are precious, so I just gave one to my best friend.

Use plural subject 'handmade gifts' with plural verb 'are' for subject-verb agreement, or use 'a handmade gift is precious'. Use 'gave' instead of 'sent' when handing a gift in person and 'one' to refer back to a gift. Keep past tense 'gave/sent' consistent.

× Do expensive gifts better express your feelings?

✓ Do expensive gifts better express your feelings?

This sentence is grammatically acceptable; it correctly uses plural subject and comparative adverb 'better'. No change needed.

× I don't think so. To be honest. I prefer to choose something meaningful rather than something expensive.

✓ I don't think so. To be honest, I prefer to choose something meaningful rather than something expensive.

Combine 'To be honest' with a comma to form a complete sentence; the rest is correct. 'Prefer to choose' is slightly wordy but acceptable for preference; keep present simple for habitual preference.
