Gifts— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be concise and grammatically correct. Start with a direct topic sentence, then give one or two clear reasons with linking words. Correct common mistakes (use of infinitive, word order) and avoid redundancy.

예시: No, I'm not very good at giving gifts. I usually struggle to choose items because I don't know what my family members would actually like or use, so I often feel unsure about what to buy.

제안: Give a clear time/occasion first, then add one specific exception with linking words. Use correct tense and simple clauses to make meaning clear.

예시: I usually give gifts only for birthdays. However, sometimes I also give presents at New Year or when a friend starts school, for example I recently gave a small gift to a girl starting high school.

제안: Answer directly: state the main consideration, then explain with a specific detail or example. Use clearer grammar—avoid awkward phrases and use linking words like 'because' or 'so'.

예시: I consider whether the recipient will actually use the gift. For example, I prefer practical items like a reusable water bottle because even if they don't use it every day, it will be useful occasionally.

제안: Be direct and use simple, correct sentences. State whether you have given handmade gifts, then explain why or why not with one clear reason. Avoid long confused clauses and improve verb forms and vocabulary (handmade, afraid).

예시: No, I haven't given handmade gifts because I'm afraid my work would look unprofessional. I would like to learn crafting, though, so maybe in the future I will practice and try making a simple card or knitted scarf.

제안: Give a clear opinion first, then explain briefly with a reason and an example. Use comparative and negative structures correctly, and avoid repeating ideas. Use phrases like 'I don't think' or 'In my opinion'.

예시: No, I don't think expensive gifts express feelings better. In my opinion, a thoughtful or personal gift shows more care than an expensive item; for example, a heartfelt letter or homemade present can mean more than a costly gadget.

× I can confidently say that I'm not good at giving gifts because I really don't know what I can to present for even for my family.

✓ I can confidently say that I'm not good at giving gifts because I really don't know what I can present, even for my family.

The error is using 'can to present' which mixes modal verb 'can' with 'to' plus base verb. After a modal verb use the base form without 'to' (can present). Also 'even for my family' should be placed after the verb phrase and separated by a comma for clarity. Suggestion: use 'can present' and put adverbial phrases in a natural position.

× Usually I give gifts only for birthdays but I came to present it for new year for start of school year it's a girl.

✓ Usually I give gifts only for birthdays, but I gave one for the New Year and the start of the school year; it was for a girl.

Multiple problems: 'came to present it' is incorrect verb choice and tense — use simple past 'gave' for past actions. 'For new year' needs the definite article 'the New Year'. 'For start of school year' needs 'the start of the school year'. Also sentence structure is run-on and unclear; split or use punctuation. Suggestions: use correct articles ('the New Year', 'the start of the school year'), use simple past 'gave' for completed events, and reorder for clarity. Grammar problem type ID:5

× I struggle to choose that gift that this member will use even not often but will use it by the way.

✓ I struggle to choose a gift that this person will use, even if not often.

Problems: 'that gift that this member' is awkward — use 'a gift that this person' (pronoun and noun choice). 'Member' is vague; 'person' is better. 'Even not often but will use it by the way' is ungrammatical and wordy; use 'even if not often' to express occasional use. Remove redundant 'it' after 'use'. Suggestion: simplify clause to 'a gift that this person will use, even if not often.' Grammar problem type ID:12

× I really scared to giving others handmind gifts because I can do something from my hands and it's so sad for me and I want to fix it but I don't know how I don't even know to do something well.

✓ I'm really scared to give others handmade gifts because I can't make things with my hands well; it's sad for me and I want to improve, but I don't know how.

Several errors: 'I really scared' needs auxiliary to form passive/adjective: 'I'm really scared' or 'I get really scared'. 'to giving' mixes 'to' with gerund; use 'to give' (infinitive) or gerund without 'to' ('giving'). 'handmind' is misspelling of 'handmade'. 'I can do something from my hands' is unidiomatic; use 'I can't make things with my hands well'. 'I don't even know to do something well' should be 'I don't even know how to do things well'. Suggestion: use correct adjective/auxiliary, choose infinitive or gerund appropriately, correct vocabulary 'handmade', and use 'how to' for ability clauses. Grammar problem type ID:8

× Especially not I prefer to express my feelings more better than spend my money for other gifts. I don't want to spend my money.

✓ Not at all; I prefer to express my feelings rather than spend my money on gifts. I don't want to spend my money.

'Especially not' is unnatural; 'Not at all' or 'I especially don't' would work. 'More better' is incorrect: do not combine 'more' with comparative '-er' form; use 'better' alone. The structure 'prefer to X than Y' should be 'prefer X rather than Y' or 'prefer to X rather than to Y'. 'Spend my money for other gifts' should use preposition 'on' not 'for'. Suggestion: use 'prefer to express my feelings rather than spend my money on gifts' and avoid double comparatives. Grammar problem type ID:25
