Pontuação: 62.0Sugestão: Bạn trả lời rõ ràng nhưng có lỗi ngữ pháp, phát âm và diễn đạt lặp (ví dụ: "giving gift" -> "giving gifts"). Câu nên bắt đầu bằng câu chủ đề ngắn gọn, sau đó mở rộng bằng thông tin cụ thể. Hạn chế lặp từ, sửa động từ thì cho phù hợp ("I spend" hoặc "I tend to spend"). Thêm liên từ đơn giản để mạch lạc (because, so, therefore).
Exemplo: I'm not very good at giving gifts. Because I worry about choosing something meaningful, I usually spend a lot of time thinking about what would suit my friends. For example, I ask myself about their hobbies and recent needs before buying anything.

What do you consider when choosing a gift?
Pontuação: 42.0Sugestão: Nội dung rời rạc, nhiều lỗi ngữ pháp và từ không rõ ("Thai buck jets" không hiểu).

Cố gắng cung cấp ví dụ cụ thể về so sánh giá hoặc ưu tiên tính thiết thực.
Exemplo: Because I'm a student on a tight budget, I always consider price and value when choosing a gift. I compare the same item across different websites to find a good deal, and I also think about whether the gift is practical or suits the recipient's interests.
Have you ever given others a handmade gift?

Do expensive gifts better express your feelings?
Pontuação: 58.0Sugestão: Ý chính rõ nhưng có lỗi ngữ pháp (đại từ, số ít/ nhiều: "gifts don't"), nói lặp ("I I", "my my"), và cấu trúc hỗn độn. Nên bắt đầu bằng câu chủ đề (No, expensive gifts don't necessarily...), giải thích lý do và kết luận. Cung cấp ví dụ để minh hoạ quan điểm.
Exemplo: No, I don't think expensive gifts necessarily express feelings better. I often have a limited budget, so I focus on choosing something thoughtful that matches the recipient's tastes. For example, I once wrote a personal letter to accompany a small handmade item, which meant more to the person than an expensive present.
× Actually, I'm not very good at giving gift.
✓ Actually, I'm not very good at giving gifts.
The noun 'gift' must be plural 'gifts' because the speaker refers to giving presents in general, not a single specific item. Use plural for general habitual actions: 'giving gifts'. Suggestion: Use plural nouns when talking about things in general (e.g., 'giving gifts', 'buying books').
× I always worry about finding something truly heartwarming to give for my friends, so I spent a lot of time to choose the perfect present.
✓ I always worry about finding something truly heartwarming to give my friends, so I spend a lot of time choosing the perfect present.
The sentence mixes present habitual action 'I always worry' with past tense 'I spent'. Use present simple 'spend' for habitual actions. Also 'to give for my friends' is incorrect preposition use (should be 'give my friends'). Use gerund 'choosing' rather than 'to choose' after 'spend time'. Suggestion: Keep tenses consistent for habitual actions and use 'spend time + gerund'.
× I usually give gift on their birthdays because I think birthday is the meaningful days on their life.
✓ I usually give gifts on their birthdays because I think birthdays are meaningful days in their lives.
Multiple issues: 'gift' should be plural 'gifts' for habitual action; 'birthday' should be plural 'birthdays' to match 'their'; 'is' must be 'are' to agree with plural subject; 'the meaningful days on their life' is incorrect preposition and noun number — use 'meaningful days in their lives'. Suggestion: Match singular/plural forms and use 'in their lives' to express time within someone's life.
× I try to choose thoughtful presents like uh, small books or a handmade handmade things like uh, a birthday cake to show that I.
✓ I try to choose thoughtful presents, like small books or handmade things, or even a homemade birthday cake, to show that I care.
Errors include duplicated word 'handmade handmade', incorrect article use 'a handmade things' (plural noun with singular article), and sentence left incomplete 'to show that I.' Also 'birthday cake' that is made at home should be 'homemade birthday cake'. Complete the clause with 'I care'. Suggestion: Avoid repeating words, ensure article agreement with noun number, and finish the sentence with a complete clause.
× Actually, because I'm a student with a Thai buck jets, so I first check the price and I took uh, and the values I often compare a same gift, but in different website does uh, the price is affordable. I will choose this uh, in additions, I will compare the.
✓ Actually, because I'm a student with a tight budget, I first check the price and value. I often compare the same gift on different websites to see if the price is affordable. If it is, I will choose it. In addition, I compare other factors as well.
Multiple issues: 'Thai buck jets' is incorrect phrase — likely 'tight budget'. 'I took' is incorrect; tense and phrase unclear. 'a same gift' should be 'the same gift' or 'the same item'; 'different website' should be plural 'different websites'; sentence fragments like 'I will choose this uh' and 'I will compare the.' need completion. Use quantifiers correctly and pluralize countable nouns when needed. Suggestion: Use clear vocabulary ('tight budget'), use 'compare the same item on different websites', and avoid leaving sentences incomplete.
× Oh let me think, last year I I I met a birthday cake for my mom is actually a small cake and the simple decorate.
✓ Oh, let me think. Last year I made a birthday cake for my mom. It was actually a small cake with simple decoration.
Errors: 'met a birthday cake' is wrong verb; should be 'made'. Tense should be past 'made' and 'was'. 'the simple decorate' is wrong form; use noun 'decoration'. Suggestion: Use correct verbs for actions (make a cake), and use proper noun forms ('decoration') for describing appearance.
× But I think my mom will love it because it's so meaningful and is the favorite.
✓ But I think my mom loved it because it was so meaningful and it was her favorite.
Tense consistency: referring to last year's cake requires past tense 'loved' and 'was'. 'is the favorite' is vague; better 'it was her favorite'. Suggestion: Keep past tense when talking about past events and clarify possessive relationships ('her favorite').
× To be honest, umm expensive gift don't spread my feelings like I I have a limit money but I also make sure that the gift is perfect for the recipient so my my feeling put in the gift is so thoughtful.
✓ To be honest, expensive gifts don't show my feelings; I have a limited amount of money, but I also make sure that the gift is perfect for the recipient, so the thought I put into the gift is meaningful.
Problems: 'expensive gift don't' — subject-verb agreement and pluralization: should be 'expensive gifts don't'. 'I have a limit money' should be 'I have a limited amount of money' or 'limited money'. 'my my feeling put in the gift' is awkward — express as 'the thought I put into the gift'. Suggestion: Use plural subjects with correct verb forms, and use natural expressions like 'limited amount of money' and 'the thought I put into the gift'.
