Gifts— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Make your response more natural and concise: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details. Avoid repetition and unclear phrases. Use linking words (for example, because, so) to make your answer coherent.

Exemplo: Yes, I am good at giving gifts because my friends often say I have good taste. For example, I chose a personalized photo book for a friend’s birthday last year, and she told me it was one of her favorite presents.

Sugestão: Begin with a direct answer, then give a clear specific time or occasion and a short example. Reduce hesitations and avoid repeating words. Use a linking phrase like "usually" or "for example" to structure the reply.

Exemplo: I usually give gifts on special occasions and whenever I want to cheer someone up. For instance, when I receive my salary I often buy flowers or a small present for my mother to show appreciation.

Sugestão: Give a direct topic sentence and then specify concrete factors you consider. Replace fillers and vague phrases with precise examples (e.g., hobbies, profession, favourite colors). Use a linking word like "for example" to introduce specifics.

Exemplo: I consider the person’s interests and hobbies when choosing a gift. For example, if someone enjoys cooking, I might buy a unique kitchen tool, whereas for a student I would choose a useful study planner.

Sugestão: Answer directly and combine short sentences to sound more fluent. Provide one specific example with concise details (what you made, who received it, why it was meaningful). Remove redundant phrases and awkward tense use.

Exemplo: Yes, I have. When I was young I made origami cranes and gave them to my mother as presents. She treasured them because they were handmade and showed my effort.

Sugestão: State your opinion clearly, then explain briefly with a specific reason or example. Eliminate fillers and repeated words, and use a linking word such as "because" or "for example" to make your point coherent.

Exemplo: No, I don't think expensive gifts necessarily express feelings because the recipient might not like the item. For example, buying an expensive perfume can backfire if the person dislikes that scent.

× Well, I think so 'cause I heard that many of my friends that I give gifts really like love.

✓ Well, I think so because I heard that many of my friends who receive gifts from me really love them.

Original uses 'that' incorrectly to introduce a clause about friends and has awkward phrase 'give gifts' and 'really like love'. Use 'who receive gifts from me' to identify people, and 'really love them' to refer to the gifts. Also replace colloquial ''cause' with 'because' for clarity.

× And they say to me, you have a good taste in choosing gifts.

✓ And they tell me I have good taste in choosing gifts.

Original 'say to me' is wordy; 'tell me' is more natural. 'You have a good taste' is incorrect article use with 'taste' — remove 'a' and use 'good taste' when speaking generally.

× So I think, yeah, I'm really like master of choosing gifts and giving them.

✓ So I think, yeah, I'm really a master at choosing and giving gifts.

Missing article 'a' before 'master' and incorrect preposition 'of' — use 'a master at' or 'good at'. Word order improved by placing 'giving' after 'choosing' and 'gifts' as object.

× Well, I'm that kind of person who wants to make others happy, so I frequently give gifts to others especially to my mom.

✓ Well, I'm the kind of person who wants to make others happy, so I frequently give gifts, especially to my mom.

Use 'the kind' rather than 'that kind' in this context. 'Give gifts to others especially to my mom' is repetitive; streamline to 'give gifts, especially to my mom.'

× Like if I had if I got my salary, I definitely buy flowers or like some kind of gifts to my mother.

✓ If I get my salary, I definitely buy flowers or some kind of gift for my mother.

Conditional about habitual action should use present simple in 'if' clause: 'If I get my salary'. Use 'buy' for habitual present. Use 'gift' (singular or 'gifts') and 'for my mother' as correct preposition.

× While choosing gifts, I really think about a person's interests and mostly like umm about their hobbies and while they're like learning studies.

✓ When choosing gifts, I think about a person's interests, especially their hobbies and what they are studying.

Use 'when' rather than 'while' for this context. Remove filler 'like umm' and simplify 'while they're like learning studies' to 'what they are studying.' This clarifies meaning and corrects verb form.

× Yeah, I did. When I was young. I really like love to do some origami and give and gave it to my mother as a present.

✓ Yeah, I did when I was young. I loved doing origami and gave it to my mother as a present.

Use past tense 'loved' and gerund 'doing' for past habitual action. Remove redundant 'give and gave'; use 'gave it' for past action. Combine fragments into one sentence for fluency.

× And that time mostly I gave handmade gifts because I don't have many.

✓ At that time I mostly gave handmade gifts because I didn't have many.

Tense should be past ('didn't have') to match 'gave'. Also 'that time' is better as 'at that time'. The sentence refers to past situation so use past tense consistently.

× I would probably say no 'cause like if you buy an expensive perfume and to express your feelings that you are uh, appreciate or love her and if you didn't like the SA uh, scent, she would, she wouldn't, she wouldn't like it.

✓ I would probably say no, because if you buy an expensive perfume to express appreciation or love and she doesn't like the scent, she won't like the gift.

Original is fragmented and repetitive. Use 'because' not ''cause' for clarity. Remove extraneous phrase 'and to express your feelings that you are uh, appreciate or love her' and replace with 'to express appreciation or love.' Use consistent tense and subject-verb agreement: 'she doesn't like the scent, she won't like the gift.'
