Gifts— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be concise, directly answer the question with a clear topic sentence, and avoid repetition and unclear fragments. Add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Focus on a coherent short story about a recent gift.

Ví dụ: Yes, I think I'm good at giving gifts because I plan ahead and consider what the person likes. For example, last month I bought my best friend a travel pillow at the airport because she travels frequently and mentioned neck pain, so I knew it would be useful and thoughtful.

Gợi ý: This answer is clear and relevant but can be improved by adding a short supporting detail and a linking word to sound more natural. Mention one typical example to make it more specific.

Ví dụ: I usually give gifts on occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, and weddings. For instance, at birthdays I often give books or small gadgets because the recipient usually enjoys them.

Gợi ý: Start with a clear topic sentence and avoid hesitations. Use linking words to explain reasons and give a concrete example. Specify what interests or needs you check and why price is less important.

Ví dụ: First of all, I consider the recipient's interests and needs rather than the price because a useful gift feels more personal. For example, if a friend likes cooking I might buy a quality knife because they cook often and will use it daily.

Gợi ý: Good positive response but improve fluency and add a specific example and linking phrase. Avoid short fragments; explain what you made and why it mattered.

Ví dụ: Yes, definitely. I often give handmade gifts because they feel more personal and meaningful. For example, I once knitted a scarf for my cousin, and she appreciated the time and effort I put into it.

Gợi ý: Provide a clear opinion first, then support it with reasons and a concise example. Improve grammar and avoid repetition. Use linking words like 'because' or 'for example'.

Ví dụ: No, I don't think expensive gifts express feelings better because thoughtfulness matters more than price. For example, a homemade photo album that reflects shared memories can be more meaningful than an expensive, impersonal item.

× But I think I'm pretty good at giving gifts because I try to think about what the person likes and plan ahead to be straight.

✓ But I think I'm pretty good at giving gifts because I try to think about what the person likes and plan ahead to be straightforward.

The phrase 'be straight' is incorrect in this context. The intended meaning is 'be straightforward' (an adjective) or 'be straight with someone' (a fixed phrase). Use 'be straightforward' to describe planning clearly. Also maintain present simple tense for habitual actions ('try' and 'plan').

× Recently I gave I gave up at airports to my best friend because see.

✓ Recently I gave up my seat at the airport to my best friend because she needed it.

The original sentence is ungrammatical and contains repetition ('I gave I gave') and unclear phrasing ('because see'). Clarify the action ('gave up my seat'), correct singular/plural ('airport' -> 'the airport' or 'at the airport'), and provide a clear reason with a proper pronoun ('she needed it'). Use past simple for a specific past event ('gave').

× I usually give gifts to others on various types of occasion such as birthday party, anniversary and wedding.

✓ I usually give gifts to others on various occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, and weddings.

Use plural nouns for general recurring events ('birthdays, anniversaries, weddings') and 'occasions' instead of 'occasion'. Also include commas in a list. Article 'a' before 'birthday party' is unnecessary when speaking generally.

× First of all, I consider. The recipients interest and the need rather than about the the money.

✓ First of all, I consider the recipient's interests and needs rather than the money.

The original has a sentence fragment ('I consider.'), missing possessive ('recipient's'), incorrect singular/plural ('interests and needs'), and an extra 'the' ('the the money'). Combine into one sentence and use correct possessive and plurality.

× Uh, for example, I gave up.

✓ For example, once I gave up my seat for someone at a concert.

'I gave up' is an incomplete statement; it requires an object (what was given up) and context. Provide a complete clause using past simple and specify the object to make the example meaningful.

× Yes, definitely. I always give handmade gift with uh. Something beautiful.

✓ Yes, definitely. I always give handmade gifts with something beautiful.

Use plural 'gifts' when speaking generally and avoid sentence fragments separated by periods. Combine into one smooth sentence. 'With something beautiful' explains the accompaniment.

× As handmade gift contains our love.

✓ Because handmade gifts contain our love.

Use a full clause beginning with 'because' to show reason, plural 'gifts' for generalization, and present simple 'contain' for general truth. The original fragment 'As handmade gift contains our love.' is awkward and needs correction.

× Well I don't think so that expensive gives better expensive feelings.

✓ Well, I don't think that expensive gifts express feelings better.

The original repeats 'expensive' and misuses 'gives better expensive feelings.' Replace with 'expensive gifts' and 'express feelings better' for natural English. Use 'that' after 'think' in reported clause.

× I consider that handmade gifts as well as non expensive gifts that's actually works on other person needs that express your feelings most.

✓ I believe that handmade gifts, as well as inexpensive gifts that meet another person's needs, express your feelings the most.

Correct adjective form 'inexpensive' rather than 'non expensive', fix subject-verb agreement ('gifts ... express' not 'works'), and rephrase 'other person needs' to 'another person's needs'. Use 'express your feelings the most' for clear comparison.
