分數: 62.0建議: Fix tense, word choice and clarity. Start with a direct yes/no topic sentence, then describe the handmade gift and why it mattered using correct adjectives (e.g., 'heartfelt' not 'hurtful'). Keep to 2–3 sentences and give one specific detail of the card.
範例: Yes, I have. I once made a handmade birthday card for a close friend, decorating it with photos and personal notes; the card felt very heartfelt and meaningful. My friend said they preferred it to a store-bought present because it showed I had spent time and thought on it.
Do expensive gifts better express your feelings?
分數: 60.0建議: Clarify and correct grammar and vocabulary. Give a clear opinion in the topic sentence and support it with reasons and a short example. Avoid unclear phrases and numeric errors ('4'). Use linking words such as 'although' and 'because'.
範例: Not necessarily.

For example, a carefully chosen book with a personal note can mean more than an expensive gadget bought without much thought.
× So I would say I'm fairly good at it.
✓ I would say I'm fairly good at it.
No grammar change needed; sentence is correct. Keep present tense 'I'm' to describe current ability.
× So I usually put a lot of effort into understanding what the persons really need or enjoy so which help me choosing the something suitable.
✓ I usually put a lot of effort into understanding what people really need or enjoy, which helps me choose something suitable.
'Persons' is awkward; use 'people'. The clause 'which helps me choose' requires 'helps' for subject-verb agreement and the base verb 'choose' (not 'choosing') after 'helps me'. Remove unnecessary 'the'.
× However, there's a times when it's still a bit unsure, especially when I'm buying gifts for people I don't know very well.
✓ However, there are times when I'm still a bit unsure, especially when I'm buying gifts for people I don't know very well.
Use 'there are' with plural 'times' (subject-verb agreement). Also use 'I'm' unsure rather than 'it's' to refer to the speaker's feeling.
× So I mostly leave it on the significant milestone like birthday anniversaries or the that holiday.
✓ I mostly save them for significant milestones like birthdays, anniversaries, or holidays.
Use 'save them for' rather than 'leave it on'. Use plural 'birthdays' and 'anniversaries' and remove incorrect article 'the that'.
× So. However, I'm also a fan of spontaneous gift giving so sometimes it's more token of appreciation just to brighten someone day is more meaningful.
✓ However, I'm also a fan of spontaneous gift giving, so sometimes a small token of appreciation just to brighten someone's day is more meaningful.
Remove fragmented 'So.' Combine clauses correctly. Use 'a small token' and possessive 'someone's day'. Maintain subject-verb agreement: 'a small token ... is'.
× So when choosing a gift so I usually take into account or recipients ref references and personalities.
✓ When choosing a gift, I usually take into account recipients' preferences and personalities.
Remove redundant 'so'. Use the possessive plural 'recipients'' and correct word 'preferences' instead of 'ref references'.
× So I try to pick something that is more thoughtful and meaningful rather than just expensive.
✓ I try to pick something that is thoughtful and meaningful rather than just expensive.
Comparative 'more thoughtful' is unnecessary; use adjectives in normal form. The sentence is otherwise correct.
× I also consider whether is the gift is practical and useful in their daily life so at that tends to make it more appreciate.
✓ I also consider whether the gift is practical and useful in their daily life, as that tends to make it more appreciated.
Remove extra 'is' ('whether the gift is'). Use 'as' for reason. Use past participle 'appreciated' to describe how the gift is perceived.
× So yes, I have, I once make a handmade card for my close friend on their birthday.
✓ Yes, I have. I once made a handmade card for my close friend on their birthday.
Use past tense 'made' for a completed past action. Separate sentences for clarity.
× So those are quite simple, Uh, but it's very personalized and hurtful.
✓ They were quite simple, but very personal and heartfelt.
Use past tense 'were' to match previous sentence. 'Personal' and 'heartfelt' are the correct adjectives; 'hurtful' has opposite meaning.
× So which make it more structured than a store valve gift.
✓ This made it more meaningful than a store-bought gift.
Use 'this' as the subject and past tense 'made'. 'Store-bought' is correct compound adjective; 'meaningful' fits context better than 'structured'.
× So not necessarily So why luxury time are nice? I believe they're emotional resonance of the gift come from the effort and thought put into it.
✓ Not necessarily. While luxury items can be nice, I believe the emotional resonance of a gift comes from the effort and thought put into it.
Fix sentence fragments. Use 'items' and 'while' for contrast. Correct subject-verb agreement: 'resonance ... comes'.
× So a symbol well choosing items can often convey 4 far more similarly than an overpriced impersonal object.
✓ A well-chosen, meaningful item can often convey far more than an overpriced, impersonal object.
Replace 'symbol well choosing items' with 'well-chosen, meaningful item'. Remove stray '4' and 'similarly'. Use comparative 'far more than' structure.
