礼物— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Be careful with grammar, word choice and clarity. Start with a clear topic sentence, correct verb forms, and avoid unclear phrases (e.g., “washing it”). Add one specific detail about why the friend liked the card and use a linking word. Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

範例: Yes, I believe I am. My friends often compliment the presents I choose, so I try to pick things that suit their tastes. For example, at last year’s Christmas gift exchange I gave a small handmade card that matched my friend’s vintage style, and she said it felt very personal and thoughtful.

建議: Fix subject–verb agreement (“gives” → “give”) and keep answers brief and natural. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one specific example with a linking word. Mention one additional occasion if relevant to show range.

範例: I usually give presents on birthdays and during festivals. For example, at Christmas my friends and I exchange small, thoughtful gifts because it’s a festive time when we enjoy surprising each other.

建議: Good structure and relevance. Improve by adding a linking phrase to explain reasoning and one more specific detail (e.g., color, material) to make the answer more vivid. Keep it concise.

範例: I consider what the recipient wants and what would be most useful to them. For instance, I chose a thick handmade scarf in her favorite color last Christmas because she needed something warm for the winter.

建議: Good content and personal detail. Improve grammar (add articles, possessives and correct verb forms), use a linking word and keep it within 3–4 sentences. Specify when or for whom to add concreteness.

範例: Yes, I have. I enjoy making handmade gifts because they feel more personal; for example, I painted a portrait for my friend’s birthday last year, and she said it was one of the most meaningful presents she had ever received.

建議: Clear opinion but fix grammar and word choice issues (e.g., “does not depends” → “does not depend”, “expensive impression” unclear). Use a linking word to contrast and give a specific example with a brief explanation of emotional impact.

範例: I don't think so because the value of a gift does not depend on its cost. I prefer handmade presents since they show thoughtfulness; for instance, a handmade photo album I received was far more meaningful to me than an expensive gadget, because it reminded me of shared memories.

× For example, at Christmas Gifts exchange last year I chose a small handmade card for my friend and she really like it because it matched her style and was exactly washing it.

✓ For example, at the Christmas gift exchange last year I chose a small handmade card for my friend and she really liked it because it matched her style and was exactly what she wanted.

Errors: missing definite article before 'Christmas gift exchange' and pluralization/word choice ('Gifts exchange' -> 'gift exchange'); verb tense/agreement ('like' -> 'liked'); incorrect phrase 'was exactly washing it' which is ungrammatical and should be 'was exactly what she wanted'. Suggestion: use 'the' with specific events, use singular 'gift exchange', ensure past tense consistency, and replace unclear phrases with standard expressions like 'what she wanted'.

× I usually gives presents on birthdays and during festivals.

✓ I usually give presents on birthdays and during festivals.

Error: verb does not agree with subject 'I'. In present simple, after 'I' the base form 'give' is used, not 'gives'. Suggestion: use 'give' for I/we/you/they; 'gives' only with he/she/it.

× For example, I chose a handmade scarf for my friend at Christmas because it was the item she needed the most in winter.

✓ For example, I chose a handmade scarf for my friend at Christmas because it was the item she needed most in winter.

Error: slight redundancy with 'the most' and preposition use. While not strictly incorrect, 'needed most' is more natural. Suggestion: use 'needed most' for fluency; keep past tense 'chose' and 'was' consistent.

× Yes I have, I enjoy making handmade gifts for family and friends because they feel more personal and thoughtful.

✓ Yes, I have. I enjoy making handmade gifts for family and friends because they feel more personal and thoughtful.

Error: punctuation and clause boundary rather than verb form; however 'Yes I have, I enjoy' should be split into two sentences or use a conjunction. Suggestion: write 'Yes, I have.' then 'I enjoy...' to correctly separate responses.

× For example, I paint a portrait for my friends birthday and she was really delighted and said it was one of the most meaningful presents she had ever received.

✓ For example, I painted a portrait for my friend's birthday and she was really delighted and said it was one of the most meaningful presents she had ever received.

Errors: verb tense ('paint' should be past 'painted') and missing possessive apostrophe in 'friend's'. Suggestion: use past tense to match 'was' and add apostrophe for possessive.

× Do expensive gifts better express your feelings?

✓ Do expensive gifts better express your feelings?

This sentence is grammatically acceptable; no change required. Note: could rephrase 'Do expensive gifts express your feelings better?' but original fits question form; no correction provided.

× The value of a gift does not depends on its cost.

✓ The value of a gift does not depend on its cost.

Error: verb form after auxiliary 'does' should be base form 'depend', not 'depends'. Also this is subject-verb agreement with auxiliary. Suggestion: use 'does not depend' when forming negatives in present simple.

× I prefer handmade presents because they show thoughtfulness and have more sentimental value.

✓ I prefer handmade presents because they show thoughtfulness and have greater sentimental value.

'More sentimental value' is understandable but 'greater sentimental value' is more idiomatic. Suggestion: use 'greater' or 'more' consistently; both are acceptable but 'greater' is preferable in formal speech.

× For instance, a photo album I have received is much more meaningful than an expensive impression.

✓ For instance, a photo album I received is much more meaningful than an expensive gift.

Errors: awkward word order 'a photo album I have received' can be simplified to 'a photo album I received'; 'expensive impression' is incorrect collocation—should be 'expensive gift'. Suggestion: use correct collocations and prefer simpler past tense forms in spoken narrative.
