考官
What do you consider when choosing a gift?
考生
I usually think about the occasion, for example a graduation or a new year, and then I take into account the recipient's interests, such as clothes, shoes or their hobbies. This helps me choose a gift that feels personal and useful.
考官
Have you ever given others a handmade gift?
考生
No, I've never been to gift a handful made present because I'm not good at makeup, clothes and shoes so I usually buy a present to my friends and family.
考官
Do expensive gifts better express your feelings?
考生
Not necessarily. I feel happier when a gift shows a giver thought about me rather than its price. A small, thoughtful present makes me feel appreciated and valued. More expensive but impersonal.

What do you consider when choosing a gift?

× Yes I like give a gift for the people like friends, family, things like that.
✓ Yes, I like giving gifts to people such as friends and family.
The verb 'like' should be followed by a gerund when expressing preference for an action (Verb + -ing form). Use 'giving' instead of 'give'. Also use plural 'gifts' for general reference and correct preposition 'to' instead of 'for'; 'such as' is more natural than 'like' in this list context.
× Sometimes I give a gift for friends other birthdays present I'm thinking about decide on gift.
✓ Sometimes I give gifts to friends for their birthdays; I think carefully before deciding on a gift.
Use 'to' with 'give' and 'for their birthdays' to indicate purpose/occasion. The original sentence lacked proper connectors and verb forms. 'I'm thinking about decide on gift' mixes forms — use 'I think carefully before deciding on a gift' to use correct verb patterns and clear sequence.
× Good job!
✓ (No correction needed for grammar; this is feedback rather than an answer.)
This utterance is feedback and not a grammatical answer to the question. Grammatically it is fine as an exclamation and does not require correction.
× I usually think about the occasion, for example a graduation or a new year, and then I take into account the recipient's interests, such as clothes, shoes or their hobbies.
✓ I usually think about the occasion, for example graduation or the New Year, and then I take into account the recipient's interests, such as clothing, shoes, or hobbies.
Use 'graduation' without an article for general occasions and capitalize 'New Year' when referring to the holiday; 'the New Year' is acceptable. 'Clothing' is a better general noun than 'clothes' in a list with 'shoes' and 'hobbies'. Also parallel structure: use nouns only ('hobbies' not 'their hobbies') to match the list.
× No, I've never been to gift a handful made present because I'm not good at makeup, clothes and shoes so I usually buy a present to my friends and family.
✓ No, I've never given a handmade gift because I'm not good at making things like clothing or shoes, so I usually buy presents for my friends and family.
The present perfect 'I've never' requires the past participle 'given', not 'been to gift'. 'Handmade' is the correct adjective order; 'handful made' is incorrect. Use 'making' (gerund) with 'good at' and 'buy presents for' (preposition 'for' and plural 'presents'). Also separate ideas with commas for clarity.
× Not necessarily. I feel happier when a gift shows a giver thought about me rather than its price. A small, thoughtful present makes me feel appreciated and valued. More expensive but impersonal.
✓ Not necessarily. I feel happier when a gift shows that the giver has thought about me rather than its price. A small, thoughtful present makes me feel appreciated and valued, whereas an expensive but impersonal gift does not.
Add 'that' to introduce the content clause and use present perfect 'has thought' to show a past action relevant now. The fragment 'More expensive but impersonal.' is incomplete; convert it into a full clause and contrast with 'whereas' or 'but' and include a verb to complete the sentence.
