礼物— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Make your response slightly more concise and correct minor grammar (use present tense and smoother linking). Start with a clear topic sentence, then briefly explain why with one linking phrase and a specific example. Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

範例: Yes, I’m quite good at giving gifts. I prefer practical presents because they are useful in daily life, so the recipient benefits long after the occasion. For example, I gave a friend a power bank for her birthday, and she still uses it regularly.

建議: Be careful with tense and redundancy. Begin with a direct topic sentence about occasions, then give one concise reason with a linking word. Avoid repeating similar ideas. Use correct tense for planned gifts.

範例: I usually give gifts on birthdays and at Christmas because these occasions make people feel appreciated. For instance, I’m planning to give my mom a perfume for her birthday this year.

建議: Good content and a clear example. Improve grammar (singular/plural agreement) and use a linking phrase to connect idea and example. Slightly shorten to avoid repetition.

範例: I mainly consider how practical a gift is. Because practical items are useful every day, they feel more meaningful and won’t be wasted; for example, I gave a friend a power bank and she still uses it now.

建議: Correct the grammar and make the contrast clearer. Use one linking word (however, instead) and keep sentences concise. Clarify what you did give and why it mattered.

範例: I haven’t given handmade crafts because I’m not very skilled; however, I often make decorated handwritten letters for birthdays or other occasions, which I think are more meaningful.

建議: Fix repetition and grammar, and provide a clear reason with a linking phrase. Give one brief specific example of a meaningful low-cost gift to support your view.

範例: No, I don't think expensive gifts express feelings best. Instead, I prefer items that remind someone of a shared memory; for example, a framed photo from a trip we took together means more to me than an expensive gadget.

× I consider myself great at gift giving.

✓ I consider myself great at giving gifts.

'Gift giving' as a noun phrase is acceptable but 'giving gifts' is a more natural verb phrase here; change improves word order and collocation. Use 'giving gifts' to match common English expression.

× Especially I chose practical gifts that are usable in daily life.

✓ Especially, I choose practical gifts that are useful in daily life.

The sentence mixes past tense 'chose' with general present habit. Use present simple 'choose' for habitual actions. Also 'usable in daily life' is awkward; 'useful in daily life' or 'practical for daily use' is natural.

× For example, during my friend's birthday, I gifted her a power bank, which is very practical.

✓ For example, for my friend's birthday I gave her a power bank, which was very practical.

In conversational English, 'gave' is more natural than 'gifted' for a past action; keep past tense consistently and use 'was' to agree with past context.

× I usually give gifts on birthdays and Christmas because those occasions are special and by giving gifts to them on that day makes them feel a lot more appreciated and makes them feel remembered.

✓ I usually give gifts on birthdays and at Christmas because those occasions are special, and giving gifts on those days makes people feel more appreciated and remembered.

Use 'at Christmas' and avoid 'to them' repetition; change 'by giving gifts to them on that day makes' to 'giving gifts on those days makes' to fix sentence structure and subject clarity. Use 'people' or 'them' consistently; remove redundant 'a lot'.

× For example, I'm giving my mom a perfume because I'm reminded.

✓ For example, I gave my mom a perfume because I was reminded.

Context suggests a past action (example of giving), so use past simple 'gave' and 'was reminded'. If it is a planned future action, use 'I am going to give' instead. 'A perfume' is acceptable, but 'a bottle of perfume' is more specific.

× I consider the practicality of the item.

✓ I consider an item's practicality.

Both forms are grammatical; revised version is more concise and idiomatic. No tense change needed.

× I find that choosing practical gifts that can be used in everyday lives are a lot more meaningful and it doesn't go to waste.

✓ I find that choosing practical gifts that can be used in everyday life is much more meaningful and they don't go to waste.

'Everyday life' is an uncountable noun (singular); 'gifts' is plural so the verb should be 'are' referring to 'gifts' but the clause 'choosing ... is' makes the subject singular. Better rephrase: 'choosing practical gifts ... is' or change pronouns consistently: 'they don't go to waste' to match plural 'gifts'. Also use 'much more' instead of 'a lot more' for formality.

× For example, I gifted my friend a power bank and she said she still uses it up to this day.

✓ For example, I gave my friend a power bank, and she said she still uses it to this day.

Use 'gave' for past simple and 'to this day' is the correct idiom; remove redundant 'up'.

× I have never given others a handmade gift because I'm not the talented, but I have given them handwritten letters that I decorated myself, especially during their birthdays or any other occasion, and I think it makes the gift a lot more meaningful and special.

✓ I have never given anyone a handmade gift because I'm not talented, but I have given people handwritten letters that I decorated myself, especially on their birthdays or other occasions, and I think those gifts are much more meaningful and special.

Use 'anyone' or 'people' instead of 'others' and remove 'the' before 'talented'. Use 'on their birthdays' rather than 'during their birthdays'. Match plural 'letters' with plural pronoun and verb: 'those gifts are'. Use 'much more' for clarity.

× No, I don't think that expensive gifts are the best way to show your feelings.

✓ No, I don't think expensive gifts are the best way to show your feelings.

Removing 'that' makes the sentence more natural; the original is acceptable but cleaner without 'that'. Not strictly an error, but a stylistic improvement.

× Personally, I think an item that evokes feelings or there's something a shared memory about it is a better way to it's a better gift.

✓ Personally, I think an item that evokes feelings or is connected to a shared memory is a better gift.

The original mixes clauses and repeats 'it's a better'. Reconstruct sentence to parallel structure: 'an item that evokes feelings or is connected to a shared memory' and finish with 'is a better gift'. This fixes sentence structure and redundancy.
