Gifts— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your answer is somewhat repetitive and contains some awkward phrasing. Try to be more concise and natural by directly stating your difficulty and how you overcome it. Also, avoid redundancy like 'gifting gifts' and unclear phrases like 'want to retrieve as a gift.'

Example: I'm not very good at giving gifts because I often don't know what people want. However, I usually ask them directly to make sure I choose something they will like.

Suggestion: Your answer is unclear and contains grammatical errors and awkward expressions. Try to answer directly when you give gifts, and explain briefly with clear reasons. Avoid vague phrases like 'some kind of stuffs' and incorrect grammar.

Example: I usually give gifts on special occasions like birthdays or holidays. However, I don't have many friends who celebrate these events, and sometimes I can't afford to buy gifts.

Suggestion: Your answer is incomplete and grammatically incorrect. Make sure to complete your sentences and clearly explain what you consider when choosing a gift. Use linking words to connect your ideas smoothly.

Example: When choosing a gift, I consider the person's taste because everyone has different preferences. For example, if they like books, I might buy a novel they would enjoy.

Suggestion: Your answer is mostly clear but contains some grammar mistakes and an unclear ending. Avoid phrases like 'that's how my professionalism.' Instead, explain why you gave handmade gifts and what they meant.

Example: Yes, when I was a child, I often made handmade gifts for my mother. For example, I created postcards with wishes and photos to show my love and appreciation.

Suggestion: Your answer has some unclear and awkward phrases like 'happy and sophisticated.' Try to express your opinion clearly and support it with reasons. Avoid vague statements and use natural expressions.

Example: I believe that expensive gifts can show strong feelings because they require effort and thought. However, the most important thing is the meaning behind the gift, not the price.

× I think that I'm not good at gifting gifts because I just don't know what people want to retrieve as a gift.

✓ I think that I'm not good at giving gifts because I just don't know what people want to receive as a gift.

The verb 'gifting' is less commonly used and sounds awkward here; 'giving' is the correct verb form. Also, 'retrieve' is incorrect in this context; the correct verb is 'receive' when talking about accepting a gift.

× But I really try to ask for them what they want and try to present a real cool gift.

✓ But I really try to ask them what they want and try to present a really cool gift.

The phrase 'ask for them what they want' is incorrect; it should be 'ask them what they want.' Also, 'real cool' should be 'really cool' because 'really' is the correct adverb modifying the adjective 'cool'.

× Where we rare? Firstly, I don't have any money to gifting gifts any day.

✓ Where we are rare? Firstly, I don't have any money to give gifts any day.

The sentence 'Where we rare?' is unclear and likely a misphrasing; it might be intended as 'Where we are rare?' but still unclear. Also, 'to gifting gifts' is incorrect; the correct form is 'to give gifts.' The phrase 'any day' is awkward here; 'on any day' or 'at any time' would be better.

× Secondly, I don't have a lot of friends who have occasions like party birthdays and some kind of stuffs and I just think that it is horrible for me because I want to give.

✓ Secondly, I don't have many friends who have occasions like birthday parties and some kinds of stuff, and I just think that it is horrible for me because I want to give.

Use 'many' with countable nouns like 'friends.' 'Party birthdays' should be 'birthday parties.' 'Some kind of stuffs' is incorrect; 'some kinds of stuff' or 'some kinds of things' is correct. The sentence is long and could be clearer with proper conjunctions.

× I tried to consider a taste of the person who I need to present a gift because many of my friends have a specific taste on things, what they want and I.

✓ I try to consider the taste of the person to whom I need to present a gift because many of my friends have specific tastes in the things they want.

The sentence has tense inconsistency ('tried' should be 'try' to match present context). 'A taste' should be 'the taste.' 'Who I need to present a gift' is incorrect; it should be 'to whom I need to present a gift.' 'Specific taste on things' should be 'specific tastes in things.' The ending 'what they want and I' is incomplete and unclear, so it is omitted for clarity.

× Yes, when I was child, I always gave a handmade gift to my mother.

✓ Yes, when I was a child, I always gave handmade gifts to my mother.

The phrase 'when I was child' is missing the article 'a.' Also, 'a handmade gift' should be plural 'handmade gifts' if referring to multiple occasions, which fits better with 'always.'

× I did some postcards with wishes and her photographs on the cards.

✓ I made some postcards with wishes and her photographs on the cards.

The verb 'did' is incorrect here; 'made' is the correct verb for creating postcards. The rest of the sentence is acceptable.

× And that's how my professionalism.

✓ And that's how I showed my professionalism.

The original sentence lacks a verb and is incomplete. Adding 'I showed' completes the sentence and clarifies the meaning.

× I think that if you love the person a lot, you try to give expressive gifts.

✓ I think that if you love the person a lot, you try to give expressive gifts.

This sentence is grammatically correct; no correction needed.

× For doing that, this person will be happy and sophisticated.

✓ By doing that, this person will be happy and satisfied.

The phrase 'For doing that' is incorrect; 'By doing that' is the correct prepositional phrase. Also, 'sophisticated' is not appropriate to describe a person's emotional state; 'satisfied' or 'pleased' fits better.

× So I think that expensive gifts would be better option.

✓ So I think that expensive gifts would be a better option.

The sentence is missing the article 'a' before 'better option.'
