考官
What do you consider when choosing a gift?
考生
Well, the first thing I consider is how close we are, that is to say whether we are good friends or just common one. And another thing I will consider is whether this gift is meaningful.
考官
Have you ever given others a handmade gift?

Yes, of course it's a gift for my mother's birthday and may give, I suppose. Don't need to be so luxury, but meaningful. And it's a very proper way to show my love to my mom.
考官
Do expensive gifts better express your feelings?
考生
I recall that expensive gift cannot better express my feelings because it can only show off my wealth. But meaningless and I suppose, uh, meaningful gifts. Even handmade 1 is much better.
Are you good at giving gifts?
分数: 66.0建议: 答案直截了当但有重复("what what"),句子较短且缺少细节。建议先用一句主题句直接回答,然后用一到两句具体说明原因并加连接词(例如 because / so / therefore)。注意发音清晰,避免重复同词。
示例: Not really — I'm not very good at choosing gifts because I often don't know what my friends and family actually want. For example, my sister prefers practical items while my friends like experiences, so I usually ask subtle questions beforehand.
When do you usually give gifts to others?

What do you consider when choosing a gift?
分数: 74.0建议: 回答结构合理但有语法和用词错误("common one" 不自然)。建议先有主题句,然后用连接词列举两点,用更准确表达如 "acquaintances" 或 "casual friends",并给出具体例子说明“meaningful”。
示例: I mainly consider how close I am to the person and whether the gift is meaningful. For instance, for a close friend I might choose a personalized item, while for an acquaintance I would pick something simple like a nice notebook.
Have you ever given others a handmade gift?
分数: 60.0建议: 回答含糊且语法混乱(时态和句子结构不清),信息不连贯。建议先明确肯定回答,然后简洁描述何时、做了什么以及为什么有意义,使用连接词(because / so)并保持句子不超过五句。

Do expensive gifts better express your feelings?
分数: 62.0建议: 观点明确但表达混乱,句子碎片较多且词汇使用不准(例如 "meaningless and I suppose")。建议先给出直接观点,然后用一到两句解释理由并举例比较,保持连贯。
示例: No, I don't think expensive gifts express feelings better because money can show status but not thoughtfulness. For example, a handmade card or a thoughtful letter often means more than an expensive gadget.
× Well, I'm not good at giving gifts most of the time. I'm not sure what what my friends and my family want to have.
✓ Well, I'm not good at giving gifts most of the time. I'm not sure what my friends and family want.
原句中有重复的单词“what what”,且“my friends and my family”中的第二个“my”可省略使表达更自然;另外动词搭配用“want”后直接接所需事物,应该省略多余的“to have”。建议检查重复词并简化并列名词的所有格。
× For example, when someone's birthday is coming, I will prepare a special gift for him or her.
✓ For example, when someone's birthday is coming, I prepare/I'll prepare a special gift for them.
中文要点:在描述习惯性或计划性的动作时,可用一般现在时或将来时都可接受。原句用“will prepare”与“when ... is coming”搭配略显重复;同时用“him or her”繁复,可用中性代词“them”更自然。建议根据语境选择时态:若强调习惯用一般现在时(I prepare),强调将来或计划则用 will 或 I'm going to。
× ...whether we are good friends or just common one.
✓ ...whether we are good friends or just casual acquaintances.
原句中的“common one”用法不当。“common”不是用来描述人与人关系的常见词,且“one”指代不清。应使用“casual acquaintance(s)”或“just acquaintances”表示“只是普通朋友/泛泛之交”。建议使用固定搭配描述人际关系。
× And another thing I will consider is whether this gift is meaningful.
✓ Another thing I consider is whether the gift is meaningful.
原句语法并无大错,但与前文时态混用(之前说“the first thing I consider”),保持时态一致更好。将“I will consider”改为一般现在时“I consider”更符合列举考虑因素的表达习惯。建议在列举时统一使用一般现在时。
× Yes, of course it's a gift for my mother's birthday and may give, I suppose.
✓ Yes, of course — I made a gift for my mother's birthday and gave it to her, I suppose.
原句中“it's a gift for my mother's birthday and may give”结构混乱且动词时态与语态不明。应明确主语和动作:如果是过去的手工礼物,应使用过去时“made”/“gave”。建议将句子重构为明确的主谓宾结构并使用正确时态。
× Don't need to be so luxury, but meaningful.
✓ It doesn't need to be so luxurious, but it should be meaningful.
原句“so luxury”错误,luxury是名词或形容词形式luxurious应作表语;此外缺少主语和谓语。应用完整句“It doesn't need to be so luxurious”并用“meaningful”说明另一个特征。建议注意形容词形式与完整句结构。
× And it's a very proper way to show my love to my mom.
✓ And it's a very appropriate way to show my love to my mom.
“proper”在此语境可用但“appropriate”更自然;语法本身可以,但用词更佳。建议根据语境选择更地道的形容词。
× Do expensive gifts better express your feelings?
✓ Do expensive gifts better express your feelings?
该题为考官提问无错误;保持原句。无需更改。
× I recall that expensive gift cannot better express my feelings because it can only show off my wealth.
✓ I think that expensive gifts cannot better express my feelings because they only show off my wealth.
原句中“recall”用法不自然,描述观点用“I think”更合适;“expensive gift”应为复数“gifts”或用定冠词“an expensive gift”,且主谓一致需要复数代词“they”。建议注意数的一致性并用恰当的动词表达观点。
× But meaningless and I suppose, uh, meaningful gifts. Even handmade 1 is much better.
✓ But I suppose meaningless gifts don't express much; meaningful gifts, even handmade ones, are much better.
原句断裂且结构混乱,“But meaningless and I suppose, uh, meaningful gifts”无法成句;“Even handmade 1”有误。应整理为完整句子,明确主语和谓语,并使用复数“ones”来指代礼物。建议说话时组织完整句子,先给出对比结论再用例子支持。
