I really give gifts to others on special occasions such as their birthdays or festivals. For example, at Christmas I will prepare small gifts to my friends and family to wish them have a good fortune and happiness.
考官
What do you consider when choosing a gift?
考生
I usually choose gift according to their personal preferences and what's available. For example, my best friend Amy is passionate about joining, therefore I usually tend to buy art supplies for her such as pencils, paint, pigment and drawing papers.
考官
Have you ever given others a handmade gift?
考生
Yes, I really give handmade gifts to people I'm close to. For example, my younger sister enjoys handmade crafts, therefore I have every major embroidery which took me about a week to finish it to her as her birthday present and she was really touched.
考官
Do expensive gifts better express your feelings?
考生
No, I don't think expensive gifts can express our feelings better because our families can't be measured by price. Sometimes those inexpensive but thoughtful gifts are better. For example, I am often moved by those handmade gifts which made by my best friend.

分数: 78.0建议: 回答自然且直接,但有语法和用词不准(如“that reminds us of some significant movement”应为“that reminds us of some special moments”)。句子有点冗长,信息可更具体(如照片主题、反应)。建议注意名词复数、搭配以及用更地道的短语;控制在最多五句内并用连接词使表达更流畅。

When do you usually give gifts to others?
分数: 74.0建议: 回答直接但有语法问题(如“I really give”不自然,应为“I usually give”;“to wish them have a good fortune”应为“to wish them good fortune and happiness”)。内容可以更具体说明准备礼物的类型或习惯。建议修改常用动词和句子结构,并用连接词承接例子。

What do you consider when choosing a gift?
分数: 72.0建议: 回答思路正确,但有多处用词不当(“passionate about joining” 不明确,应为“passionate about drawing”);列举时词汇搭配需自然(用“paints”而非“pigment”,用“drawing paper”)。建议用清晰主题句,补充具体例子并使用连接词。

Have you ever given others a handmade gift?
分数: 70.0建议: 内容能回答问题但表达混乱且有语法错误(如“have every major embroidery”不通顺)。句子过长且结构不清晰,细节可更具体(说明手工种类、过程和反应)。建议用简洁的主题句,接着用一到两句具体描述并用连接词。

Do expensive gifts better express your feelings?
分数: 80.0建议: 观点明确且合理,但有小的语法和表达问题(如“which made by my best friend”应为“made by my best friend”;“our families can't be measured by price”语义不够精确)。建议稍作修饰,用连贯的两到三句加强理由并举具体例子。
示例: No, I don't think expensive gifts express feelings better because true affection isn't measured by price. Often inexpensive but thoughtful presents mean more; for example, a simple handmade card from my best friend once moved me to tears.
× I often prepare different gifts to my family or friends on their birthday or some special occasions.
✓ I often prepare different gifts for my family or friends on their birthdays or on special occasions.
使用介词时,prepare ... for 某人 更自然;而 birthday 应为复数形式表示不同人的生日;有时需要在 special occasions 前加 on 表示在某些场合。建议记住常用搭配:prepare something for someone;on someone's birthday / on special occasions。
× For example, last month I gave a homemade photo album to my younger sister Amy as her birthday gift that reminds us of some significant movement.
✓ For example, last month I gave a homemade photo album to my younger sister Amy as her birthday gift that reminded us of some significant moments.
句子描述过去发生的动作,定语从句中的动词也应使用过去时(reminded),且 movement 用法不当,表示“重要的时刻”应使用 moments(复数)。建议注意时间一致性(过去发生的事用过去时)并选择更恰当的名词。
× I really give gifts to others on special occasions such as their birthdays or festivals.
✓ I usually give gifts to others on special occasions such as their birthdays or festivals.
此处想表达“通常”而非强调程度的副词 really,使用 usually 更符合语境。虽然不是严格语法错误,但属于时态/词类选择问题。建议根据频率使用合适的副词(always/often/usually/sometimes)。
× For example, at Christmas I will prepare small gifts to my friends and family to wish them have a good fortune and happiness.
✓ For example, at Christmas I will prepare small gifts for my friends and family to wish them good fortune and happiness.
prepare ... for someone 更自然;短语 wish them have ... 语法错误,应为 wish them + 名词(wish them good fortune)或 wish them + that 从句。去掉不必要的冠词 a(good fortune 不可数)。建议固定表达:wish someone good luck / wish someone happiness / wish someone good fortune。
× I usually choose gift according to their personal preferences and what's available.
✓ I usually choose gifts according to their personal preferences and what's available.
名词数量不一致:choose gifts(复数)或 choose a gift(单数);此处多指不同人所以用复数;according to 前面不需介词变化。建议注意可数名词单复数一致。
× For example, my best friend Amy is passionate about joining, therefore I usually tend to buy art supplies for her such as pencils, paint, pigment and drawing papers.
✓ For example, my best friend Amy is passionate about drawing, so I usually buy art supplies for her, such as pencils, paints, pigments, and drawing paper.
原句中 passionate about joining 不合逻辑,应该是 passionate about drawing;therefore 连词位置和逗号使用不当,so 更口语且更通顺;名词复数和不可数用法需注意:paint 作不可数或 paints/paints(颜料可复数),drawing paper 用不可数形式。建议:检查动词搭配和并列连词的使用,以及可数/不可数名词形式。
× For example, my younger sister enjoys handmade crafts, therefore I have every major embroidery which took me about a week to finish it to her as her birthday present and she was really touched.
✓ For example, my younger sister enjoys handmade crafts; therefore I embroidered a large piece of work that took me about a week to finish as her birthday present, and she was really touched.
原句时态和结构混乱:have every major embroidery 语法不通;应用过去式 embroidered 来表示完成的动作;which 从句后不应再加 it(冗余);另外将句子拆分并用合适连接词更清晰。建议改用主动过去时并注意从句和代词指代一致。
× Do expensive gifts better express your feelings?
✓ Do expensive gifts better express your feelings?
该问题句式本身语法正确,但考生回答部分有问题:"No, I don't think expensive gifts can express our feelings better because our families can't be measured by price." 中 'our families can't be measured by price' 用法不当,应改为 'feelings can't be measured by price' 或 'people can't be measured by price'。此处指出并改写回答:"No, I don't think expensive gifts can express feelings better because feelings can't be measured by price. Sometimes inexpensive but thoughtful gifts are better." 建议关注主语搭配和被测量对象的逻辑一致性。
× For example, I am often moved by those handmade gifts which made by my best friend.
✓ For example, I am often moved by those handmade gifts made by my best friend.
关系从句中缺少被动助动词或宾语位置多余:which made by my best friend 应删去 which 或改为 which are made by my best friend。更自然的表达是直接用过去分词短语 made by my best friend。建议使用过去分词做后置定语或完整的被动从句:which are made by ...。
