Part 1
考官
Are you good at giving gifts?
考生
No, I'm not very good at giving gifts because I am quite introverted and often feel awkward to give gifts in person. I usually prefer send messages and transfer money through WeChat, which makes me more comfortable.
考官
When do you usually give gifts to others?
考生
I usually give gifts mainly on holidays and birthdays to express my best wishes. For example, at Christmas, I often buy small products to my friends and family, which brings us closer.
考官
What do you consider when choosing a gift?
考生
When I choose a gift, I mainly consider its price and I don't want to spend a lot on something that my friends won't like. For example, I would prefer to buy some practical and small items.
考官
Have you ever given others a handmade gift?
考生
Yes, it was my friend's birthday so I decided to sue a pig, which is his favorite animal, to show my best wishes. I remember on that day he was really happy when he received the gift which made me feel proud.
考官
Do expensive gifts better express your feelings?
考生
No, I don't think so. I believe giving gifts is a way to convey your feeling and express your wishes and sometimes small and practical items. Can be more meaningful because it shows you know the person's taste.

× I usually prefer send messages and transfer money through WeChat, which makes me more comfortable.
✓ I usually prefer sending messages and transferring money through WeChat, which makes me more comfortable.
动词 prefer 后需接动名词(V-ing)或 to do,两种结构均可,但在此句中与并列动词一致用法为 prefer doing,且两个动作保持平行结构,应使用 sending 和 transferring。建议记住常见动词(like, enjoy, prefer, avoid 等)后接 V-ing。
× I often buy small products to my friends and family, which brings us closer.
✓ I often buy small products for my friends and family, which brings us closer.
中文提示:此句主要问题是介词使用错误(为 who/whom 用 for),将朋友和家人作为接受者时应使用介词 for 而非 to。虽然列为复数问题列表,但更准确是介词错误;按要求仅修正列表中类型,这里选择最贴近的可接受修改:修正为 for。建议把 buy ... for sb 固定搭配记住。
× For example, I would prefer to buy some practical and small items.
✓ For example, I would prefer to buy some small, practical items.
形容词顺序和搭配问题:在英语中形容词通常遵循一定顺序(数量/大小/性质/用途),small(大小)通常在 practical(性质)之前,所以改为 small, practical items 更自然。建议学习常见形容词顺序规则以提高表达地道性。
× Yes, it was my friend's birthday so I decided to sue a pig, which is his favorite animal, to show my best wishes.
✓ Yes, it was my friend's birthday, so I decided to sew a pig, which is his favorite animal, to show my best wishes.
原句中使用了错字 'sue'(起诉)而非 'sew'(缝制),导致句子结构和意思错误。应为 sew a pig(缝一个小猪玩偶)来表达手工礼物。建议注意同形近词和拼写,写完后检查是否符合语境。
× I remember on that day he was really happy when he received the gift which made me feel proud.
✓ I remember that day he was really happy when he received the gift, which made me feel proud.
句子需要更自然的连接:在记忆性描述中常用 remember that day 或 I remember the day. 此外在 which 前加逗号以引出非限制性定语从句,强调收到礼物使我感到自豪。建议调整时间状语的位置并使用标点改善可读性。
× I believe giving gifts is a way to convey your feeling and express your wishes and sometimes small and practical items. Can be more meaningful because it shows you know the person's taste.
✓ I believe giving gifts is a way to convey your feelings and express your wishes, and sometimes small and practical items can be more meaningful because they show you know the person's taste.
原句存在句子碎片('Can be more meaningful' 缺主语)和单复数错误(feeling 应为 feelings),以及并列结构混乱。修正包括:1) feelings(感情)用复数更自然;2) 将碎片句并入主句并补上主语 small and practical items can...;3) 将 shows 改为 they show 以保持主谓一致。建议写复杂句时注意主语和谓语完整,检查碎片句并调整单复数一致。
