First of all, during some special occasions like graduation ceremony or the New Year's Eve, I would like to give gifts in order to show my way best wishes to them. And on their birthday I also like to give their gifts in order to.
考官
What do you consider when choosing a gift?
考生
I usually consider their preference and their needs. I want my gifts can be used in their daily life instead of just a decoration, so I will pay attention to what they have said and what they need to choose the gift.

Definitely yes, I usually made handmade birthday card to my friends. I think it is unique although it is not pricey but it shows the time and effort I put on and I think they will be happy and more.
考官
Do expensive gifts better express your feelings?
考生
I don't think so, but if someone give me the newest iPhone I will be extremely happy. But I'd say the most important is their time and efforts they put on. The price is just one part of the gift.

× Yes, I believe I am good at giving gifts for example last month I bought a badminton bag to one of my friends who are big fan of badminton and she said that it was the most it was the best gift she have received and I.
✓ Yes, I believe I am good at giving gifts. For example, last month I bought a badminton bag for one of my friends who is a big fan of badminton, and she said that it was the best gift she had received.
Errors: 'who are big fan' should be 'who is a big fan' because the relative clause refers to one friend (singular) so the verb must agree with a singular subject (subject-verb agreement). 'Bought ... to one of my friends' is incorrect preposition use; use 'for' to indicate the recipient. 'It was the most it was the best' is redundant and ungrammatical—choose 'the best'. 'She have received' uses the wrong verb form; for past perfect with a past reference use 'had received'. Also sentence run-on: break into two sentences and add commas for clarity. Suggestions: match singular/plural subjects and verbs, use 'for' with 'buy something for someone', use past perfect 'had received' to show prior experience, and avoid redundancy by choosing one superlative phrase.
× First of all, during some special occasions like graduation ceremony or the New Year's Eve, I would like to give gifts in order to show my way best wishes to them.
✓ First of all, during some special occasions like a graduation ceremony or New Year's Eve, I like to give gifts to show my best wishes to them.
Errors: missing article before 'graduation ceremony' (use 'a graduation ceremony'). Do not use 'the' with 'New Year's Eve' in this general sense. Phrase 'show my way best wishes' is ungrammatical; correct is 'show my best wishes'. 'I would like' is not wrong but 'I like' fits habitual action; either is acceptable. Suggestions: include appropriate articles before singular countable nouns and use standard collocations ('show my best wishes').
× And on their birthday I also like to give their gifts in order to.
✓ And on their birthdays I also like to give them gifts.
Errors: 'give their gifts' incorrectly uses possessive instead of object pronoun—should be 'give them gifts'. 'Birthday' should be plural 'birthdays' when speaking generally about different people. The sentence was incomplete ('in order to' needs a purpose); removing it yields a complete, natural sentence. Suggestions: use object pronouns for recipients, pluralize when speaking generally, and avoid dangling 'in order to' unless followed by a purpose clause.
× I usually consider their preference and their needs.
✓ I usually consider their preferences and their needs.
Error: 'preference' should be plural 'preferences' when referring to multiple people or multiple types of preference. Keep pronoun 'their' consistent. Suggestion: pluralize countable nouns when referring to more than one person or multiple items.
× I want my gifts can be used in their daily life instead of just a decoration, so I will pay attention to what they have said and what they need to choose the gift.
✓ I want my gifts to be useful in their daily lives instead of just decorations, so I pay attention to what they say and what they need when choosing a gift.
Errors: 'I want my gifts can be used' mixes structures; correct is 'I want my gifts to be used' or better 'to be useful'. 'Daily life' should be plural 'daily lives' when referring to multiple people. 'Just a decoration' should be plural 'just decorations' to match 'gifts'. Tense consistency: use simple present 'say' for habitual statements, and 'when choosing a gift' is the correct gerund phrase to indicate purpose. Suggestions: use infinitive after 'want' ('to be'), pluralize appropriately, and use parallel and concise phrasing.
× Definitely yes, I usually made handmade birthday card to my friends.
✓ Definitely yes, I usually make handmade birthday cards for my friends.
Errors: 'usually made' mixes past tense with 'usually' (habitual action should be simple present 'usually make'). 'Handmade birthday card' should be plural 'handmade birthday cards' for multiple friends. Use 'for' with 'cards for my friends'. Suggestions: use simple present for habitual actions and pluralize countable nouns.
× I think it is unique although it is not pricey but it shows the time and effort I put on and I think they will be happy and more.
✓ I think it is unique. Although it is not expensive, it shows the time and effort I put into it, and I think they will be very happy.
Errors: 'not pricey but' is awkward; use 'not expensive'. Run-on sentence and conjunction misuse: separate ideas and use appropriate connectors. 'Put on' is incorrect for 'put into' when referring to effort invested. 'Happy and more' is vague—replace with 'very happy'. Suggestions: choose precise adjectives, use correct phrasal verbs ('put into'), avoid vague endings, and split long sentences for clarity.
× I don't think so, but if someone give me the newest iPhone I will be extremely happy.
✓ I don't think so, but if someone gave me the newest iPhone I would be extremely happy.
Error: conditional form mismatch. For a hypothetical situation contrary to present reality, use the second conditional: 'if someone gave me... I would be...'. Also 'give' should be 'gave' to match. Suggestions: use second conditional (past tense in 'if' clause and would + base verb in main clause) for unreal/hypothetical situations.
× But I'd say the most important is their time and efforts they put on.
✓ But I'd say the most important thing is the time and effort they put in.
Errors: missing noun after 'most important'—use 'most important thing'. 'Their time and efforts'—'effort' is usually uncountable here; use singular 'effort' or 'efforts' with consistent article. 'Put on' is incorrect; correct phrasal verb is 'put in' (put effort in). Also include definite article 'the' before 'time and effort' for specificity. Suggestions: add the noun 'thing' after 'most important', use correct phrasal verb 'put in', and prefer 'time and effort' as a fixed phrase.
