Part 1
考官
Are you good at giving gifts?
考生
I say it depends a lot. Sometimes I can choose quite well, but over times I struggle with it. Especially when I don't know the person very well, it can be a bit of hassle to decide what to buy. I usually spend a lot of our time thinking about it.
考官
When do you usually give gifts to others?
考生
I usually give a hand gift because I'm particularly good at making things by myself by my hand. I remember once I made a small handmade card for a friend and he was so graduate January happy for my gifts.
考官
What do you consider when choosing a gift?
考生
The first thing I consider is the person's preference. I try to think about what they actually like or need. For example, if they are really into music, I might choose something related to that. I also consider whether the gift is practical, because I feel like useful things are more appreciated.
考官
Have you ever given others a handmade gift?
考生
Yes I have, but not very often because a handmade gift by hand is spent a lot of time for me. I remember once I made a small paper craft for for friends. It wasn't very professional but I put off out efforts into it.
考官
Do expensive gifts better express your feelings?
考生
To be honest, I'm a student and I don't have much money so I usually don't buy very expensive brands. I prefer to make handmade gifts because they feel more personal and show that I spend time and effort which better express my feelings.

× I say it depends a lot.
✓ I would say it depends a lot.
原句时态和语气不太自然。使用 I say 在口语中不如 I would say 常用,用法更礼貌也更符合表达不确定性的语气。建议在类似情境使用 I would say 或 I think 来表达看法。
× Sometimes I can choose quite well, but over times I struggle with it.
✓ Sometimes I can choose quite well, but over time I struggle with it.
原句中 over times 用法错误,应为固定短语 over time(随着时间推移)。另外可保持副词位置在句首以强调频率。建议记住常见时间短语的固定搭配,如 over time, at times, sometimes。
× Especially when I don't know the person very well, it can be a bit of hassle to decide what to buy.
✓ Especially when I don't know the person very well, it can be a bit of a hassle to decide what to buy.
短语 a bit of hassle 需要不定冠词 a 来使名词短语完整,应为 a bit of a hassle。建议注意不可数名词和可数名词短语前冠词的使用。
× I usually spend a lot of our time thinking about it.
✓ I usually spend a lot of time thinking about it.
原句混用了主语人称(I)和所有格 our,导致搭配错误,应使用 I 对应的 time 表达。建议主语和代词保持一致性,使用 a lot of time 或 a lot of my time(若强调属于自己)。
× I usually give a hand gift because I'm particularly good at making things by myself by my hand.
✓ I usually give handmade gifts because I'm particularly good at making things myself.
hand gift 不是常用搭配,正确说法为 handmade gift(s) 或 handmade gifts。短语 by myself 即可表达“自己做”,不需要 by my hand。建议学习常见形容词短语(handmade)和反身结构(myself)。
× I remember once I made a small handmade card for a friend and he was so graduate January happy for my gifts.
✓ I remember once I made a small handmade card for a friend and he was so happy about my gift.
原句包含无关词汇(graduate January)且用词不当。应使用 happy about 或 happy with 来表达对礼物的高兴,gift 单数即可(或 gifts 视上下文)。建议删除无关词并用固定搭配 happy about sth。
× Yes I have, but not very often because a handmade gift by hand is spent a lot of time for me.
✓ Yes, I have, but not very often because handmade gifts take a lot of my time.
原句语序和词汇不正确。a handmade gift by hand 冗余,应该用 handmade gifts 或 a handmade gift。动词短语应为 take a lot of my time(占用很多时间),而不是 is spent a lot of time for me。建议学习常见动词搭配如 take time, spend time(spend time doing sth)。
× I remember once I made a small paper craft for for friends.
✓ I remember once I made a small paper craft for a friend.
原句有重复的 for 且 friends 与上下文不一致(如果是特指一位朋友应为 a friend)。注意冠词和单复数一致性。建议写句前检查重复词和冠词使用。
× It wasn't very professional but I put off out efforts into it.
✓ It wasn't very professional but I put a lot of effort into it.
原句 put off out efforts 用法完全错误。正确表达是 put a lot of effort into sth。建议记住固定短语 put effort into 和 put a lot of effort into。
× To be honest, I'm a student and I don't have much money so I usually don't buy very expensive brands.
✓ To be honest, I'm a student and I don't have much money, so I usually don't buy very expensive brands.
句子需要在两并列分句之间加逗号以便更清晰。语法本身无重大错误,但加标点能改善流畅度。建议在复合句中使用适当标点分隔独立分句。
× I prefer to make handmade gifts because they feel more personal and show that I spend time and effort which better express my feelings.
✓ I prefer to make handmade gifts because they feel more personal and show that I spend time and effort, which better express my feelings.
原句中的 which 指代不明确,且缺少逗号分隔非限制性定语从句。将逗号加入并保持 which 修饰整个前面部分更清晰。另外 express 与主语 feelings 一致(which better express my feelings)语义上可接受。建议使用逗号分隔非限制性定语从句以增强可读性。
