Oh You Jeong/ a special gift/ mon34

<Special Gift For The Special One>

 

     Birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, and there are also many special days when you need to pick a special gift for other people. Especially, if that gift is for the special person, you have to be extra considerate for it. Therefore, you need to follow these steps in order to pick the best gift for the person. First, think about what the gift is for. For example, you shouldn't give your friend a laptop when he or she is getting married because what they really need is more like a set of cups or a desk to put in their new house. Think about what they really need. Second, consider their preference. If you're not close to the person, ask his or her close friends or family. Think about the preferred color or size. Then, think about the utility. Don't buy the present just because it looks pretty. This is really important because I received many gifts on my birthday and the most useful gift was a pen. It's because I was in high school. A lot of people gave me various gifts but they were just pretty and that was it. Some gave me really pretty clothes but they were useless because I had to wear school uniform all the time. So, think carefully, 'will the person make good use of my gift?'. Finally, consider the price of the gift. If the present is too expensive, it could be a huge burden for you and the receiver. It's because when the gift is too expensive, the receiver might think that he or she should spend the similar price to you the next time. Therefore, buy a gift which is not too expensive or too cheap. If you follow these steps, you and the reciever will all be happy with the gift!

  1. Hi! I think your writing is overall excellent. Your expression of how to choose a special gift was simple, clear, yet effective. You have very clear steps: think about what the gift is for, utility and the price. Also, your writing contains your own experience that strengthen the writing even more! Except for some minor grammartical errors, I really like your writing.

  2. Hello!
    I enjoyed reading your piece of writing. I am clear with your main points and your explanation. It is well organized. Also, it is very clear in the order of the steps and the importance of them.
    However, I think your points are a little too generalized. You've shown examples, but I don't know, maybe be a little more specific.
    Thank you.
