I personally prefer gifts that are not expensive. For example, I really appreciate books, especially if they match my interests, because they show that the person understands me well. I also like practical gifts such as notebooks, headphones, or something I can use in my daily life. However, the most meaningful gifts for me are those with emotional value, like a handwritten note or something handmade, because they feel more personal and memorable.

The response is comprehensive and directly addresses the question. The answer includes specific examples and elaborates on the reasons for preferring certain types of gifts. The language used is natural and fluent.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is generally fluent and coherent. The ideas are presented in a logical order, using 'For example' and 'However' to connect thoughts. There are minor hesitations, but they don't significantly impede understanding. To improve, focus on smoother transitions between sentences and avoid unnecessary pauses.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and appropriate for the topic. The use of 'practical gifts' and 'emotional value' is effective. However, there's room to incorporate more varied and precise vocabulary to elevate the response. For example, instead of 'something I can use in my daily life,' consider more specific terms.
