プレゼントの写真描写をしてみよう

Describe a picture of a present
写真を見て内容の説明をしてください
日本ではプレゼントを渡す機会がとても多くあります。クリスマスや誕生日等のイベントでプレゼントをあげたりもらったりするのはもちろん、普段でもお世話になっている人に贈り物をする方もいるでしょう。贈り物はモノとモノを送りあうだけでなく、心の交流にもなっています。プレゼントを受け取ったほうは、贈り物をくれた人が自分を気にかけていることに気づいて感謝をするきっかけにもなりますし、プレゼントの送り手も自分の送ったプレゼントで喜んでいる笑顔をみると明るい気持ちになります。写真を描写するときも、実際に贈り物をしたとき、あるいはもらった時の楽しい気持ちを思い浮かべてもよいでしょう。

There are two paper boxes which piled up and string.

自然な表現

There are two paper boxes that are piled up and tied with a string.

1. It is common to use "that" in defining and "which" in non-defining clauses.
2. This clause lacks a verb.
3. The word "string" does not really mean anything in this context, so you should add this part.
What material are the paper boxes made of? How can the arrangement of objects in a picture convey a message or emotion?

I guess, they are made from cardboard boxes. Stick a sentimental note on the outside.

I see. What other special occasions do you practice gift-giving? If you would be given a gift, what would you wish to receive and why?

If I get a present from the heart , I must be happy even if it's something I don't want. I give a gift, for example, to those who helped me, my friends and surely my family.
