7. Describe a gift that you gave someone recently

You should say:

What the gift was
Who you gave it to
Why you chose that gift

I would like to describe a coat I gave to my best friend as a present on her 24th birthday.

The coat is made of cotton only and by a Zara clothes brand. It is a knee-length black coat, which have been in fashion recently. Because she is my best friend, so I exactly know what she likes the most when it comes to clothes. I chose a coat with two deep side pockets so that in winter, she can always put her hands into those pockets to avoid the cold. Besides, she can button the coat from top to bottom.

In fact, I thought it would never be out of fashion and it was really smart and to her liking. It came as no surprise that she was so fond of this coat that she wore it during this winter. It fits her perfectly and makes her feel comfortable and warm, no matter how cold the weather is. I was also extremely happy that my best friend treasured my gift a lot. She even promised that she will keep wearing this coat in the future.
