Flowers— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your answer is detailed and uses good vocabulary, but it is slightly long and contains a minor grammatical error ('came' should be 'come'). Try to keep your answers concise and check verb tenses for accuracy. Also, use linking words to improve coherence.

Example: Yes, I love flowers because they are beautiful and symbolize different emotions. For instance, roses often represent romantic love, while daisies symbolize innocence. Moreover, flowers come in various shapes, colors, and fragrances, which make them uplifting to see.

Suggestion: Your answer provides good details but has some grammatical errors and awkward phrasing ('Me as well', 'smelling the taste of flower', 'one of my favorite thing'). Try to use complete sentences and correct expressions. Also, use linking words to connect ideas smoothly.

Example: Yes, my mother loves flowers and often changes the flowers in her room every week or two. She prefers roses and lilies because their fragrance makes the room feel fresh and relaxing. I also enjoy entering her room and smelling the flowers, which is one of my favourite things to do.

Suggestion: Your answer is well-structured, specific, and uses good vocabulary. However, 'The Four Seasons' should not be capitalized, and you could improve coherence by adding linking words like 'especially' or 'for example' more smoothly.

Example: Yes, there are many flowers where I live in northwestern China near a mountain range. The flowers are vibrant throughout the four seasons, especially in spring. For example, cherry blossoms and plum blossoms bloom abundantly, and my mother often photographs them. Additionally, my grandfather cultivates lilies and roses in our garden.

Suggestion: Your answer is clear and relevant but slightly repetitive ('during my free time' and 'during my leisure time a lot'). Try to avoid redundancy and use linking words to connect ideas more smoothly.

Example: Yes, I enjoy taking photos of flowers in my neighborhood, where many people grow plants like chrysanthemums, orchids, and honeysuckles. I often carry my camera during my free time because photographing flowers is relaxing and peaceful.

Suggestion: Your answer is informative and well-structured. However, there is a small typo: 'displaced' should be 'displayed'. Also, try to use linking words like 'for example' or 'in addition' to improve coherence.

Example: Yes, people in my country often send flowers for various occasions. For example, roses are exchanged between couples on Valentine's Day, and flowers are also given at birthdays, weddings, and funerals. In addition, white chrysanthemums and lilies are traditionally displayed in wreaths outside funeral venues as a mark of respect.

× Additionally, flowers came in a wide variety of shapes, colors, and fragrances, which make them vibrant and uplifting to see.

✓ Additionally, flowers come in a wide variety of shapes, colors, and fragrances, which make them vibrant and uplifting to see.

The sentence incorrectly uses the past tense 'came' when describing a general truth or characteristic of flowers, which should be in the present tense 'come'. This is because the statement refers to an ongoing fact, not a past event.

× She usually chooses rose and lilies because their fragrance makes the room feel fresh and inviting, which she finds very relaxing.

✓ She usually chooses roses and lilies because their fragrance makes the room feel fresh and inviting, which she finds very relaxing.

The word 'rose' should be plural 'roses' to match 'lilies' and to correctly refer to multiple flowers. Using singular 'rose' alongside plural 'lilies' is inconsistent and incorrect in this context.

× Me as well.

✓ Me too.

The phrase 'Me as well' is informal and not grammatically correct as a standalone response. 'Me too' is the correct and commonly accepted expression to agree with a previous statement.

× Entering her room and smelling the taste of flower is one of my favorite thing to do.

✓ Entering her room and smelling the scent of flowers is one of my favorite things to do.

'Taste of flower' is incorrect because flowers are smelled, not tasted, so 'scent of flowers' is appropriate. Also, 'favorite thing' should be plural 'favorite things' to agree with 'one of my'. Additionally, 'flower' should be plural 'flowers' to indicate generality.

× I live in northwestern China near a mountain range, so the flowers are very vibrant throughout The Four Seasons, especially in spring.

✓ I live in northwestern China near a mountain range, so the flowers are very vibrant throughout the four seasons, especially in spring.

'The Four Seasons' should not be capitalized unless referring to a proper noun. Here, it refers to the general seasons of the year, so it should be lowercase 'the four seasons'.

× For example, whites, chrysanthemums and lilies are traditionally arranged in wreaths and displaced outside of funeral venues as a mark of respect.

✓ For example, whites, chrysanthemums and lilies are traditionally arranged in wreaths and displayed outside of funeral venues as a mark of respect.

The word 'displaced' is incorrect in this context; the correct word is 'displayed', meaning to show or exhibit. 'Displaced' means moved from the usual place, which does not fit the intended meaning.
