× We're a lot hard to arrange them beautifully, for example, especially like roses and true tourists because of their lovely colors and fragrances.
✓ We're having a lot of difficulty arranging them beautifully, for example, especially roses and tulips because of their lovely colors and fragrances.
The phrase 'a lot hard' is incorrect; 'a lot' is used with adjectives like 'difficult' or 'hard' but not combined directly. Also, 'true tourists' seems to be a mishearing or typo for 'tulips'. The sentence needed rephrasing for clarity and correct quantifier usage.
× These green areas are filled with a variety of cauliflower and plants which make the area very beautiful and pleasant to place to visit.
✓ These green areas are filled with a variety of flowers and plants which make the area very beautiful and a pleasant place to visit.
'Cauliflower' is a vegetable and does not fit the context; likely intended 'flowers'. Also, 'pleasant to place to visit' is incorrect; it should be 'a pleasant place to visit' to correctly use the adjective and noun.
× Yes, I often take photos of flowers when I come across, umm, particularly beautiful or unique ones.
✓ Yes, I often take photos of flowers when I come across particularly beautiful or unique ones.
The comma after 'come across' is unnecessary and interrupts the flow. 'Come across' is a phrasal verb that should be followed directly by the object without a comma.
× In Japan, people often send flowers on special occasion, such as holidays or celebrations, for example during Christmas or Mother Days.
✓ In Japan, people often send flowers on special occasions, such as holidays or celebrations, for example during Christmas or Mother's Day.
'Special occasion' should be plural 'special occasions' to match 'such as holidays or celebrations'. Also, 'Mother Days' is incorrect; the correct term is 'Mother's Day'.
× Giving flowers is a common way to show appreciation and express feelings, and this tradition helps strengthen relationships and makes the way more memorable.
✓ Giving flowers is a common way to show appreciation and express feelings, and this tradition helps strengthen relationships and makes the day more memorable.
'Makes the way more memorable' is incorrect; the intended meaning is likely 'makes the day more memorable'. 'Way' is a wrong pronoun here.
