Flowers— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more direct and natural: start with a clear topic sentence (Yes/No + brief reason), avoid unnecessary words and be careful with grammar (e.g., 'a symbolic' → 'a symbol', capitalize proper nouns properly). Add one specific supporting detail and use a linking word. Keep to under 5 sentences.

Example: Yes, I do love flowers because they symbolize love and affection. For example, the water lily is our national flower and to me it represents the diversity of our cultures. I especially like how different colours are used in festivals, which makes them meaningful and beautiful.

Suggestion: Be concise and avoid hesitations and repetition. Use a clear topic sentence and follow with one or two specific details using linking words (e.g., 'for example'). Correct phrases like 'among of them' → 'among them' and 'a variety of collection' → 'a wide variety'.

Example: Yes, I do. For example, my cousin loves flowers and keeps a large garden behind his house. He grows a wide variety of roses and lilies and often spends weekends caring for them.

Suggestion: Answer directly, avoid wordiness and filler sounds. Use linking words to organise details (e.g., 'also' or 'in addition'), correct awkward phrases ('a variety of collection' → 'a variety of flowers', '1/2 kilometers after' → 'about half a kilometer away').

Example: Yes, there are many flowers where I live. For instance, there is a flower garden next to my house and several flower shops about half a kilometre away, so I often see colourful blooms nearby.

Suggestion: Make your answer coherent and grammatical. Start with a clear statement, then give a reason and an example. Avoid unclear phrases ('it leaves my mood' is incorrect). Use linking words like 'because' or 'so' correctly and finish the sentence.

Example: Yes, I often take photos of flowers because photographing them relaxes me after a hectic day. For example, I take pictures of blossoms in the park to remember colours and shapes that lift my mood.

Suggestion: Be clearer and more precise: begin with a direct answer, then give two specific occasions with correct phrases ('religious ceremonies', 'national day of remembrance'). Avoid vague endings ('lay flowers toward big'). Use linking words ('for example', 'also').

Example: Yes, people often send flowers in my country. For example, flowers are common gifts during religious ceremonies and on national days of remembrance such as 21 February, when people lay wreaths at monuments.

× Actually, today I'm very fond of flowers because it's a symbolic of love and affection.

✓ Actually, today I'm very fond of flowers because they are a symbol of love and affection.

The error is an article and number issue (use of 'a' with 'symbolic' and singular 'it'). 'Symbolic' is an adjective; the correct noun is 'symbol' and 'flowers' is plural so use 'they are' or refer to 'florals' plural. Use 'a symbol' for singular idea or 'they are a symbol' for plural subject. Suggestion: use 'they are a symbol' or 'flowers are symbolic of'.

× Apart from that, water Lily is our national flower which represents our variety of cultures.

✓ Apart from that, the water lily is our national flower, which represents our variety of cultures.

Common nouns with a specific item (national flower) need the definite article 'the'. 'Water Lily' should be lowercase except proper names; 'water lily' as a species takes 'the' here. Also add a comma before the nonrestrictive clause. Suggestion: use 'the water lily' and lowercase common names.

× Among of them my cousin is uh, one who likes flowers and he, he also has a flower garden beyond his house and he has a variety of collection.

✓ Among them, my cousin is one who likes flowers, and he also has a flower garden beside his house with a wide variety of plants.

'Among of' is incorrect; use 'among' or 'among them'. 'Beyond his house' is awkward—use 'beside' or 'next to'. 'A variety of collection' is incorrect collocation; say 'a variety of plants' or 'a wide collection'. Suggestion: use 'among them', 'beside his house', and 'a variety of plants'.

× Are there a lot of flowers where you live?

✓ Are there a lot of flowers where you live?

This sentence is correct. No change needed. It already uses correct subject-verb agreement for plural 'flowers'.

× Of course there are lots of flowers where I live, especially beside my house there is a flower garden where a variety of collection of flowers are available.

✓ Of course, there are lots of flowers where I live. Especially beside my house there is a flower garden where a wide variety of flowers is available.

Use a comma after 'Of course'. 'A variety of collection of flowers' is redundant and incorrect; use 'a wide variety of flowers'. Note that 'a variety of' + plural noun typically takes a plural verb, but when emphasizing 'a variety' as a single entity, 'is available' can be used; better: 'a wide variety of flowers are available' is also acceptable. Suggestion: simplify to 'a flower garden with a wide variety of flowers'.

× Apart from that, uh, 1/2 kilometers after there are several flower shops.

✓ Apart from that, about 1/2 kilometer after (or half a kilometer further) there are several flower shops.

'1/2 kilometers after' is not idiomatic. Use 'about half a kilometer further' or 'about 1/2 kilometer away'. Also plural/singular consistency: 'half a kilometer' or '0.5 kilometers' with 'are' for shops. Suggestion: use 'about half a kilometer further there are several flower shops' or 'about 500 meters away'.

× Of course, I love photographs of flowers because it leaves my mood and feel fills me better after a hectic schedule.

✓ Of course, I love photographing flowers because it lifts my mood and makes me feel better after a hectic schedule.

Incorrect collocation and pronoun reference: 'it leaves my mood and feel fills me' is ungrammatical. Use 'photographing flowers' (verb + -ing) or 'photographs of flowers'. 'Lifts my mood' and 'makes me feel better' are correct idioms. Suggestion: use 'photographing' or 'taking photographs of' and 'lifts my mood' and 'makes me feel better'.

× So I love flowers to capture in my mind and.

✓ So I love to capture flowers in my mind.

Sentence fragment and incorrect structure: 'love flowers to capture in my mind and' is incomplete. Rearrange to 'I love to capture flowers in my mind' or 'I love capturing flowers in my mind'. Suggestion: complete the sentence and choose correct verb form 'to capture' or 'capturing'.

× Of course, in my country, people frequently send flowers to others, especially on the religious programs.

✓ Of course, in my country, people frequently send flowers to others, especially during religious programs.

Use 'during' instead of 'on' for events or periods. Also 'religious programs' is better than 'the religious programs' unless referring to specific ones. Suggestion: use 'during religious ceremonies or festivals'.

× Apart from that national remembrance when people love to send flowers, for instance, 21 February, people lay flowers toward big.

✓ Apart from that, on national remembrance days when people like to send flowers, for instance 21 February, people lay flowers at monuments.

Multiple issues: missing article 'on' before 'national remembrance days', 'love to' is unnatural—use 'like to' or 'tend to', and 'lay flowers toward big' is incorrect preposition and incomplete noun. Use 'lay flowers at monuments' or 'on memorials'. Suggestion: say 'on national remembrance days... people lay flowers at monuments or memorials.'
