Part 1

Do you love flowers?

Score: 88.0

Suggestion: 很好,你的回答自然且表达清楚,但可以更直接用一到两句主题句开头,然后用一两句具体细节支撑,避免重复(例如“love the vibrant colors and fragrances”与“brighten my mood”意义接近)。建议在一两个支持句中加入具体例子或场景(什么时候、哪种花)以丰富内容,并使用连词改善衔接。

Example: Yes — I really love flowers. Their bright colors and sweet scents always lift my spirits; for example, seeing cherry blossoms in spring makes me feel peaceful and happy.

Do you know anyone who loves flowers?

Score: 80.0

Suggestion: 回答直接且有个人细节,但句式有些冗长和口语化(“she's obsessed”可保留但后面表达应简洁)。注意时态一致(use 'asks' not 'would ask' for habitual present)和更自然的短语('a lot of flowers'或'big bouquet'而不是 'a banquet of flowers')。可加入一两句说明为什么她喜欢花或你对她习惯的感受。

Example: Yes, my best friend Anna loves flowers. She often asks me to go with her to the flower shop and we usually buy a big bouquet because she enjoys decorating her room.

Are there a lot of flowers where you live?

Score: 85.0

Suggestion: 内容具体且相关,但口语填充词和时态需简化(使用 'I go' 替代 'I would go')。开头可用更正式的回答('Yes, there are many'),然后用一两句具体细节说明地点和作用,注意避免多余的词如 'relax myself'(可说 'relax')。

Example: Yes, there are many flowers near my dorm — a small park behind the building is full of blooms. When I'm tired or low, I often take a walk there to relax and clear my mind.

Do you take photos of flowers in your daily life?

Score: 82.0

Suggestion: 回答涵盖习惯和用途,很好。可改进之处是更自然的表达和减少重复('post on social media' 与 'decorate my blogs' 意义重叠)。建议说明拍摄的频率、喜欢拍的花种或拍照目的,使用连词如 'so' 或 'therefore' 改善流畅性。

Example: Yes, I often photograph flowers during my walks and post the best shots on my social media. I especially like photographing roses and peonies because their colors and textures look great online.

Do people in your country often send flowers to others?

Score: 80.0

Suggestion: 内容完整且包含例子,但有语法和用词小错误(去掉多余词 'in' 和 'via';'Umm'应避免)。建议用更流畅的句子结构和更具体的频率表述(e.g., 'commonly'),并说明文化原因或具体习俗以丰富答案。

Example: Yes, sending flowers is common for special occasions like birthdays, weddings and anniversaries. For instance, couples usually exchange flowers on Valentine’s Day, and children often give flowers to their parents on Mother’s or Father’s Day to express gratitude.

Grammar

Verb + -ing form

× I enjoy seeing them which never fails to brighten my mood.

I enjoy seeing them, which never fails to brighten my mood.

Comma needed before the non-restrictive relative clause; grammatically the -ing usage 'seeing' is correct. Add a comma to separate clauses for clarity and correct punctuation (English (China)).

Incorrect use of pronouns

× Yes, my best friend Anna, she's obsessed with flowers.

Yes, my best friend Anna is obsessed with flowers.

Avoid unnecessary pronoun repetition with a comma splice. Combine into one sentence using a single verb 'is' to fix run-on and pronoun redundancy (English (China)).

Incorrect use of modal verb

× Every time we hang out together, she would ask me to accompany her to go to the flower shop and we would buy a banquet of flowers.

Every time we hang out together, she asks me to accompany her to the flower shop and we buy a bunch of flowers.

Use simple present for habitual actions ('asks', 'buy'). 'Would' is unnecessary and can imply conditional or past habit. Replace 'banquet of flowers' (incorrect collocation) with 'bunch of flowers.' This matches present habitual context (English (China)).

Subject-verb agreement errors

× Yeah, there is a small park behind our dorm building filled with flowers, and when I feel exhausted or down, I would go on a walk there and relax myself.

Yeah, there is a small park behind our dorm building filled with flowers, and when I feel exhausted or down, I go for a walk there and relax.

Use simple present 'go' for habitual action instead of 'would.' Also idiomatic phrase is 'go for a walk' and 'relax' is preferable to reflexive 'relax myself.' This fixes verb usage and awkward reflexive pronoun (English (China)).

Verb + -ing form

× Yes, I enjoy taking photographs of flowers during my walks and I always post flower photos on my social media to decorate my blogs.

Yes, I enjoy taking photographs of flowers during my walks, and I always post flower photos on my social media to decorate my blogs.

Add comma before coordinating conjunction joining two independent clauses for correct punctuation. The -ing form 'taking' is correct. This improves clarity (English (China)).

Incorrect use of prepositions

× For example, couples would send flowers to each other in via Valentine's Day to show affection, and children would send flowers to their parents on Mother's Day or Father's Day to show gratitude.

For example, couples send flowers to each other on Valentine's Day to show affection, and children send flowers to their parents on Mother's Day or Father's Day to show gratitude.

Use preposition 'on' with days like Valentine's Day (not 'in' or 'via'). Also use simple present 'send' for habitual actions instead of 'would.' Remove 'via' which is incorrect here. This corrects preposition and tense (English (China)).
