Plants— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your answer is generally clear but can be improved by correcting grammar (e.g., 'my sister actually loves gardening'), avoiding filler words like 'uh' and 'umm', and making the sentence more concise and natural. Also, use linking words to connect ideas smoothly.

Example: Yes, my sister loves gardening, and we have a small terrace where we keep various plants, including onion, almond, and aloe vera.

Suggestion: Try to avoid repetition and incorrect word usage (e.g., 'a a', 'pores' instead of 'pots'). Use linking words to connect ideas and provide a clearer, more natural response.

Example: When I was young, I lived in a small flat without much space for plants, but we had a few small pots with aloe vera and money plants.

Suggestion: Avoid filler words like 'uh' and incomplete sentences. Use proper grammar and linking words to make your answer coherent and complete. Also, clarify your ideas fully.

Example: I don't know much about growing plants because I only had a few small pots at home. However, I have watched documentaries about plant care, and I find it fascinating. In the future, if I have my own home, I would like to grow more plants.

Suggestion: Improve grammar and sentence structure, avoid filler words, and use linking words to make your answer more coherent. Also, be more specific and clear about cultural reasons.

Example: Yes, Chinese people often give plants as thoughtful gifts, a tradition passed down from their ancestors. This symbolizes purity and love, and it is believed to enhance the beauty of the recipient's home.

× Yes, my sister actually love to do gardening and we have a terrace in our home, so there is like a little place where we keep all the plants, which includes, uh, onion and almond plant and sometimes it's umm, aloe Vera.

✓ Yes, my sister actually loves to do gardening and we have a terrace in our home, so there is like a little place where we keep all the plants, which include, uh, onion and almond plants and sometimes it's umm, aloe Vera.

The verb 'love' should be 'loves' to agree with the singular subject 'my sister' (third person singular). Also, 'includes' should be 'include' because it refers to 'plants' which is plural. Additionally, 'plant' should be plural 'plants' when referring to multiple types like onion and almond.

× I used to live in a small flat so we never really had a a space to grow plants, but we were having a small pores of plants in which there was aloe Vera and money plant in it.

✓ I used to live in a small flat so we never really had a space to grow plants, but we had a small pot of plants in which there was aloe Vera and a money plant.

The phrase 'were having' is incorrect for past habitual action; 'had' is appropriate. Also, 'pores' is a wrong word here; it should be 'pot' to refer to a container for plants. 'Money plant' should be preceded by 'a' as it is singular.

× I don't know very much about growing up plant uh because I never got a chance except having some small pods of different plant in our home.

✓ I don't know very much about growing plants because I never got a chance except having some small pots of different plants in our home.

The phrase 'growing up plant' is incorrect; it should be 'growing plants'. Also, 'pods' is incorrect; the correct word is 'pots' for containers. 'Plant' should be plural 'plants' when referring to multiple types.

× But in future definitely uh if I will have my own home.

✓ But in the future, definitely, if I have my own home.

In conditional sentences referring to the future, 'if' clause should use present tense ('if I have'), not 'will have'. Also, 'in future' should be 'in the future' for correct article usage.

× Yes, Chinese people actually give plans as a present, which is being called as a thoughtful present which is coming from their ancestor as this is a form of uh, purity and love.

✓ Yes, Chinese people actually give plants as a present, which is called a thoughtful present that comes from their ancestors as this is a form of purity and love.

'Plans' is incorrect; it should be 'plants'. 'Being called as' is incorrect; correct form is 'called'. 'Ancestor' should be plural 'ancestors' to match 'their'. Also, 'which is coming' should be 'that comes' for clarity and correctness.

× Also this will enhance the any other, any person's home.

✓ Also, this will enhance any other person's home.

The phrase 'the any other' is incorrect; 'any other' alone is correct without 'the'. The article 'the' is unnecessary here.
