Ejemplo: Yes, I keep plants at home because they create a pleasant atmosphere and give me a sense of positivity, so looking after them is really enjoyable.

Sugerencia: Your answer is unclear and incomplete. Make sure to finish your sentences and provide specific details. Also, use correct vocabulary; 'abalone' is a sea creature, not a plant. Try to describe the plant and your experience clearly with proper grammar.

Ejemplo: When I was young, I planted a mango tree in my father's backyard. It took about five years to grow big enough to survive the weather and produce fruit.

Sugerencia: Your answer is somewhat repetitive and incomplete. Try to avoid repeating words like 'planting a plant' and finish your thoughts. Use linking words to organize your ideas and provide specific details about soil types or plant care.

Ejemplo: Yes, I know quite a lot about growing plants because my father is a farmer. He taught me about the different types of soil plants need and how to care for them properly.

Sugerencia: Avoid using too many filler phrases like 'frankly' and 'to be honest'. Try to give a more confident and structured answer, even if you are unsure. Use linking words to express your opinion clearly.

Ejemplo: I'm not sure if Chinese people commonly send plants as gifts, but if they do, I think it's a thoughtful gesture. I will try to learn more about this tradition.

× I keep plants at home. Because it is really nice to have them and they give me out of positivity and look after them is really enjoyable.

✓ I keep plants at home because it is really nice to have them, they give me positivity, and looking after them is really enjoyable.

The original sentence is a fragment starting with 'Because' which cannot stand alone. Also, 'give me out of positivity' is incorrect; it should be 'give me positivity'. The phrase 'look after them is really enjoyable' should be 'looking after them is really enjoyable' to function as a noun phrase. Combining these into one sentence improves clarity and grammatical correctness.

× I planted the abalone.

✓ I planted the abalone plant.

'Abalone' is a type of sea snail, not a plant. The student likely meant a specific plant name but used 'abalone' incorrectly. Adding 'plant' clarifies the meaning, but ideally the correct plant name should be used.

× It was in my father home in the backyard and he took me around five years to become a big and be able to survive the weather there.

✓ It was in my father's home backyard, and it took around five years to grow big and be able to survive the weather there.

The sentence has several issues: 'my father home' should be 'my father's home' to show possession; 'he took me around five years' is incorrect, it should be 'it took around five years'; 'to become a big' is incomplete and should be 'to grow big'. The corrected sentence improves clarity and grammatical accuracy.

× So I.

✓ So I did.

The sentence 'So I.' is incomplete and lacks a verb. Adding 'did' completes the sentence and makes it grammatically correct.

× I know a lot about planting a plant.

✓ I know a lot about planting plants.

'Planting a plant' is redundant and awkward. Using the plural 'plants' is more natural when speaking generally about the activity.

× My father is a farmer and he taught me a lot about how to plant and what exactly the plants need in terms of the soil, what type of soils and type.

✓ My father is a farmer, and he taught me a lot about how to plant and what exactly plants need in terms of soil, such as the types of soil.

'In terms of the soil' is better as 'in terms of soil' without 'the'. Also, 'what type of soils and type' is incomplete and unclear; rephrasing to 'such as the types of soil' clarifies the meaning.

× If they do, it is really nice to do so. But I'm sure that I'm gonna make sure to get this knowledge.

✓ If they do, it is really nice to do so. But I'm sure that I will make sure to get this knowledge.

'Gonna' is informal and should be replaced with 'will' in formal speech. Also, 'I'm sure that I'm gonna make sure' is redundant; 'I'm sure that I will make sure' is clearer and grammatically correct.
