Flowers— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is generally good but could be improved by correcting tense consistency and avoiding redundancy. For example, 'I always found them gorgeous' should be 'I have always found them gorgeous'. Also, avoid repeating similar ideas like 'unique shapes and vibrant colors' and 'scents' without linking them clearly. Try to use linking words to make your answer more coherent and natural.

例: Yes, I absolutely adore flowers because of their unique shapes and vibrant colours. Moreover, their pleasant scents make them excellent decorations for any room, as they can instantly boost your mood whenever you see them.

提案: Your answer is clear and relevant but could be improved by linking your ideas more smoothly and avoiding informal phrases like 'she's definitely crazy about flowers'. Also, try to add a concluding sentence to round off your answer.

例: Yes, my friend Andrea is very passionate about flowers. She usually visits the market every Tuesday and Saturday to buy fresh flowers. Therefore, whenever you visit her, you will find a new arrangement of flowers in the corner of her room, which shows her love for them.

提案: Your answer contains a small hesitation ('Live.') and some grammatical errors such as 'thousands of acres of tulips fields' which should be 'thousands of acres of tulip fields'. Also, try to connect your ideas more naturally and avoid repeating 'definitely' and 'amazing and beautiful' which are similar in meaning.

例: Yes, I live in both the Netherlands and China. In the Netherlands, there is an abundance of flowers, especially in spring when thousands of acres of tulip fields bloom, creating a truly stunning and colourful landscape.

提案: Your answer is relevant but could be improved by using more varied vocabulary and linking your ideas more smoothly. Also, avoid repeating 'photo' and 'photos' closely. Try to add a concluding sentence to make your answer more complete.

例: Yes, I often photograph flowers because their vibrant colours and elegant shapes make for excellent pictures. For example, after arranging fresh flowers I buy, I take a photo to share with my friends, who usually appreciate my efforts.

提案: Your answer is generally good but contains a tense inconsistency ('sent' should be 'send'). Also, try to use linking words to connect your ideas and avoid vague phrases like 'some important events'. Be more specific if possible.

例: Yes, people in my country often send flowers on special occasions. For instance, on Valentine's Day, couples exchange roses as a romantic gesture. Additionally, family members and friends send flowers to celebrate important events such as birthdays and anniversaries.

× I always found them gorgeous with their unique shapes and vibrant colors.

✓ I have always found them gorgeous with their unique shapes and vibrant colors.

The sentence uses 'found' which is simple past tense, but the context suggests a continuing or habitual feeling, so present perfect 'have found' is more appropriate to express an ongoing appreciation.

× I also enjoy the scents from flowers which make them good decorations for room because every time you see them, it just boosts up your mood.

✓ I also enjoy the scents of flowers which make them good decorations for a room because every time you see them, it just boosts your mood.

The preposition 'from' is incorrect here; 'scents of flowers' is the correct collocation. Also, 'for room' needs the article 'a' to be grammatically correct. Additionally, 'boosts up' is incorrect; 'boosts' alone is sufficient.

× They often appreciate.

✓ They often appreciate them.

The verb 'appreciate' requires an object to complete its meaning. The sentence lacks an object, so adding 'them' clarifies what is appreciated.

× Yes, people in my country sent flowers on special occasions.

✓ Yes, people in my country send flowers on special occasions.

The sentence refers to a habitual action, so the simple present tense 'send' is appropriate rather than the past tense 'sent'.
