× I have passion from my childhood to growing plants because it help us to give clean air.
✓ I have had a passion for growing plants since my childhood because it helps us get clean air.
The phrase 'passion from my childhood to growing plants' is incorrect. The correct preposition is 'for' when expressing passion about something. Also, 'since my childhood' is the proper way to indicate the starting point of the passion. Additionally, 'help' should be 'helps' to agree with the singular subject 'it'. The phrase 'to give clean air' is better expressed as 'get clean air' or 'provide clean air'.
× it help us to give clean air. And food.
✓ it helps us to get clean air and food.
The verb 'help' should be 'helps' to agree with the singular subject 'it'. Also, 'And food.' is a sentence fragment and should be connected to the previous sentence for clarity.
× When I was young at that time, uh, I, uh, grow plants for vegetables because my, uh, father have.
✓ When I was young, I grew plants for vegetables because my father had.
The verb 'grow' should be in the past tense 'grew' to match the past time frame. Also, 'have' should be 'had' to agree with the past tense context.
× So I also help them in that and I find this activity.
✓ So I also helped him with that and I enjoyed this activity.
The pronoun 'them' is unclear; since the subject is 'my father', 'him' is more appropriate. Also, 'help' should be past tense 'helped' to match the past context. 'I find this activity' is awkward; 'I enjoyed this activity' is clearer and grammatically correct.
× we don't have to use any chemicals for that to growing.
✓ we don't have to use any chemicals for growing them.
The phrase 'for that to growing' is incorrect. The correct preposition is 'for' followed by the gerund 'growing'. Also, 'them' clarifies the object of growing.
× I don't think so Chinese people like to send the plants as a gift because people now usually, uh, buy the expenses gifts, uh, for the special occasions.
✓ I don't think Chinese people like to send plants as gifts because people now usually buy expensive gifts for special occasions.
'I don't think so' is incorrect; 'I don't think' is the correct form. 'The plants' should be 'plants' as a general statement. 'Expenses gifts' is incorrect; the correct adjective is 'expensive'. Also, 'the special occasions' should be 'special occasions' without 'the'.
