Plants— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Make the answer more natural and grammatically correct, use a clear topic sentence, limit to 3–4 concise sentences, and add a brief reason or feeling. Correct verb forms and article use (e.g., "grows" not "grow"). Use linking words (e.g., "so", "because").

예시: Yes — my family keeps several plants at home. My mother grows them on the rooftop, including aloe vera, lemon trees and strawberry plants, because she enjoys gardening. I like seeing the greenery because it makes our home feel fresh.

제안: Answer directly with a clear topic sentence and correct grammar. Keep it concise and add a specific reason or short example. Fix plural/singular and tense (e.g., "I grew a money plant"). Use linking words such as "because" or "so".

예시: When I was young, I grew a money plant at home. I liked it because it was easy to care for and made the room look nicer. I would water it once a week and it always looked healthy.

제안: Be concise and correct unclear phrases. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give specific, accurate examples of what you know. Avoid repetition and unclear words ("bats decided" is incorrect). Use linking words like "however" or "for example."

예시: I don't know a lot about gardening, but I understand some basics. For example, I know some plants need full sun while others prefer shade, and that watering frequency varies by species. My mother, however, knows most of the details and teaches me when needed.

제안: Answer directly and avoid hedging phrases like "I think" when asked for general habits; you can say "Some people" if unsure. Use clearer reasons and smoother linking words (e.g., "because", "also"). Keep it to 2–3 sentences.

예시: Some Chinese people do give plants as gifts, especially for housewarmings or to wish good luck. Plants are practical to carry and symbolise growth and good fortune, which makes them appropriate presents.

× She often grow plants at the rooftop of my house.

✓ She often grows plants on the rooftop of my house.

The subject 'She' requires the verb in third person singular form 'grows' rather than 'grow'. Also, the correct preposition is 'on' for rooftop location. Suggestion: use 'grows' with he/she/it and pair locations with 'on'.

× She grows plants like aloe Vera, lemon, strawberry at the rooftop.

✓ She grows plants like aloe vera, lemon, and strawberry on the rooftop.

Use 'on' for rooftop. Also include 'and' before the last item in a list and lowercase 'vera' in 'aloe vera'. Suggestion: use 'on the rooftop' and add conjunctions for clear lists.

× What plant did you grow when you were young?

✓ Which plants did you grow when you were young?

The question 'What plant' can be correct but the student's answer mentions multiple plants; match plural form 'plants' with 'did you grow' if asking about multiple. Suggestion: use 'Which plants' when expecting more than one item.

× When I was young I grew plant like aloe Vera money plant.

✓ When I was young I grew plants like aloe vera and money plant.

Use plural 'plants' if listing more than one and add conjunction 'and' between items. Also 'aloe vera' should be lowercased for 'vera'. Suggestion: separate items with 'and' and match plural.

× It is useful as well as it can enhance house beauty.

✓ It is useful and can enhance the beauty of the house.

The phrase needs 'the' before 'house' to specify which house. Also 'as well as' is awkward here; 'and' or 'and can' is clearer. Suggestion: use articles with nouns ('the house') and prefer 'and' for simple addition.

× That's why I grow that plants.

✓ That's why I grew those plants.

The context is past tense ('When I was young'), so use past 'grew' not 'grow'. Also 'that plants' is incorrect: 'those plants' for plural demonstrative. Suggestion: match tense and use correct demonstrative for plural.

× Do you know anything about growing a plant?

✓ Do you know anything about growing plants?

The plural 'plants' fits the general question better than the singular 'a plant'. Suggestion: use plural when asking generally about growing plants.

× I know a little bit about like which type of bats decided it's good for plant, which plant needs shade, or which plant needs shade.

✓ I know a little bit about which types of soil are good for plants, which plants need shade, or which plants need sun.

The original sentence has several problems: 'bats' is likely a typo for 'beds' or 'soil' but 'soil' fits context; 'decided it's good for plant' is ungrammatical. Also repetitive 'which plant needs shade' was repeated. Use plural agreement ('types of soil', 'plants') and clearer verbs. Suggestion: choose appropriate nouns (soil) and parallel structure for list items.

× But my mom is fond of planting, that's why she knows a lot about plants.

✓ But my mom is fond of planting; that's why she knows a lot about plants.

The original sentence is mostly correct grammatically except punctuation: connecting two independent clauses with a semicolon or separate sentences is better than a comma splice. The verb 'knows' is correct for third person singular. Suggestion: fix punctuation to avoid comma splice.

× I do not know much about Chinese people but being honest I think they might give gift as a plant.

✓ I do not know much about Chinese people, but to be honest I think they might give plants as gifts.

'Being honest' is awkward; use 'to be honest'. 'Might' is acceptable modal but the noun phrases need pluralization: 'plants' and 'gifts'. Also add a comma before the conjunction. Suggestion: use 'to be honest' and pluralize countable nouns in general statements.

× It's because plants are easy to carry as well as it shows gratitude to people.

✓ It's because plants are easy to carry and they show gratitude to people.

'As well as' connects nouns or phrases but here 'and' with a subject 'they' is clearer. 'It shows' incorrectly refers to 'plants' (plural), so use 'they show'. Suggestion: ensure verbs agree with their subjects and choose conjunctions that fit sentence structure.
