Are there a lot of flowers where you live?
Candidato
Unfortunately no, because currently I'm living here in Qatar. Qatar is a really dry country. It is a country surrounded by deserts and most different flowers here are exported from different countries and often sold in a high price due to its way of shipment.

Do you take photos of flowers in your daily life?
Candidato
I rarely take photos of flowers in my daily life because I don't see them very often. This is mainly due to the reason that I live in a country that has a very dry environment and most of the flowers have to be imported, which makes them quite expensive. So the only time that I get to take photos of flowers is when I receive them as a gift.

Candidato
Yes, actually, it is one of the things that I observed here in Qatar since I am an immigrant and I often see Arabs sending each other's flowers as a gift in occasions such as proposal, marriage, welcoming a baby and birthdays.

The verb 'observed' should be present perfect 'have observed' to indicate experience up to now. 'Each other's flowers' is incorrect; it should be 'each other flowers' or better 'sending flowers to each other'. Also, 'as a gift' should be plural 'as gifts' because multiple occasions are mentioned. The nouns 'proposal' and 'marriage' should be plural to match the list.
