× The side of flowers because flowers often makes me feel better, especially when I was in Japan.
✓ I like flowers because they often make me feel better, especially when I was in Japan.
'The side of flowers' is not a correct phrase; use 'I like flowers'. 'Flowers' is plural so the verb must be 'make' not 'makes' (subject-verb agreement). Use 'they' to refer to flowers. Japanese: 'The side of flowers'は不自然な表現で、ここでは'I like flowers'が適切です。また'flowers'は複数形なので動詞は'make'になります。
× My girlfriend, uh, gave me flowers on the on my birthday.
✓ My girlfriend gave me flowers on my birthday.
Remove the repeated 'on the' and unnecessary filler 'uh'. Use the preposition 'on' with 'my birthday'. Japanese: 'on the on my birthday'は重複しているので' on my birthday'とします。
× I was so glad and I'm grateful of my girlfriend.
✓ I was so glad and I'm grateful to my girlfriend.
Use 'grateful to' or 'grateful for' instead of 'grateful of'. 'Grateful to my girlfriend' indicates the person you're thankful to. Japanese: 'grateful of'は誤用で、ここでは'grateful to my girlfriend'が自然です。
× Yes, I know one person, this is my that is my girlfriend.
✓ Yes, I know one person — she is my girlfriend.
Sentence is confused and redundant. Use a clear clause 'she is my girlfriend' or 'she is the one'. Japanese: 文が冗長で混乱しているため、'she is my girlfriend'のように簡潔に表現します。
× My girlfriend often send me that she want to get many flowers and plant very colorful and pretty flowers on her in her garden.
✓ My girlfriend often tells me that she wants to get many flowers and plant very colorful, pretty flowers in her garden.
Verb agreement: third person singular requires 'tells' and 'wants' not 'send'/'want'. Use 'tells me that' for reporting and 'in her garden' for location. Also fix word order and remove extra 'on her'. Japanese: 三人称単数には動詞に's'が必要です('tells','wants')。'in her garden'が適切です。
× I don't think so, umm, I sometimes see uh, some pretty flowers near my house, umm, while I'm going to the university.
✓ I don't think so. I sometimes see some pretty flowers near my house while I'm going to the university.
Stylistic: split into two sentences and remove fillers. 'Some pretty flowers' is fine. Ensure punctuation for clarity. Japanese: 話し言葉のフィラーを取り除き、文を分けて明確にします。
× However, I think umm, there are not too much flowers near my house.
✓ However, I think there are not too many flowers near my house.
With countable plural nouns use 'many' not 'much'. 'Too many flowers' is correct. Japanese: 可算名詞には'many'を使い、'too much flowers'は誤りです。
× If possible, I'd like to see more flowers.
✓ If possible, I'd like to see more flowers.
This sentence is grammatically correct; no change needed. Japanese: 文法的に問題ありません。
× MMM I don't often take photos of flowers in daily life.
✓ I don't often take photos of flowers in daily life.
Remove filler 'MMM'. The present simple 'don't often take' is correct. Japanese: フィラーを除けば現在形の表現は適切です。
× In my memory I have umm taken two or three photos of flowers in my life.
✓ I remember taking two or three photos of flowers in my life.
Use 'I remember taking' rather than 'In my memory I have taken' for natural English. Present perfect 'have taken' with 'in my life' is redundant; also remove filler. Japanese: 'In my memory I have taken'は不自然なので'I remember taking'が自然です。
× I feel sometimes feel flower is so pretty.
✓ Sometimes I feel flowers are so pretty.
Correct word order and plural 'flowers' with verb 'are'. Remove duplicate 'feel'. Japanese: 語順を直し、'flower'を複数形にして'are'を使います。'feel'の重複を削除します。
× No, I don't think so. In my country people often hesitate to buy UH and send flowers to them to summer because they are so shy compared with another country's.
✓ No, I don't think so. In my country people often hesitate to buy and send flowers in summer because they are shy compared with people from other countries.
Use 'in summer' for the season, remove filler 'UH'. 'Send flowers to them' is unclear — 'buy and send flowers' is sufficient. 'Compared with another country's' is incorrect; use 'people from other countries'. Japanese: 季節には'in summer'、'other countries'を指す場合は'people from other countries'などと表現します。
× Our culture is not actually flower culture.
✓ Our culture does not really celebrate flowers.
'Not actually flower culture' is awkward. Use 'does not really celebrate flowers' or 'we don't have a flower-giving culture'. Japanese: 直訳的な表現は不自然なので、'does not really celebrate flowers'など自然な表現に直します。
