Do you keep plants at home?
Thí sinh
No I don't actually. I've tried before but it always died because I didn't have big enough space or sunlight for plants in my home. It's so difficult to find a good place for plants. Also I have no time to look after them, which is why I've lost interest in gardening recently.

× I've tried before but it always died because I didn't have big enough space or sunlight for plants in my home.
✓ I've tried before but they always died because I didn't have big enough space or sunlight for plants in my home.
这里的主语是复数的"plants",谓语动词应该用复数形式"died"对应复数主语,因此应使用"they always died"而不是"it always died"。
× When I was a kid living in a countryside with my grandma, we grew some vegetables together like lettuce, corn, tomatoes and potatoes.
✓ When I was a kid living in the countryside with my grandma, we grew some vegetables together like lettuce, corn, tomatoes and potatoes.
"countryside"前应使用定冠词"the",表示特指某个乡村地区,缺少冠词导致用法错误。
× Sure, I learned some basic knowledge about plant care from my grandma, like sunlight, wandering, and soil type.
✓ Sure, I learned some basic knowledge about plant care from my grandma, like sunlight, watering, and soil type.
原句中的"wandering"是"漫游"的意思,语境中应为"watering"(浇水),属于词汇使用错误,应改正。
× In China it's really popular to give some plants as a gift for new business openings or house warming.
✓ In China it's really popular to give some plants as a gift for new business openings or housewarmings.
"house warming"应写作一个词"housewarming",表示乔迁派对,属于固定搭配,错误使用空格导致表达不准确。
× For example, bamboo and money trees are the top pick because they are believed to mean good luck and prosperity, which wishes somebody success and happiness.
✓ For example, bamboo and money trees are the top pick because they are believed to mean good luck and prosperity, which wish somebody success and happiness.
先行词是复数"bamboo and money trees",关系代词"which"指代复数,谓语动词应使用复数形式"wish",而不是单数"wishes"。
