× She's really enjoyed arranging flowers and also, uh, she said that the, uh, fragrance of flowers make her feel relaxed and happy after a busy day.
✓ She really enjoys arranging flowers and also, uh, she said that the, uh, fragrance of flowers makes her feel relaxed and happy after a busy day.
The phrase 'She's really enjoyed' is incorrect here because the student is describing a habitual action, so the present simple 'She really enjoys' is appropriate (Grammar Problem Type 6). Also, 'fragrance of flowers make' should be 'fragrance of flowers makes' to agree with the singular subject 'fragrance' (Grammar Problem Type 27).
× Unfortunately not, because I live in a city and in my neighborhood there's no place for people to grow flowers, so we do not have many flowers in my residential area, but we have a lot of trees and grass.
✓ Unfortunately not, because I live in a city and in my neighborhood there is no place for people to grow flowers, so we do not have many flowers in my residential area, but we have a lot of trees and grass.
The contraction 'there's' is singular and should be used with singular nouns. Since 'no place' is singular, 'there's' is acceptable but in formal speech, 'there is' is clearer. This is a minor style issue but acceptable. No correction needed here for grammar problem type 3.
× I think it's quite time consuming to arrange a flower and also it is waste of money to buy a lot of flowers.
✓ I think it's quite time-consuming to arrange flowers and also it is a waste of money to buy a lot of flowers.
'Arrange a flower' is incorrect because arranging usually involves multiple flowers, so the plural 'flowers' is appropriate (Grammar Problem Type 1). Also, 'it is waste of money' needs the article 'a' before 'waste' to be grammatically correct (Grammar Problem Type 22).
× Yes, although I do not enjoy creating a book with and I think flower is a waste of money but taking a photo of flowers makes me feel really healing and when I scroll it on my ambulance it's make me feel really relaxed and happy because of the scenery beauty scenery.
✓ Yes, although I do not enjoy creating a book with them and I think flowers are a waste of money, taking photos of flowers makes me feel really healed and when I scroll through them on my album, it makes me feel really relaxed and happy because of the beautiful scenery.
The sentence has multiple issues: 'creating a book with' is incomplete and unclear; 'flower is a waste' should be plural 'flowers are a waste' (Grammar Problem Type 1); 'makes me feel really healing' should be 'makes me feel really healed' (Grammar Problem Type 9); 'scroll it on my ambulance' is incorrect, should be 'scroll through them on my album' (Grammar Problem Type 11 and 12); 'scenery beauty scenery' is redundant and incorrect, corrected to 'beautiful scenery' (Grammar Problem Type 13 and 18).
× Definitely, in my country, flowers now today become a common presence when people don't know what to give to the others.
✓ Definitely, in my country, flowers nowadays have become a common gift when people don't know what to give to others.
'Now today' is redundant; 'nowadays' is the correct adverb (Grammar Problem Type 11). 'Become a common presence' is awkward; 'have become a common gift' is more natural. 'The others' should be 'others' without 'the' (Grammar Problem Type 11 and 12).
× And you can give flowers in a lot of special occasions like the birthday or or Mother Days, maybe in Valentine's Day.
✓ And you can give flowers on a lot of special occasions like birthdays, Mother's Day, or maybe Valentine's Day.
The correct preposition for occasions is 'on' not 'in' (Grammar Problem Type 11). 'The birthday' should be plural 'birthdays' or just 'birthday' without 'the' (Grammar Problem Type 1 and 22). 'Mother Days' should be 'Mother's Day' (Grammar Problem Type 13). 'Valentine's Day' should not have 'in' but 'on' (Grammar Problem Type 11).
