Score: 60.0Suggestion: Make your answer more concise, fluent and structured: start with a clear topic sentence (Yes/No + brief reason), then add one or two specific supporting details. Avoid fillers (uh, moreover repeated) and redundant phrases. Use linking words (for example, because, and) appropriately and keep to 2–3 sentences.

Example: When I was young, I mainly grew fruit and vegetable plants such as tomatoes, cucumbers, and apple trees in my grandmother's garden. I learned practical skills there, and later I began trying ornamental plants and herbs on my own.

× Definitely being a dietitian, I have immense interest in planting lots of trees as well as flowers, uh, Moreover, I have a huge interest in planting species too and plants give me uh, an immense energy as well as stimulate my mind moreover boost my emotions so I don't feel alone.
✓ Definitely, as a dietitian, I have an immense interest in planting lots of trees and flowers. Moreover, I am very interested in growing different species, and plants give me immense energy, stimulate my mind, and boost my emotions so I don't feel alone.
The original sentence misuses the -ing form 'being' at the sentence start; use the noun phrase 'as a dietitian' instead. Several verb forms and parallel structures are inconsistent (e.g., 'have immense interest in planting' is acceptable but 'have a huge interest in planting species too' is repetitive). Use consistent verbs and parallel structure ('give me energy, stimulate my mind, and boost my emotions'). Also revise punctuation and connectors for clarity.
× My grandmother was found of agriculture and most of the plant she sown was regarding fruits and vegetables only.
✓ My grandmother was fond of agriculture and most of the plants she sowed were fruits and vegetables.
Errors: 'found' should be 'fond' (vocabulary). 'Plant' should be plural 'plants' (singular/plural). 'She sown' is incorrect: past tense of 'sow' is 'sowed' or past participle 'sown' used with have/has; here simple past requires 'sowed'. Also subject-verb agreement: 'most of the plants ... were'. Correct these to fit past narration.
× Those kind of plants I used to grow in my garden because I was exposed to only this particular plants.
✓ Those kinds of plants I used to grow in my garden because I had been exposed only to those particular plants.
Use plural 'kinds' to match 'those'. 'I was exposed to only this particular plants' has incorrect article/number and tense; 'this' should be 'those' and 'plants' plural; better tense is past perfect 'had been exposed' to show prior exposure. Adjust word order to be natural.
× Yes, being a dietitian I know lot of things regarding growing a plant.
✓ Yes, as a dietitian I know a lot of things about growing plants.
Replace 'being a dietitian' with 'as a dietitian'. Insert article 'a' in 'a lot of things'. Use 'about' rather than 'regarding' for natural phrasing and plural 'plants' when speaking generally.
× Moreover, I have studied a particular subject on different variety of plant and to be grown in different in season.
✓ Moreover, I have studied a subject on different varieties of plants and how to grow them in different seasons.
Use plural 'varieties' and 'plants' for count nouns. Replace 'on' with correct preposition 'on a subject' is acceptable but rephrase to 'a subject on different varieties'. 'To be grown in different in season' is ungrammatical; correct to 'how to grow them in different seasons.' Adjust word order and prepositions.
× In addition to this I am much aware about rule and regulation and yesterday we had a camp regarding kitchen plantation.
✓ In addition, I am well aware of the rules and regulations, and yesterday we attended a workshop about kitchen planting.
Use 'well aware of' rather than 'much aware about'. 'Rule and regulation' need plural and definite/indefinite articles: 'the rules and regulations' or 'rules and regulations'. 'We had a camp' is odd in English; 'we attended a workshop' or 'a camp' could work. 'Kitchen plantation' is unnatural; use 'kitchen planting' or 'kitchen garden'.
× Definitely. Yesterday I was scrolling up Facebook story in which a survey, uh, was revealed showing how Chinese people are sending plant as gift and how much this trend has increased at remarkable rate because mostly, uh, the plastic product are being given in the.
✓ Definitely. Yesterday I was scrolling through Facebook stories when a survey appeared showing how Chinese people are sending plants as gifts and how much this trend has increased at a remarkable rate because mostly plastic products are given as gifts.
Use 'scrolling through Facebook stories' rather than 'scrolling up Facebook story'. 'A survey was revealed' is awkward; 'a survey appeared' or 'a survey showed' is better. 'Are sending plant as gift' needs plural 'plants' and 'gifts'. 'Has increased at remarkable rate' needs article 'a remarkable rate'. 'Plastic product are being given in the.' has subject-verb agreement and missing object; correct to 'plastic products are given as gifts.' Also adjust tense consistency.
