Plants— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: 先直接回答是否在家养植物，再说明种植的种类和原因。注意时态：描述目前的习惯用一般现在时，如“grow”，而不是“grew”；“most of trees”应改为“mostly vegetables and a few trees”。“cake at home”与语境不符，如果想表达在家做饭，可说“cook at home”；“comfortable hobby”也不自然，可换成“relaxing hobby”。避免重复表达，并用“because”或“also”连接补充信息。

Example: Yes, my dad and I grow plants in our yard and on the balcony. We mainly grow vegetables because we enjoy cooking with fresh produce. Gardening is also a relaxing hobby that we do together at weekends.

Suggestion: 回答中有具体植物、家人的帮助和个人感受，内容较充分。注意主谓一致：“the first plants ... were”或“the first plant ... was”；过去经历统一使用过去时，“we grew”而不是“we're grew”。“plant”在这里可改为“grow”或“look after”，“eat from our meals”不自然，可说“use in our meals”。

Example: The first plants I grew were lettuce and garlic when I lived at my grandma’s house. She taught me how to grow and look after them because we used them in our meals. I loved harvesting fresh lettuce, and that experience made me more interested in gardening.

Suggestion: 先简洁说明自己了解多少，再给出一个清楚、准确的种植经验。此回答有多处重复和犹豫表达，如“different kinds of different amounts”“also for example like”“a lot of like”，建议删去。“each plant”后用“needs”；“in white”应改为具体含义，例如“in the right amount”。避免说向日葵需要24小时光照，可改为“plenty of sunlight”。

Example: I know a little about growing plants, although I’m not an expert. In my experience, different plants need different amounts of water and sunlight. For example, sunflowers grow best in a sunny spot, but they still need to be watered regularly.

Suggestion: 观点明确，也举出了店铺开业时送花的例子。建议把回答分成“日常送礼”和“特殊场合”两部分，并避免重复否定：“they don't they will not”。“plants”是复数，后文应用“them”；“poppless”可能想表达“potted plants”，“floor arrangements”应为“flower arrangements”。可用“However”自然引出例外，并说明送礼的场合或寓意。

Example: Plants are not very common as everyday gifts in China, partly because some people worry they may be difficult to look after. However, people often send potted plants or flower arrangements to congratulate someone on opening a shop. They can make the new business look welcoming and festive.

× Yes, my dad and I grew many plants in our yard and on the balcony most of trees and vegetable plants because we like to cake at home and prefer using fresh home green produce.

✓ Yes, my dad and I grow many plants in our yard and on the balcony, mostly trees and vegetable plants, because we like to cake at home and prefer using fresh home green produce.

问题问的是现在是否在家养植物，因此描述目前的习惯应使用一般现在时。将“grew”改为“grow”。

✓ Yes, my dad and I grew many plants in our yard and on the balcony, mostly trees and vegetable plants, because we like to cake at home and prefer using fresh home green produce.

“most of trees”中的数量表达不正确。此处想表达种的植物主要是树和蔬菜植物，可用“mostly trees and vegetable plants”。

× Also this is a really comfortable hobby we will do on weekends.

✓ Also, this is a really comfortable hobby we do on weekends.

句子描述的是周末经常进行的习惯，而不是将来某一次的安排，因此用一般现在时“do”，不需要用“will do”。

× I still remember the first plant I grew were lettuce and garlic while I was living at my grandma's house.

✓ I still remember the first plants I grew were lettuce and garlic while I was living at my grandma's house.

后面列出了生菜和大蒜两种植物，因此这里应使用复数“plants”，与“were”及后面的并列内容相对应。

× She taught me how to plant and take care of them because we're grew them to eat from our meals.

✓ She taught me how to plant and take care of them because we grew them to eat from our meals.

“we're”是“we are”的缩写，不能直接与过去式“grew”连用。这里描述过去种植的经历，应直接使用一般过去时“we grew”。

× She taught me how to plant and take care of them because we're grew them to eat from our meals.

✓ She taught me how to plant and take care of them because we grew them to eat with our meals.

表达把食物和饭一起吃时，通常用“with our meals”，而不是“from our meals”。

主语“each plant”是第三人称单数，所以一般现在时的谓语动词应使用“needs”，不能用“need”。

“sunflower”是可数名词单数，前面需要加冠词。这里泛指一株向日葵，因此用“a sunflower”。

× Actually it is not really common to see Chinese people send plants as everyday gifts because people think it is really hard to take care of it so they don't they will not like it.

✓ Actually, it is not really common to see Chinese people send plants as everyday gifts because people think it is really hard to take care of them, so they don't like them.

前文的“plants”是复数，后面用代词指代这些植物时应使用“them”，而不是单数“it”。

× Actually it is not really common to see Chinese people send plants as everyday gifts because people think it is really hard to take care of it so they don't they will not like it.

✓ Actually, it is not really common to see Chinese people send plants as everyday gifts because people think it is really hard to take care of it, so they don't like it.

“they don't they will not like it”把两个不同的否定结构重复拼接在一起，造成句子结构不完整。保留一个表达即可，例如“they don't like it”。

× But you do see a lot of people send poppless or floor arrangements on shop openings to congratulate the owners.

✓ But you do see a lot of people send poppless or floor arrangements at shop openings to congratulate the owners.

表示在开店活动期间发生的事情，通常用“at shop openings”，而不是“on shop openings”。
