Flowers— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition and fillers (uh), and correct minor grammar (e.g., "red rose" → "the red rose" or "red roses"). Add one specific reason why you like red roses to enrich content and use a linking word to connect ideas.

Ejemplo: I love flowers, especially red roses, because they look elegant and symbolize love. In my country, people often give flowers to loved ones on special occasions such as Eid, which is why roses are very popular.

Sugerencia: Give a direct topic sentence, remove fillers, and clarify phrases (e.g., "on need" is unclear). Add a brief specific example of when you gave flowers and why to make the answer more natural and informative.

Ejemplo: Yes, my mother and sister love flowers. I often give them roses on their birthdays or on special occasions because they especially like red roses; once I even ordered a black rose as a unique gift.

Sugerencia: Start with a clear short answer, avoid grammatical mistakes ("too many flowers" not "too much flowers"), remove hesitations, and use linking words to explain reason and contrast. Provide a specific example of what you planted to add detail.

Ejemplo: No, there aren't many flowers where I live because the area is mostly rocky, so wild flowers don't grow well. However, I have planted marigolds and petunias in my home garden to brighten the place.

Sugerencia: Be concise and natural: give a direct response, avoid "uh" and awkward phrasing ("newly grow on in spring season"). Use linking words to contrast daily routine with occasional behavior and give a specific example of when you take photos.

Ejemplo: Not usually. I don't photograph flowers in my daily routine, but I do take pictures in spring when new blooms appear, for example when cherry blossoms cover the park.

Sugerencia: Give a clear, confident direct answer and avoid filler words. Use correct grammar and clearer statistics phrasing ("about 30% of the population send flowers"). Explain briefly why people send flowers with a linking word and one concrete example of occasions.

Ejemplo: I don't think it's very common; I would estimate about 30% of people send flowers to relatives or loved ones. They usually do this to show affection, for instance when celebrating Eid or birthdays.

× 'Yes, I love flowers and my favorite flower is red rose.'

✓ 'Yes, I love flowers and my favorite flower is the red rose.'

'red rose' needs a definite article when referring to a specific favorite single flower; use 'the red rose' or better 'the red rose' or 'red roses' for general preference. Use 'a red rose' if speaking of any red rose rather than the specific favorite.'

× 'I also like other type of flowers but red rose is my most favorite.'

✓ 'I also like other types of flowers, but the red rose is my favorite.'

'other type of flowers' is incorrect because 'type' needs plural 'types' when paired with 'other'; 'most favorite' is redundant — 'favorite' already implies the superlative. Add 'the' before 'red rose' to specify the particular variety you prefer.'

× 'Other than that, uh, flowers are very popular in my country and people usually give flowers to their, uh, loved ones on different occasions like Eid at Israel.'

✓ 'Other than that, flowers are very popular in my country and people usually give flowers to their loved ones on different occasions, like Eid in Israel.'

'at Israel' is incorrect preposition; use 'in Israel' to indicate location. Remove filler words and the extra comma before 'loved ones.' Use 'on different occasions, like Eid' for clarity.'

× 'Yeah, my mother and sister both love flowers and, uh, sometimes I give flowers to both of them on different occasions, like on need or on their birthday.'

✓ 'Yes, my mother and sister both love flowers, and sometimes I give flowers to them on different occasions, such as when needed or on their birthdays.'

'both of them' is wordy; 'them' suffices. 'on need' is unnatural — use 'when needed' or 'when necessary.' Use plural 'birthdays' when referring to each person's birthday. Replace 'like' with 'such as' for examples.'

× 'So they like flowers very much, especially red roses and uh, one time I also ordered a black rose.'

✓ 'They like flowers very much, especially red roses, and once I also ordered a black rose.'

'one time' is informal and awkward; use 'once' for a past event. Keep present tense 'they like' for general preference and past 'ordered' for the specific past action.'

× 'No, there are not too much flowers where I live.'

✓ 'No, there are not too many flowers where I live.'

'much' is used with uncountable nouns; 'flowers' is countable, so use 'many.' Also ensure 'there are not' is acceptable, though 'there aren’t' is common in speech.'

× 'The reason is that the area is mostly, uh, you can say rocky and flowers don't grow over there and uh, but I, I have planted flowers in my home.'

✓ 'The reason is that the area is mostly rocky and flowers don't grow there, but I have planted flowers at my home.'

'you can say' is unnecessary; remove filler. 'over there' is redundant with 'there.' Use 'at my home' or 'in my garden' instead of 'in my home' depending on intended meaning. Remove duplicated 'I.'

× 'In routine life, I don't take photos of flowers, uh, because I don't prefer to and uh, I usually take pictures of flowers when they newly grow on in spring season.'

✓ 'In my daily life, I don't take photos of flowers because I prefer not to, and I usually take pictures of flowers when they newly grow in the spring.'

'In routine life' is awkward; use 'in my daily life.' 'I don't prefer to' is unnatural — use 'I prefer not to.' 'newly grow on in spring season' is ungrammatical; use 'when they newly grow in the spring' or 'in spring.' Omit redundant 'season.'

× 'As far as I think people in my country, uh, do not send flowers to others.'

✓ 'As far as I know, people in my country do not often send flowers to others.'

'As far as I think' is unnatural; use 'As far as I know.' Also add 'often' to reflect frequency and remove filler.'

× 'Uh, I would say that 30% of populations and flowers to their relatives or their loved ones.'

✓ 'I would say that about 30% of the population send flowers to their relatives or loved ones.'

'30% of populations' is incorrect; use '30% of the population.' The verb 'send' is missing. Remove redundant 'their' before 'loved ones.' Use 'about' for approximation.'

× 'And, uh, this shows affection and, uh, also shows at how much you love.'

✓ 'And this shows affection and also shows how much you love someone.'

'shows at how much' is ungrammatical; use 'shows how much.' Add the object 'someone' or specify who is loved. Remove filler words and extra commas.'
