Flowers— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be concise, use correct grammar and avoid filler words. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details with correct verb forms and articles. For example correct noun forms (a flower), past tense consistency (I dried it), and avoid hesitations like 'umm'.

Ejemplo: Yes, I love flowers. The last time my boyfriend gave me a flower for Valentine’s Day; I dried and framed it so it wouldn’t rot, and now I display it in my room.

Sugerencia: Organize your answer: give a topic sentence, then specific supporting details in order. Use correct names capitalization and simplify sentences to avoid confusion. Keep to two or three short sentences and use linking words like 'because' or 'for example'.

Ejemplo: Yes, my best friend Vinya loves flowers. She has been interested in them for years, and I once gave her a flower during our nursing training, which she really appreciated.

Sugerencia: Be clear and factual. Use correct subject-verb agreement and concrete descriptions. Replace fillers and unclear phrases (e.g., 'UH-2 leaves') with precise details. Limit to two sentences: one direct answer, one specific supporting detail with linking word (but/however).

Ejemplo: No, there aren’t many flowers where I live. However, in my hometown my grandmother grows several plants in our backyard that produce violet, blue and red flowers.

Sugerencia: Complete your ideas and avoid sentence fragments. Give a clear reason using linking words (because/so). Use consistent tense and capitalize place names. Keep it to three sentences max and finish the thought.

Ejemplo: No, I don't usually photograph flowers. The last time was three days ago in Baguio City when I photographed a purple dandelion because its color reminded me of my childhood.

Sugerencia: Answer directly and use correct plural/singular forms and articles. Use linking words to list occasions and explain the cultural reason in one clear sentence. Remove repetitions and hesitations.

Ejemplo: Yes, people often send flowers for events like funerals, graduations, Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day. Flowers are given to show respect or to let someone know they are special.

× I remember the last time when my boyfriend gave me a flowers during Valentine's Day.

✓ I remember the last time my boyfriend gave me a flower on Valentine's Day.

Use of the article is incorrect: 'a flowers' mixes singular article 'a' with plural noun 'flowers'. Choose singular 'a flower' or plural 'flowers' without 'a'. Also, use 'on Valentine's Day' (fixed preposition). Suggestion: use 'a flower' for one item and 'on' for days.

× I've umm, cut it and put it inside a frame where it doesn't rotten and I display it inside my room.

✓ I cut it and put it inside a frame so it wouldn't rot, and I display it in my room.

Tense and verb form errors: 'I've cut' (present perfect) is ok but the sequence describes a past event so simple past 'cut' fits. 'doesn't rotten' is incorrect: use base verb 'rot' after auxiliary 'wouldn't' or 'doesn't rot' for general present. Use 'so it wouldn't rot' to show purpose in past. Use 'in my room' instead of 'inside my room' for natural phrasing.

× Yes my best friend loves flowers, she is vinya and she's been talking about flowers for a decade now but sadly her boyfriend doesn't give her one and during I remember during our nursing career I gave her a flower given by my suitor and she loves it.

✓ Yes, my best friend Vinya loves flowers and has been talking about them for a decade, but sadly her boyfriend doesn't give her any. I remember during our nursing training I gave her a flower from my suitor, and she loved it.

Pronoun and reference issues: 'she is vinya' should be 'my best friend Vinya' (proper noun capitalization and order). 'she's been talking about flowers' is fine but change 'them' to avoid repetition. 'doesn't give her one' is ambiguous; 'any' fits general statement. 'during I remember during our nursing career' is redundant and ungrammatical; use 'I remember during our nursing training'. Maintain past tense 'loved' for that event.

× No, it doesn't have a lot of flowers in place where I live, but in my hometown, uh, my grandmother usually loves to plant flowers.

✓ No, there aren't a lot of flowers where I live, but in my hometown my grandmother usually likes to plant flowers.

Subject-verb and 'there be' structure: 'it doesn't have a lot of flowers in place where I live' is awkward. Use 'there aren't a lot of flowers' (plural agreement). 'my grandmother usually loves to plant flowers' is acceptable but 'likes to plant' is more natural. Remove extra filler words.

× We have UH-2 leaves on our backyard and we just, it has a Violet, blue or red flowers in it.

✓ We have many plants in our backyard, and they have violet, blue, or red flowers.

Incorrect quantifier and noun form: 'UH-2 leaves' is unclear; likely means 'many plants' or 'a few trees'. 'on our backyard' should be 'in our backyard'. 'a Violet, blue or red flowers' mixes singular 'a' with plural 'flowers' and miscapitalizes colors. Use plural agreement and lowercase color names.

× No, I don't usually take pictures of flowers in my daily life but I remember the last time I took a picture of a flower.

✓ No, I don't usually take pictures of flowers in my daily life, but I remember the last time I took a picture of a flower.

This sentence is largely correct; only missing comma added for clarity. Tenses are consistent: present habit 'don't usually take' and past 'I took' is correct.

× It was 3 days ago in Baguio city.

✓ It was three days ago in Baguio City.

Use words for small numbers in formal speech: 'three' instead of '3' and capitalize proper noun 'City' as part of place name. Also no article needed.

× It is a dandelion with Violet or purple color.

✓ It was a dandelion that was violet or purple in color.

Adjective capitalization and tense: colors should be lowercase ('violet'). Maintain past tense 'was' to match previous clause. Use 'that was ... in color' for natural phrasing.

× I took it because it reminds me of.

✓ I took it because it reminded me of home.

Incomplete sentence: 'reminds me of' requires an object. Choose an appropriate object (e.g., 'home') and match past tense 'reminded' to 'I took it' if event is past.

× You yes usually people sends flowers during events such as burial, graduation, Valentine's Day or Mother's Day uh, it, it gives a meaning or it reminds the flower reminds people that uh, that you are special and those flowers.

✓ Yes, people usually send flowers during events such as funerals, graduations, Valentine's Day, or Mother's Day. Flowers have meaning and remind people that someone is special.

Multiple errors: 'You yes' is extraneous. 'people sends' is subject-verb disagreement; use 'people send'. 'burial' is better as 'funerals'. Remove filler 'uh' and repeated phrases. Clarify sentence by splitting into two: one about occasions and one about meaning. Use plural nouns and clear phrasing.
