Flowers— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Câu trả lời tự nhiên và rõ ràng, nhưng bạn nên mở rộng chi tiết cụ thể và dùng liên từ để câu trả lời mạch lạc hơn. Hạn chế lặp ý và cố gắng đưa thêm một ví dụ hoặc mô tả ngắn về một loài hoa bạn biết để câu trả lời hấp dẫn hơn.

Ejemplo: Yes, I do. I find flowers very beautiful and uplifting, especially bright-coloured ones like sunflowers. For example, sunflowers always cheer me up because of their large yellow petals and tall stems, which stand out in a garden.

Sugerencia: Câu trả lời tốt vì có ví dụ cụ thể. Bạn nên gộp câu thành một mạch mượt hơn, tránh các mảnh câu (ví dụ "Actually.") và thêm chi tiết về việc cô ấy chăm sóc cây như cách tưới, bón phân hay một loài hoa tiêu biểu để tăng độ cụ thể.

Ejemplo: Yes, I do. For instance, my primary school friend Hui loves flowers and her balcony is full of petunias and geraniums. She waters them every morning and carefully prunes dead blooms, which is why her plants look so healthy.

Sugerencia: Trả lời rõ lý do và có cấu trúc tốt. Để cải thiện, bạn có thể dùng liên từ để nối câu mạch lạc hơn và nêu ví dụ cụ thể về loại cây gia đình bạn trồng hoặc một cách bạn khắc phục thiếu sáng (ví dụ đặt cây cạnh cửa sổ) để tăng tính chi tiết.

Ejemplo: Not really. Because our houses are close together and tall buildings block most sunlight, it's hard to grow flowers outdoors. However, my family keeps a few shade-tolerant plants like snake plants and peace lilies on our balcony near the window.

Sugerencia: Ý tưởng rõ ràng nhưng câu hơi dài và lặp ý. Nên tách thành 2 câu, dùng liên từ để rõ lý do và nêu một tình huống cụ thể khi bạn có thể chụp (ví dụ khi hoa hiếm hoặc kỷ niệm) để làm phong phú nội dung.

Ejemplo: Not really. I prefer to enjoy flowers in the moment because taking photos can feel distracting. Only on special occasions, such as when I see a rare bloom or at a celebration, would I take a picture to remember it.

Sugerencia: Trả lời đầy đủ, có các ví dụ cụ thể về dịp tặng hoa. Để hoàn thiện hơn, bạn có thể thêm một câu ngắn giải thích vì sao hoa được chọn cho những dịp đó hoặc nêu một ví dụ về loài hoa phổ biến trong các dịp này để tăng tính cụ thể.

Ejemplo: Yes, people often send flowers, especially between couples, and on occasions like Vietnamese Women's Day and Teachers' Day. For example, red roses are popular for romantic gestures, while orchids and lilies are commonly given to show respect and gratitude.

× Yes, I do. Actually. Most of the girls I know are into flowers, especially my primary school friend Hui.

✓ Yes, I do. Actually, most of the girls I know are into flowers, especially my primary school friend Hui.

The original has a period after 'Actually' creating a sentence fragment. This is a sentence structure error. Combine 'Actually' with the following clause using a comma to form a complete sentence. Suggestion: use 'Actually, most...' or 'Actually most...' (with comma preferred).

× what I admire is that she has personally taken care of and grown many of them herself.

✓ what I admire is that she has personally taken care of and has grown many of them herself.

The parallel verbs after 'has' should both reflect the present perfect. The original omits the auxiliary 'has' before 'grown', which can be acceptable in casual speech but is clearer and more grammatically parallel when repeated. Suggestion: include the auxiliary for parallelism: 'has personally taken care of and has grown'. Alternatively use 'has personally taken care of and grown' if stylistically preferred but ensure clarity.

× As a result, it's not really an ideal place for growing flowers.

✓ As a result, it isn't really an ideal place for growing flowers.

Contraction 'it's' is correct but avoid contractions in formal responses. This is not a grammatical error per se; however some exam settings prefer full form 'it is'. If insisting on grammar types, this is subject-verb agreement affirmation; the original sentence is acceptable. Suggestion: use 'it isn't' or 'it is not' for formality. (Note: no change required for grammar correctness.)

× For me flowers are something I just appreciate in the moment and after that I usually don't think about them anymore so taking pictures feel a bit unnecessary.

✓ For me, flowers are something I just appreciate in the moment and after that I usually don't think about them anymore, so taking pictures feels a bit unnecessary.

Two issues: missing commas for clarity and subject-verb agreement: the gerund phrase 'taking pictures' is singular and requires 'feels' not 'feel'. Also add commas after introductory phrase and before the coordinating conjunction to improve readability. Suggestion: 'For me, flowers are... anymore, so taking pictures feels a bit unnecessary.'

× Besides that, flowers are also popular gift on special occasions such as Vietnamese Women's Day, International Women's Days and Teachers Day.

✓ Besides that, flowers are also a popular gift on special occasions such as Vietnamese Women's Day, International Women's Day and Teachers' Day.

Missing indefinite article 'a' before 'popular gift' and inconsistent pluralization and possessive forms for holiday names. Use singular 'International Women's Day' and possessive 'Teachers' Day' (or 'Teachers' Day'). Suggestion: 'a popular gift', 'International Women's Day', 'Teachers' Day'.
