Flowers— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and organise your answer: start with a direct statement, then give one or two clear reasons with specific details. Avoid filler words (uh, um) and repetition (beautiful smell/very beautiful). Use linking words like 'because' and 'also' to connect ideas.

Ejemplo: Yes, I love flowers. My favourite is the rose because of its vivid red colour and pleasant fragrance, and I often choose floral perfumes that remind me of roses.

Sugerencia: Answer directly, then give a specific example with clear grammar. Avoid tense and pronoun errors (use present tense and correct pronouns). Limit to two sentences and use a linking phrase such as 'for example' to introduce the detail.

Ejemplo: Yes, many people I know enjoy flowers. For example, my mother loves yellow flowers because yellow is her favourite colour and they brighten her home.

Sugerencia: Start with a clear topic sentence and give specific reasons. Use correct determiners and singular/plural forms ('a lot of flowers' / 'many flowers'). Replace fillers and repetitive words with concise vocabulary and add one supporting detail with a linking word such as 'because'.

Ejemplo: No, there are not many flowers where I live because I live in a desert area. Instead, most plants are drought‑resistant, such as cacti and succulents.

Sugerencia: Give a clear direct answer, then explain with one specific example. Avoid repeating the same idea and correct verb forms (e.g., 'plants', 'take pictures of my mother in the garden'). Use linking words like 'but' or 'however' properly to contrast ideas.

Ejemplo: No, I don't usually photograph flowers myself, but I often take photos of my mother in her garden because she plants many colourful flowers and works there every weekend.

Sugerencia: Answer directly and use correct vocabulary and expressions for occasions (e.g., 'March 8th, International Women's Day'). Be concise and avoid vague phrases. Use one linking phrase to explain when and why flowers are given.

Ejemplo: Yes, people often give flowers on special occasions, especially on March 8th, International Women's Day. On that day it is common for men to give flowers to women as a gesture of appreciation.

× Of course, my favorite flower is rose because it's red and beautiful and it has a beautiful smell.

✓ Of course, my favorite flower is the rose because it's red and beautiful and it has a beautiful smell.

The noun 'rose' as a specific type is countable and needs the definite article 'the' when talking about a specific flower type as a favorite. Use 'the rose' to refer to the flower species in general as your favorite. Suggestion: Use 'the' with singular countable nouns when referring to a specific type or class (the rose).

× Very beautiful smell flowers.

✓ Flowers with a very beautiful smell.

The original word order is incorrect. Adjectives should precede nouns, and 'smell' as a noun needs a modifier 'beautiful' turned into 'a very beautiful smell' or use 'fragrant'. Suggestion: Reorder to 'flowers with a very beautiful smell' or simply 'very fragrant flowers'.

× Yes, I had many friends and family members, uh, likes, uh, who likes flowers.

✓ Yes, I have many friends and family members who like flowers.

Tense and subject-verb agreement: 'had' suggests past but context is present; 'who likes' does not agree with plural 'friends and family members'. Use present 'have' and plural verb 'like'. Suggestion: Use 'have' for current possession and 'like' for plural subjects.

× Yellow is my mother's favorite color, so that I think he likes yellow flowers like uh.

✓ Yellow is my mother's favorite color, so I think she likes yellow flowers.

Pronoun error: 'he' refers to a male but the subject is 'my mother' (female). Remove extraneous 'that' and 'like uh'. Suggestion: Use correct gendered pronouns and avoid filler words.

× Uh, we don't have a flowers in our hometown because I live in, uh, desert, desert like places.

✓ Uh, we don't have many flowers in our hometown because I live in desert-like places.

'a flowers' mixes singular article with plural noun; use 'many flowers' or 'any flowers'. Also 'desert-like' should be hyphenated as a compound adjective. Suggestion: Use 'many' or 'any' with plural nouns and hyphenate compound modifiers.

× Uh, we've got a cactus cactus and like that kind of, umm, drink less plants.

✓ Uh, we've got cacti and other drought-resistant plants.

'a cactus cactus' is repetitive; plural of cactus is 'cacti' (or 'cactuses'); 'drink less plants' is incorrect phrase for plants that need little water — use 'drought-resistant' or 'low-water'. Suggestion: Use correct plural forms and appropriate adjectives for meaning.

× No, I don't like taking pictures with flowers.

✓ No, I don't like taking pictures of flowers.

Preposition: 'take pictures of' is the correct collocation; 'with' would mean using flowers as subjects together with photographer. Use 'of' to indicate the subject of the photo. Suggestion: Memorize common verb+preposition collocations like 'take pictures of'.

× However, my mother always plant flowers.

✓ However, my mother always plants flowers.

Subject-verb agreement: singular subject 'my mother' requires 'plants' (third person singular) not 'plant'. Suggestion: Add 's' for third person singular present tense verbs.

× My mother works in the garden and I always take my mother's pictures on the garden with beautiful natural flowers, like a bigger, smaller, beautiful many flowers I always take.

✓ My mother works in the garden and I always take pictures of her in the garden with many beautiful flowers of different sizes.

Prepositions: use 'in the garden' for location; 'take pictures of her' is clearer than 'take my mother's pictures on the garden'. Word order and quantifier placement were incorrect: 'many beautiful flowers' and 'different sizes' express 'bigger, smaller'. Suggestion: Use 'in' for locations and place quantifiers/adjectives before nouns in logical order.

× I always take my mother's pictures on the garden with beautiful natural flowers, like a bigger, smaller, beautiful many flowers I always take.

✓ I always take pictures of my mother in the garden with many beautiful natural flowers of various sizes.

Quantifier and adjective order: 'many' should come before the noun; 'various sizes' replaces awkward 'bigger, smaller'. Suggestion: Use 'many' before nouns and tidy descriptive phrases into 'various sizes'.

× In my country, them everyone gives flowers, uh, especially on 8 smart, it's Women's Day in my country, I think everywhere that's Women's Day.

✓ In my country, everyone gives flowers, especially on March 8; it's Women's Day in my country and I think everywhere celebrates that day.

Pronoun 'them' is incorrect here (redundant). '8 smart' likely mis-saying 'March 8'. Prepositions and sentence structure needed fixing: 'everyone gives flowers' and 'celebrates that day' are correct. Suggestion: Remove redundant pronouns and use correct date names like 'March 8'.

× Uh, the males give us flowers to females, females and that day the people gives, uh, flowers.

✓ Men give women flowers on that day, and people give flowers to each other.

'The males'/'females' is unnatural; use 'men' and 'women'. 'The people gives' has incorrect verb form — 'people give'. Also 'give us flowers to females' is awkward; 'men give women flowers' is clearer. Suggestion: Use natural nouns (men/women) and correct plural verb forms ('give').
