Do you keep plants at home?
Puntuación: 62.0Sugerencia: 回答直接表达了“不养植物”的观点,也给出了忙碌和不实用两个原因,内容基本切题。但句子过长,多个原因之间缺少清晰的连接;“plant anything to it”表达错误,应改为“grow anything myself”或“grow plants”;“in the grocery stores”在这里更自然的说法是“at the grocery store”。建议使用“because”解释一个主要原因,再用“Besides”补充第二个原因,并避免重复使用“because”。
Ejemplo: Not really. I’m quite busy, so I don’t have much time to look after plants. Besides, I don’t find them very practical because I can simply buy herbs or flowers at the grocery store when I need them.
What plant did you grow when you were young?
Puntuación: 55.0Sugerencia: 回答包含了没有种过植物以及曾经有过想法的信息,但开头重复“No, I didn't”,并且“plan anything”应为“plant anything”;“plant characters”意思不清,可能想表达“种花”或“种蔬菜”;“in a primary school”应改为“in primary school”。另外,问题询问具体种过什么植物,最好直接回答“我没有种过”,再说明原因。
Ejemplo: I didn’t grow any plants when I was young. However, I wanted to grow some flowers when I was in primary school. Unfortunately, my mother didn’t let me because she thought I was too young to take care of them.
Do you know anything about growing a plant?
Puntuación: 58.0Sugerencia: 回答有具体经历,说明曾帮父亲浇花并因浇水过多导致花死亡,这一点有助于丰富内容。但句子结构不完整,结尾“I know little about”缺少宾语,应说“I know very little about growing plants”;“because he forced me to”语气较生硬,可以改为“because he asked me to”;建议使用“Unfortunately”连接结果,并明确说明从这次经历中学到了什么。
Ejemplo: I know very little about growing plants. I sometimes help my father water his plants, but I once gave a flower too much water and it eventually died. Since then, I’ve learned that plants need regular care, but not too much water.
Do Chinese people send plants as gifts?
Puntuación: 60.0Sugerencia: 回答表达了中国人很少送植物,并给出了携带不方便的原因,也进行了礼物选择的比较。但“because Chinese”是重复和不完整的表达;“take a flower with you”不够准确,可改为“transport a plant”;“taking alcohol or money”不自然,应改为“giving alcohol or money”。此外,可以补充植物在特殊场合仍可能作为礼物,使观点更加准确。
Ejemplo: Chinese people do give plants as gifts, but it isn’t very common. Plants can be difficult to transport, especially if they are large or fragile, so many people prefer to give alcohol, fruit, or a red envelope instead. However, small potted plants are sometimes given as housewarming gifts.
× I don't need to plant anything to it I can buy them in the grocery stores.
✓ I don't need to plant anything; I can buy plants at grocery stores.
“plant anything to it”中的介词“to”使用错误。“plant”后面通常直接接种植的对象,不需要“to”。表示在商店购买东西时,通常使用介词“at”,所以应说“buy plants at grocery stores”。
× Not really because I'm quite busy and have no time to take care of the plants and I think it's impractical because I don't need to plant anything to it I can buy them in the grocery stores.
✓ Not really, because I'm quite busy and don't have time to take care of plants. I think it's impractical because I don't need to plant anything; I can buy plants at grocery stores.
原句包含多个独立分句,但没有使用正确的标点或连接词,导致句子过长、结构混乱。应将意思分成两个句子,并使用逗号和分号连接相关内容。
× I did want to plant characters when I was in a primary school.
✓ I did want to plant characters when I was in primary school.
这里的“primary school”表示一个教育阶段,而不是某一所特定的学校,因此通常不使用不定冠词“a”。应说“when I was in primary school”。
× No, I don't I do help my father to water the plants because he forced me to.
✓ No, I don't know much about growing plants. I do help my father water the plants because he forced me to.
“No, I don't I do help...”中有两个完整句子直接连接在一起,缺少句号或其他连接方式,造成句子结构错误。应将否定回答补充完整,并拆分成两个句子。
× But eventually the flower died because once I watered too much so I think I know little about.
✓ But eventually, the flower died because I watered it too much once.
“because”和“so”不能在同一个因果结构中同时使用,否则会造成重复连接。这里已经使用“because”说明原因,因此应删除“so”。另外,“watered”后面需要明确指出被浇水的对象,所以补充代词“it”。
× I think I know little about.
✓ I think I know little about growing plants.
介词“about”后面需要接宾语。原句在“about”后没有补充内容,因此句子不完整。可以使用动名词短语“growing plants”作为“about”的宾语。
× Yes, but quite rarely because Chinese because it is hard to take a flower with you, it's heavy.
✓ Yes, but quite rarely. For Chinese people, it is hard to take a flower with them because it is heavy.
原句重复使用了两个“because”,并且“because Chinese”本身不能构成完整的原因从句。应删除重复的连词,并使用“for Chinese people”明确说明“对中国人来说”。同时,主语是复数“Chinese people”,所以后面用代词“them”更合适。
