Plants— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: 先直接回答“No, I don’t”，再说明住在公寓、空间有限以及担心吸引昆虫。注意使用正确搭配： “I live in an apartment”比“I’m living in an apartment”更自然；“there is no extra space”而不是“there is no any extra space”；“plants”不要拼成“plans”。避免用过长的句子连续堆砌多个原因，应使用 because、and 或 also 清楚连接。

Ejemplo: No, I don’t. I live in a small apartment, so there isn’t much extra space for plants. Also, I’m slightly worried that they might attract insects.

Sugerencia: 回答基本表达了没有种过植物，但没有明确说明“小时候种过什么”，可以直接说“I didn’t grow any plants”。注意语法： “no extra space”而不是“no any extra space”，“experience of growing plants”比“experience for growing something”自然，“I’m quite interested”而不是“I quite interest”。最后可以补充未来想尝试种薄荷等具体植物，并说明原因。

Ejemplo: I didn’t grow any plants when I was young because we didn’t have much space at home. However, I’d like to grow some mint in the future because it is easy to look after and has a pleasant smell.

Sugerencia: 应先直接回答“Yes, I do”，然后说明植物生长需要阳光、水、空气和适量肥料。原回答中的“know and clear”应改为“have a clear understanding”，“fertilisers respiratory system”连接不清；植物不需要“vitamin D”，而是利用阳光、二氧化碳和水进行光合作用。注意说“photosynthesis”而不是“a photosynthesis”，并避免一个句子包含太多信息。

Ejemplo: Yes, I do. Since I’m studying biology, I understand the basics of plant growth. Plants need enough sunlight, water and nutrients from the soil, and they use sunlight, carbon dioxide and water for photosynthesis.

Sugerencia: 需要先明确回答中国人是否会送植物，以及在什么场合送。原回答的意思不清楚，可能混淆了“plants”和“flowers”，并且“fire”应为“flowers”或其他准确词语；“more focusing”应改为“focus more”，“then”应改为“than”或根据语境删除。可以具体说明盆栽象征成长、好运或长久关系，并举例说明适合送给朋友或新居主人。

Ejemplo: Yes, some Chinese people give plants as gifts, especially for housewarmings or birthdays. For example, a lucky bamboo plant can represent good fortune and a long-lasting relationship. Plants are also practical because they can make a home look fresher.

× Of course no because I'm living in an apartment therefore there is no any extra space for me to put any plans.

✓ Of course not, because I live in an apartment. Therefore, there is no extra space for me to put any plants.

“There is no any extra space”中，no本身已经表示否定，不能再和any同时使用，应改为“there is no extra space”。“Of course no”在回答一般疑问句时应使用“Of course not”。

× Also there maybe attracted some insects so I don't like it.

✓ Also, they may attract some insects, so I don't like them.

情态动词may后面要接动词原形，因此不能写成“maybe attracted”。如果表达植物可能吸引昆虫，应使用“they may attract”。“plants”是复数，后面应使用代词“them”，而不是“it”。

× As I said, my home has no any extra space for plants, so I don't have any experience for growing something.

✓ As I said, my home has no extra space for plants, so I don't have any experience growing plants.

“has no any extra space”中，no和any不能同时使用，应改为“has no extra space”。“experience”后面可以直接接动名词“growing”，表示“有做某事的经验”。

× But in the future I quite interest to try it because it can refresh the air and my mind.

✓ But in the future, I will be quite interested in trying it because it can refresh the air and my mind.

“interest”是动词，不能直接作表语；表示“感兴趣的”应使用形容词“interested”。固定搭配是“be interested in”，其中in后面接动名词，所以应说“interested in trying”。加入“will be”可以使将来的表达更完整。

× Because I'm studying biology so I know and clear about the basic knowledge of fertilisers respiratory system of the plants so I know growing plants require sunlight.

✓ Because I am studying biology, I have a clear understanding of fertilisers and the respiratory system of plants, so I know that growing plants requires sunlight.

英语中because和so通常不能在同一个原因结构中重复使用。原句缺少清晰的句子结构，应使用逗号、and和so连接不同部分。“know and clear”结构错误，应改为“have a clear understanding”。“growing plants”作为一个动名词短语作主语时通常看作单数，因此谓语应使用“requires”。

× I have a basic knowledge of fertilisers respiratory system of the plants.

✓ I have a basic knowledge of fertilisers and the respiratory system of plants.

“fertilisers”和“the respiratory system”是两个并列内容，需要用and连接。“plants”在这里表示泛指植物，不需要使用the；而“the respiratory system”指具体的生理系统，可以使用the。

× They require enough of vitamin D for them to have a photosynthesis.

✓ They require enough vitamin D for them to carry out photosynthesis.

“enough”修饰不可数名词vitamin D时，直接放在名词前，不使用of。“photosynthesis”通常是不可数名词，不能说“a photosynthesis”。表达进行光合作用时，可以使用“carry out photosynthesis”。

× Certainly, Chinese people may be more focusing on the traditional meaning then flowers can reflect the pause the way to everyone.

✓ Certainly, Chinese people may focus more on the traditional meaning of flowers than on the way they are presented to others.

情态动词may后面必须接动词原形，因此应使用“may focus”，不能使用“may be focusing”来表达一般观点。“focus on”是固定搭配，比较结构中应使用“more ... than ...”，并在两边保持相同的介词结构。

× Because normally people may think fire is refreshing and unwind.

✓ Because people may normally think that flowers are refreshing and relaxing.

“unwind”是动词，不能和形容词refreshing并列作表语；这里应使用形容词“relaxing”。“flowers”是复数主语，所以be动词应使用“are”，不能使用“is”。副词normally放在情态动词may之后，位置更自然。
