Plants— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Make the answer more grammatical, concise and add one specific detail. Start with a clear topic sentence, use correct plurality and verb agreement, and include a brief reason with a linking word. Avoid redundancy.

例: Yes, I keep several houseplants, such as a rubber plant, a money plant and a small palm. They brighten my living room and, because they improve air quality, I find them calming.

提案: Give a direct topic sentence and then a short, specific story with correct tense and fewer hesitations. Use linking words (e.g., and then, after) to show sequence and mention a clear result.

例: When I was a child I planted a mango tree in our backyard. After a few years it started to bear fruit, and we enjoyed fresh mangoes every summer.

提案: Organize the answer into a clear list with correct vocabulary and grammar. Begin with a topic sentence, then use linking words (first, then, finally) and specific, appropriate terms (fertiliser, pesticides, drainage). Avoid repeating words.

例: Yes, I know some basics of growing plants. First, water them regularly but avoid overwatering; then ensure good soil and drainage. Finally, use a suitable fertiliser and apply pesticides only when necessary.

提案: Answer directly and hedge if unsure. Use one or two clear reasons with correct pronouns and fewer repetitions. Offer a possibility or example rather than absolute statements.

例: I'm not sure, but some Chinese people do give plants as gifts because plants can symbolize good luck and harmony. For example, a small lucky bamboo is often given at housewarmings.

× There are so many type of plants in my home like rubber plant, money plant, palm tree because this plant give energy and more peace.

✓ There are so many types of plants in my home, like rubber plants, money plants, and a palm tree, because these plants give energy and more peace.

The noun 'type' should be plural 'types' after 'many'. Specific plant names must agree in number: 'rubber plant' and 'money plant' should be plural or consistent with 'a palm tree'; also 'this plant' should be 'these plants' to match plural subject. Use commas to separate items.

× Yes, when I was a child, then I am planting a mango tree, uh, and a few year off after few years mango tree give a fruits and uh, all thing.

✓ Yes, when I was a child, I planted a mango tree, and after a few years the mango tree gave fruits and other things.

The action refers to the past, so use the simple past 'planted' not present 'am planting'. 'A few year off' is incorrect; use 'after a few years'. 'Give' should be past 'gave'. Articles and plural nouns need correction: 'a fruits' -> 'fruits' and 'all thing' -> 'other things'.

× Yes, I know how to grow plants when you planted in your yard so you first thing you provide good water and timely give a water and a good chemicals for bacteria, pesticides and all things when you doing all things to sow plants your your plant.

✓ Yes, I know how to grow plants. When you plant in your yard, first you should provide good water and water regularly, and use suitable chemicals for bacteria and pests. When you do all these things, your plants will grow well.

Mixing tenses: start with present 'I know' and use present simple instructions: 'when you plant' not 'planted'. Use modal 'should' for advice. 'Timely give a water' is ungrammatical; use 'water regularly'. 'A good chemicals' -> 'suitable chemicals' and 'pesticides' not 'for bacteria, pesticides' (clarify). 'When you doing' should be 'when you do'. Fix subject-verb agreement 'your plant' -> 'your plants'.

× I don't know Chinese people give plants for gift because I think he believe in rituals and when Chinese people give plants and he think he think this is a peaceful and organic gift.

✓ I don't know if Chinese people give plants as gifts, because I think they believe in rituals. When Chinese people give plants, they may think it is a peaceful and natural gift.

Pronoun errors: 'he' is incorrect when referring to 'Chinese people' (plural) so use 'they'. Use 'if' to introduce uncertainty. 'For gift' should be 'as gifts'. Avoid repetition 'he think he think'. 'Organic' is better replaced by 'natural' in this context.
