Plants— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be concise and correct grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Correct verb agreement and remove redundancy.

例: Yes, I keep a small potted tree in my room. I often look at it in my free time because its green leaves help me relax, and I find caring for it therapeutic.

提案: Use singular/plural consistently and correct vocabulary. Provide a clear topic sentence followed by specific details and linking words. Replace incorrect words (e.g., 'deadlift') with 'dead leaves' or 'spent blooms'.

例: When I was young, I planted roses in our small garden. I watered them every day and regularly removed dead leaves so the plants stayed healthy, because I loved watching the flowers bloom.

提案: Avoid fillers and correct grammar (verb forms, articles). Give a clear topic sentence and then specific examples of skills learned, linked with connectors like 'for example' or 'such as'.

例: Yes, I learned a lot from my father, who really loves gardening. For example, he taught me how to water plants properly, check soil quality, and test moisture levels to keep them healthy.

提案: Be direct about uncertainty and avoid unclear references. Use one clear sentence stating your view, then add a brief reason or example. Correct pronouns and awkward phrasing.

例: I'm not sure, as I haven't personally seen many plants given as gifts in China. However, I think people sometimes give small potted plants to friends or parents for occasions like housewarmings or holidays.

× Yes I do, I keep a small tree in my room and I often look at it when I have free time because it make me feel relaxed and comfortable.

✓ Yes I do, I keep a small tree in my room and I often look at it when I have free time because it makes me feel relaxed and comfortable.

The verb 'make' refers to the singular subject 'it' (the tree), so it must take the third person singular form 'makes'. Suggestion: use 'it makes' whenever the subject is singular in present tense.

× When I was young I planted rose in my small garden. I watered them every day and remove deadlift to keep the plant healthy because I love seeing the flower bloom.

✓ When I was young I planted roses in my small garden. I watered them every day and removed dead leaves to keep the plants healthy because I loved seeing the flowers bloom.

Multiple errors: 'rose' should be plural 'roses' if referring to more than one; 'them' implies plural so nouns must match. 'remove' is present tense but the context is past, so use past 'removed' (Past tense issue). 'deadlift' is incorrect word choice; likely 'dead leaves'. Also maintain consistent past tense: 'I loved' and plural 'flowers' and 'plants'. Suggestions: match singular/plural forms between nouns and pronouns, use correct vocabulary 'dead leaves', and keep tense consistent in past narratives.

× I watered them every day and remove deadlift to keep the plant healthy because I love seeing the flower bloom.

✓ I watered them every day and removed dead leaves to keep the plants healthy because I loved seeing the flowers bloom.

Subject-verb agreement and tense consistency: 'watered' (past) should pair with 'removed' (past). 'the plant' conflicts with plural 'them' so use 'plants'. 'flower' should be plural 'flowers' to match context. Suggestion: ensure pronouns, nouns, and verbs agree in number and tense.

× Yes I do. I know this umm from my father who really love plants. He teach me how to watering plant and how to check the and the quality of soil to make my plant healthy.

✓ Yes I do. I learned this from my father who really loves plants. He taught me how to water plants and how to check the quality of the soil to make my plants healthy.

Several issues: 'know' is possible but past 'learned' fits context (Past tense issue). 'love' should be 'loves' for third person singular. 'teach' should be past 'taught'. 'how to watering' is incorrect: after 'how to' use base verb 'water' (Verb + -ing form issue). Missing or extra articles: 'the quality of soil' should be 'the quality of the soil'. Also plural consistency 'plants'. Suggestions: use correct verb forms and third-person 's', use base form after 'to', and include articles where needed.

× Do you know anything about growing a plant?

✓ Do you know anything about growing plants?

Using 'a plant' suggests a single plant in general, but asking about general knowledge uses the uncountable/ plural 'plants' or 'growing plants'. Suggestion: use plural when asking about general activity or omit article: 'growing plants'.

× I'm not sure about this because I haven't seen a Chinese sand plants as a gift before, but maybe sometime They often do that to her, to the friends or umm, parents.

✓ I'm not sure about this because I haven't seen Chinese people send plants as a gift before, but sometimes they often do that for friends or parents.

Multiple issues: 'a Chinese sand plants' is ungrammatical—likely intended 'Chinese people send plants'. 'sometime' should be 'sometimes'. Capitalization 'They' mid-sentence is wrong. 'do that to her, to the friends' is unclear; correct phrasing is 'do that for friends or parents'. Suggestion: reorder words to subject-verb-object structure, use 'people' after nationality adjective, use 'sometimes', and use 'for' with recipients.

× He teach me how to watering plant and how to check the and the quality of soil to make my plant healthy.

✓ He taught me how to water plants and how to check the quality of the soil to make my plants healthy.

'He teach' should be past 'He taught' (tense and third person singular). After 'how to' use base verb 'water' not 'watering' (Verb + -ing form). Also fix articles and plurality. Suggestion: use past tense for reported learning and base verb after 'to'.
