Flowers— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be concise and correct grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one brief supporting detail. Avoid repetition and incorrect tense/negation. Use linking words like 'however' or 'but' correctly.

예시: Yes, I love flowers. I enjoy receiving them because they brighten my day and make me feel appreciated. However, I haven't received any recently, although someone asked about my favorite flower and I hope they might give me one.

제안: Give a clear topic sentence and then provide specific examples with correct vocabulary and linking words. Avoid filler phrases like 'you know' and check spelling of flower names.

예시: Yes, many people I know love flowers. For example, some friends enjoy sunflowers and lilacs; they often travel to Baguio to see sunflower fields because the sight is so beautiful and pleasant to the eye.

제안: Respond directly then add one or two specific supporting details. Use correct grammar for countable nouns (many/few) and connect ideas with 'because' or 'compared to'.

예시: No, there aren't many flowers where I live now because I live in the city. Compared to the provinces where I used to live, there are fewer plants and trees here.

제안: Keep the answer natural and structured: state frequency, give a reason, and use linking words like 'but' correctly. Remove filler phrases and be specific about when you take photos.

예시: Sometimes I take photos of flowers because they look beautiful, especially when they are in bloom. But I don't always take pictures—for example, I skip it when the flowers are common or I'm in a hurry.

제안: Answer directly then provide cultural specifics with clear reasons. Use linking words to list occasions and avoid repeating similar words. Be concise.

예시: Yes, people in the Philippines often give flowers on special occasions. For example, suitors give flowers to express affection, and flowers are also common at graduations or other celebrations to show congratulations.

× But I haven't yet since no man still haven't tried to give me flowers.

✓ But I haven't yet since no man has tried to give me flowers.

The error is use of plural verb 'haven't' with singular subject 'no man' in present perfect. For third person singular the auxiliary should be 'has'. Use 'no man has tried' or better 'nobody has tried'. Avoid double negatives and keep subject-verb agreement.

× But someone asked me recently what's my favorite flower and I'm expecting he's gonna give me one.

✓ But someone asked me recently what my favorite flower is and I'm expecting he's going to give me one.

The original mixes informal contraction 'gonna' and incorrect question word order. In reported clauses use 'what my favorite flower is'. Replace 'gonna' with 'going to' for correct present continuous/future informal register. This fixes word order and grammar.

× Yes, I do know a lot of people who love flowers, like, you know, sunflowers, lilac, bocumbillia.

✓ Yes, I know a lot of people who love flowers, for example sunflowers, lilacs, and bougainvillea.

Use plural for countable nouns (sunflowers, lilacs). 'Bocumbillia' is likely misspelling of 'bougainvillea'. Also remove redundant 'do' for emphasis unless needed. Use 'for example' instead of 'like, you know' for clarity.

× They like going to Baguio and see sunflowers.

✓ They like going to Baguio to see sunflowers.

Parallel structure requires infinitive 'to see' after 'like going ... to see' or change to 'They like going to Baguio and seeing sunflowers.' Maintain consistent verb forms.

× And yeah, I think it's just so beautiful to see and pleasing in the eyes.

✓ And yeah, I think it's just so beautiful to see and pleasing to the eye.

Use the fixed expression 'pleasing to the eye' rather than 'pleasing in the eyes'. Also keep parallelism: 'beautiful to see and pleasing to the eye.'

× Actually no, I live now in the city and I see few flowers, plants and trees here.

✓ Actually no, I live in the city now and I see few flowers, plants, and trees here.

Move adverb 'now' to natural position 'live in the city now'. Add Oxford comma for clarity (optional). 'Few' is acceptable if intended meaning 'not many'.

× So there are not much flowers here and like in provinces that I've lived before.

✓ So there are not many flowers here, unlike in the provinces where I lived before.

Use 'many' with plural countable noun 'flowers' instead of 'much'. Use 'unlike in the provinces' or 'compared to the provinces where I lived before' for correct comparison and natural phrasing.

× Yes, sometimes I do take photos of flowers because they are just so beautiful and pleasant in the eyes, but sometimes I do not since they're just, you know, I usually see them and there's nothing much special to them.

✓ Yes, sometimes I take photos of flowers because they are just so beautiful and pleasant to the eye, but sometimes I do not because I usually see them and there is nothing very special about them.

Remove unnecessary 'do' for simple present. Use 'pleasant to the eye' not 'in the eyes'. Use 'because' not 'since' for causal clarity. Use 'there is' and 'very special about them' for natural phrasing.

× Yes, actually here in the Philippines when you court someone, sometimes you give flowers to them to show your appreciation, your love, your affection and sometimes they do give flowers also if someone graduates.

✓ Yes, actually here in the Philippines, when you court someone you sometimes give them flowers to show your appreciation, love, or affection, and sometimes people also give flowers when someone graduates.

Place pronoun 'them' directly after verb 'give' ('give them flowers'). Remove redundant commas and reorder list for natural flow. Use 'people' instead of 'they' for general subject and 'when someone graduates' rather than 'if' for common occurrence.
