Plants— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be direct and correct basic grammar: use a clear topic sentence, correct verb forms and articles, avoid redundancy. Give one or two specific details (number, types, care routine) linked logically. Keep answers within 3–4 sentences and use linking words like 'also' or 'for example'.

예시: Yes, I keep a few potted plants at home. For example, I have two marigold plants and a small succulent. I water them twice a week and place them in a sunny spot so they bloom well.

제안: Start with a clear topic sentence naming the plant and time. Avoid filler sounds and check word choice (e.g., 'fragrant', not 'viscous'). Use linking words ('because', 'so') to explain why you liked it and mention one specific care habit. Keep it concise and grammatical.

예시: When I was a child I grew a red hibiscus in our garden. I loved its bright color and sweet fragrance, so I watered it regularly and removed dead leaves. Because of that care, it produced large, healthy flowers every summer.

제안: Be concise and use correct vocabulary: 'expert', 'basic knowledge'. Give specific, correct growing tips and link them coherently (e.g., 'for example', 'also'). Avoid vague phrases like 'mixing the waters'.

예시: I'm not an expert, but I have basic knowledge of growing plants. For example, hibiscus needs regular watering and at least four hours of sunlight each day. Also, using well-drained soil helps the plant grow quickly and stay healthy.

제안: Answer directly and avoid uncertain phrasing like 'as most as I've learned'. Use proper nouns and grammar: 'Chinese people', 'give plants as gifts', and provide one or two clear examples or reasons. Mention a reliable context rather than 'TikTok videos' unless clarifying it's anecdotal.

예시: Yes, Chinese people often give plants as gifts for occasions like housewarmings, birthdays, or weddings. For instance, orchids and lucky bamboo are popular because they symbolize good fortune and long life.

× Yes, I have keep plans at my home with beautiful surroundingly over my house.

✓ Yes, I keep plants at my home that beautifully surround my house.

Incorrect articles and word choice: 'have keep plans' is ungrammatical—use present simple 'keep plants'. 'Plans' should be 'plants'. 'Surroundingly over my house' is incorrect phrasing; use 'that beautifully surround my house'. Remove unnecessary article 'have' before 'keep'. Suggestions: use correct nouns ('plants'), correct verb form (present simple 'keep'), and clear relative clause ordering.'

× I have keep some like 1 little and one some kinds of Marigold flowers, which is very beautiful at my home.

✓ I have a few marigold plants, one small one and some others, which are very beautiful at my home.

Plural agreement and articles: 'Marigold flowers' can be plural but the sentence mixes singular and plural incorrectly. '1 little and one some kinds' is ungrammatical. Use 'a few marigold plants' or 'several marigold plants', and ensure the verb 'are' agrees with plural 'plants'. Suggestions: use 'a few' for small number, keep consistent plural forms, and use 'are' for plural predicate.

× It's looks very gorgeous and I always give them water and keep it the sun.

✓ They look very gorgeous and I always give them water and put them in the sun.

Subject-verb agreement and pronoun reference: 'It's looks' mixes singular contraction 'it's' with plural verb 'looks'. Use 'They look' for plants. 'Keep it the sun' is incorrect verb and preposition usage—use 'put them in the sun'. Also 'give them water' is correct. Suggestions: match subject number to verb and use correct verb + preposition ('put in').

× So it's very.

✓ So they are very beautiful.

Incomplete sentence: 'So it's very.' lacks a clear adjective and correct subject reference. Replace with a full clause that refers to the plants ('they are very beautiful'). Suggestions: ensure sentences have subject, verb, and object/complement.

× Uh, when I was Zong uh, I grew a plant called hibiscus.

✓ When I was young, I grew a plant called a hibiscus.

Word choice and article omission: 'Zong' seems to be a mispronunciation of 'young'. Include the article 'a' before 'hibiscus' when referring to a single plant. Suggestions: use correct word 'young' and include indefinite article for singular countable noun.

× Uh, it was very, uh, beautiful flower and was colored red.

✓ It was a very beautiful flower and was red in color.

Adjective and article use: missing article before 'beautiful flower'—use 'a very beautiful flower'. 'Was colored red' is awkward; use 'was red' or 'was red in color'. Suggestions: include appropriate articles and prefer natural adjective order.

× I always used to give uh, water and used to take care of this flower because the smells aroma of this flower has got me and I love this flower very much.

✓ I always used to give it water and take care of this flower because the flower's aroma attracted me and I loved this flower very much.

Tense consistency and word choice: mix of 'used to' with present 'has got me' and 'I love' is inconsistent. For past habits, keep past tense: 'used to give it water and take care' and 'attracted me' or 'I loved'. Also 'smells aroma' is incorrect; use 'the flower's aroma' or 'its scent'. Suggestions: maintain past tense for past habits and use possessive or 'scent'.

× It's viscous and I also remembered now.

✓ It is vivid in my memory and I still remember it now.

Wrong adjective and verb form: 'viscous' is the wrong word (means thick/sticky). Use 'vivid in my memory' or 'I still remember it'. 'I also remembered now' mixes past and present; use present 'I remember it now' or 'I still remember it'. Suggestions: choose correct lexical items and match tense properly.

× Uh, I'm not a export, uh, to know about a growing plant, but uh, definitely I have a plant or hibiscus flower.

✓ I'm not an expert on growing plants, but I do have a hibiscus plant.

Incorrect article usage and word forms: 'a export' should be 'an expert'. 'to know about a growing plant' is awkward—say 'on growing plants'. Also 'I have a plant or hibiscus flower' is unclear; use 'a hibiscus plant'. Suggestions: use correct article 'an', correct noun 'expert', and idiomatic preposition 'on'.

× So I have some basic knowledges about giving some water and putting into the sun.

✓ So I have some basic knowledge about giving them water and putting them in the sun.

Uncountable noun and pronoun reference: 'knowledges' is incorrect—'knowledge' is uncountable. Also clarify object references: 'giving some water' -> 'giving them water', 'putting into the sun' -> 'putting them in the sun'. Suggestions: use 'knowledge' and clear pronouns referring to the plants.

× So it gives to helps to grow a flower in the sun and mixing the waters.

✓ So it helps the flower grow when it gets sun and regular watering.

Awkward word order and verb forms: 'gives to helps to grow' is incorrect. Use 'helps the flower grow' and express 'mixing the waters' wrongly—use 'regular watering' or 'consistent watering'. Suggestions: simplify structure: 'helps X grow' and use correct noun phrases for care methods.

× It grows up quickly.

✓ It grows quickly.

Unnecessary particle: 'grows up' is acceptable for people but for plants 'grows' or 'grows quickly' is more natural. Remove 'up'. Suggestions: use 'grows quickly' for plants.

× Oh yes, definitely. As most as I've learned, uh, Chinese residents are always gives plants as a gifts somehow, uh, being in a events like birthday or some kinds of marriage, they definitely give up plants and I've seen in through the tik Toks videos.

✓ Oh yes, definitely. As far as I have learned, Chinese people often give plants as gifts at events like birthdays or weddings; they even show this in videos on TikTok.

Multiple structural and grammar errors: 'As most as I've learned' should be 'As far as I have learned'. 'Chinese residents' is better as 'Chinese people'. 'Are always gives' mixes continuous and base verb—use 'often give' or 'frequently give'. 'As a gifts' should be 'as gifts'. 'Being in a events' wrong—use 'at events like birthdays or weddings'. 'Give up plants' is incorrect phrasal verb; use 'give plants'. 'I've seen in through the tik Toks videos' should be 'I have seen this in TikTok videos'. Suggestions: use idiomatic expressions ('as far as I know'), correct verb forms, plural nouns for 'gifts', and correct prepositions ('at events').
