Plants— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be more natural and concise: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Correct tense and grammar, avoid repetition. Mention specific plants or a short example of why they bring happiness.

예시: Yes, I keep several potted plants at home. For example, I grow a small ficus and some herbs like basil; they make my living room look greener and caring for them reduces my stress because watering and trimming are calming activities.

제안: Use correct tense and a clearer structure: give a topic sentence then one specific detail about the experience. Remove filler words and repetition. Explain briefly why it was a good experience.

예시: When I was young, I grew tomato and potato plants in my parents' garden. It was a great experience because I learned how to plant seeds and watch them develop into vegetables I could eat.

제안: Organize the answer: state briefly what you know, then give a specific step or tip, using linking words to connect ideas. Avoid vague phrases and hesitations, and correct grammar (use plural/singular consistently).

예시: Yes, I know the basics of growing plants: first put good-quality soil in a pot, plant the seed at the right depth, and water it regularly. For example, I always ensure the soil drains well because that prevents root rot and helps the seedling grow healthy.

제안: Be honest but give a brief, structured answer: say you are not sure about China, then offer a related observation or general statement about gifting plants, using linking words. Avoid repeating 'I don't know' and use correct grammar.

예시: I'm not sure about Chinese customs, but in my country many people give plants as gifts because they symbolize life and good luck. For instance, potted lucky bamboo or small flowering plants are common presents for new homes.

× I love to grow at different varieties of plants and it was more happiness when the small plant was growing a big tree.

✓ I love to grow different varieties of plants and it made me very happy when a small plant grew into a big tree.

Incorrect preposition 'at' after 'grow' and incorrect tense/verb forms. Use 'grow different varieties' (no preposition) and past tense 'made' to match 'was' meaning. Use 'a small plant grew into a big tree' for correct verb and preposition for transformation. Suggestion: remove unnecessary prepositions, use past tense consistently, and use 'grow into' for transformation.

× I will prefer other person to grow a plant in their house.

✓ I would prefer other people to grow a plant in their houses.

Modal 'will prefer' is unnatural; use 'would prefer' for preference. Also singular/plural mismatch: 'other person' should be 'other people' or 'another person' and 'their house' should match plural 'people' or use 'his or her house'. Suggestion: use 'would prefer' for preferences and keep nouns and pronouns consistent in number.

× It was stress relief and give more happiness.

✓ It was stress relief and gave me more happiness.

Verb 'give' should be in past tense 'gave' to agree with 'was'. Also sentence is awkward: 'It was a stress reliever and made me happier' would be better. Suggestion: keep consistent tense and use noun 'stress reliever' or 'was stress-relieving'.

× I grown plants like tomato, potato plants when I was young, uh, in that time, in that time, it is actually a very good experience.

✓ I grew plants like tomatoes and potatoes when I was young; at that time it was a very good experience.

'Grown' is past participle, but simple past 'grew' is required. 'Tomato, potato plants' should be plural 'tomatoes and potato plants' or 'tomatoes and potatoes'. 'In that time' is unnatural; use 'at that time'. Also tense consistency: use past tense 'it was'. Suggestion: use simple past for completed actions and correct plural nouns and time expressions.

× As I know something that we want to put a soil in some pot and we need to put a seed and watering to them it give more happiness.

✓ As far as I know, we put soil in a pot, put a seed in it, and water it; it makes us happy.

Mixed and incorrect tenses and forms: 'want to put a soil' is wrong — use 'put soil' or 'add soil'. 'Watering to them' is incorrect; use 'water them' or 'water it'. 'It give' needs present tense 'gives' or 'makes us happy'. Also use articles correctly: 'a pot' and uncountable 'soil'. Suggestion: Use clear sequence verbs in simple present for general facts, use correct verb forms ('put', 'water'), and correct articles.

× And when the seed was grown, some roots, uh, it was naked and I love to see that.

✓ When the seed grew, some roots were exposed and I loved to see that.

'Was grown' is passive and incorrect here; use active past 'grew'. 'It was naked' is unnatural for roots; use 'roots were exposed'. Tense of 'love' should be past 'loved' to match earlier past events. Suggestion: Use active past tense for plant growth descriptions and choose appropriate verbs like 'exposed' for visible roots.

× I don't know about Chinese people that they were send gifts.

✓ I don't know whether Chinese people send plants as gifts.

Awkward pronoun and tense usage: 'that they were send gifts' is ungrammatical. Use 'whether' to introduce uncertainty and simple present 'send' for habitual actions. Suggestion: Use 'whether' for unknown habits and correct verb form 'send'.

× Some Indian people can also gift plants.

✓ Some Indian people also give plants as gifts.

Verb 'gift' as transitive is possible but informal; 'give plants as gifts' is more natural. Use simple present 'give' for habitual actions. Also avoid 'can' unless expressing ability. Suggestion: Use natural collocation 'give as gifts' and simple present for general statements.
