Do you love flowers?
Điểm: 58.0Gợi ý: Be more natural and accurate: start with a direct topic sentence, correct grammar (e.g. 'they smell' not 'smells'), avoid unclear words ('stereo' is likely wrong), and give one or two brief specific details. Keep answers under five sentences and use linking words if you add details.
Ví dụ: Yes, I love flowers. They look beautiful and smell lovely, which lifts my mood. For example, I grow roses and geraniums on my balcony because they are low-maintenance and bloom all summer.

Điểm: 66.0Gợi ý: Organize the answer: begin with a clear topic sentence, then contrast the general area with your own home using a linking word (e.g. 'however'). Use precise vocabulary (e.g. 'city centre' and 'concrete') and avoid repetition.

× Yes I do because they are very beautiful and smells very good.
✓ Yes, I do because they are very beautiful and smell very good.
Subject 'they' is plural, so the verb must be the base form 'smell' not 'smells'. Also add a comma after 'Yes' for natural speech. Suggestion: match verb number to plural subjects and include minimal punctuation for clarity.
× I love planting flowers, especially with stereo and roses.
✓ I love planting flowers, especially roses and store-bought ones.
The original phrase 'with stereo and roses' is unclear and likely misorders or misuses words. 'Roses' is fine; 'stereo' seems wrong in context. If intended 'store' or 'store-bought', place adjectives before nouns correctly. Suggestion: use clear noun phrases like 'roses' or 'store-bought flowers' and put adjectives before nouns.
× Yes, my lovers, she really likes to planting flowers and smelling them and always be very delighted when someone gives her a pack of flowers.
✓ Yes, my loved one. She really likes planting flowers and smelling them and is always very delighted when someone gives her a bouquet of flowers.
Mixed and incorrect pronoun/phrase 'my lovers, she' is unclear; use 'my loved one' or 'my partner'. 'Likes to planting' is ungrammatical — after 'likes' use the base verb 'planting' (gerund) or 'to plant' but not both. 'Always be very delighted' needs proper tense and auxiliary: 'is always very delighted'. 'Pack of flowers' is unnatural; 'bouquet' is better. Suggestion: use a single clear noun for the person, choose correct verb forms after 'likes', and ensure correct auxiliary verbs for present state.
× I've been thinking that she's beautiful like.
✓ I've been thinking that she's beautiful.
The sentence ends with 'like' which is unnecessary and ungrammatical here. Remove 'like'. The present perfect continuous 'I've been thinking' works with the clause 'that she's beautiful'. Suggestion: avoid dangling words like 'like' at the end when they do not complete the comparison.
× No, I live in the center of a big city so around me is full of cement, but especially my house because I love planting so there are a lot of flowers.
✓ No, I live in the center of a big city, so the area around me is full of concrete, but especially my house: because I love planting, there are a lot of flowers.
'Around me is full of cement' is awkward; use 'the area around me is full of concrete'. Add articles 'the' where needed. Use punctuation to separate ideas. 'Cement' vs 'concrete' — native phrasing uses 'concrete' for urban surfaces. Suggestion: include definite articles and restructure the sentence for clarity.
× Yes I do. I love taking photos and boost them to the social media for my friend to see them and I love to see their reaction like oh wow that's beautiful buddy.
✓ Yes, I do. I love taking photos and posting them on social media for my friends to see, and I love to see their reactions, like 'Oh wow, that's beautiful, buddy.'
'Boost them to the social media' is incorrect collocation; use 'post them on social media'. 'Friend' should be plural 'friends' if referring to multiple; 'reaction' should be plural 'reactions'. Punctuation and quotation for the reaction phrase improves readability. Suggestion: use common collocations ('post on social media') and match singular/plural nouns appropriately.
× Yes, and I really love it. Romantic culture. In a whole year in Vietnam, there are many special days for giving someone you love flowers. Yeah, that. That's very romantic. It's very.
✓ Yes, and I really love it. It is a romantic culture. Throughout the year in Vietnam, there are many special days for giving flowers to someone you love. Yes, that's very romantic.
Fragments like 'Romantic culture.' and 'It's very.' are incomplete; combine into full sentences. 'In a whole year in Vietnam' is unnatural; use 'Throughout the year'. Word order for 'giving someone you love flowers' is acceptable but 'giving flowers to someone you love' is clearer. Suggestion: avoid sentence fragments and use natural time expressions like 'throughout the year'.
