Flowers— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Your answer is clear and enthusiastic, but a bit repetitive (“I love flowers” repeated) and slightly long. Begin with a concise topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using a linking phrase (for example, “because” or “especially”) and avoid repeating the same idea. Keep it within 2–3 sentences.

Ví dụ: Yes, I do. I especially love garden flowers because of their bright colors and delicate scent, and they always make a birthday gift feel more personal.

Gợi ý: Your response answers the question but is general and contains minor errors (‘‘small girl’’ and repetition of ‘‘they love’’). Use a clear topic sentence, then give a specific example or brief explanation using a linking word like “for example” or “because.” Avoid repeating the same phrase.

Ví dụ: Yes, many people I know like flowers; for example, my neighbour always keeps fresh roses because she enjoys their fragrance and vibrant colors.

Gợi ý: Good structure: you answer directly and give a reason. Improve by making sentences shorter and more natural, and use a linking word like “because” or “so” once. Remove redundancy (‘‘area’’ and ‘‘part of the town’’ repeated).

Ví dụ: Not many. I live in a mostly urban part of town, so there are few green spaces, and I don’t see flowers every day.

Gợi ý: The answer communicates the idea but is filled with hesitations and repetition which lowers fluency. Practice speaking more smoothly: remove fillers (uh, umm), combine ideas into two concise sentences, and use a linking phrase like “except when” to present the exception.

Ví dụ: Not usually — I rarely see flowers outside. The only time I take photos is when my boyfriend gives me a bouquet.

Gợi ý: Good content and a specific cultural example. Improve by tightening the sentence and avoiding unnecessary filler (‘‘Well’’). Use a clearer subject (‘‘people’’ or ‘‘men’’) and keep it to one or two sentences.

Ví dụ: Yes, it’s common to give women flowers, especially on March 8th for International Women’s Day.

× Whether they are small girl or a grown up man, everyone loves them.

✓ Whether they are a small girl or a grown-up man, everyone loves flowers.

The phrase 'small girl' and 'grown up man' need articles and proper hyphenation: 'a small girl' and 'a grown-up man'. Also 'everyone loves them' uses vague pronoun 'them' referring to people; replace with 'everyone loves flowers' for clarity. Use 'grown-up' as a compound adjective before a noun. Suggestion: add the indefinite article before singular count nouns and use hyphens for compound adjectives.

× They love the colors of the flowers, they love their scent.

✓ They love the colors of the flowers and their scent.

This sentence repeats the subject and uses a comma splice. Combine clauses with 'and' and keep the pronoun 'their' to refer to 'the flowers'. Avoid redundant repetition of the subject. Suggestion: join related ideas with a conjunction or use a semicolon.

× Sadly there are not many flowers in my area because I live in a town and the part of the town where I live in is mostly urban areas so I don't see flowers every day but I wish I did.

✓ Sadly there are not many flowers in my area because I live in a town and the part of the town where I live is mostly urban, so I don't see flowers every day, but I wish I did.

Redundant 'in' in 'where I live in' should be removed: use 'where I live'. 'Mostly urban areas' mismatches singular context; 'mostly urban' or 'mostly urban areas' should be consistent. Also the sentence is a run-on; add commas to separate clauses. Suggestion: remove redundant preposition and break long sentences for clarity.

× Do you take photos of flowers in your daily life?

✓ Do you take photos of flowers in your daily life?

This question is grammatically acceptable; no correction needed. It correctly uses 'take photos' (bare infinitive) after 'do'. Suggestion: optionally say 'in your daily life' as 'in your daily routine' for variety.

× Well, I don't see many flowers in my daily life. I mostly see them, uh, in umm, flower shops and boutiques, uh, and I don't uh, take pictures, uh, of uh, flowers, uh, but the, the only time I take pictures of a bouquet of flowers is uh, whenever my boyfriend, uh, gives a bouquet to me.

✓ Well, I don't see many flowers in my daily life. I mostly see them in flower shops and boutiques, and I don't usually take pictures of flowers, but the only time I take photos of a bouquet is when my boyfriend gives me one.

The original has filled pauses ('uh', 'umm') and awkward repetition ('gives a bouquet to me'). Remove disfluencies and streamline wording. Use 'usually' to indicate frequency and 'when my boyfriend gives me one' is more natural than 'whenever my boyfriend gives a bouquet to me.' Also replace 'pictures of a bouquet of flowers' with 'photos of a bouquet' for concision. Suggestion: eliminate filler words, avoid repetition, and use natural word order 'gives me one'.

× Well, in my country it is a common practice to give the women flowers, especially on the 8th of March which is the International Women's Day.

✓ Well, in my country it is common practice to give women flowers, especially on March 8, which is International Women's Day.

Use 'it is common practice' not 'a common practice' in this context (both acceptable but 'common practice' is idiomatic). Remove the definite article before 'women'—we say 'give women flowers' not 'the women' unless specifying a group. Date format 'March 8' is more natural in English; omit 'the' before 'International Women's Day'. Suggestion: drop unnecessary articles and use idiomatic date and holiday phrasing.
