Plants— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be direct and clear: start with a short topic sentence answering the question, then give 1–2 specific supporting details. Correct word choice and grammar (e.g., 'plants' not 'lunch', 'basil' not 'bacilli') and avoid repetition. Use a linking phrase when adding details.

Ví dụ: Yes, I do keep plants at home. I mainly grow herbs and vegetables, such as basil, coriander and tomatoes, because they are useful for cooking. In addition, they improve the air quality and make my kitchen look nicer.

Gợi ý: Provide a clear, grammatical answer that directly names a plant and adds one specific memory or reason. If you can’t remember, say so and then give a typical example from your childhood. Use a topic sentence and one supporting detail linked by a phrase like 'for example' or 'I remember'.

Ví dụ: When I was young, I grew sunflowers in our garden. For example, I remember planting the seeds with my mother and watching the tall yellow flowers bloom every summer.

Gợi ý: Answer the question directly and explain briefly what you know. Use 1–2 specific points about growing plants (soil, water, sunlight) and a linking word such as 'for example' or 'also'. Avoid vague or irrelevant replies.

Ví dụ: Yes, I know some basics about growing plants. For example, they need good soil, regular watering and enough sunlight, and different plants require different amounts of care.

Gợi ý: Give a direct answer, then support it with clear, specific reasons. Use correct vocabulary (e.g., 'plants' not 'plans') and combine short fragments into proper sentences using linking words like 'because' or 'also'. Avoid vague comparisons and grammatical fragments.

Ví dụ: Yes, many Chinese people give plants as gifts, especially for housewarming or festivals, because plants are long-lasting and represent growth. Also, they are seen as environmentally friendly and can brighten a home more than disposable gifts.

× Yes, I keep lunch at home.

✓ Yes, I keep plants at home.

The student used 'lunch' instead of 'plants', which is a wrong word choice. This is best treated as an article/word choice error; replacing with 'plants' matches the examiner's question and correct noun. Suggestion: listen to context and use a noun that fits the question.

× Plants are natural and they give us oxygen so I will keep planting home usually.

✓ Plants are natural and they give us oxygen, so I usually keep plants at home.

The original sentence has incorrect word order and a wrong preposition 'planting home'. Use 'keep ... at home' with the noun 'plants'. Also move adverb 'usually' before the verb phrase for natural word order in English. Suggestion: place adverbs like 'usually' before the main verb and use correct prepositions ('at home').

× Usually I keep the useful ones like bacilli, tomatoes, coriander.

✓ Usually I keep useful ones like basil, tomatoes, and coriander.

'Bacilli' is a plural form referring to bacteria and is incorrect in this context; the intended word is likely 'basil' (a plant). Also add 'and' in a list and remove the definite article 'the' when speaking generally. Suggestion: use correct plant names and standard list punctuation.

× What's stopping is.

✓ I stopped growing them./I didn't grow any./I don't remember growing any.

'What's stopping is' is ungrammatical and unclear. The examiner asked about past activities; use a clear past or negative sentence. Choose the variant that matches intended meaning: 'I stopped growing them' (past), 'I didn't grow any' (never), or 'I don't remember growing any' (uncertain). Suggestion: respond with a complete clause that directly answers the question.

× Yes, I know someone.

✓ Yes, I know something about growing plants.

'I know someone' implies knowing a person, not knowledge about growing plants. The question asked for knowledge; use 'I know something about growing plants' or 'Yes, I know how to grow plants.' Suggestion: match pronouns/nouns to the intended meaning (someone vs something/how to).

× Yes, Chinese people send plans as a gift because they prefer to grow the nature.

✓ Yes, Chinese people send plants as gifts because they prefer to grow nature.

'Plans' is a misspelling of 'plants'. Use plural 'plants' and pluralize 'gifts' when speaking generally. Also 'grow the nature' is incorrect collocation; 'grow nature' or better 'promote nature' or 'grow plants' is preferable. Suggestion: check spelling and use correct collocations: 'grow nature' is uncommon; say 'grow plants' or 'encourage nature.'

× Which helps to reduce the pollution as compared to gifts good and improved natural beauty.

✓ This helps reduce pollution compared to other gifts and improves natural beauty.

The original is a fragment starting with 'Which' and has incorrect word order and wrong adjective use ('gifts good'). Rewrite as a full sentence: 'This helps reduce pollution compared to other gifts and improves natural beauty.' Suggestion: avoid beginning sentences with 'Which' as a fragment; use complete clauses and standard comparative phrases like 'compared to other gifts.'
