× I am an individual that is obsessed with flowers.
✓ I am an individual who is obsessed with flowers.
Use who for people and that for things. Replace 'that' with 'who' when referring to a person.
× Anything that is related to flowers is umm, a topic that I would want to learn more about.
✓ Anything related to flowers is, umm, a topic I want to learn more about.
Omit the unnecessary preposition 'that is' and use 'related to' directly after 'Anything'. Also simplify 'would want to' to 'want to' for a natural present preference.
× I uh, all of my perfumes and scents are floral because they give me a sense of femininity and love.
✓ Uh, all of my perfumes and scents are floral because they give me a sense of femininity and love.
Place the filler 'uh' at the sentence start and remove the incorrect comma placement. The sentence needs a subject marker 'Uh' separated by comma, not 'I uh, all of my...'. Alternatively include 'I mean,' but the primary issue is sentence structure rather than grammar category; this correction improves clarity.
× My dearest friend whose name is Takwa is also obsessed with flowers.
✓ My dearest friend, whose name is Takwa, is also obsessed with flowers.
Nonrestrictive relative clause referring to additional information about 'my dearest friend' should be set off with commas.
× We both are really interested in this topic.
✓ We are both really interested in this topic.
Natural word order is 'We are both' rather than 'We both are'; this improves subject-verb agreement and fluency.
× We uh, used to gift each other flowers and receive from a loved ones and the special occasion.
✓ We used to give each other flowers and receive them from loved ones on special occasions.
'Used to give' is more natural than 'used to gift'; 'receive them' clarifies the object; 'a loved ones' is wrong—use 'loved ones' without article; 'the special occasion' should be plural general 'special occasions'.
× I wouldn't say there are a lot of flowers where I live because the area is quite dry and not suitable for flowers to grow and it's not ideal for gardening.
✓ I wouldn't say there are many flowers where I live because the area is quite dry and not suitable for growing flowers, so it's not ideal for gardening.
Use 'many' with plural 'flowers' for natural phrasing. Reorder to 'suitable for growing flowers' for clarity and avoid repeating 'flowers'. Combine clauses with 'so' for coherence.
× However, there are nearby mountains that grow amazing flowers that are brighten the landscape.
✓ However, there are nearby mountains where amazing flowers brighten the landscape.
'Mountains that grow flowers' is odd; use 'where' to indicate location and 'brighten' (present simple) instead of 'are brighten' which mixes auxiliary and base form incorrectly.
× I do take photos and videos of flowers but not on a daily basis.
✓ I take photos and videos of flowers, but not on a daily basis.
The auxiliary 'do' is unnecessary for affirmative statements in present simple. Remove it for natural speech.
× I do so if there are occasions and lovely flowers to take photos of and depending on the situation that I'm in, if it's suitable for me to take a photo or not.
✓ I do so when there are occasions and lovely flowers to photograph, depending on whether the situation is suitable for me to take a photo.
Use 'when' rather than 'if' for habitual situations, 'photograph' is more concise than 'to take photos of', and simplify the conditional 'depending on whether the situation is suitable' to avoid awkward repetition.
× Yes, people often send flowers to their loved ones in different occasions such as weddings, birthdays and other occasions.
✓ Yes, people often send flowers to their loved ones on different occasions such as weddings, birthdays and other celebrations.
Use 'on' with 'occasions' not 'in'; avoid repeating 'occasions' by using 'celebrations'.
× It is common way.
✓ It is a common way.
Missing article 'a' before 'common way'.
× It is a common way to show affection and love to the people that we love and I think that flower conveys emotions more than other material.
✓ It is a common way to show affection to the people we love, and I think that flowers convey emotions more than other material things.
Remove redundant 'and love' after 'affection'; use 'people we love' without 'that'; 'flower' should be plural 'flowers' to match general meaning; add 'things' after 'material' to form the noun phrase 'material things'.
