Do you like taking pictures of different views?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: Improve fluency and clarity by avoiding repetitions and filler words; use one clear topic sentence and one or two supporting details with linking words. Correct small grammar errors (e.g., "I that doesn't hurt me" → "that doesn't stop me"). Keep answer within 3–4 sentences.
Example: Yes, I enjoy photographing natural scenes, especially sunsets because of the rich orange and pink hues in the sky. However, I usually balance looking with taking photos, because sometimes I prefer to enjoy the moment without my phone. When I do take pictures, I try to capture the colors and composition so I can remember the scene later.
Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: Provide a clear direct answer first, then add specific reasons using linking words. Avoid vague phrases and repetition (e.g., "full of nature, full of scenes"). Expand with one concrete example or sensory detail to make the response more specific.
Example: I prefer rural areas because they offer unspoiled natural landscapes and quieter atmospheres. For instance, rolling fields and forests often have diverse wildlife and open space, which I find more peaceful than crowded city streets. Therefore, I usually choose the countryside for photography and relaxation.
Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: Answer directly and correct grammar (singular/plural and articles) and avoid repetition. Use linking words to contrast preferences and give a specific reason or example. Keep it concise (2–3 sentences) and include one concrete detail about what you like about foreign green spaces.
Example: I prefer views in other countries when they have abundant green spaces and wildlife because I enjoy exploring different natural habitats. Nevertheless, I also appreciate historic sites in my own country and visit them occasionally. Overall, I find foreign parks and forests more calming and exciting due to their unique flora and fauna.
× It's it's just mesmerizing to watch.
✓ It's just mesmerizing to watch.
The sentence contains a repeated word 'it's it's' which is not a grammatical category from the list but is a duplication error; removing the extra 'it's' yields a grammatically correct present simple construction describing a general fact. Suggestion: read sentences aloud to catch accidental repetitions.
× However, I like to see the scenes through my eyes, but I that doesn't hurt me from picking up my phone.
✓ However, I like to see the scenes with my own eyes, and that doesn't stop me from picking up my phone.
Original has incorrect conjunction sequence and an extraneous word 'that'. The conjunctions 'however' and 'but' together create redundancy and confusion. Also 'hurt me from' is incorrect collocation. Use 'and' to add information, and 'stop me from' is correct. Suggestion: avoid stacking contrasting connectors and use correct verb+preposition collocations.
× I do prefer views of another countries that has a lot of green spaces and wildlife.
✓ I do prefer views of other countries that have a lot of green spaces and wildlife.
'Another countries' mixes singular 'another' with plural 'countries'; use 'other countries' for plural. Also verb must agree with plural subject: 'have' not 'has'. Suggestion: match determiners with noun number and ensure verb agrees with subject.
× However, my countries contains a lot of historic sites that I would like that that I love to visit from time to time.
✓ However, my country contains a lot of historic sites that I love to visit from time to time.
'My countries' is incorrect if referring to a single country; use 'my country'. There is also a duplicated phrase 'that that I love' and unnecessary modal 'would like' combined awkwardly. Use simple present 'I love to visit' to express habitual action. Suggestion: remove duplicated words and choose consistent pronouns and tense.
× But personally I prefer rural areas because it's full of nature, full of scenes that only nature can make.
✓ But personally I prefer rural areas because they are full of nature, full of scenes that only nature can create.
'It's' (it is) incorrectly refers to plural 'rural areas'; use 'they are'. Also 'make' is less natural with 'scenes' than 'create'. Suggestion: ensure pronoun number matches the noun and choose appropriate verb collocations.
