Do you like taking pictures of different views?
Candidate
Yes, I absolutely love taking pictures of different views, especially when I'm traveling. There is something incredibly calming about capturing a beautiful landscape of the city and skyline at sunset. I wouldn't say I'm professional photographer, but I do enjoy experimenting with angles and lighting to make the photo more atmospheric. For me, it's not just about the picture itself, it's.
Examiner
Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
Candidate
I'd say I'm more drawn to rural air views. There is something incredibly peaceful about open landscapes, rolling hills or even simple fields at sunset. In the countryside, everything feels slower and less overwhelming, which helps me switch off and recharge.
Examiner
Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Candidate
That's an interesting question. I think I appreciate views in other countries slightly more simply because they feel new and unfamiliar. When you travel abroad, everything tends to seem more exciting. Even ordinary landscapes can appear exotic because they are so different from what you used to have.

Score: 78.0Suggestion: Порада: Стежте за повнотою висловлювань і уникайте обривів речень; також використовуйте різноманітні зв'язки для логічності. Конкретніше опишіть приклад з досвіду (де, коли, який ракурс ви обирали) і замініть загальні фрази конкретними деталями. Обмежте відповідь до максимум 4–5 речень, починаючи з чіткої теми-репліки, потім додайте 1–2 деталізовані підтримувальні речення з переходами (for example, because, which helps).
Example: Yes, I love photographing different views, especially while traveling. For example, last summer I captured a city skyline at sunset from a rooftop, focusing on the contrast between warm sky tones and glass buildings to create atmosphere. I often experiment with low angles and backlighting because they make ordinary scenes look dramatic, which I find calming and rewarding.
Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
Score: 85.0Suggestion: Порада: Ваша відповідь загалом природна і зрозуміла, але варто виправити невелику помилку лексики («rural air views» → «rural views») та додати одну конкретну деталь або порівняння, щоб підсилити аргумент. Використовуйте зв'язки (for instance, because) для кращої логіки і збережіть 3–4 речення загалом.
Example: I prefer rural views to urban ones because open landscapes and rolling hills feel much calmer. For instance, watching fields at sunset helps me relax more than busy city streets, as the quiet and wide horizons let me recharge. This slower pace makes nature my favorite subject to photograph.
Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Score: 82.0Suggestion: Порада: Відповідь логічна, але можна зробити її конкретнішою, додавши приклад місця або ефекту, а також уникати повторів (new and unfamiliar / so different). Додайте причину з конкретним прикладом і використайте зв'язку (for example, therefore) для природності. Тримайте 3–4 речення і починайте з чіткого твердження.
Example: I usually prefer views in other countries because unfamiliar scenes feel more exciting. For example, I visited a coastal village in Portugal where even simple fishing boats and cliffs looked exotic compared to landscapes at home, so I found myself more eager to take photos. This novelty often makes travel photography more inspiring for me.

The sentence is missing the indefinite article 'a' before the singular countable noun 'professional photographer' (Article errors - ID 22). Also 'the photo' is better as plural 'the photos' or 'a photo' to match general meaning. Suggestion: add 'a' before 'professional photographer' and use 'photos' or 'a photo' depending on intended meaning. Ensure articles are used before singular countable nouns. ID:22
× For me, it's not just about the picture itself, it's.
✓ For me, it's not just about the picture itself; it's about the feeling it gives me.
The original sentence ends abruptly and lacks a complete clause after the second 'it's', causing a sentence structure error (Sentence structure errors - ID 26). To complete the thought, add a clause specifying what 'it' refers to, e.g., 'it's about the feeling it gives me.' Suggestion: always ensure each clause is complete and conveys a clear idea. ID:26
× I'd say I'm more drawn to rural air views.
✓ I'd say I'm more drawn to rural views.
The phrase 'rural air views' is incorrect; likely 'rural' should directly modify 'views' without 'air' (Incorrect use of prepositions/word choice - ID 11). 'Air' is unnecessary and creates an ungrammatical noun phrase. Suggestion: remove the extraneous word and use 'rural views' or 'views of the countryside.' ID:11
× Even ordinary landscapes can appear exotic because they are so different from what you used to have.
✓ Even ordinary landscapes can appear exotic because they are so different from what you are used to.
The phrase 'used to have' is incorrect here. The correct expression is 'used to' with a state: 'what you are used to' meaning 'what you are accustomed to' (Present tense/state issue - ID 6). Using 'have' changes meaning and is unidiomatic. Suggestion: use 'what you are used to' to express familiarity with previous surroundings. ID:6
× There is something incredibly calming about capturing a beautiful landscape of the city and skyline at sunset.
✓ There is something incredibly calming about capturing a beautiful cityscape and skyline at sunset.
The phrase 'a beautiful landscape of the city and skyline' is awkward; 'cityscape' better captures an urban view. Also article use is acceptable but rephrasing improves clarity (Article/word choice - ID 22). Suggestion: use 'cityscape' or 'landscape' with appropriate prepositions: e.g., 'a beautiful landscape of the city and its skyline' if keeping original words. ID:22
