Examiner
Do you like taking pictures of different views?
Candidate
Yes, I really like taking lots of pictures of different views because I think it's a great way to record life. And when later you look back all those pictures, it really can break, bring back all the memories.
Examiner
Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
Candidate
I definitely like the views in countryside because they just give me the feeling of tranquillity and calm. I can relax myself much better in rustic areas than city because I enjoy quiet environment being close with nature.
Examiner
Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Candidate
I love both, it's very hard for me to see which one I like better. I really like the Tibetan area in China. It's just so beautiful and and amazing. You can see slow mountains and beautiful lakes. However the views in a low way or in Switzerland are amazing.
Do you like taking pictures of different views?
Score: 74.0Suggestion: Your answer is natural and communicates your idea, but it has minor grammatical errors and redundancy. Keep your response within 3–4 concise sentences, correct collocations (e.g., “bring back memories”), and avoid filler words. Add one specific example to make it more vivid.
Example: Yes, I enjoy taking photos of different views because they help me record important moments. For example, I photographed a lakeside sunset last summer and every time I look at it I remember that peaceful evening with my family.
Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: Good clear preference and reasons, but watch grammar (use articles: “the countryside,” “the city”) and tighten sentences. Use linking words (for example, “because” already used—add “so” or “therefore”) and include a brief concrete detail or comparison.
Example: I prefer views in the countryside because they make me feel calm and relaxed. For example, walking among green fields and listening to birds is far more peaceful than the constant noise and traffic you find in the city.
Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: The answer shows enthusiasm but is unclear and contains several language errors and some unintelligible phrases (e.g., “slow mountains,” “a low way”). Organize your response: state your overall opinion, give two clear examples (one domestic, one international), and use precise vocabulary. Correct sentence fragments and repetition.
Example: I enjoy views both at home and abroad, so I can't choose one over the other. For example, in Tibet I love the dramatic high mountains and crystal-clear lakes, while in Switzerland I admire the neat green valleys and picturesque villages—both offer very different but beautiful scenery.
× And when later you look back all those pictures, it really can break, bring back all the memories.
✓ And when you look back at all those pictures later, they can really bring back all the memories.
The original sentence misuses verb forms and word order. 'Look back' requires the preposition 'at' to mark the object. 'Later' is better placed after the verb phrase for natural word order. 'It really can break, bring back' incorrectly uses singular 'it' and a misplaced verb phrase; use plural 'they' to agree with 'pictures' and the single verb phrase 'can really bring back'. Suggestion: reorder to 'look back at all those pictures later' and use 'they can really bring back' for subject-verb agreement and correct participle usage. Grammar problem type ID: 10
× I definitely like the views in countryside because they just give me the feeling of tranquillity and calm.
✓ I definitely like the views in the countryside because they give me a feeling of tranquillity and calm.
The noun 'countryside' needs the definite article 'the' when referring to the general rural area. Also, 'the feeling of' is wordy; 'a feeling of' or 'the feeling of' both work, but 'a feeling' is more natural here. Suggestion: include 'the' before 'countryside' and use 'a feeling' for smoother phrasing. Grammar problem type ID: 11
× I can relax myself much better in rustic areas than city because I enjoy quiet environment being close with nature.
✓ I can relax much better in rural areas than in the city because I enjoy a quiet environment and being close to nature.
Do not use the reflexive pronoun 'myself' with 'relax' in this transitive sense; 'relax' is intransitive here. 'Rustic areas' is acceptable but 'rural areas' is more natural. Compare two items using 'in the city' with the article. 'Quiet environment' needs an article: 'a quiet environment'. 'Being close with nature' is incorrect preposition use; use 'close to nature'. Suggestion: remove 'myself', add articles, and change prepositions. Grammar problem type ID: 12
× I love both, it's very hard for me to see which one I like better.
✓ I love both; it's very hard for me to say which one I prefer.
The verb 'see' is awkward in this context; 'say' or 'decide' is more appropriate. Also use 'prefer' instead of 'like better' for a cleaner comparative verb. The comma splice should be fixed by replacing the comma with a semicolon or conjunction. Suggestion: use 'it's very hard for me to say which one I prefer.' Grammar problem type ID: 13
× I really like the Tibetan area in China.
✓ I really like the Tibetan areas in China.
Singular 'area' is acceptable but 'Tibet' and its regions are usually referred to in plural or as 'Tibet' itself. If the speaker means the region, 'Tibet' or 'Tibetan area' can be used; however, 'Tibetan areas' or 'the Tibetan region in China' is more natural. Suggestion: use 'the Tibetan region in China' or 'Tibet' to avoid awkward singular count noun usage. Grammar problem type ID: 26
× It's just so beautiful and and amazing.
✓ It's just so beautiful and amazing.
There is a duplicated 'and' which is a simple typing/repetition error. Remove the extra 'and'. Suggestion: proofread to eliminate repeated words. Grammar problem type ID: 13
× You can see slow mountains and beautiful lakes.
✓ You can see soaring mountains and beautiful lakes.
The adjective 'slow' does not correctly describe mountains. Likely intended meanings are 'tall', 'soaring', or 'majestic'. Choose an appropriate descriptive adjective. Suggestion: replace 'slow' with 'soaring', 'tall', or 'majestic' depending on intended meaning. Grammar problem type ID: 13
× However the views in a low way or in Switzerland are amazing.
✓ However, the views in Norway or in Switzerland are amazing.
The phrase 'a low way' is ungrammatical and likely a mispronunciation or typo of 'Norway'. Add a comma after 'However'. Ensure country names are capitalized. Suggestion: correct the country name to 'Norway' and add the comma: 'However, the views in Norway or in Switzerland are amazing.' Grammar problem type ID: 26
