Examiner
Do you like taking pictures of different views?
Candidate
I do. I'm a big fan of taking photos, so every time when I'm in the nature, especially when I'm going for a hike, I usually take a picture of the mountains and the trees around me.
Examiner
Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
Candidate
Definitely rural areas as I grew up in the countryside and that give me the home vibe. It's like I went back to my own childhood again.
Examiner
Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Candidate
I would say in other countries it allows me to experience different things as I like traveling and I have been to a few countries, for example in Australia, in Italy and I love taking a photo of the nature and the view.
Do you like taking pictures of different views?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: Your answer is natural and relevant, but slightly wordy and has minor grammatical issues. Make the response more concise, correct small errors (e.g., "in nature" not "in the nature"), and add one brief specific detail or feeling to enrich the answer. Keep it within 2–4 sentences and use a linking word if adding detail.
Example: Yes, I love taking pictures of different views. When I go hiking in nature, I usually photograph mountains and forests because I enjoy capturing dramatic light and wide landscapes.
Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
Score: 80.0Suggestion: Good clarity and personal connection, but correct grammar ("that gives me a homey vibe" or "which gives me a sense of home") and avoid repetition. Add one concrete sensory detail to make the answer more vivid and specific.
Example: I prefer rural views because I grew up in the countryside, which gives me a strong sense of home. I especially like the sight of rolling fields and the smell of fresh grass — it always reminds me of childhood.
Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Score: 75.0Suggestion: The answer is clear but a bit long and slightly unstructured. Improve grammar ("they allow me" or "it allows me" with clearer subject), use linking words to connect ideas, and give one specific example of a memorable view from another country to support your preference.
Example: I prefer views in other countries because traveling lets me see different landscapes and cultures. For example, in Italy I loved photographing coastal cliffs and colorful villages, which felt very different from the landscapes at home.
× I do. I'm a big fan of taking photos, so every time when I'm in the nature, especially when I'm going for a hike, I usually take a picture of the mountains and the trees around me.
✓ I do. I'm a big fan of taking photos, so whenever I'm in nature, especially when I go for a hike, I usually take pictures of the mountains and the trees around me.
Problems: 'every time when' is awkward; use 'whenever'. 'in the nature' is incorrect article usage; say 'in nature'. 'when I'm going for a hike' mixes continuous with habitual action; use simple present 'when I go for a hike'. Also 'take a picture' is singular but context implies plural habitual action, so 'take pictures' is more natural. Suggestions: use 'whenever' for repeated occasions, drop 'the' before 'nature', use simple present for habitual actions, and use plural 'pictures' for repeated actions.
× Definitely rural areas as I grew up in the countryside and that give me the home vibe.
✓ Definitely rural areas, as I grew up in the countryside and that gives me a homely vibe.
Problems: Missing comma after introductory element and subject-verb agreement: 'that give' should be 'that gives' because 'that' refers to the singular idea of 'rural areas giving a vibe' or the feeling, treated as singular. 'home vibe' is informal and slightly odd; 'homely vibe' or 'a feeling of home' is better. Suggestions: add a comma, use 'gives' for correct agreement, and prefer 'homely vibe' or 'a feeling of home'.
× It's like I went back to my own childhood again.
✓ It's like I went back to my childhood again.
Problem: 'my own childhood' is not wrong grammatically, but 'my childhood' is more natural and concise. Suggestion: Simplify wording to sound more natural. Note: tense 'went' (simple past) is acceptable here because speaking about a past feeling; keep tense consistent with previous clause.
× I would say in other countries it allows me to experience different things as I like traveling and I have been to a few countries, for example in Australia, in Italy and I love taking a photo of the nature and the view.
✓ I'd say views in other countries allow me to experience different things, as I like traveling and have been to a few countries, for example Australia and Italy, and I love taking photos of nature and scenery.
Problems: Sentence is long and has tense/number and article issues. 'I would say in other countries it allows me' has subject-verb mismatch and awkward order: 'views in other countries allow me' matches plural subject and present tense. 'I like traveling and I have been' redundancy: 'have been' fine but remove extra 'I'. 'for example in Australia, in Italy' better as 'for example Australia and Italy'. 'taking a photo of the nature and the view' has article misuse: drop 'the' before 'nature', use plural 'photos' and use 'scenery' instead of 'the view' for naturalness. Suggestions: Break into clearer clauses, match subject and verb number, remove unnecessary articles, and use plural when referring to habitual actions.
