Puntuación: 62.0Sugerencia: Be more concise and correct grammar; start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details with linking words. Avoid repetition and filler words. Also correct verb forms and articles (e.g., “I travel,” “taking pictures,” “prefer the mountains to the sea”).
Ejemplo: I enjoy taking pictures of different views, especially when I travel with my family. For example, I prefer photographing mountains and forests because they make me feel peaceful and offer varied textures and colors, whereas beaches feel more crowded and less tranquil.
Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
Puntuación: 58.0Sugerencia: Provide a clear topic sentence and then two specific reasons linked with connectors like “because” or “so.” Remove hesitations and vague phrases. Use correct nouns and collocations (e.g., “the scenery in the countryside,” “cities feel stressful”).

Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Puntuación: 55.0Sugerencia: Begin with a direct answer (own country or other) then give specific examples and reasons, using linking words. Avoid trailing off and fill gaps with concrete details (e.g., what about European culture appeals to you). Use plural/ singular correctly (e.g., “some other countries in Europe”).
Ejemplo: I prefer views in other countries, especially in Europe, because I enjoy the historic architecture and diverse cultures. For example, when I visited Europe I admired the old towns, museums, and local food, which felt very different from the natural landscapes I see in Vietnam.
× Yes, I love traveling and whenever I travels with my family, I love taking picture and I prefer mountain than the sea.
✓ Yes, I love traveling and whenever I travel with my family, I love taking pictures and I prefer mountains to the sea.
The verb 'travels' is incorrect for subject 'I'; use base form 'travel' (third-person singular uses -s). 'Picture' should be plural 'pictures' when speaking generally. Use plural 'mountains' and the correct comparison structure is 'prefer X to Y', not 'prefer X than Y'. Suggestions: use 'I travel', 'taking pictures', 'prefer mountains to the sea'.
× Even the sea look more uh, look more attractive.
✓ Even the sea looks more attractive.
Subject 'the sea' is singular, so verb must be 'looks' (third-person singular). Redundant phrase 'look more uh, look more' should be reduced to a single verb. Suggestion: say 'the sea looks more attractive'.
× But umm, the forest and the mountain make me feel more peaceful and in my in my country, the nature.
✓ But the forest and the mountains make me feel more peaceful, and the nature in my country does too.
Original has repetition 'in my in my' and an incomplete clause 'the nature' that doesn't connect. Also use plural 'mountains' to match earlier. Added 'does too' to complete the idea. Suggestion: avoid repetition and finish clauses so meaning is clear.
× Rural area for sure.
✓ Rural areas for sure.
Use plural 'areas' after 'rural' when speaking generally. 'Rural area' could be correct with an article ('a rural area') but context requires general preference: 'rural areas'. Suggestion: use plural for general statements.
× Uh, I love the skin in, in the countryside and I love the scenes of trees and mountains.
✓ I love the sky in the countryside and I love the scenes of trees and mountains.
'Skin' is likely a mispronunciation or wrong word; 'sky' fits the context. Removed filler repetition. Suggestion: use the appropriate noun 'sky' for landscape descriptions.
× It's, it cannot fight in the, uh, urban area.
✓ It cannot compare to the urban area.
The phrase 'cannot fight in' is incorrect idiomatically. Use 'cannot compare to' to express that one thing is inferior to another. Also use 'the urban area' or 'urban areas' consistently. Suggestion: use 'cannot compare to' for comparisons.
× And whenever I look at, uh, a city, I feel it's not, it's, it's very stressful and I don't like it.
✓ And whenever I look at a city, I feel it is very stressful and I do not like it.
Remove fillers and contractions for clarity; 'it's not, it's, it's' is redundant. Use simple present 'I feel' and 'I do not like it' for habitual feelings. Suggestion: avoid unnecessary pauses and repeated words in speaking.
× My country Vietnam is a very beautiful country.
✓ My country, Vietnam, is very beautiful.
Repeating 'country' is redundant. Use commas with appositives: 'My country, Vietnam, ...' Also 'is very beautiful' is cleaner than 'is a very beautiful country'. Suggestion: use apposition and avoid repetition.
× I have experienced some other country like China, like Singapore or some other country in the Europe and I prefer the European uh, I love umm, I love the culture there and I also love the.
✓ I have visited some other countries like China and Singapore, and some countries in Europe. I prefer European countries; I love the culture there.
Use 'visited' or 'been to' instead of 'experienced' for travel. Use plural 'countries' and remove incorrect article 'the Europe' (should be 'Europe' without 'the'). 'Prefer the European' is incomplete; clarify as 'prefer European countries'. Also remove trailing unfinished phrase. Suggestion: use 'visited', plural forms, correct preposition/article with continent names, and complete sentences.
