Do you like taking pictures of different views?
Pontuação: 58.0Sugestão: Be concise, correct grammar, and organize ideas with a clear topic sentence and specific details. Reduce repetition (e.g., avoid saying ‘take a night view’ twice), correct verb forms and articles, and use linking words to connect ideas (e.g., “also,” “for example”). Keep answers within 3–4 sentences.
Exemplo: Yes, I enjoy photographing different views. I especially like going up to skyscrapers to capture night cityscapes because the lights create dramatic contrasts. I also enjoy taking photos and videos of marine animals at aquariums, for example sea turtles and colorful fish, which let me practice close-up shots.
Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
Pontuação: 55.0Sugestão: Provide a direct topic sentence and give specific reasons with clear linking words. Fix sentence fragments and vocabulary misuse (e.g., “agriculture” is not appropriate here; use “architecture” or “urban scenes”). Aim for two to three supporting details and a brief conclusion.
Exemplo: I prefer photographing urban areas because they offer a variety of interesting subjects. For example, city streets, modern and historical architecture, and lively cultural scenes provide diverse photo opportunities. Moreover, the changing lights and reflections at night make city photography especially rewarding.
Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Pontuação: 52.0Sugestão: Answer directly and complete your explanation—avoid trailing off. Use specific details about why you prefer your country and give a linking phrase to add a second reason. Correct phrasing: “I prefer views in my own country” or “I prefer to view my own country.” Keep it to 2–3 sentences and finish your point.
Exemplo: I prefer views in my own country, especially Tokyo, because the city blends modern skyscrapers with well-organized streets and efficient public spaces. Also, familiar places allow me to notice subtle changes and capture scenes that reflect local culture and everyday life.
× Yes taking picture is one of my hobby as well.
✓ Yes, taking pictures is one of my hobbies as well.
The noun 'picture' must be plural 'pictures' because it refers to the activity in general; 'hobby' must be plural 'hobbies' after 'one of' which requires a plural noun. Also add a comma after 'Yes' for clarity.
× I tend to go to go up to skyscrapers and take a night view that take the photo of night view and also I keen on taking pictures and videos of umm marine animal in aquarium.
✓ I tend to go up skyscrapers to take night views and photos, and I am also keen on taking pictures and videos of marine animals in aquariums.
Multiple issues: remove redundant 'to go', use 'go up skyscrapers' or 'go to the top of skyscrapers'; 'take a night view' is incorrect — use 'take night views' or 'take photos of the night view'; 'take the photo of night view' is ungrammatical and redundant so simplify to 'photos'; 'keen on' needs a form 'am keen on' with verb 'am' as auxiliary; 'marine animal' should be plural 'marine animals'; 'aquarium' should be plural 'aquariums' or 'the aquarium' depending on meaning. Use gerund forms consistently and correct article usage.
× I rather prefer taking photographs in urban areas because.
✓ I would rather prefer taking photographs in urban areas because...
The original ends abruptly and 'rather' typically pairs with 'would' in this construction: 'I would rather prefer' (though 'prefer' alone is sufficient: 'I prefer'). Also the sentence should continue with the reason. If keeping concise: 'I prefer taking photographs in urban areas because there are more interesting buildings and cultural scenes.'
× In the city area, definitely there are more fascinating agriculture or more fascinating buildings and culture.
✓ In the city area, there are definitely more fascinating buildings and cultural attractions than in rural areas.
'Fascinating agriculture' is awkward—agriculture is typically associated with rural areas; 'fascinating buildings and culture' needs clearer noun phrases such as 'buildings and cultural attractions'. Place the adverb 'definitely' before the verb or after the subject for natural order. Also add a comparison 'than in rural areas' if contrasting.
× I'd rather prefer to view in my country, uh, which is Tokyo.
✓ I'd rather view my country, which is Tokyo.
The verb 'view' is not normally used with 'in' for preferring to see a country; better verbs are 'see' or 'view' without 'in'. Also 'prefer to view my country' is unnatural—better: 'I'd rather view places in my country' or 'I prefer seeing views in my own country.' Remove unnecessary 'to' after 'prefer' when using 'would rather' structure.
× Tokyo is known as a very busy city and the one thing I really love is the well organized architecture because it.
✓ Tokyo is known as a very busy city, and one thing I really love is its well-organized architecture.
The clause 'because it' at the end is incomplete and should be removed. Use possessive 'its' to link architecture to Tokyo. 'Well organized' should be hyphenated as 'well-organized' when used as a compound adjective before a noun. Also join the clauses with a comma and conjunction for correct sentence structure.
