Do you like taking pictures of different views?
Điểm: 28.0Gợi ý: Your answer is short, unclear and contains grammatical errors. Give a direct, natural topic sentence and then one or two brief supporting details using linking words. Keep it under five sentences. For example, say whether you enjoy photography and explain why or what you focus on (subject, purpose, or feeling).
Ví dụ: Yes, I enjoy taking pictures of different views. I especially like capturing landscapes because they show the changing light and atmosphere, and I often try to include a human element to give the scene scale.
Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
Điểm: 10.0Gợi ý: Respond directly even if unsure: choose one option and give a reason. Use a topic sentence stating your preference, then add one supporting detail with a linking word (because, since, or for example). Avoid one-word answers.
Ví dụ: I prefer rural views because they feel more peaceful and offer natural subjects like fields and mountains. For example, I enjoy photographing golden-hour light over rice paddies since it creates warm colors and interesting textures.
Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Điểm: 40.0Gợi ý: Your reply is very brief. Expand with a short reason and a specific detail to show depth. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one supporting sentence using a linking word (for example, because or since) and a specific example of what you like abroad.
Ví dụ: I prefer views in other countries because they offer different architecture and cultural scenes. For instance, I love photographing narrow European streets with colorful buildings, since their patterns and details are quite different from those at home.
× I like taking the pictures about.
✓ I like taking pictures of different views.
The preposition 'about' is incorrect after 'taking pictures'. Use 'of' to indicate what the pictures show. Also 'the pictures' is unnecessarily specific; in context 'taking pictures of different views' matches the examiner's question and sounds natural. Suggestion: use 'take pictures of' + object.
× Other countries.
✓ I prefer views in other countries.
The original response is a fragment lacking a verb and full sentence structure. The examiner asked about preference, so include the verb 'prefer' and the noun phrase 'views in other countries' to form a complete sentence. Suggestion: answer in full: 'I prefer views in other countries.' or 'I prefer those in other countries.'
