Do you like taking pictures of different views?
Điểm: 68.0Gợi ý: Your answer is clear and relevant but has some issues: the adverb choice "extremely" with "enjoy" is slightly unnatural, the sentence is long and repetitive ("capture the moment" and "create memories" overlap), and there's no linking word or brief supporting detail. To improve, use a more natural adverb (e.g., "really"), keep it concise, and add one specific example of what you photograph. Limit to 2–3 short sentences.
Ví dụ: Yes, I really enjoy photography because it helps me capture special moments. For example, I often photograph sunsets and street scenes so I can remember the atmosphere and share them with my family.
Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
Điểm: 46.0Gợi ý: Your response is confusing and contains contradictions: you say you prefer urban areas but then praise nature, which suggests rural preference. Avoid contradictions, be direct in the topic sentence, then support it with clear reasons and a linking word. Use specific details about what you like in urban or rural views and keep sentences shorter.
Ví dụ: I prefer urban views because I enjoy the energy and architectural variety of cities. For example, I like photographing modern buildings and busy streets, where contrasts between old and new structures create interesting compositions.
Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Điểm: 52.0Gợi ý: The content is relevant and shows knowledge, but the answer is repetitive ("extremely beautiful" repeated three times), has grammar issues and awkward phrasing ("satisfy my likings"), and is longer than necessary. Start with a direct preference, then give one or two specific details about the landmarks, using varied vocabulary and correct grammar.
Ví dụ: I prefer views in my own country because Jordan has unique landscapes and ancient sites. For example, Petra’s carved facades and Wadi Rum’s vast sandstone valleys offer striking shapes and textures that are great to photograph.
× Yes, I extremely enjoy photography because it helps me capture the moment and create memories that I can look at in the future and show my kids.
✓ Yes, I enjoy photography extremely because it helps me capture the moment and create memories that I can look at in the future and show my kids.
The adverb 'extremely' is misplaced before the verb 'enjoy.' Adverbs of degree typically modify adjectives or other adverbs and when modifying verbs they usually follow auxiliary verbs or be placed after the main verb for clarity. Placing 'extremely' after 'enjoy' (or better, before an adjective: 'enjoy it extremely' or 'enjoy photography very much') makes the sentence sound more natural. Suggestion: use 'enjoy photography very much' or 'enjoy photography a lot' for clearer, idiomatic phrasing.
× I have always been fond of urban areas simply because I find nature so beautiful and extremely intriguing because of the different ways everything is structured.
✓ I have always been fond of urban areas, although I find nature very beautiful and intriguing because of the different ways everything is structured.
The original sentence uses 'because' twice, creating a confusing and repetitive conjunction structure. Using 'although' contrasts the preference for urban areas with an appreciation for nature, which fits the intended meaning. Also changed 'extremely intriguing' to 'very intriguing' for natural tone. Suggestion: avoid repeating 'because'; choose conjunctions that reflect contrast ('although', 'but') or cause ('because') appropriately.
× My home country Jordan has extremely beautiful landmarks that satisfy my likings such as the Petra and Wadi Rum with extremely beautiful which are extremely beautiful monuments and have a very unique structure and detail.
✓ My home country Jordan has extremely beautiful landmarks that I like, such as Petra and Wadi Rum; they are unique monuments with remarkable structures and details.
The original sentence is repetitive ('extremely beautiful' appears multiple times) and contains unclear phrases ('satisfy my likings', 'with extremely beautiful which are extremely beautiful monuments') causing sentence structure problems. I simplified and corrected idiomatic expressions: 'satisfy my likings' -> 'that I like' and removed redundancy. Also corrected 'the Petra' to 'Petra' (no definite article needed) and improved noun phrases for clarity. Suggestion: avoid repetition, use concise descriptions, and use idiomatic expressions like 'that I like' or 'that appeal to me'.
