Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
Thí sinh
I don't have a strong preference because I enjoy different things about each. Like in the countryside I love photographing mountains at sunrise because the quiet light puts me at peace and creates long lasting memories. Whereas in cities I enjoy shooting lively streets and interesting architecture for the energy and photographic opportunities.

Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Thí sinh
Well, I enjoy music in my own country because they feel familiar and often feature landscapes or landmarks I grew up with. But I also love exploring scenes abroad since different countries have unique architectural styles and cultural atmospheres, so I don't have a strong preference. I appreciate both for different reasons.

Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
Điểm: 85.0Gợi ý: Good structure and specific details. Improve cohesion by using clearer linking phrases and correct minor style issues (avoid starting a sentence with 'Like' informally; use 'For example' or 'In the countryside,'). Keep it to three sentences max and refine word choice (e.g., 'long-lasting').

Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Điểm: 68.0Gợi ý: There is a content error ('music' instead of 'views') and some awkward phrasing. Start with a clear topic sentence addressing preference, correct the vocabulary mistake, and give two concrete reasons with a linking word. Keep it concise and natural.

× Is absolutely.
✓ It is absolutely.
The sentence is missing the subject 'It' before the verb 'is'. In English, clauses require an explicit subject; starting with 'Is' without a subject creates an incomplete sentence. Use 'It is absolutely' or better: 'Absolutely' or 'Yes, absolutely.' to sound natural.
× I enjoy music in my own country because they feel familiar and often feature landscapes or landmarks I grew up with.
✓ I enjoy music in my own country because it feels familiar and often features landscapes or landmarks I grew up with.
The plural pronoun 'they' does not agree with the singular noun 'music'. Use the singular pronoun 'it' to refer to 'music' and change the verb 'feature' to 'features' for subject-verb agreement. Alternatively, rephrase to 'songs in my country' and use 'they' if plural is intended.
