Điểm: 72.0Gợi ý: Your answer is generally relevant and shows enthusiasm, but it has hesitation sounds ("uh","umm"), some repetition, and slightly long phrasing. To improve, reduce filler words, use one clear topic sentence, add one or two specific supporting details with linking words, and keep it within 3–4 sentences. Also vary vocabulary (e.g., "landscapes", "scenic spots").
Ví dụ: I enjoy taking landscape photos, especially at sunrise and sunset. When I hike with friends, I often photograph hills and forests because the light and colors there are especially dramatic. For example, last month I captured a vivid sunrise over a misty valley, which made a great memory.
Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: The meaning is clear but pronunciation errors and hesitations ("fuse" instead of "views", repeated words) affect clarity. Improve by correcting pronunciation, avoiding repetition, and using linking words to explain reasons. Keep it concise: one topic sentence + one supporting sentence with a reason and example.
Ví dụ: I prefer urban views because the skyline and city lights are very striking at night. For instance, I like going to rooftops to photograph illuminated skyscrapers and busy streets, which create interesting contrasts and reflections.
Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Điểm: 58.0Gợi ý: Answer communicates a reason but contains pronunciation issues ("fuse"), hesitations, repetition, and an incomplete final phrase. To improve, state your preference clearly, give a concise reason, and finish the sentence correctly. If you haven't traveled abroad, mention curiosity about other countries to add depth. Use linking words like "because" and "however."
Ví dụ: I prefer views in my own country because I grew up here and feel familiar with its landscapes. However, I am curious about scenery abroad and hope to travel someday to compare different natural and urban views.
× Yes, I love taking pictures of different views, mostly for the sunset, sunrise, uh, when I go out with my friends, I like taking photos of the environment most.
✓ Yes, I love taking pictures of different views, mostly of the sunset and sunrise. When I go out with my friends, I like taking photos of the surroundings most.
The original has awkward preposition use and run-on structure. 'For the sunset, sunrise' is incorrect; use 'of the sunset and sunrise' to show what the pictures depict. Also split the sentence into two to avoid a run-on and change 'environment' to 'surroundings' for natural collocation. Suggestions: use 'of' with events or scenes you photograph and separate independent clauses into sentences.
× Umm, I like hiking, so most of the time when I go for hike I'll take photos of the hills, photos of the forest.
✓ I like hiking, so most of the time when I go for a hike I'll take photos of the hills and the forest.
Missing article 'a' before 'hike' is needed; 'photos of the hills, photos of the forest' is repetitive; combine with 'and the' for fluency. Ensure noun phrases are parallel and include necessary articles. Suggestions: use 'go for a hike' and link similar items with 'and'.
× I prefer fuse for urban areas simply because, uh, urban areas have tall buildings, good roads.
✓ I prefer urban areas simply because they have tall buildings and good roads.
The word 'fuse' is incorrect and likely a mispronunciation; replace with 'urban areas' or 'them'. Also avoid repetition by using 'they' to refer to urban areas. This is a word choice and pronoun clarity issue; categorized under incorrect use of adjectives/adverbs for lack of a better fit in the provided list. Suggestions: use clear referents like 'they' and avoid filler words.
× So during the night, night, uh, I like going to the rooftop to see the, to see the surrounding.
✓ So at night I like going to the rooftop to see the surroundings.
Redundant repetition 'night, night' and filler 'uh' should be removed. Use 'at night' rather than 'during the night' for natural speech; 'surrounding' should be plural 'surroundings'. This is a sentence structure and word-form issue. Suggestions: remove repetitions and fillers, use correct preposition 'at night' and plural 'surroundings'.
× I prefer fuse in my country because, uh, I've been, I've been brought up in this country.
✓ I prefer places in my country because I was brought up here.
Repeated 'I've been, I've been' is redundant. 'Brought up' is correct as past participle in passive but pair with appropriate auxiliary: 'I was brought up' or 'I have been brought up'. Also 'fuse' and 'in my country' phrasing unclear; replace with 'places in my country' and 'here' for natural speech. Suggestions: choose either simple past passive ('I was brought up') or present perfect passive ('I have been brought up') and avoid repetition.
× I've never traveled outside the country, so I barely know what is in outside I.
✓ I've never traveled outside the country, so I barely know what is outside it.
The phrase 'what is in outside I' is ungrammatical. Correct structure is 'what is outside it' or better 'what is in other countries' or 'what is outside my country'. Also ensure pronoun 'it' refers to 'the country'. Suggestions: use 'what is outside my country' for clarity and maintain present perfect 'I've never traveled' which fits the context.
