Views— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Your answer is too short and doesn't follow the evaluation rules. Start with a direct topic sentence, then give 1–2 supporting details using linking words. Be specific about why you don't like taking pictures (for example, lack of interest, time, or skill) and offer a brief comparison or example.

Ví dụ: Not really — I don't enjoy taking photos of views because I prefer experiencing a place in person rather than through a camera. For instance, when I travel I focus on talking to locals and soaking up the atmosphere instead of stopping to compose pictures.

Gợi ý: This reply is unclear and unnatural. Answer directly by choosing one option or explaining that you have no strong preference, then add a reason and a specific example. Use linking words like 'because', 'however', or 'for example' to connect ideas.

Ví dụ: I don't have a strong preference because both urban and rural views appeal to me for different reasons: urban scenery interests me for its architecture and lively streets, whereas rural views are calming and scenic. For example, I enjoy city skylines at night but also love hiking in the countryside for fresh air.

Gợi ý: The answer is vague and unnatural. Either state a preference or explain why you have none, then support it with specific reasons and an example. Use linking words such as 'because' or 'for instance' to make your response coherent.

Ví dụ: I don't really prefer one over the other because the appeal depends on the place — some domestic locations have familiar charm, while foreign views offer novelty and different cultures. For instance, I enjoy coastal towns at home for comfort, but I also loved the unique architecture I saw when traveling abroad.

× No, I don't.

✓ No, I don't like taking pictures of different views.

The student's reply 'No, I don't.' is grammatically acceptable but incomplete in context. The examiner asked 'Do you like taking pictures of different views?' A full response should repeat or include the verb to make the meaning clear: 'No, I don't like taking pictures of different views.' This avoids ambiguity and follows typical short-answer expansion. Suggestion: include the main verb or repeat part of the question after 'No, I don't.'

× No, I don't prefer.

✓ No, I don't prefer either.

The phrase 'No, I don't prefer.' is incomplete and unnatural. The examiner asked 'Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?' A natural negative response is 'No, I don't prefer either.' which clarifies that the speaker does not prefer one over the other. Alternatively, the student could say 'I don't have a preference.' Suggestion: use 'either' with negative 'don't' or use the noun 'preference' to form a complete thought.

× No, I don't prefer.

✓ No, I don't prefer views in my own country or in other countries.

Again, 'No, I don't prefer.' is incomplete. The examiner asked 'Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?' To answer clearly, include the object: 'No, I don't prefer views in my own country or in other countries.' Better options are 'I don't have a preference' or 'I don't prefer one over the other.' Suggestion: repeat the key noun ('views') or say 'one over the other'/'either' to complete the sentence.
