Views— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Give a direct, slightly expanded answer about your own habits or feelings instead of turning the question back to the examiner. Keep it natural and specific (1–3 sentences). Use linking words if adding details, and avoid asking the examiner immediate follow-ups. For example, mention what kinds of views you prefer and why.

Ví dụ: Yes, I do. I enjoy photographing landscapes and cityscapes because they capture different moods — for instance, I like sunrise over mountains for its colors and evening streets for their atmosphere.

Gợi ý: Respond directly with a clear preference and give one or two specific reasons or examples. Use a topic sentence stating your choice, then add supporting detail with a linking word (e.g., because, although, or for example). Avoid asking the examiner the same question back.

Ví dụ: I prefer rural views because I find natural scenery more relaxing and authentic; for example, I enjoy photographing quiet fields and forests where there are interesting colors and textures.

Gợi ý: Answer the question clearly — indicate whether you prefer views at home or abroad — and explain why with a specific reason or example. Use linking words to connect your ideas and keep answers concise (1–3 sentences). Don’t invert the question back to the examiner immediately.

Ví dụ: I prefer views in other countries because they offer different architecture and landscapes that I haven't seen before; for example, I loved photographing coastal villages when I traveled abroad last year.

× Yes, I like. How about you?

✓ Yes, I do. How about you?

The student omitted the auxiliary verb needed to answer a yes/no question in the present simple. In short responses to 'Do you like...?', use the auxiliary do/does plus the base verb (do/does + verb) or a full sentence. Suggestion: say 'Yes, I do.' or 'Yes, I like taking pictures.'.

× I don't know, how about you? What is you like?

✓ I don't know, how about you? What do you like?

'What is you like?' is ungrammatical because English uses the auxiliary do for questions in the simple present (except for verbs be and auxiliaries). Use 'What do you like?' Also keep the previous clause 'I don't know, how about you?' but use a question mark and capitalize properly. Suggestion: use 'do' for simple present questions (What do you like?).

× Yes, I prefer. How about you?

✓ Yes, I prefer (views in my country). How about you?

Answer 'Yes, I prefer.' is incomplete because 'prefer' is transitive and normally requires an object or clause (prefer what?). Provide the object: 'I prefer views in my country' or use 'Yes, I do' if confirming a preference. Suggestion: supply the object after 'prefer' or use 'Yes, I do.'.
