Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: Cải thiện độ tự nhiên và trôi chảy bằng cách loại bỏ tiếng “uh” lặp lại, dùng câu ngắn gọn hơn và cụ thể hơn. Thêm một câu chủ đề rõ ràng, sau đó bổ sung 1–2 chi tiết cụ thể (ví dụ loại phong cảnh bạn thích, công cụ bạn dùng hoặc cảm giác cụ thể khi chụp). Chú ý ngữ pháp (plural: pictures) và tránh từ mơ hồ như “avoid”.
Ví dụ: Yes, I really enjoy photographing different views. It helps me relax and relieve stress, especially when I take landscape photos at sunrise. I usually use my phone or a small DSLR, and focusing on details like light and composition makes me feel refreshed.

× I'm a big fan of taking pictures of different views because, uh, taking picture helps me uh, reduce stress, uh, relax and avoid.
✓ I'm a big fan of taking pictures of different views because taking pictures helps me reduce stress, relax, and unwind.
The sentence misuses the noun form 'picture' instead of the plural gerund 'pictures' after 'taking'. Use the gerund/noun 'taking pictures' to indicate the activity. Also use parallel structure in the list 'reduce stress, relax, and unwind' and remove filler hesitations. Suggestion: use consistent gerund form and maintain parallel verbs when listing actions.
× I prefer views in rural areas rather than views in urban area because in rural areas I get the opportunity to escape from reality and I very like the nephew or not.
✓ I prefer views in rural areas rather than views in urban areas because in rural areas I get the opportunity to escape from reality and I really like the peace and quiet.
The original has plural/singular mismatch 'urban area' should be 'urban areas' to match 'rural areas'. Also ‘I very like the nephew or not’ is ungrammatical and seems to be incorrect word choice; likely intended meaning is 'I really like the peace and quiet'. Suggestion: match plural forms when comparing categories and replace unclear phrase with appropriate noun phrase.
× I prefer views in my own country because I feel it very familiar and reflect our control, so I'm very comfortable.
✓ I prefer views in my own country because I feel they are very familiar and reflect our culture, so I'm very comfortable.
The sentence uses the pronoun 'it' to refer to 'views', which is plural, so 'they' is correct. The verb phrase 'feel it very familiar' needs 'feel they are very familiar'. 'Reflect our control' is incorrect word choice; likely intended 'reflect our culture'. Suggestion: ensure pronouns agree in number with their antecedents and choose accurate vocabulary; use 'they are' for plural subjects.
× It's a great way to uh, recharge my batteries.
✓ It's a great way to recharge my batteries.
The sentence contains filler 'uh' which is not a grammatical error but disrupts fluency; removing fillers improves present tense statement. The present tense expression 'It's a great way to recharge my batteries' is correct. Suggestion: avoid filler words and keep the present simple for general statements.
× It's a great way to clear my head.
✓ It's a great way to clear my head.
This sentence is grammatically correct in the present simple for stating a general truth. No correction needed. Suggestion: keep the concise present simple form for general statements.
