Do you like taking pictures of different views?
Điểm: 42.0Gợi ý: Improve clarity, grammar, and coherence. Begin with a clear topic sentence that directly answers the question, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid filler sounds (uh, um) and incorrect word forms (e.g., route → routes, imagine → images). Also keep answers concise (no more than 4–5 sentences).
Ví dụ: Yes, I love taking photos of different views. For example, when I visit historic towns I often photograph castle facades and old streets to preserve the atmosphere. These pictures help me remember the layout and mood of the place, and I sometimes make short videos to share with friends.
Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
Điểm: 30.0Gợi ý: Give a direct preference first (urban or rural) and then support it with specific reasons. Use correct articles and noun forms (a urban → an urban; the tree flower → trees and flowers). Use linking words (because, so, therefore) to connect ideas and keep sentences concise and grammatically correct.
Ví dụ: I prefer rural views because I enjoy quiet, natural surroundings. The trees and flowers create a peaceful atmosphere, and I find it relaxing to walk along country lanes and photograph landscapes.
Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Điểm: 38.0Gợi ý: Start with a clear, direct answer (I prefer views in my own country) and then give two specific reasons with examples. Correct grammar (born in there → born there; Vietnam have → Vietnam has; many place → many places). Avoid filler words and keep the response to a few coherent sentences.
Ví dụ: I prefer views in Vietnam because it is my homeland and holds many personal memories. Vietnam has diverse scenery—from historic towns and temples to dramatic coastlines—which feel special to me and are always worth photographing.
× I enjoy taking photographs of different route and a scanning view to capture memory of the place I visit.
✓ I enjoy taking photographs of different routes and a panoramic view to capture memories of the places I visit.
The sentence uses incorrect articles and noun forms. 'Route' should be plural 'routes' to match 'different'. 'A scanning view' is unnatural; 'a panoramic view' is appropriate. 'Memory' should be plural 'memories' because multiple memories are implied. 'Place' should be plural 'places' to match multiple visits. Use of articles corrected for natural English.
× Uh, for example, I often photograph castle part and historic street so it can later look back at the imagine, uh, and uh, video.
✓ For example, I often photograph parts of castles and historic streets so I can later look back at the images and videos.
Several issues: noun forms and prepositions need correction and verb tense/structure is wrong. 'Castle part' should be 'parts of castles'; 'historic street' should be plural 'historic streets'. 'So it can later look back at the imagine' is ungrammatical; change to 'so I can later look back at the images and videos' to use correct subject 'I' and plural nouns 'images' and 'videos'. Present simple 'often photograph' is kept.
× I recall how each play fell and that I.
✓ I recall how each place felt and what I experienced.
Original sentence is fragmented and contains incorrect words: 'play fell' seems to be misheard for 'place felt' and 'and that I' is incomplete. Corrected to a full clause 'I recall how each place felt and what I experienced' to convey memory of sensations and experiences.
× Absolutely because I live in a urban area or in a quiet and peaceful place so I love the surrounded there by the tree flower and I think is reasonable way to a left.
✓ Absolutely. I live in an urban area near quiet and peaceful places, so I love being surrounded by trees and flowers, and I think it is a reasonable way to relax.
Multiple errors: 'a urban' should be 'an urban' (article before vowel sound). 'The surrounded there by the tree flower' is incorrect—use 'being surrounded by trees and flowers'. 'I think is reasonable way to a left' is ungrammatical; intended meaning likely 'reasonable way to relax'. Added punctuation and rephrased for clarity.
× Oh, to be honest, I prefer view in Vietnam because I was born in there.
✓ Oh, to be honest, I prefer views in Vietnam because I was born there.
'Prefer view' needs plural 'views'. 'In there' is incorrect; use 'there' after 'born'. Removed unnecessary article 'in' before 'there'.
× I lived in there for about 20 years.
✓ I lived there for about 20 years.
The preposition 'in' before 'there' is redundant. Use 'lived there' to indicate past residence.
× So I think Vietnam have many special and are very special to me.
✓ So I think Vietnam has many special places and it is very special to me.
Subject-verb agreement: 'Vietnam have' should be 'Vietnam has' because Vietnam (singular) takes singular verb. 'Many special' is incomplete; add noun 'places'. Clarified 'are very special to me' to 'it is very special to me' referring back to Vietnam.
× Umm, many place and umm umm historical nature is very.
✓ Many places and historical sites are very meaningful to me.
'Many place' should be plural 'many places'. 'Historical nature is very' is incomplete and unclear; likely meant 'historical sites' or 'historical nature' being meaningful. Rephrased to 'historical sites are very meaningful to me' for clarity and grammatical completeness.
