Do you like taking pictures of different views?
Điểm: 46.0Gợi ý: Be clearer and more natural: start with a direct topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid unclear phrases and vocabulary errors (e.g., “French and corn” is unclear). Keep it within 3–4 short sentences.
Ví dụ: Yes, I do. I especially enjoy photographing natural landscapes because they feel calming and beautiful. For example, I like capturing wide fields and mountain scenes during sunrise, which show rich colors and a peaceful atmosphere.
Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
Điểm: 58.0Gợi ý: Give a clear direct answer, then support it with specific reasons and a linking word. Avoid repetition and incomplete sentences. Mention one concrete detail to strengthen your response.
Ví dụ: I prefer rural areas to urban ones because I enjoy natural scenery. For instance, mountain views and open fields are relaxing and let me escape the noise of the city, so I often choose rural spots for walks and photos.
Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Điểm: 40.0Gợi ý: State your preference clearly and explain why with specific reasons. Use linking words (for example, because, so) and avoid hesitation sounds like “umm.” Replace vague words like “willed” with clear expressions such as “excited” or “curious.”
Ví dụ: I prefer views in other countries because I enjoy discovering new landscapes. For example, seeing unfamiliar coastlines or mountain ranges excites me and gives me fresh perspectives that I don't get at home.
× I enjoy being surrounded with nature.
✓ I enjoy being surrounded by nature.
Use 'surrounded by' to indicate what is around someone or something; 'surrounded with' is incorrect in this context. Suggestion: use 'surrounded by' whenever referring to the thing that encloses or surrounds someone.
× I mostly prefer taking a landscape.
✓ I usually prefer taking landscape photos.
'Mostly prefer' is awkward; 'usually prefer' is more natural. 'a landscape' is incorrect because 'landscape' here is a countable instance when referring to a photo type, so use 'landscape photos' or 'a landscape photo'. Suggestion: use 'usually prefer' and specify 'landscape photos' or 'a landscape photo'.
× I tend to it gives me French and corn.
✓ I tend to take photos that remind me of France and cornfields.
The original sentence has unclear structure and incorrect wording. 'I tend to it gives me French and corn' is ungrammatical. Likely intent is that the views evoke memories of France and cornfields. Use 'tend to' followed by a verb phrase ('tend to take photos') and 'that remind me of' to show the association. Specify 'France' (country) and 'cornfields' (plural, common noun).
× Also peaceful.
✓ They are also peaceful.
'Also peaceful' is a sentence fragment lacking a subject and verb. Add a subject ('they' referring to views or photos) and verb 'are' to form a complete sentence. Suggestion: avoid sentence fragments in spoken answers when possible by adding the subject and verb.
× Like I mentioned before, I love the views of mountain landscape, so I prefer rural areas more than the urban areas because of nature.
✓ As I mentioned before, I love mountain landscapes, so I prefer rural areas to urban areas because of the nature.
Use 'As I mentioned before' or 'Like I mentioned' is acceptable but 'As' is slightly more formal. 'views of mountain landscape' is awkward: use 'mountain landscapes' or 'views of mountain landscapes'. Use the comparative 'prefer A to B' rather than 'prefer A more than B'. Also 'the urban areas' unnecessary article; use 'urban areas' or 'the countryside' depending on meaning. Suggestion: use 'prefer rural areas to urban areas' and plural 'mountain landscapes'.
× I love the way.
✓ I love the scenery.
'I love the way' is incomplete and vague; likely intended 'I love the way it looks' or 'I love the scenery.' Also 'way' needs an object to be clear. Suggestion: specify what you love, e.g., 'I love the scenery' or 'I love the way it looks.'
× I prefer views in foreign country.
✓ I prefer views in foreign countries.
Missing article and number: you need 'a foreign country' (singular) or plural 'foreign countries'. In this context, general preference uses plural 'foreign countries'. Also include 'in' is fine. Suggestion: say 'in foreign countries' or 'in a foreign country' depending on meaning.
× I like willed when I haven't seen them before.
✓ I like visiting places I haven't seen before.
'I like willed' is ungrammatical; likely intended 'I like wild' or 'I like [something] when I haven't seen them before' but context suggests enjoying visiting new places. Use 'visiting places I haven't seen before.' Also ensure subject-verb agreement: 'places... I haven't seen.' Suggestion: use 'visiting' plus relative clause.
× I think it's UMM.
✓ I think so.
'It's UMM' contains a filler 'UMM' which is not appropriate in written answers. 'I think so' is a concise alternative. If the speaker is hesitating, in writing avoid fillers and give a clear response. Suggestion: replace vocal hesitation with a clear phrase such as 'I think so' or 'I believe so.'
