Do you like taking pictures of different views?
Điểm: 30.0Gợi ý: Your answer repeated the examiner's question instead of responding. Always give a clear direct response (yes/no or a brief opinion) and add one or two specific supporting details. Keep it natural and concise, up to 5 sentences, and avoid echoing the question.
Ví dụ: Yes, I enjoy taking pictures of different views. I especially like photographing landscapes because I can capture changing light and interesting compositions. For example, I often take photos at sunrise when the colours are most dramatic.
Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
Điểm: 55.0Gợi ý: Your answer expresses a clear preference but is slightly awkward and lacks supporting detail. Improve by stating your main idea more naturally, then give one specific reason and, if possible, a short example. Use linking words like 'because' or 'so' to connect ideas.
Ví dụ: I prefer rural areas to urban ones because the countryside offers more natural scenery and quieter settings for photography. For example, I like capturing rolling hills and rivers at sunset, which you rarely find in a busy city.
Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Điểm: 50.0Gợi ý: Your answer states a preference but the sentence is grammatically incorrect and lacks explanation. Make the structure clear: give your opinion, then support it with a specific reason or brief example. Use comparative language correctly (e.g., 'I prefer X to Y' or 'X is better than Y because...').
Ví dụ: I prefer the views in my country to those in other countries because I'm familiar with the best spots and local seasons. For instance, I know a nearby coastal cliff that looks spectacular in autumn, so I can photograph it under ideal conditions.
× I don't prefer urban areas but rural areas are better option to do it.
✓ I don't prefer urban areas, but rural areas are a better option for taking pictures.
The original sentence has tense/usage and article problems. 'I don't prefer' is acceptable but awkward; keep present tense. Missing article 'a' before 'better option' and incorrect preposition 'to do it' — use 'for taking pictures' (gerund after preposition). Also add a comma before 'but' to separate clauses. Suggestion: use 'a better option for taking pictures' to be grammatically correct and natural in present tense.
× I prefer the views in my country are better than other countries.
✓ I prefer the views in my country to those in other countries.
The original sentence mixes structures and uses an incorrect comparative form. Use 'prefer A to B' to compare preferences in present tense. Also use 'those' as the plural pronoun referring to 'views' and include 'in' before 'other countries' for clarity. This fixes subject-verb and comparison structure, making the sentence grammatical and natural.
