考官
Do you like taking pictures of different views?
考生
I do enjoy taking pictures of different scenery because I feel like it means capturing the moment and considering the kind of person I am. I always like to look back to things, so every chance I get I take pictures of all kinds of beautiful.
考官
Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
考生
If I'm being honest, it depends on how I'm feeling. Sometimes I can enjoy the high of beautiful skylines and sunsets in the city area, but mostly I just feel more connected and tied down with countryside. It's just something about it that brings calmness.

Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
考生
Uh, I prefer reviews in other countries since I grew up in my own and I've always felt connected to the place and I've explored it. Deep down I always feel like exploring different countries and different architecture and culture brings my life a new me, meaning it makes me look at life.
Do you like taking pictures of different views?
分数: 72.0建议: Improve clarity and coherence: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetitive phrases, correct minor grammar and word choice errors, and keep within 3–4 sentences. Add a specific example to make your answer more vivid. Use linking words such as 'because' or 'for example' to connect ideas.
示例: Yes, I enjoy taking pictures of different scenery because it lets me capture special moments. For example, when I visited the coast last year I photographed the sunrise, and that photo reminds me of how peaceful the morning felt. I often review these images later to remember the mood and details.
Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
分数: 78.0建议: Make your preference explicit in the first sentence and support it with specific reasons and a brief comparison. Reduce vague expressions ('tied down') and use clearer vocabulary. Use a linking phrase like 'however' or 'on the other hand' to contrast city and countryside.
示例: It depends, but I generally prefer rural views because they make me feel calm and relaxed. City skylines can be impressive, especially at sunset, however the countryside offers open fields and quiet paths where I can breathe and think. For instance, walking along a nearby trail helps me recharge after a busy week.
Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
分数: 68.0建议: Avoid hesitation and correct word choice ('reviews' → 'views'). Begin with a clear topic sentence stating your preference, then give concise reasons and a concrete example. Remove confusing or vague phrases like 'brings my life a new me' and replace with precise descriptions of how travel changes your perspective.
示例: I prefer views in other countries because seeing different architecture and landscapes broadens my perspective. For example, visiting Barcelona surprised me with its unique buildings and lively streets, which made me appreciate how culture shapes a city's appearance. This kind of travel helps me see familiar things in a new way.
× I do enjoy taking pictures of different scenery because I feel like it means capturing the moment and considering the kind of person I am.
✓ I do enjoy taking pictures of different scenery because I feel like it means capturing the moment and reflecting the kind of person I am.
The original used 'considering the kind of person I am', which is grammatically possible but awkward and not the best collocation here. 'Reflecting' (present participle meaning 'showing' or 'representing') better matches the intended meaning of photos showing aspects of personality. Suggest using verbs that collocate naturally with 'pictures' and 'personality' to improve clarity.
× I always like to look back to things, so every chance I get I take pictures of all kinds of beautiful.
✓ I always like to look back on things, so whenever I get the chance I take pictures of all kinds of beautiful scenes.
Multiple issues: 'look back to' is incorrect preposition use; correct phrase is 'look back on'. 'Every chance I get' is acceptable but 'whenever I get the chance' is more natural. 'All kinds of beautiful' lacks a noun; add 'scenes' to complete the phrase. This fixes preposition and noun omission problems.
× Sometimes I can enjoy the high of beautiful skylines and sunsets in the city area, but mostly I just feel more connected and tied down with countryside.
✓ Sometimes I enjoy the thrill of beautiful skylines and sunsets in the city, but mostly I just feel more connected to the countryside.
'Can enjoy the high of' is awkward; use 'enjoy the thrill of' or simply 'enjoy'. 'City area' is redundant; 'city' is sufficient. 'Tied down with countryside' is incorrect preposition and collocation; use 'connected to the countryside'. This corrects preposition and idiomatic usage.
× It's just something about it that brings calmness.
✓ There's just something about it that brings calmness.
The sentence sounded unnatural because 'It's just something about it' is awkward; 'There's just something about it' is the common idiomatic structure. This uses the existential 'there' construction to present an unspecified thing that causes calmness.
× Uh, I prefer reviews in other countries since I grew up in my own and I've always felt connected to the place and I've explored it.
✓ Uh, I prefer views in other countries since I grew up in my own and I've already explored it.
The speaker used 'reviews' mistakenly instead of 'views' (wrong word). Also 'I've always felt connected to the place and I've explored it' is slightly repetitive; 'I've already explored it' clarifies that the speaker has explored their own country. This fixes incorrect word choice and improves concision.
× Deep down I always feel like exploring different countries and different architecture and culture brings my life a new me, meaning it makes me look at life.
✓ Deep down I feel that exploring different countries, architectures, and cultures renews my life and makes me look at life differently.
Original sentence has structural and agreement problems: 'I always feel like exploring ... brings my life a new me' is ungrammatical. Use a finite clause: 'I feel that exploring ... renews my life' and make nouns parallel ('architectures' is better as 'architecture' or 'architectural styles'; here 'architectures' is corrected to 'architectures' to indicate different architectural styles) and rephrase the ending to 'makes me look at life differently' to convey the intended meaning. This fixes sentence structure, verb agreement, and clarity.
