Examiner
Do you look out the window at the scenery when travelling by bus or car?
Candidate
I love to see outside of a window when I hit the road in the morning. It's really refreshing and relaxing. Picturesque sceneries outside in Quebec.
Examiner
Do you take photos of the scenery outside the car window?
Candidate
During driving the cars I don't touch my phone, but yet if I'm on the passenger seat I try to take pictures to keep my memory so that when I look after I I'll refresh the relaxation of that moment.
Examiner
Do you prefer the mountains or the sea?
Candidate
This question always confuses me. Why don't somebody likes mountains and the sea? And personally I really like mountains as well as the sea because mountains give you heights, a motivation to go on a peak, and sea gives you relaxation with the breeds.
Do you look out the window at the scenery when travelling by bus or car?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: Be more direct and grammatical: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid awkward phrasing and sentence fragments, and add one linked supporting detail with a reason or example. Keep to a maximum of 3–4 sentences and use linking words like “because” or “so”.
Example: Yes, I often look out of the window when I travel by car in the morning because the scenery is very refreshing. For example, the picturesque landscapes around Quebec help me relax and wake up for the day.
Do you take photos of the scenery outside the car window?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Make the response clearer and grammatically correct: begin with a direct statement, then link to a specific reason and an example. Avoid run-on sentences and unclear phrases like “look after I I'll refresh”. Use linking words such as “but”, “however” and “so”.
Example: I don’t take photos while I’m driving because it would be unsafe. However, if I’m a passenger, I often take pictures to preserve memories so I can look back later and relive the peaceful feeling.
Do you prefer the mountains or the sea?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: Answer directly and concisely: give a clear preference or say you like both, then support with two specific reasons using correct vocabulary and linking words. Avoid rhetorical questions and incorrect words (e.g., “breeds”); use “breeze” instead. Keep to 2–3 sentences maximum.
Example: I like both the mountains and the sea because they offer different benefits. For instance, mountains motivate me to hike and enjoy panoramic views, while the sea relaxes me with its calm waves and cool breeze.
× I love to see outside of a window when I hit the road in the morning.
✓ I love looking out of a window when I hit the road in the morning.
Use of verb + -ing (gerund) is more natural after 'love' when describing an activity. 'Love to see' is not ungrammatical but 'love looking' fits spoken context. Also 'out of a window' is less common than 'out of the window' or simply 'out of a window'; here 'out of a window' is acceptable. Suggestion: use 'love looking out of a window' for natural phrasing.
× Picturesque sceneries outside in Quebec.
✓ There are picturesque scenes outside in Quebec.
Original is a sentence fragment lacking a main verb. Use a 'there is/are' construction to form a complete sentence. Also 'scenery' is an uncountable noun; use 'scenes' or keep 'scenery' without plural - 'picturesque scenery'. Suggestion: 'There are picturesque scenes outside in Quebec' or 'The scenery in Quebec is picturesque.'
× During driving the cars I don't touch my phone, but yet if I'm on the passenger seat I try to take pictures to keep my memory so that when I look after I I'll refresh the relaxation of that moment.
✓ While driving I don't touch my phone, but if I'm in the passenger seat I try to take pictures to keep the memory so that when I look back I can relive the relaxed feeling of that moment.
Multiple issues: 'During driving the cars' is ungrammatical — use 'while driving' or 'when driving'. 'On the passenger seat' should be 'in the passenger seat'. 'Keep my memory' is incorrect collocation; use 'keep the memory' or 'preserve the memory'. 'When I look after' is wrong; use 'look back'. 'I I'll' is redundant; choose one auxiliary and correct tense: 'I can relive' or 'I will refresh' — 'relive' or 'relaxing feeling' is clearer. Also 'refresh the relaxation' is awkward; 'relive the relaxed feeling' or 'recall that relaxing moment' is better. Suggestions: use clear clauses and correct prepositions and collocations.

Sentence is grammatically correct. No change needed. Included here to indicate no error related to pronouns; the sentence functions correctly.
× Why don't somebody likes mountains and the sea?
✓ Why doesn't somebody like both mountains and the sea?
Subject-verb agreement and pronoun choice: 'somebody' is singular, so use 'doesn't' not 'don't'. After auxiliary 'does', the main verb should be base form 'like', not 'likes'. Also 'and the sea' suggests both items; 'both' clarifies. Suggestion: 'Why doesn't somebody like both mountains and the sea?'
× And personally I really like mountains as well as the sea because mountains give you heights, a motivation to go on a peak, and sea gives you relaxation with the breeds.
✓ Personally, I really like both mountains and the sea because mountains give you height and motivate you to climb to a peak, and the sea gives you relaxation with the breeze.
Multiple issues: 'And personally' can be simplified to 'Personally,'; 'as well as the sea' better as 'both mountains and the sea'. 'Mountains give you heights' should be 'give you height' or better 'give you a sense of height' or 'a sense of elevation'. 'A motivation to go on a peak' is awkward; use 'motivate you to climb to a peak'. 'Sea gives you relaxation' needs the definite article 'the sea' and 'relaxation with the breeds' has wrong word 'breeds' — intended 'breeze'. Also pronoun consistency: 'motivate you' not 'a motivation'. Suggestion: use clearer nouns and correct word 'breeze'.
