Do you look out the window at the scenery when travelling by bus or car?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: Correct grammar and word choice, make sentences more concise and coherent. Begin with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Fix verb forms and small errors (e.g., 'window seat', 'as they pass by', 'gives me').
Example: Yes — I always choose a window seat when I travel. I enjoy watching the countryside and cityscapes as they pass by, because they help me relax and often give me fresh ideas for my work. For example, I notice small details like old houses or unusual trees that I wouldn’t see otherwise.
Do you take photos of the scenery outside the car window?
Score: 74.0Suggestion: Be more precise and correct small grammar mistakes. Provide a brief reason and an example. Use linking words to connect ideas (e.g., 'because', 'so', 'for example'). Avoid vague phrases like 'a lot of pictures' without detail.
Example: Yes, I often photograph scenery from the window because photography is one of my hobbies. For example, on a recent trip I took dozens of photos of coastal cliffs and sunlit fields, which I later edited and shared on my photo blog.
Do you prefer the mountains or the sea?
Score: 66.0Suggestion: Make a clear direct answer first, then add a concise reason and an example. Correct grammar (e.g., 'mountains and seas', 'I prefer the sea and beaches', 'I alternate visits to the mountains and the coast'). Finish sentences fully and avoid trailing off.
Example: I prefer the sea and beaches, although I enjoy mountains too. I like the sea because I find the sound of waves relaxing and swimming refreshing; nevertheless, I visit the mountains every few months for hiking and fresh air.
× Yes, I always choose windows seed, whether I'm traveling by air, road or rail.
✓ Yes, I always choose a window seat, whether I'm traveling by air, by road, or by rail.
The sentence has noun and article errors. 'windows seed' is incorrect: the correct noun is 'window seat' (singular). An article 'a' is needed before 'window seat'. Also parallel prepositions should be 'by air, by road, or by rail' for consistency. Suggestion: use the singular noun 'window seat' with the indefinite article and keep prepositions parallel.
× I am keen to see the landscapes and the countryside as passing by.
✓ I am keen to see the landscapes and the countryside as they pass by.
The verb phrase 'passing by' lacks a clear subject and tense agreement. 'the landscapes and the countryside as passing by' is ungrammatical. Use a clause with subject 'they' and present simple 'pass' to describe repeated or general action: 'as they pass by.' Alternatively, 'as they pass' is acceptable. Suggestion: include the subject and match tense for clarity.
× It also give me a fresh perspective on life watching.
✓ It also gives me a fresh perspective on life to watch.
The verb 'give' does not agree with singular subject 'It'; it should be 'gives'. The original gerund phrase 'watching' is awkward; using the infinitive 'to watch' or a gerund phrase 'watching it' would be clearer. Suggestion: make subject-verb agreement correct and use a clear verb form: 'gives me... to watch.'
× Of course, photography is a hobby for me and I love to capture the landscape and vivid scenes passing by.
✓ Of course, photography is a hobby for me and I love to capture landscapes and vivid scenes passing by.
'the landscape' implies a specific landscape; in general statements plural 'landscapes' is more appropriate. No article is needed when speaking generally. Suggestion: use plural 'landscapes' for general activities and keep 'vivid scenes' plural.
× I capture lot of pictures.
✓ I capture a lot of pictures.
The phrase 'lot' requires a determiner: 'a lot of' before a plural noun. Without 'a' it is ungrammatical. Suggestion: use 'a lot of pictures' or 'many pictures.'
× I grew up in a landscape where both mountain and seas are beautiful, so I prefer both but more of seas and beaches.
✓ I grew up in a landscape where both mountains and seas are beautiful, so I prefer both but prefer seas and beaches more.
Mismatch in singular/plural: 'both mountain and seas' should be 'mountains and seas.' Also 'more of seas and beaches' is awkward; rephrase to 'prefer seas and beaches more' for clarity and correct comparative structure. Suggestion: make both nouns plural and place comparative 'more' after the verb.
× I alternatively go to the mountains and.
✓ I alternate between going to the mountains and going to the beaches.
The sentence is incomplete and has poor structure. 'Alternatively go to the mountains and.' ends abruptly and lacks the second element. Use 'alternate between' followed by two parallel gerunds or nouns: 'alternate between going to the mountains and going to the beaches.' Suggestion: provide both contrasting destinations and keep parallel structure.
