Part 1

Do you look out the window at the scenery when travelling by bus or car?

Score: 55.0

Suggestion: Make the response grammatically correct, concise, and add a brief reason to enrich content. Use a clear topic sentence, one linking phrase, and no more than 3 supporting sentences. Avoid repetition and correct verb forms.

Example: Sometimes I do look out the window when travelling by car, but usually I use my phone or read a book. For example, I glance at the view when the landscape is interesting, but on long journeys I prefer to read because it helps me pass the time.

Do you take photos of the scenery outside the car window?

Score: 50.0

Suggestion: Give a clear direct answer, correct grammar, and provide a specific reason or example. Use linking words (however, because) to make the answer coherent and avoid filler words like 'yeah' or contractions that cause unclear grammar.

Example: Sometimes I take photos from the car window if something catches my eye; however, I rarely do it because the view usually doesn't change much and the pictures turn out blurry.

Do you prefer the mountains or the sea?

Score: 40.0

Suggestion: Start with a clear topic sentence stating your preference, then give two specific, well-formed supporting reasons. Use linking words (because, and) correctly and avoid repetition. Fix word order and article use (the sea, the mountains).

Example: I prefer the sea to the mountains because I enjoy swimming and relaxing on the beach. Also, I love watching the ocean and listening to the waves, which helps me unwind.

Grammar

Verb + -ing form

× Most times I using my phone or reading a book while I'm in the car and traveling.

Most of the time I use my phone or read a book while I'm in the car and travelling.

The original sentence uses 'I using' which is ungrammatical because a finite auxiliary or correct verb form is required. This is an error of verb + -ing form used without an auxiliary. Change 'using' to the simple present 'use' to match the habitual action expressed by 'Most of the time'. Also change 'reading' to 'read' to keep parallel structure. Use 'travelling' (British) or 'traveling' (American) consistently. Next time, form habitual statements with the simple present (I use, I read) or with a correct continuous structure with an auxiliary (I am using). Maintain parallel verbs when listing actions.

Modal verb usage

× Sometimes I do take a photo outside from window if it's interesting me, yeah, but I don't think I'd often do it 'cause it's boring and it not it doesn't often change the scene.

Sometimes I do take a photo out of the window if it interests me, but I don't think I would do it often because it's boring and it doesn't change much.

Multiple issues: 'it's interesting me' is incorrect verb pattern — use 'it interests me' (verb + object) rather than 'interesting me'. This relates to verb structure and how subjects and objects work with verbs rather than a modal error, but the sentence also contains 'I'd often do it' which implies conditional/modal 'would'; corrected to 'I would do it often' and then reordered to 'I don't think I would do it often' for clarity. Removed colloquial 'cause' and tightened 'it not it doesn't often change the scene' to 'it doesn't change much'. Suggest using 'it interests me' for emotional reaction and 'I would' for hypothetical frequency.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× Sometimes I do take a photo outside from window if it's interesting me, yeah, but I don't think I'd often do it 'cause it's boring and it not it doesn't often change the scene.

Sometimes I do take a photo out of the window if it interests me, but I don't think I would do it often because it's boring and it doesn't change much.

The phrase 'outside from window' is ungrammatical. Use the prepositional phrase 'out of the window' or 'out the window' to indicate where the photo is taken from. Prepositions need to be chosen to match common collocations: 'out of the window' is standard. Also remove redundant or incorrect prepositions and ensure the rest of the sentence uses standard connectors like 'because'. Suggestion: learn common prepositional phrases for locations (in the car, out of the window, from the window vs out of the window) and practice them in context.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× Sometimes I do take a photo outside from window if it's interesting me, yeah, but I don't think I'd often do it 'cause it's boring and it not it doesn't often change the scene.

Sometimes I do take a photo out of the window if it interests me, but I don't think I would do it often because it's boring and it doesn't change much.

The phrase 'it's interesting me' uses the pronoun 'it' with a verb form that requires an object (it interests me) rather than a progressive with me as object. Also 'it not it doesn't often change the scene' includes redundant 'it' and incorrect negation. Use pronouns correctly: 'it interests me' and 'it doesn't change' with a single 'it'. Suggestion: focus on subject-verb-object patterns and avoid doubling pronouns or redundant words.

Singular and plural issue

× I prefer sea to the mountain because I like swimming and sea and the beautiful watching the beautiful beach and.

I prefer the sea to the mountains because I like swimming and watching the beautiful beach.

The student used singular/plural inconsistently: 'sea' vs 'the mountain' should be parallel in number. Use either both singular with articles ('the sea' and 'the mountain') or preferably plural for mountains and the sea as a general preference: 'the sea' and 'the mountains' or 'the mountains'. Also the sentence had repeated words and awkward structure ('and sea and the beautiful watching the beautiful beach and'). Correct to a clear, parallel sentence: 'I prefer the sea to the mountains because I like swimming and watching the beautiful beach.' Suggestion: keep parallel structures and match singular/plural when comparing two things ('prefer A to B') and remove redundant words.

Incorrect use of the definite article

× I prefer sea to the mountain because I like swimming and sea and the beautiful watching the beautiful beach and.

I prefer the sea to the mountains because I like swimming and watching the beautiful beach.

Ocean and mountain nouns in general preferences usually take the definite article: 'the sea' and 'the mountains'. The original omitted 'the' before 'sea' and used 'the mountain' singularly and awkwardly. Add 'the' and adjust number for natural English. Also simplify the rest of the phrase to correct article use with 'beach' ('the beautiful beach' or 'beautiful beaches' depending on meaning). Suggestion: when talking about general categories like the sea or the mountains as places, include 'the'.
