Part 1

Examiner

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

Candidate

Yes, I am a nature freak so most of the time when I visit my village I go through bus. I always start watching outside. Whenever I leave the city and the village starts coming. There is a lot of greenery, mountains that I love.

Examiner

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

Candidate

They don't prefer to take photos, instead I try to videograph them and take as much as video that I can. Then I edit it in landscape mode and post on Instagram.

Examiner

Do you prefer the mountains or the sea?

Candidate

Since childhood I have always traveled to places where there are a lot of mountains. I have never visited any beaches or sea. So I'm very curious and I want to go to different sea and beaches and enjoy the view.

Part 1

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

Score: 72.0

Suggestion: Be more concise and correct grammar: start with a clear topic sentence, combine short fragments, and add one or two specific details using linking words. Correct tense and article use (e.g., 'when I travel to my village I take the bus' not 'I go through bus').

Example: Yes — I usually look out of the window when I travel by bus to my village. As soon as we leave the city, I watch the scenery because there is a lot of greenery and mountains that I love, and I find it very relaxing.

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

Score: 65.0

Suggestion: Answer directly and use correct subject pronouns and simple linking words. Avoid vague phrases like 'as much as video' — be specific about what you do and why. Keep within 2–4 sentences and correct grammar (e.g., 'I don't prefer' not 'They don't prefer').

Example: I don't usually take photos; I prefer to record videos of the scenery. Afterwards I edit the clips in landscape mode and post highlights on Instagram so I can share the view with friends.

Do you prefer the mountains or the sea?

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: Make a clear preference statement and give a reason or contrast using linking words. Correct small grammar points (use 'seas' or 'the sea' and 'beaches' consistently). Add a concise concluding sentence about future plans or feelings.

Example: I've always preferred mountains because I grew up visiting mountainous areas. However, I've never been to the sea, so I'm curious to experience beaches one day and enjoy the ocean views.

Grammar

Incorrect use of prepositions

× Yes, I am a nature freak so most of the time when I visit my village I go through bus.

Yes, I am a nature freak, so most of the time when I visit my village I go by bus.

Use of the preposition 'through' with 'bus' is incorrect. The correct preposition for modes of transport is 'by'. Also add a comma after the introductory clause for clarity.

Sentence structure errors

× I always start watching outside.

I always start watching the scenery outside.

The verb 'watch' needs an object here to be clear. Adding 'the scenery' specifies what is being watched and completes the sentence structure.

Sentence structure errors

× Whenever I leave the city and the village starts coming.

Whenever I leave the city and the village begins to appear.

The clause 'the village starts coming' is unnatural in English. Use 'begins to appear' or 'comes into view' to express the idea that the village becomes visible. Also maintain verb phrase consistency.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× There is a lot of greenery, mountains that I love.

There is a lot of greenery and mountains, which I love.

The original sentence lacks a conjunction and a relative pronoun. Use 'and' to link items and 'which' to add the comment 'I love' as a non-defining relative clause.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× They don't prefer to take photos, instead I try to videograph them and take as much as video that I can.

I don't prefer to take photos; instead, I try to video them and take as much footage as I can.

The subject 'They' is incorrect; the speaker refers to themselves so use 'I'. 'Videograph' is uncommon in casual speech—'video' or 'record' is better. 'As much as video that I can' is ungrammatical; use 'as much footage as I can'.

Incorrect use of articles

× Then I edit it in landscape mode and post on Instagram.

Then I edit it in landscape mode and post it on Instagram.

The verb 'post' needs a direct object here ('it') to refer back to the video. Also include the object to make the sentence complete.

Present tense issue

× Since childhood I have always traveled to places where there are a lot of mountains.

Since childhood I have always traveled to places with many mountains.

This is acceptable but can be improved: 'where there are a lot of mountains' is wordy; 'with many mountains' is more natural. Tense 'have always traveled' matches 'since childhood' correctly.

Incorrect use of articles

× I have never visited any beaches or sea.

I have never visited any beaches or the sea.

When referring to 'sea' in general, use the definite article 'the sea'. Also 'any beaches' is fine; adding 'the' before 'sea' makes it grammatical.

Verb in the present participle form

× So I'm very curious and I want to go to different sea and beaches and enjoy the view.

So I'm very curious and I want to go to different seas and beaches and enjoy the view.

The noun 'sea' should be plural ('seas') to match 'different' and to parallel 'beaches'. Also consider 'different seas and beaches' or 'different beaches and seas' for parallel structure.
