Part 1
Examiner
Do you look out the window at the scenery when travelling by bus or car?
Candidate
Yes, every single time. Even if I'm traveling for hundred time on that road, I look out my window. This helps me to avoid travelling sickness. I kind of divert myself by observing the beautiful sceneries around. It helps me a lot.
Examiner
Do you take photos of the scenery outside the car window?
Candidate
No, I do not. I prefer still photography than taking them while in the motion because it gets blurry and while doing so I miss out on opportunity to capture them naturally through my eyes.
Examiner
Do you prefer the mountains or the sea?
Candidate
That depends, I prefer watching sunsets by the sea because the view is relaxing and the horizon is beautiful, while I like to watch sunrise and the mountains because it's peaceful and uh, the fresh air is worth starting early and I also enjoy hiking and.
Do you look out the window at the scenery when travelling by bus or car?
Score: 80.0Suggestion: Your answer is natural and relevant, with clear reasons. To improve, make sentences more grammatically precise, avoid repetition, and use a linking word to make the sequence of ideas smoother. Also limit length to 3–4 concise sentences.
Example: Yes, I always look out of the window when I travel by bus or car because observing the scenery distracts me from travel sickness. For example, on a long trip I focus on the passing landscape, which makes me feel calmer and less dizzy.
Do you take photos of the scenery outside the car window?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: Good clear opinion and reason. Improve by using smoother linking (e.g., because/so), correcting small grammar issues, and combining ideas into one or two concise sentences to sound more fluent.
Example: No, I usually don't, because photos taken from a moving vehicle are often blurry, and I prefer to enjoy the view with my own eyes rather than trying to photograph it.
Do you prefer the mountains or the sea?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: You gave balanced reasons for both options, which is good. To improve, avoid filler words (uh), finish sentences fully, and organize the response with clear linking words (for example, whereas/while). Also add a brief concluding preference if asked to choose one.
Example: It depends. I prefer sunsets by the sea because the view is very relaxing and the wide horizon is striking, whereas I enjoy the mountains for sunrise since the fresh air and peaceful atmosphere are ideal for hiking. Overall, if I had to choose one, I'd pick the mountains for their tranquility and outdoor opportunities.
× Even if I'm traveling for hundred time on that road, I look out my window.
✓ Even if I've traveled that road a hundred times, I look out my window.
The original mixes present continuous 'I'm traveling' with an expression that refers to repeated past experiences. Use present perfect 'I've traveled' or present simple 'I travel' with 'a hundred times'. Also 'hundred time' is uncountable error; correct form is 'a hundred times'. Use 'that road' rather than 'on that road' for natural phrasing.
× I look out my window.
✓ I look out of my window.
While 'look out my window' is understandable, the more grammatically complete form is 'look out of my window'. The preposition 'out of' indicates movement from inside to outside; alternatively 'look out the window' is also common and correct.
× This helps me to avoid travelling sickness.
✓ This helps me to avoid travel sickness.
Use the uncountable noun 'travel sickness' or 'motion sickness' rather than 'travelling sickness'. Also use American spelling 'travel' or British 'travelling' consistently; 'travel sickness' is standard.
× I kind of divert myself by observing the beautiful sceneries around.
✓ I kind of distract myself by observing the beautiful scenery around.
'Scenery' is an uncountable noun, not 'sceneries'. Also 'divert myself' is awkward; 'distract myself' is a more natural collocation. Maintain singular uncountable form 'scenery'.
× No, I do not. I prefer still photography than taking them while in the motion because it gets blurry and while doing so I miss out on opportunity to capture them naturally through my eyes.
✓ No, I do not. I prefer still photography to taking photos while in motion because they get blurry, and when I do that I miss the opportunity to capture the view with my own eyes.
Use 'prefer X to Y' not 'prefer X than Y'. 'While in the motion' should be 'while in motion' or 'while moving'. 'It gets blurry' should agree with plural 'photos' so 'they get blurry'. Add 'the' in 'miss the opportunity' and use 'capture the view with my own eyes' for clearer meaning.
× I prefer still photography than taking them while in the motion because it gets blurry and while doing so I miss out on opportunity to capture them naturally through my eyes.
✓ No, I do not. I prefer still photography to taking photos while in motion because they get blurry, and when I do that I miss the opportunity to capture the view with my own eyes.
Avoid ambiguous pronoun 'them'; specify 'photos' or 'the photos'. 'While doing so' is vague; 'when I do that' is clearer. Ensure pronouns agree in number with their antecedents.
× That depends, I prefer watching sunsets by the sea because the view is relaxing and the horizon is beautiful, while I like to watch sunrise and the mountains because it's peaceful and uh, the fresh air is worth starting early and I also enjoy hiking and.
✓ That depends. I prefer watching sunsets by the sea because the view is relaxing and the horizon is beautiful. I like watching sunrises in the mountains because it's peaceful, the fresh air makes getting up early worthwhile, and I also enjoy hiking.
Original is a run-on sentence with inconsistent parallel structures and punctuation. Separate ideas into sentences or use conjunctions properly. Use plural 'sunrises' and 'watching' for parallelism. Replace 'watch sunrise and the mountains' with 'watching sunrises in the mountains'. 'The fresh air is worth starting early' is awkward; 'the fresh air makes getting up early worthwhile' is clearer. Remove trailing 'and.'
