Part 1

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

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: Be concise and grammatical. Start with a clear topic sentence that directly answers the question, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Correct verb tense and word order (e.g., "I prefer to sit by the window" not "I take to the bus"). Mention recent routine rather than an unclear time in the past.

Example: Yes, I usually sit by the window when I travel by bus because I enjoy the view. For example, I have used the Busway in Jakarta for the past four years, and every morning I look at the city streets and buildings as I commute to work.

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

Score: 50.0

Suggestion: Make the answer grammatically correct and coherent. Give a short direct response, then add a clear specific example with correct tense and sequencing words (e.g., "Last week I took my best photo when..."). Avoid vague phrases like "one room"; be precise about locations and events.

Example: Yes, I often take photos from the window. For instance, last week on the train I captured a great picture of a brightly lit riverside park while we passed by, and I still keep it on my phone.

Do you prefer the mountains or the sea?

Score: 55.0

Suggestion: Answer directly and give one or two specific reasons with correct grammar and linking words. Use past simple for past events and provide clearer details about the experience (where, when, who, what you did). Avoid repetition ("I really love beach so much").

Example: I prefer the sea because I find it relaxing and refreshing. For example, two years ago I went to Bandarand beach for a friend's wedding; we camped by the shore and I enjoyed swimming and walking along the sand, which made me feel very relaxed.

Grammar

Incorrect use of prepositions

× Yes, I take to the bus and choose it near a window.

Yes, I take the bus and choose a seat near a window.

The phrase 'take to the bus' is incorrect; use 'take the bus' to describe using that mode of transport. Also 'choose it near a window' incorrectly uses 'it' for 'seat' and wrong verb object; 'choose a seat near a window' is natural. Suggestions: omit 'to' after 'take' when referring to transportation and explicitly use 'seat' if needed.

Past tense issue

× I have worked at Jakarta 4 years ago and I usually use Busway as my public transportation every day, every morning.

I worked in Jakarta 4 years ago, and I usually use the Busway as my public transportation every morning.

The phrase 'have worked ... 4 years ago' mixes present perfect with a specific past time expression '4 years ago' which requires simple past ('worked'). Use 'in Jakarta' rather than 'at Jakarta'. Also use article 'the' before 'Busway' when referring to a specific system, and 'every morning' is sufficient. Suggestions: use simple past for actions tied to a specific time in the past and use correct preposition 'in' for cities.

Incorrect verb form (Verb + -ing form)

× Yeah, of course I have already prepared my camera to take a picture.

Yeah, of course I had already prepared my camera to take pictures.

Context seems to refer to a past situation ('had already prepared') before taking photos; past perfect 'had prepared' is appropriate if referring to preparation before another past action. Also 'a picture' can be plural 'pictures' depending on intent. If speaking generally about readiness, 'I already prepared my camera' (simple past) is also acceptable. Suggestions: use past perfect when indicating an action completed before another past event; choose singular/plural consistently.

Sentence structure errors

× I thought the best photo that I got when I was take to the train go to one room last week.

I thought the best photo I got was taken when I went by train to a room last week.

Original sentence has incorrect verb forms and word order: 'was take' should be passive 'was taken'; 'I was take to the train' is incorrect—use 'I went by train' or 'I was on the train.' 'Go to one room' is unclear; use 'to a room' if appropriate. Reordering clarifies subject, verb, and time. Suggestions: use correct past tense verbs, passive voice 'was taken' for photos, and clear phrases like 'went by train'.

Incorrect use of articles and prepositions

× Of course I prefer beach or sea.

Of course I prefer the beach or the sea.

When speaking about 'beach' or 'sea' in a general sense, use the definite article 'the' before both nouns: 'the beach' and 'the sea.' Suggestions: include articles when referring to general natural features.

Incorrect use of adverbs/adjectives

× I really love beach so much.

I really love the beach so much.

Missing article 'the' before 'beach' and redundant adverbs: 'really' and 'so much' both express intensity; use one for conciseness (e.g., 'I really love the beach.' or 'I love the beach so much.'). Suggestions: include 'the' and avoid redundant modifiers.

Incorrect use of verbs (verb + -ing/present tense)

× I am feel comfortable and enjoy when I spend time at the sea.

I feel comfortable and enjoy spending time at the sea.

'I am feel' is incorrect; use simple present 'I feel.' After 'enjoy' use the -ing form 'spending.' Suggestions: use 'feel' (not 'am feel') and use gerunds after 'enjoy.'

Past tense issue

× Two years ago I had went to the beach at Bandarand to camp invitation wedding my friends we spent time in there.

Two years ago I went to the beach at Bandarand to camp for my friend's wedding invitation; we spent time there.

Mixed and incorrect past tense forms: 'had went' is wrong—use simple past 'went' (or past perfect 'had gone' but not 'had went'). Word order and missing prepositions: 'to camp invitation wedding my friends' is unclear; clarify as 'to camp for my friend's wedding invitation' or 'for my friend's wedding camping trip.' Remove redundant 'in' in 'in there.' Suggestions: use correct past verb forms ('went' or 'had gone'), include possessive 'friend's', use prepositions like 'for' and avoid redundant words.
