Do you like taking pictures of different views?
Score: 64.0Suggestion: Reduce hesitations and repetition, correct grammar and pronoun use, and make a concise direct topic sentence followed by one or two clear supporting details. Use linking words (for example, “because” or “so”) and avoid filler words like “umm.” Also correct tense and agreement (e.g., “I love life” rather than “loved life”) and pronunciation of key words.
Example: Yes, I do. I love taking photos because they help me remember special moments and the feelings I had at the time. For example, when I look back at holiday pictures I can recall the sights and emotions clearly, so photography is very meaningful to me.
Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: Answer directly with a clear topic sentence stating your preference (or that you like both), avoid incorrect words (“boys”), and use linking phrases to compare (for example, “whereas” or “on the other hand”). Be specific with examples (types of scenes) and correct singular/plural and article use (e.g., “rural areas,” “the big city”). Keep to two or three sentences.
Example: I like both urban and rural views because each offers a different atmosphere. In rural areas I enjoy photographing tranquil landscapes and nature, which feel calming, whereas in the city I focus on modern architecture and busy street scenes that look dynamic and exciting.
Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Score: 50.0Suggestion: Be clear and coherent: start with a direct answer (e.g., “I prefer views in my country for now” or “I don’t have a strong preference yet”). Avoid confusing or incorrect phrases (e.g., “to be feared off”) and reduce repetitions. If you haven’t traveled, say so succinctly and add a brief reason or future intention. Use linking words such as “however” or “in the future.”
Example: I haven’t had the chance to visit other countries yet, so for now I prefer views in my own country because I know them well and can capture familiar scenes. However, I hope to travel abroad one day to photograph different cultures and landscapes, which would broaden my portfolio.
× As a person who loved life, I really love to take photos to umm, remember my life.
✓ As a person who loves life, I really love to take photos to remember my life.
The speaker uses 'loved' (past tense) but is describing an ongoing preference; present simple 'loves' matches 'I really love'. Also remove unnecessary filler 'umm' and comma placement; 'to remember my life' is the correct infinitive phrase. Grammar problem type ID: 6
× You know photos can repre represent most things.
✓ You know, photos can represent most things.
The verb was mispronounced 'repre represent'; correct verb is 'represent'. Adding a comma after 'You know' improves fluency. This fixes a sentence structure and word usage error. Grammar problem type ID: 26
× When you see those photos will they will recall the emotion at that time.
✓ When you see those photos, they will recall the emotions of that time.
The original has incorrect word order and duplicate 'will'. In a conditional time clause 'When you see those photos, they will ...' is correct. 'Emotion' is better plural 'emotions' and 'of that time' is a clearer prepositional phrase. Grammar problem type ID:26
× I like both boys because they have different styles.
✓ I like both because they have different styles.
The student used 'boys' incorrectly; likely meant 'both' (urban and rural). Removing 'boys' corrects pronoun/noun misuse. Ensure referent 'both' is clear from context. Grammar problem type ID:12
× In rural area, I can take so many beautiful scenery photos which are so calming and soothing.
✓ In rural areas, I can take so many beautiful scenic photos which are calming and soothing.
Use plural 'areas' for general reference and change 'scenery photos' to 'scenic photos' (adjective form). Remove redundant 'so' before adjectives for conciseness. Grammar problem type ID:1
× But in the big city I can take so many photos of modern structures which is exciting.
✓ But in the big city I can take many photos of modern structures, which are exciting.
'So many' is acceptable but 'many' is more natural; 'structures' is plural so the relative clause requires 'which are' not 'which is'. Adding a comma improves readability. Grammar problem type ID:27
× Actually, I haven't been to other countries before, but I really know to visit one of of them today, one of them one day and uh, to be feared off.
✓ Actually, I haven't been to other countries before, but I really want to visit one of them one day; I find them fascinating.
'Know to visit' is incorrect — use 'want to visit'. Remove duplicate 'of'. 'Today' conflicts with 'one day' so keep 'one day'. 'To be feared off' is incorrect and unclear; likely meant 'fascinating' or 'I'm eager to go'. Use clear adjective 'fascinating'. Also remove filler 'uh'. Grammar problem type ID:6
× I love both countries. I love adding a view of those countries because they are really beautiful.
✓ I love both countries. I enjoy seeing the views of those countries because they are really beautiful.
'Adding a view of' is incorrect; 'seeing the views' or 'enjoying the views' conveys intended meaning. Use 'enjoy' for preference. Article use corrected to 'the views' for specific scenery. Grammar problem type ID:11
