Part 1
Examiner
Do you like taking pictures of different views?
Candidate
Yes, I like taking pictures of different views including cityscape and landscape. When I go to the rural areas I usually take the pictures of mountains while when I am in the cities I take take photos of high rise buildings or architectures.
Examiner
Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
Candidate
I prefer views in the countryside because the patterns and the colors of nature are very inspiring for me. The rolling fields, trees, and changing seasons feel more peaceful and refreshing than busy city streets, and they help me relax and think more clearly.
Examiner
Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Candidate
I prefer views in other countries because they are much different and inspirational. For example, when I go to the United States, I can see comprehensively different landscape, which is not found in Japan.
Do you like taking pictures of different views?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: Your answer is clear and directly addresses the question, but it has minor repetition and some grammatical issues ("take take", "architectures"). Keep answers concise (max 5 sentences), add a linking word to improve flow, and include a brief specific example to enrich content.
Example: Yes, I enjoy photographing different views, especially both cityscapes and landscapes. For example, when I visit the countryside I usually photograph mountain ranges and rivers, whereas in the city I focus on high-rise buildings and bridges. This variety helps me practice different composition techniques.
Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
Score: 88.0Suggestion: Good use of descriptive vocabulary and clear comparison. To improve further, add a short linking phrase and a concrete example or brief personal anecdote to make it more vivid and natural, while keeping it concise.
Example: I prefer countryside views because the patterns and colors of nature are very inspiring. For instance, walking through rolling fields in autumn, with golden crops and colorful trees, feels much more peaceful than noisy city streets and helps me relax and think clearly.
Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Score: 74.0Suggestion: Your idea is relevant, but the answer is somewhat vague and has awkward phrasing ("comprehensively different landscape"). Improve by giving one specific contrast and avoiding general words; use a linking word and correct grammar.
Example: I prefer views in other countries because they often offer landscapes I haven't seen at home. For example, in the United States I enjoyed vast canyons and wide deserts, which are quite different from the mountains and rivers I usually see in Japan.
× Yes, I like taking pictures of different views including cityscape and landscape.
✓ Yes, I like taking pictures of different views, including cityscapes and landscapes.
Use of present participle 'taking' is fine but countable nouns 'cityscape' and 'landscape' here should be plural when referring to types in general. Add a comma before 'including' for clarity. Suggestion: pluralize to match general reference and punctuate correctly.
× When I go to the rural areas I usually take the pictures of mountains while when I am in the cities I take take photos of high rise buildings or architectures.
✓ When I go to rural areas, I usually take pictures of mountains, while when I am in cities I take photos of high-rise buildings or architectural structures.
Errors: unnecessary definite article 'the' before general plural nouns ('rural areas', 'cities', 'pictures'); repeated word 'take'; 'high rise' should be hyphenated as 'high-rise'; 'architectures' is incorrect as a plural noun in this context — use 'architectural structures' or 'architecture'. Also add commas to separate clauses. Suggestion: remove 'the' for general statements, fix repetition, hyphenate compound adjective, and use correct noun form.
× I prefer views in the countryside because the patterns and the colors of nature are very inspiring for me.
✓ I prefer views in the countryside because the patterns and colors of nature are very inspiring to me.
'Inspiring for me' is understandable but 'inspiring to me' is more natural. Also drop the second 'the' before 'colors' for parallel structure. Suggestion: use 'to me' for personal reactions and keep parallel noun phrases.
× The rolling fields, trees, and changing seasons feel more peaceful and refreshing than busy city streets, and they help me relax and think more clearly.
✓ Rolling fields, trees, and changing seasons feel more peaceful and refreshing than busy city streets, and they help me relax and think more clearly.
Minor style: drop 'The' for a general statement to sound more natural. The rest is grammatically fine. Suggestion: use zero article for general plural subjects.
× I prefer views in other countries because they are much different and inspirational.
✓ I prefer views in other countries because they are very different and inspirational.
'Much different' is nonstandard in this context; 'very different' or 'quite different' is preferred. 'Inspirational' is acceptable, but ensure parallel adjective use. Suggestion: replace 'much' with 'very' for natural adjective modification.
× For example, when I go to the United States, I can see comprehensively different landscape, which is not found in Japan.
✓ For example, when I go to the United States, I can see a comprehensively different landscape, which is not found in Japan.
Countable noun 'landscape' needs an article 'a' when modified by 'comprehensively different'. However, 'comprehensively different' is awkward; better alternatives are 'completely different' or 'a very different landscape'. Also 'which is not found in Japan' refers to 'landscape'—it's clearer to say 'which I don't find in Japan'. Suggestion: use 'a' with singular countable nouns and prefer 'completely different' or rephrase for clarity.
