Do you like taking pictures of different views?
Score: 65.0Suggestion: Improve grammatical accuracy and fluency: correct verb forms (e.g., "I like taking" is good but use "I like to take photos on trips"), avoid redundancy, and add a brief specific detail to enrich answer. Keep answers within 3–4 sentences and use linking words to connect ideas.
Example: Yes, I do. I enjoy taking landscape photos with my family when we travel because they help me remember special moments. For example, on our last trip to the coast I took several sunset photos that remind me of that day.
Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: Clarify and organize your response: start with a clear topic sentence, correct grammar ("being close to nature"), avoid contradictory or confusing statements ("That's urban ones" is unclear). Add one specific reason with a linking word to make your answer coherent.
Example: I prefer rural areas. I enjoy rural landscapes because they are peaceful and allow me to be close to nature. For example, when I visit the countryside I can walk in woods and hear birds, which helps me relax.
Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: Make sentences more concise and grammatically correct: correct tense and pluralization ("places"), avoid repeating "so", and use linking words like "because" and "therefore" for clarity. Add a brief specific example of what different views you want to see abroad.
Example: I prefer views in other countries because I visited many places in Taiwan when I was a child and am quite familiar with the scenery there. Therefore, I like to explore different landscapes abroad, such as mountains in New Zealand or historic towns in Europe.
× Actually, I like take the photos in trips and those pictures let me remember that moment.
✓ Actually, I like taking photos on trips, and those pictures help me remember those moments.
The verb 'like' should be followed by the -ing form 'taking' (Grammar Problem Type 8). Use the preposition 'on' with 'trips' (Grammar Problem Type 11). 'Let me remember that moment' is unnatural; 'help me remember those moments' is clearer and matches plural 'pictures'. Also change 'the photos' to 'photos' for naturalness and plural agreement (Grammar Problem Type 1).
× I like going to rural areas because I like the landscapes and I want to being close with nature, so I prefer the nature views.
✓ I like going to rural areas because I like the landscapes and I want to be close to nature, so I prefer natural views.
'Want to' must be followed by the base verb 'be', not 'being' (Grammar Problem Type 8). Use 'close to nature' with preposition 'to' (Grammar Problem Type 11). 'The nature views' is incorrect; use adjective 'natural' with 'views' or 'nature views' without 'the' (Grammar Problem Type 13 and 22).
× That's urban ones.
✓ Those are urban views.
'That's' (that is) is singular but 'ones' refers to plural, causing mismatch; use 'Those are' for plural (Grammar Problem Type 27 and 1). Also 'ones' is vague; 'views' clarifies meaning. Use plural agreement between subject and verb (Grammar Problem Type 27).
× I prefer views in other countries because I visited many different place in Taiwan since I was a child, so I already quite familiar with the scenery here, so I'd like to see different views in other countries.
✓ I prefer views in other countries because I have visited many different places in Taiwan since I was a child, so I am already quite familiar with the scenery here; therefore, I'd like to see different views in other countries.
When indicating an action that started in the past and continues to the present, use present perfect 'have visited' rather than simple past 'visited' (Grammar Problem Type 5/6). 'Place' should be plural 'places' (Grammar Problem Type 1). 'Already quite familiar' needs the verb 'am' (be verb) for correct sentence structure (Grammar Problem Type 6/23). Use a connector like 'therefore' or a semicolon to avoid run-on sentences (Grammar Problem Type 26).
