Part 1
Examiner
Do you like taking pictures of different views?
Candidate
Yes, I do. I really love taking pictures uh, whatever I found really picturesque, whatever I found really fascinating and interesting. Uh, so that's why, uh, my gallery is full of umm, beautiful pictures like buildings, landscape and sceneries like sunsets. So that's why.
Examiner
Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
Candidate
Well, I do prefer both because in this both places I found everything so shake. For example, in urban areas like cities, I take a lot of shots of restaurants, cars building tall buildings and rural areas there are a lot of greener green areas which I love to take photos.
Examiner
Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Candidate
I really like my country's views because in my country there is a lot of beautiful sceneries like tall buildings and umm, a lot of uh, history places, which is really good to take a lot of pictures, yeah.
Do you like taking pictures of different views?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: Be more concise and reduce fillers (uh, umm). Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific examples using linking words. Vary your vocabulary (use 'landscapes', 'architecture', 'sunsets') and avoid repeating ideas. Keep to 2–4 sentences for clarity.
Example: Yes — I enjoy taking photos of interesting views. For example, I often photograph city architecture and coastal sunsets because I like the contrast between man‑made shapes and natural colors. My gallery now contains hundreds of landscapes and building shots that reflect those interests.
Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
Score: 62.0Suggestion: Clarify your main point and correct awkward phrasing ('everything so shake' is unclear). Use a clear linking word (however, while) to compare urban and rural views, and give specific details (e.g., 'street scenes, skyscrapers' vs 'rolling fields, forests'). Limit to 2–3 sentences and check grammar (plural/singular, adjectives).
Example: I prefer both urban and rural views for different reasons. While cities offer dynamic street scenes and striking skyscrapers, the countryside provides rolling fields and forests that capture peaceful light, so I photograph both depending on the mood I want to convey.
Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Score: 64.0Suggestion: Answer directly and avoid vague phrases like 'a lot of'. Use precise vocabulary ('historic sites', 'landmarks') and a linking phrase to explain why you prefer your country's views. Provide one specific example of a place or type of scene to make the answer more concrete and natural.
Example: I prefer the views in my own country because it has many historic sites and diverse urban landmarks. For instance, I often photograph the old town district and its colonial buildings, which offer interesting textures and stories for my photos.
× I really love taking pictures uh, whatever I found really picturesque, whatever I found really fascinating and interesting.
✓ I really love taking pictures of whatever I find really picturesque or fascinating.
The sentence mixes present simple with past 'found'. The speaker is describing a general habit, so use present simple 'find' and reduce redundancy by joining adjectives with 'or'. Also add 'of' after 'pictures'. Suggestion: Use present simple for habits and include 'of' after 'pictures'.
× Uh, so that's why, uh, my gallery is full of umm, beautiful pictures like buildings, landscape and sceneries like sunsets.
✓ So my gallery is full of beautiful pictures of buildings, landscapes and sunsets.
The original has redundant fillers and incorrect noun forms: 'landscape' should be plural 'landscapes' and 'sceneries' is awkward; use 'sunsets' as an example. Use 'pictures of' rather than 'pictures like'. Suggestion: Remove fillers, pluralize nouns when listing multiple items, and use 'pictures of'.
× Well, I do prefer both because in this both places I found everything so shake.
✓ Well, I prefer both because in both places I find everything so diverse.
The speaker is describing a habitual preference, so use present simple 'prefer' and 'find' instead of past 'found'. 'This both places' is incorrect; use 'both places'. 'Shake' is incorrect word choice; likely meant 'varied' or 'diverse'. Suggestion: Use 'prefer' and 'find' for general statements and choose correct adjectives ('diverse' or 'varied').
× For example, in urban areas like cities, I take a lot of shots of restaurants, cars building tall buildings and rural areas there are a lot of greener green areas which I love to take photos.
✓ For example, in urban areas I take a lot of shots of restaurants, cars and tall buildings, while in rural areas there are many green spaces that I love to photograph.
The original lacks parallel structure and punctuation. 'Cars building tall buildings' is jumbled; separate items with commas. Use 'many green spaces' rather than 'greener green areas'. Use 'photograph' as a verb and connect the two clauses with 'while'. Suggestion: List items clearly with commas, maintain parallelism, and use appropriate verbs ('photograph').
× I really like my country's views because in my country there is a lot of beautiful sceneries like tall buildings and umm, a lot of uh, history places, which is really good to take a lot of pictures, yeah.
✓ I really like my country's views because there are many beautiful scenes, such as tall buildings and historic sites, which are great for taking photographs.
'There is a lot of beautiful sceneries' is incorrect: use plural 'there are many beautiful scenes' or 'scenery' uncountable. 'History places' should be 'historic sites'. Also match verb agreement: 'which are great' refers to plural 'scenes/sites'. Use 'photographs' instead of informal 'take a lot of pictures'. Suggestion: Use 'there are' with countable plural nouns or use uncountable 'scenery', and use standard terms like 'historic sites'.
