Do you like taking pictures of different views?
Score: 65.0Suggestion: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, correct grammar (e.g., 'one of my favorite hobbies'), avoid fillers like 'uh', and limit to up to 4–5 sentences. Add a brief specific detail about what you enjoy photographing and why to make the answer more informative and fluent.
Example: Yes, I enjoy photographing different views. It’s one of my favorite hobbies and I’m currently developing it as a skill for my future career. I particularly like wide landscape shots of coastlines because they capture light and scale well, and I often experiment with different times of day to get the best atmosphere.
Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: Begin with a direct topic sentence, use correct grammar (e.g., 'urban areas are'), and connect ideas with linking words such as 'however' or 'because'. Provide one specific example of what you like in rural areas to strengthen the answer.
Example: I prefer views in rural areas. Urban areas are more convenient for photography because of lighting and amenities; however, I like rural scenes more because they feel more natural and have cleaner air. For example, I enjoy photographing misty fields in the early morning when there’s little noise and the light is soft.
Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Give a clear, grammatical topic sentence and avoid repetition. Use linking words like 'because' or 'although' to explain reasons, and include a specific example of a foreign view you found interesting or how it differed culturally from your country.
Example: I prefer views in other countries because they offer different cultural landscapes and architectural styles. Although views at home are familiar and easy to visit, travelling lets me see unique scenes—for instance, I loved photographing colorful street markets in Morocco because the patterns and people were very different from those I see at home.
× This is one of my favorite hobby and uh new skill that I'm learning and focusing on to my career in my future.
✓ This is one of my favorite hobbies and a new skill that I'm learning and focusing on for my future career.
'One of my favorite hobby' is incorrect because 'one of' requires a plural noun, so 'hobby' should be plural 'hobbies'. Also 'and uh new skill' needs an article 'a' before 'new skill'. The phrase 'focusing on to my career in my future' is awkward and ungrammatical; use 'focusing on for my future career' or 'focusing on my future career'. Suggestion: use plural after 'one of', include appropriate articles, and use correct preposition 'for' with 'career'.
× I would say urban areas is more convenient, but I prefer rural areas.
✓ I would say urban areas are more convenient, but I prefer rural areas.
The subject 'urban areas' is plural, so the verb should be 'are' instead of 'is'. This is a subject-verb agreement in the present tense. Suggestion: match verb number to plural subject (areas -> are).
× It's much more naturally.
✓ It's much more natural.
'Naturally' is an adverb; the sentence needs an adjective to describe 'it' (a noun or situation), so 'natural' is correct. Using 'much more' with an adverb is possible but here meaning requires adjective. Suggestion: use 'natural' to describe the quality of the area.
× And no, no such air pollutions there and less sound pollution as well.
✓ And no, there is no air pollution there and there is less noise pollution as well.
'Air pollutions' is incorrect; 'pollution' is an uncountable noun and should be singular without 'such' or use 'such pollution'. Additionally 'sound pollution' is better phrased as 'noise pollution'. The sentence also lacks appropriate verb 'there is'. Suggestion: use uncountable noun forms and include 'there is' for existence statements.
× I would say views in other countries cause views in other countries lead to different cultural things and in my country I've I can go easily and in foreign countries is much more beautiful I guess.
✓ I would say views in other countries expose you to different cultures. In my country I can travel easily, but foreign countries are much more beautiful, I guess.
Original sentence is repetitive and ungrammatical. 'Cause views in other countries lead to different cultural things' is redundant and unclear. 'I've I can go easily' mixes contractions and verbs incorrectly. Also 'in foreign countries is much more beautiful' lacks subject-verb agreement. Suggestion: simplify into clear sentences: state the idea that other countries offer different cultural experiences, correct verb forms and subject-verb agreement, and separate ideas into two sentences for clarity.
