Part 1

Do you like taking pictures of different views?

Score: 68.0

Suggestion: Your answer is direct and relevant, but some expressions are unnatural and the sentence structure is unclear. Replace “keep many things in my camera” with “capture special moments” and “pick it up” with “look back at the photos.” Use a linking word such as “so” to connect the reason and result. Keep the answer concise and add one specific example.

Example: Yes, I do. I enjoy taking pictures of different views because they help me capture special moments. Later, I can look back at the photos and remember what happened at that time. For example, I often take pictures of beautiful sunsets when I travel.

Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: You clearly state your preference, but “it’s very heritage” and “has a scent of people in old traditions” are not natural expressions. Use vocabulary such as “rich in cultural heritage” and “a strong sense of traditional life.” Improve the structure by giving one main reason and then describing the atmosphere. Avoid fillers such as “you know” and use “when I visit rural areas” instead of “when I enter to the rural area.”

Example: I prefer rural views because they are rich in cultural heritage and offer a peaceful atmosphere. I especially enjoy seeing traditional houses, local markets, and people living a slower-paced life. As a result, I feel relaxed and free whenever I visit the countryside.

Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?

Score: 75.0

Suggestion: Your answer is well organized: you state your preference, give examples, and provide a regional detail. Improve accuracy by saying “views in my own country,” “Koh Samui and Koh Chang,” “in the south of Thailand,” and “beautiful beaches and the sea” instead of “southern of Thailand” and “beaches and oceans.” Replace “very amazing” with a more natural phrase such as “breathtaking” or “stunning.”

Example: I prefer views in my own country because Thailand has many beautiful places, such as Koh Samui and Koh Chang. For example, in the south of Thailand, you can find stunning beaches, clear water, and beautiful islands. I also enjoy these places because they allow me to appreciate my country’s natural scenery.

Grammar

26: Sentence structure errors

× Yes, I do. I like to take pictures in different ways because it can keep many things in my camera, when I realize it, I can pick it up to see what happened at that time.

✓ Yes, I do. I like taking pictures of different views because I can keep many memories in my camera. When I look at them, I can see what happened at that time.

The original response joins several independent clauses with commas, creating a run-on sentence. Separate the ideas into complete sentences and use a conjunction or a full stop to connect them correctly.

12: Incorrect use of pronouns

× When I realize it, I can pick it up to see what happened at that time.

✓ When I look at them, I can see what happened at that time.

The pronouns it and it are unclear because the speaker is referring to multiple pictures. Use the plural pronoun them to refer clearly to the pictures.

13: Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× I prefer views of rural areas because it's very heritage.

✓ I prefer views of rural areas because they are very traditional.

Heritage is usually a noun, so it cannot function as the adjective describing the views. Use the adjective traditional to describe places connected with old customs and culture.

27: Subject-verb agreement errors

× I prefer views of rural areas because it's very heritage, you know, and has a scent of people in old traditions.

✓ I prefer views of rural areas because they are very traditional, you know, and have a sense of old traditions.

The subject is views, which is plural. Therefore, use the plural verbs are and have instead of the singular forms is and has.

26: Sentence structure errors

× I prefer views of rural areas because it's very heritage, you know, and has a scent of people in old traditions just very relaxed and feel free when I enter to the rural area.

✓ I prefer views of rural areas because they are very traditional and have a sense of old traditions. I feel very relaxed and free when I enter a rural area.

The original sentence contains too many ideas joined without a clear structure. Divide it into two complete sentences, each with a clear subject and verb.

11: Incorrect use of prepositions

× When I enter to the rural area, I feel very relaxed and free.

✓ When I enter a rural area, I feel very relaxed and free.

The verb enter is followed directly by a place, so do not use the preposition to after enter. Say enter a rural area, not enter to a rural area.

11: Incorrect use of prepositions

× When you go to southern of Thailand, you can see many beaches and oceans that are very amazing.

✓ When you go to the south of Thailand, you can see many beaches and oceans that are very beautiful.

The correct prepositional phrase is the south of Thailand. The phrase southern of Thailand is not grammatically correct because southern is an adjective, whereas south is the noun needed in this structure.

17: Incorrect use of the definite article

× When you go to southern of Thailand, you can see many beaches and oceans that are very amazing.

✓ When you go to the south of Thailand, you can see many beaches and oceans that are very beautiful.

Use the definite article the before south when referring to a specific region of a country: the south of Thailand.
