Điểm: 58.0Gợi ý: Give a concise direct answer then two clear reasons linked with 'because' or 'so'. Fix word choices and grammar (e.g. 'scared of heights', 'less secure' or 'more expensive').

× Yes, there is a tour tower which is located in the Venice, Venice city of the ocean.
✓ Yes, there is a tall tower located in Venice, the city by the ocean.
Incorrect use of 'the' and awkward phrasing. 'There is' is fine but 'the Venice, Venice city of the ocean' is ungrammatical. Use 'Venice' without 'the' and add a clear appositive 'the city by the ocean'. Also 'tour tower' seems to be a mistake for 'tall tower' or 'tourist tower'; choose 'tall tower' to match context.
× It took around 30 minutes to get there from my house and I usually go there when I want to see night view, oceans, oceans view.
✓ It takes around 30 minutes to get there from my house, and I usually go there when I want to see the night view or the ocean view.
Tense inconsistency: 'took' (past) conflicts with habitual 'usually'. Use present simple 'takes' for routine travel time. Also article use: use 'the night view' and 'the ocean view' and avoid repeating 'oceans'. Use conjunction 'or' to list alternatives.
× It's really shiny and beautiful.
✓ It's really bright and beautiful.
'Shiny' often describes reflective surfaces; for a city view or tower illumination, 'bright' or 'glittering' is more natural. This is a stylistic correction rather than strict grammar, improving adjective choice for clarity.
× Yes I do. Taking photos help me to remember the buildings and details otherwise I will I might forget.
✓ Yes, I do. Taking photos helps me remember the buildings and their details; otherwise I might forget.
Subject-verb agreement with a gerund subject: 'Taking photos' is singular, so use 'helps'. Remove redundant 'will I might' and use 'might' for possibility. Use 'remember' without 'to' here and add 'their' for clarity.
× For example, last week I went to Himeji, Joe and I took our top photos which made me memorable.
✓ For example, last week I went to Himeji with Joe, and we took photos that made the trip memorable.
Awkward phrasing and tense/word choice: use 'with Joe' to indicate company. 'Top photos' is unclear; 'photos' suffices. 'Which made me memorable' is wrong: experiences are memorable, not people in this context. Use 'made the trip memorable'.
× Yes, I would like to visit Tokyo Skytree because it offers a panoramic views of the city at night.
✓ Yes, I would like to visit Tokyo Skytree because it offers panoramic views of the city at night.
Article and number agreement: remove 'a' before plural 'views' or change to 'a panoramic view'. Corrected to 'panoramic views' without 'a'.
× You can stay illuminated building from there and moonlit ocean, which I think would be really memorable.
✓ You can see the illuminated building and the moonlit ocean from there, which I think would be really memorable.
Wrong verb and word order: 'stay illuminated building' is ungrammatical. Use 'see' to describe viewing something. Add definite articles 'the' before 'illuminated building' and 'moonlit ocean' and place 'from there' after the objects for natural word order.
× No I don't because I'm scared of being in a high build tall building because it's often not scare secure and expensive than other buildings so I think I cannot afford that.
✓ No, I don't because I'm scared of being in a very tall building; they are often not very secure and are more expensive than other buildings, so I don't think I can afford one.
Multiple errors: word order 'high build tall' should be 'very tall building'. Subject-verb agreement and pronoun consistency: replace 'it's' with 'they are' or rephrase to match plural/general statement. 'Not scare secure' is incorrect; use 'not very secure'. Comparison requires 'more expensive than'. Use 'one' to refer to 'a tall building'. Split into clear clauses and adjust verb forms for correctness.
