Do you prefer the mountains or the sea?
Điểm: 50.0Gợi ý: Give a clear preference or explain that you like both but with conditions. Use coherent linking phrases (e.g., 'if', 'when', 'however'). Correct grammar and phrasing ('depends on the weather', 'if it's sunny I prefer the beach', 'if there's snow I prefer the mountains') and be specific about reasons.
Ví dụ: I like both the sea and the mountains, but it depends on the weather. If it's sunny and warm, I prefer going to the beach to relax and swim; however, if it's cold or snowy, I enjoy the mountains because I can go hiking or try winter sports.
× Yes, I always look at window because I like to watch it out, the nice nature and especially as if it's new country I like to.
✓ Yes, I always look out of the window because I like to watch the nice scenery, and especially when it seems like a new country I like it.
The sentence omits the definite article before 'window' and uses awkward phrasing. Use 'the window' or 'out of the window' (article required). 'Nature' is better phrased as 'scenery' and needs the definite article 'the'. The clause 'as if it's new country I like to' is ungrammatical; rephrase to 'when it seems like a new country I like it.' Also change word order 'look out of the window' and remove redundant 'watch it out'. Suggestions: always include appropriate articles before specific nouns and simplify clauses for clarity.
× There see something new?
✓ Do you see something new?
The original lacks an auxiliary verb and uses incorrect word order. For present simple questions use 'Do' + subject + base verb: 'Do you see something new?'. This fits the question context and corrects sentence structure.
× Yeah, I like to take a photo of the scenery when I look outside of the window because I like to memorize things what I see in my phone by photos.
✓ Yes, I like to take photos of the scenery when I look out of the window because I like to save what I see on my phone as photos.
Use 'look out of the window' (or 'look out the window') rather than 'look outside of the window'. 'Take a photo' can be plural 'take photos' for general habit. 'Memorize' is not the correct verb for saving images; use 'save' or 'remember'. 'What I see' should not be preceded by 'things'. Use 'on my phone' and 'as photos'. Suggestions: use correct prepositions ('out of' or 'out'), pluralize habitual nouns ('photos'), and choose verbs that match meaning ('save' instead of 'memorize').
× I prefer both of them because it's up up to weather.
✓ I prefer both of them because it depends on the weather.
The phrase 'it's up up to weather' is incorrect. Use the impersonal expression 'it depends on the weather'. 'Both of them' is fine, but 'it' must refer correctly to the situation. Suggestion: use fixed expressions like 'it depends on' for dependence on conditions.
× If it's weather good and it's sunshine.
✓ If the weather is good and it's sunny.
Word order and word choice are incorrect. Use 'the weather is good' and the adjective 'sunny' rather than 'it's sunshine'. Keep present simple 'is' for general condition. Suggestion: say 'If the weather is good and it's sunny.'
× So I prefer go to the beach and see if the weather a little bit snow.
✓ So I prefer to go to the beach, and if it snows a little I prefer going to the mountains.
Infinitive 'to go' is required after 'prefer' when followed by a verb. The clause 'the weather a little bit snow' is ungrammatical; use 'if it snows a little' or 'if there is a little snow'. Also clarify contrasting preference by mentioning mountains. Suggestion: use 'prefer to' + base verb or 'prefer' + gerund consistently, and use correct conditional structure for weather.
× I like to go on mountain because mountain can make us catching.
✓ I like to go to the mountains because they make us active and help us breathe fresh air.
Use plural 'mountains' and preposition 'to' rather than 'on'. 'Mountain can make us catching' is meaningless and uses wrong verb; replace with a clear effect like 'make us active' or 'help us relax' or 'help us breathe fresh air'. Use 'they' to agree with plural noun. Suggestion: choose appropriate verbs and ensure pronoun agreement with plural nouns.
