Do you prefer to sit by the window when travelling?
Điểm: 48.0Gợi ý: Be direct and concise: start with a clear topic sentence stating your preference, then give one or two specific reasons. Use correct grammar (e.g., 'It depends' not 'It's depend') and simple linking words (because, so) to connect ideas. Keep answers under five sentences and avoid unclear phrases like 'when I travelled so I have problem.' Also be more specific about the problem and the comfort you get from the window seat.
Ví dụ: I prefer to sit by the window when I travel. Because I enjoy looking at the scenery, a window seat lets me relax and watch the road or landscape. Also, having the window gives me more personal space and a place to rest my head, which makes long trips more comfortable.
Did you have a long journey with your family as a child?
Điểm: 42.0Gợi ý: Answer directly in past tense for childhood experiences and give a clear, specific example. Begin with a topic sentence (Yes, I did.), then add one or two concrete details such as where you travelled, who went with you, how long the trip was, and one memorable moment. Use linking words (for example, because, so) and avoid filler words (uh, so).
Ví dụ: Yes, I did. For example, when I was ten my family and I drove for two days to visit my grandparents in another city. We travelled together by car, shared driving duties, and I remember stopping at a lake where we had a picnic — that made the long journey very enjoyable.
× It's depend on people choice but I prefer to myself.
✓ It depends on people's choice, but I prefer to sit by the window.
Error: 'It's depend' uses base verb instead of third person singular present; also 'people choice' needs possessive and 'prefer to myself' is incorrect phrase. Correction: use 'depends' for subject-verb agreement, 'people's choice' for possessive, and a natural phrase 'prefer to sit by the window'. Suggestion: Always match verb form to subject and use possessive for nouns showing ownership; use natural collocations for preferences.
× I want window seat because I want to see the view of the road and when I travelled so I have problem.
✓ I want a window seat because I want to see the view of the road, and when I travel I have problems.
Errors: missing article before 'window seat' and tense inconsistency ('travelled' past vs general statement). Also 'have problem' needs plural or an article. Correction: use 'a window seat', use simple present 'travel' for habitual situations, and 'problems' or 'a problem'. Suggestion: Use articles with singular countable nouns and keep tense consistent for general habits.
× I need a space so from window side I can see outside for comfortable.
✓ I need some space so I can see outside from the window comfortably.
Errors: awkward preposition order 'from window side' and wrong word order 'for comfortable'. Correction: place prepositional phrase 'from the window' after the verb and use the adverb 'comfortably' at the end. Suggestion: Place prepositional phrases where they clearly modify the verb and use adverbs instead of adjectives for manner.
× Uh, yes, that definitely I have and I had a, a good journey with my family from, I am now 27 years old.
✓ Yes, I definitely have; I took many good journeys with my family. I am now 27 years old.
Errors: mixed and awkward tense and structure: 'that definitely I have' is incorrect word order; 'had a, a good journey from, I am now 27 years old' mixes time references improperly. Correction: use clear past tense 'I took many good journeys' and state current age separately. Suggestion: Keep clauses separate when giving past experiences and present facts; use proper word order (subject before verb).
× So from uh, my childhood to till the Today, we have a very long journey.
✓ So from my childhood until today, we have taken many long journeys.
Errors: 'to till the Today' is ungrammatical and 'we have a very long journey' mixes singular noun with present perfect when plural experiences are intended. Correction: use 'from my childhood until today' and present perfect 'have taken many long journeys' to describe repeated experiences up to now. Suggestion: Use 'until' for time span, and present perfect progressive/ perfect with plural nouns for repeated past actions continuing to present.
