Do you prefer to sit by the window when travelling?
Điểm: 58.0Gợi ý: Make your answer more concise and fluent. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid repetition and filler words (e.g., repeated 'I' and 'I've'). Also vary vocabulary slightly (e.g., 'scenery' instead of 'all the world') and correct small grammar issues (e.g., 'when I travel' -> 'when I travel' is fine; 'take some pictures of that' -> 'take photos of it').
Ví dụ: Yes, I usually prefer a window seat when I travel because I enjoy watching the scenery. For example, I like looking at mountains and the sea, and I often take photos of interesting views, which helps me remember the trip.
Did you have a long journey with your family as a child?
Điểm: 40.0Gợi ý: Use correct tense and provide clearer, more specific details. Begin with a direct topic sentence in the past tense ('Yes, I did'). Then add one specific example or memory and use linking words to connect ideas. Remove filler words and correct grammar (e.g., 'we spent all our time together').
Ví dụ: Yes, I did. When I was a child my family often took long trips together, and we spent all our time exploring new towns and beaches. For instance, on one holiday we drove along the coast for three days and visited several small villages, which I still remember vividly.
× Yes, I prefer to sit by the window when I travel because I really like to see the mountains, the sea and all the world I feel and to take some pictures of that because I've I've found that I, I find that really interesting.
✓ Yes, I prefer to sit by the window when I travel because I really like to see the mountains, the sea and the rest of the world and to take some pictures of them because I find that really interesting.
Errors: 'all the world I feel' is ungrammatical and unclear; 'all the world' should be 'the rest of the world' or 'the whole world'; 'to take some pictures of that' should match plural 'mountains and sea' so use 'them'; repeated 'I've I've found that I, I find' is redundant. Suggestion: Use clear noun phrases and parallel structure: 'see the mountains, the sea and the rest of the world' and keep verbs consistent: 'to take some pictures of them' and a single clause 'because I find that really interesting.' This fixes issues with incorrect present participle phrasing and redundancy.
× Yes, I have a long journey with my family as a child.
✓ Yes, I had a long journey with my family as a child.
The sentence refers to a past situation ('as a child'), so the present perfect 'have' is incorrect. Use simple past 'had' to match the past time reference. Also 'a long journey' could be plural if multiple journeys were meant; keep singular if referring to one.
× We, my family, we, we, we just spend all whole times together.
✓ My family and I always spent all our time together.
Problems: redundant pronoun repetition ('We, my family, we, we, we') and incorrect verb tense ('spend' present instead of past 'spent'); 'all whole times' is ungrammatical—use 'all our time' or 'all our time together.' Suggestion: Use a single subject phrase 'My family and I' and past tense 'spent' to match 'as a child', and replace phrase with natural collocation 'all our time together.'
