Do you prefer to sit by the window when travelling?
Điểm: 58.0Gợi ý: Ответ в целом выражает предпочтение и содержит причину, однако начало ответа неясно: фразу «It's if it's about to fly aboard» нужно заменить на прямое «Yes, especially when I'm flying». Избегайте заполнителей «uh» и повторов вроде «outside» и «wonderful world outside». Используйте правильную грамматику: «if it's raining», а не «if it's rain». Для более связного ответа добавьте контраст с помощью «however» или «if», а также конкретную причину, например возможность любоваться пейзажем.
Ví dụ: Yes, especially when I’m flying. I enjoy sitting by the window because I can look at the scenery from above and watch the plane take off and land. However, if it’s raining or I’m tired, I usually prefer an aisle seat so that I can sleep more comfortably.
Did you have a long journey with your family as a child?
Điểm: 45.0Gợi ý: Ответ пытается сравнить детство и подростковый возраст, но он не отвечает на вопрос достаточно ясно: начните с прямого «No, not when I was a child». Фраза «I was in a calendar» непонятна; необходимо использовать точное выражение, например «I travelled across the country» или «I went on a long road trip». Завершите незаконченные фразы и объясните, почему поездка была запоминающейся: укажите место, длительность, транспорт или конкретное впечатление. Избегайте большого количества «uh» и повторов; свяжите идеи словами «however», «although» и «because».
Ví dụ: No, not when I was a child. However, when I was a teenager, my family and I went on a long road trip across the country. It was tiring because we spent several days in the car, but it was also memorable because we visited new places and spent a lot of time together.
× It's if it's, uh, about to fly aboard.
✓ If I am flying abroad, I would like to look outside and see the wonderful world outside.
The original sentence has an incomplete and confused structure. The conditional clause should have a clear subject and verb: If I am flying abroad. The word abroad is also the correct word for travel to another country; however, this correction focuses on making the sentence grammatically complete.
× But if it's rain, I would like to just sleep.
✓ But if it rains, I would just like to sleep.
After if, use the present simple to describe a possible general condition. Because rain is a verb here, it must be in the third-person singular form rains with the subject it.
× As a child, no, but when I was, uh, like teenager, I was in a calendar.
✓ As a child, no, but when I was, uh, like a teenager, I was in a calendar.
The singular countable noun teenager requires an article. Use a before teenager because the speaker is referring to one person at a particular stage of life.
× It was definitely hard to, but for me it's uh, the, my background, my past, so it was good.
✓ It was definitely hard, but for me, it was part of my background and my past, so it was good.
The phrase hard to is incomplete because it is not followed by a verb. The sentence also contains several interrupted and disconnected phrases. Removing the incomplete to and connecting the ideas with a clear structure makes the sentence grammatical.
× It was definitely hard to, but for me it's uh, the, my background, my past, so it was good.
✓ It was definitely hard, but for me, it was part of my background and my past, so it was good.
The answer describes a past experience, so the present form it's should be changed to the past form it was. Keeping the verbs in the past tense makes the time reference consistent.
