Điểm: 48.0Gợi ý: Your answer shows a clear yes, but pronunciation errors, hesitations and unclear phrasing reduce clarity. Aim for a concise topic sentence, then one specific supporting detail using linking words. Replace vague phrases like “they have me remember” with clear expressions (e.g., “they help me remember special moments”), avoid repetitions, and limit to 2–3 sentences.
Ví dụ: Yes, I do. I enjoy taking photos of different views because they help me remember special moments and places. For example, I often photograph sunsets to capture the colours and the mood.

× I like taking pictures of different views because they have me remember, remember Plex and and moments. Uh, uh.
✓ I like taking pictures of different views because they help me remember places and moments.
The original uses 'have me remember' which is incorrect for expressing assistance; English uses 'help someone (to) do something' or 'help someone do something'. Also 'Plex' is likely a typo for 'places', and repeated words 'and and' and 'remember' are redundant. Use the base verb after 'help' ('help me remember') and correct the noun to 'places'. Suggestion: Use 'help me remember places and moments.'
× To be honest, I prefer views in rural area more than urban areas because in rural rural areas we have and they have a lot of trees and surrounded by birds every day.
✓ To be honest, I prefer views in rural areas more than in urban areas because rural areas have a lot of trees and are surrounded by birds every day.
The phrase 'rural area' should be plural 'rural areas' to match 'views' and 'urban areas'. The clause 'we have and they have' is confusing and ungrammatical; use a single subject 'rural areas' and verb 'have'. Also passive 'surrounded by birds' needs 'are' to form the passive ('are surrounded by birds'). Remove repeated 'rural'. Suggestion: Use consistent plural forms and proper passive construction.
× I prefer views in my country, uh, more than in other countries because in Vietnam we have a lot of incredible sceneries like mountains or the, the sea.
✓ I prefer views in my country more than in other countries because in Vietnam we have a lot of incredible scenery like mountains and the sea.
Use 'scenery' (uncountable) instead of 'sceneries'. Also 'like mountains or the sea' is better as 'like mountains and the sea' when listing typical features. Remove the extra comma and duplicate 'the'. Keep prepositions 'in my country' and 'in other countries' as given. Suggestion: Use uncountable 'scenery' and join items with 'and' for lists.
