Do you like taking pictures of different views?
Điểm: 62.0Gợi ý: Your answer is natural and shows enthusiasm, but it is brief and has some grammatical errors. Start with a clear topic sentence, correct grammar (plural/singular and articles), and add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. For example, mention where or when you take photos and why you enjoy it.
Ví dụ: Yes, I do. I love taking photos of landscapes, especially sunrises and sunsets, because the light and colors are always changing. For example, I often go to the riverside in the early morning to capture the reflection on the water.
Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
Điểm: 50.0Gợi ý: Your response answers the question but contains grammar mistakes and repetition. Give a clear topic sentence, correct the tense and structure, and add a specific reason using a linking word (because/so) to support your preference for rural views.
Ví dụ: I like both, but I feel especially drawn to rural areas because they are quieter and the natural scenes feel more peaceful. For instance, I enjoy photographing farmland and old villages where I can capture everyday life and open landscapes.
Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Điểm: 55.0Gợi ý: Your answer is understandable but informal and slightly unstructured. Provide a direct topic sentence, correct modal verb usage, and give a brief reason comparing the two. Use linking words (however/but) to make the contrast clear.
Ví dụ: I would like to see landscapes in other countries for variety, but I also appreciate the views at home. For example, foreign scenery might offer unique architecture, however my country has beautiful mountains and coastlines that I enjoy photographing.
× Yeah, this is my hobby, taking picture of the sunshine, the sunset.
✓ Yeah, this is my hobby: taking pictures of the sunshine and the sunset.
The noun 'picture' should be plural 'pictures' because the hobby involves taking multiple pictures (singular/plural issue). Also use 'taking + noun' as a gerund phrase (verb + -ing) to describe a hobby; add 'and' to connect items and a colon for clarity. Suggestion: use 'taking pictures of the sunshine and the sunset' to be grammatical and natural.
× Both are good but I'm have something special to the to the rural areas.
✓ Both are good, but I have something special for the rural areas.
The phrase 'I'm have' is ungrammatical because two verbs are combined incorrectly; use either 'I'm' + present participle or 'I have'. This is a subject-verb agreement/structure error. Also 'to the to the' repeats and 'special to the rural areas' should be 'special for the rural areas' or 'a special feeling for rural areas.' Suggestion: use 'I have something special for the rural areas' or 'I feel a special connection to rural areas.'
× Uh, I wish I can see the views and the other country, but actually the views in my country are also good.
✓ Uh, I wish I could see the views in other countries, but actually the views in my country are also good.
After 'I wish' we use a past modal ('could') to express an unreal or hypothetical desire about ability in the present or future; 'can' is incorrect here. Also 'the other country' is awkward; use plural 'other countries' or 'another country.' Suggestion: use 'I wish I could see the views in other countries' to express the desire correctly.
