Depends on what kind of views, because if you go to my country, which is Turkey, uh, maybe you will love Turkey's nature because of geography. But if you come to Australia, Australia has different geographic type. So you will, uh, find different types of views. So depends on what you like.
Do you like taking pictures of different views?
Điểm: 62.0Gợi ý: Reduce hesitation and repetition, start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details. Use linking words like "because" or "so" correctly and avoid filler sounds (uh, um). Keep the answer to no more than 3–4 sentences for clarity.
Ví dụ: Yes, I enjoy taking photos of different views because they help me preserve memories of places I visit. For example, when I travel I photograph sunsets and local streets so I can remember the atmosphere later. This means I can revisit those moments on my phone whenever I want.
Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
Điểm: 70.0Gợi ý: Give a direct topic sentence and follow with a specific reason and a brief example. Remove hesitations and grammatical errors ("rather than urban areas", "rural areas are more natural"). Use one linking word like "because" or "so" to connect ideas.
Ví dụ: I prefer rural views rather than urban ones because the countryside is closer to nature and feels calmer. For instance, I like photographing fields and forests since their colors and quiet atmosphere help me relax and create peaceful images.
Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Điểm: 66.0Gợi ý: Start with a clear, direct answer (e.g., "It depends") and then give two contrasting specific examples with linking words like "for example" and "however". Avoid vague phrases and filler words; be concise and precise about differences.
Ví dụ: It depends on what kind of scenery I want. For example, Turkey offers varied landscapes like coastlines and mountains, which I enjoy photographing. However, Australia has unique wide-open deserts and distinctive coastal cliffs, so I would visit there when I want very different scenery.
× I love that because I like to, uh, keep memories in my phone because in the future, I would like to, uh, take a look at my phone, my pictures and I, I want to remember my, umm, memories.
✓ I love that because I like to keep memories on my phone; in the future I would like to look at my pictures and remember those moments.
The original sentence uses awkward phrasing and repetition rather than a specific present participle error; however, the phrase 'keep memories in my phone' is idiomatically incorrect and should be 'keep memories on my phone'. Also redundant fillers and repeated words reduce clarity. Use 'look at my pictures' instead of 'take a look at my phone, my pictures', and 'remember those moments' is more natural. Suggestions: remove filler words, avoid repetition, use 'on' for digital storage and streamline clause structure. Grammar problem type ID:10
× I want to back my past.
✓ I want to revisit my past.
The phrase 'back my past' is ungrammatical; 'back' is not used transitively with 'past' in this sense. Use verbs like 'revisit', 'remember', or 'go back to' plus a prepositional phrase: 'go back to my past' or preferably 'revisit my past'. Suggestion: choose a verb that collocates with 'past' and keep the structure clear. Grammar problem type ID:16
× I do prefer rural areas rather, uh, urban areas because of rural areas are more between, uh, more into nature and that's why if you go to rural areas and take a picture, you will feel more peaceful.
✓ I prefer rural areas rather than urban areas because rural areas are closer to nature, so if you go there and take a picture you will feel more peaceful.
Problems include incorrect connector 'rather' and awkward phrase 'because of rural areas are more between, uh, more into nature'. Use 'rather than' to contrast and 'closer to nature' for natural expression. Also replace 'if you go to rural areas' with 'if you go there' to avoid repetition. Suggestions: use correct contrastive phrase 'rather than', simplify and use natural collocations like 'closer to nature'. Grammar problem type ID:14
× Depends on what kind of views, because if you go to my country, which is Turkey, uh, maybe you will love Turkey's nature because of geography.
✓ It depends on what kind of views you like. If you come to my country, Turkey, you might love its natural scenery because of its geography.
The original begins with a fragment 'Depends on...' without a subject and contains awkward phrasing 'love Turkey's nature because of geography.' Complete the sentence with a subject 'It depends' and use 'you might' for possibility. Use 'its natural scenery' or 'its nature' and specify 'because of its geography' for clarity. Suggestions: always include a subject for clauses and choose natural collocations. Grammar problem type ID:26
× But if you come to Australia, Australia has different geographic type.
✓ But if you come to Australia, you will find a different type of landscape.
'Geographic type' is an awkward noun phrase; use 'type of landscape' or 'different geography'. Also avoid repeating 'Australia' twice; use 'you will find' to connect clauses. Suggestions: use natural noun phrases like 'landscape' or 'geography' and vary sentence subjects to avoid repetition. Grammar problem type ID:13
× So you will, uh, find different types of views. So depends on what you like.
✓ So you will find different kinds of views. It depends on what you like.
The fragment 'So depends on what you like' lacks a subject; use 'It depends' to form a complete sentence. 'Types of views' is acceptable but 'kinds of views' is more natural here. Suggestions: ensure each sentence has a subject and verb; avoid sentence fragments. Grammar problem type ID:6
