Gợi ý: Reduce hesitations and repetition, make a clear topic sentence, and add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Keep answers concise (max 5 sentences). For example, replace fillers like “uh” and repeated words with pauses or a single emphasis, and use a linking phrase (e.g., “However,” “Nevertheless,” “For example”) to connect ideas.

Ví dụ: I don't often take photos, but when I see something breathtaking I will take a picture. For example, on a recent hike I photographed a dramatic valley at sunset because the light highlighted the cliffs. Nevertheless, I usually prefer taking portraits of friends and family.

Gợi ý: Make a clear direct statement first, avoid filler words, and organize supporting details with linking words. Be specific about what you like (e.g., colors, light, atmosphere) and limit repetition. Use one or two concrete examples or reasons to support your preference.

Ví dụ: I prefer rural and coastal views to urban scenes. I especially enjoy photographing the sea at sunrise because the soft light and calm water create vivid colors. For instance, last summer I captured the pink and orange hues reflecting off the waves, which made the picture feel peaceful.

Gợi ý: Start with a clear answer (own country or other countries), reduce repetition, and give specific comparisons with linking words. Mention one or two concrete places or experiences and explain why they make your country special to photograph. Avoid vague exclamations like “Amazing” without support.

Ví dụ: I prefer views in my own country because it offers a wide variety of landscapes. For example, in the north we have snowy mountains ideal for winter photography, while in the south there are desert sand dunes that create striking compositions. This diversity allows me to capture many different moods without traveling abroad.

× I prefer taking pictures of my of myself instead.

✓ I prefer taking pictures of myself instead.

The phrase contains an extra possessive 'my' before 'myself', which is redundant and ungrammatical. Use the reflexive pronoun 'myself' alone after 'pictures of' to indicate the subject and object are the same. Suggestion: remove 'my of' so the sentence reads 'I prefer taking pictures of myself instead.'

× I do definitely prefer rural areas, but honestly I prefer uh, sea.

✓ I definitely prefer rural areas, but honestly I prefer the sea.

Placement of 'definitely' is awkward; moving it before the verb yields a more natural adverb position. 'Sea' needs the definite article 'the' when referring to the sea in general. Suggestion: say 'I definitely prefer rural areas, but honestly I prefer the sea.'

× When we go to the sea, I really love the view, the sun, sunset, sunrise, uh, sun.

✓ When we go to the sea, I really love the view: the sun, the sunset, and the sunrise.

List items need parallel structure and articles. Repeating 'sun' is redundant. Use commas and 'and' for a clear list and include 'the' before each noun for consistency. Suggestion: 'the sun, the sunset, and the sunrise.'

× So I prefer taking pictures of the ocean or sea.

✓ So I prefer taking pictures of the ocean or the sea.

Parallel nouns in a coordination should both take the article 'the' for clarity. Alternatively use one word: 'the ocean' or 'the sea.' Suggestion: 'the ocean or the sea.'

× This is a good question because my country is really, really rich.

✓ This is a good question because my country is really rich.

Repeating 'really' is informal and redundant; grammatically it's allowed but stylistically poor. Suggestion: use a single 'really' for concision: 'really rich.'

× It contains all areas from different places in the world.

✓ It contains areas similar to different places in the world.

'All areas from different places' is unclear. To express similarity to various world regions, use 'areas similar to different places' or 'regions similar to those in other parts of the world.' Suggestion: 'It contains areas similar to different places in the world.'

× For example, we have snow like Russia, we have sand like the desert of Arabia, Saudi.

✓ For example, we have snow like Russia, and sand like the deserts of Saudi Arabia.

'Desert of Arabia, Saudi' is incorrect word order and singular/plural mismatch. Use 'deserts' if referring to desert regions and correct country name order 'Saudi Arabia.' Also add 'and' to connect clauses. Suggestion: 'snow like Russia, and sand like the deserts of Saudi Arabia.'

× We have a mixture of climates. Amazing.

✓ We have a mixture of climates. It's amazing.

'Amazing' alone is a sentence fragment used informally; to be grammatically complete, add a subject and verb: 'It's amazing.' Suggestion: 'We have a mixture of climates. It's amazing.'
