Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
Thí sinh
Well for me both have their own unique features. Like urban areas have insanely good infrastructures to take pictures of whereas rural areas have a beautiful scenery for relaxation. So when I want to do something very full of energy, I go for urban areas and when I want to relax I go for rural.

Do you like taking pictures of different views?
Điểm: 78.0Gợi ý: Reduce redundancy and improve sentence structure: start with a clear topic sentence, use one or two supporting details, and avoid repeating the same idea. Use linking words to connect ideas and correct small grammatical issues (e.g., “all for also for memories” → “mainly to keep memories”). Keep the answer to no more than five sentences.
Ví dụ: Yes — I love taking pictures of different views. I have enjoyed visiting tourist attractions since childhood and always carried a small camera to capture moments. For example, I use a digital camera or Polaroid to record special scenes, mainly to keep memories and share them with family.
Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
Điểm: 84.0Gợi ý: Make the response more cohesive and natural: begin with a clear preference or balanced view, use linking words (however, while, therefore) and more precise vocabulary (infrastructure, scenery). Avoid informal phrases like “insanely good” in formal test. Provide one brief example to illustrate each choice.
Ví dụ: I like both, because they offer different photographic opportunities. Urban areas provide impressive architecture and modern infrastructure, which is great for energetic shoots; by contrast, rural areas offer peaceful scenery and natural light ideal for relaxed photos. Therefore I choose the location depending on the mood I want to capture.
Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Điểm: 72.0Gợi ý: Clarify and organize the answer: state your preference clearly, give specific reasons and avoid fragmented sentences. Correct grammar and remove informal filler (e.g., “ha”, repeated words). Mention a specific example of what you like abroad and what you appreciate at home to show balance.
Ví dụ: I prefer views in other countries because I enjoy seeing diverse architecture and well-developed urban landmarks. However, Bangladesh also has lovely rural landscapes and unique local attractions that I appreciate. For instance, I love photographing historic buildings abroad for their design, while at home I enjoy capturing peaceful river scenes and traditional villages.
× Yes I definitely love taking pictures of different views because ever since I was a child I have been very fond of going to tourist attraction places and I always had this one mini camera with a Polaroid or maybe a digital camera to take pictures because that is what I love and it's all for also for memories.
✓ Yes, I definitely love taking pictures of different views because ever since I was a child I have enjoyed visiting tourist attractions and I always had a small camera, either a Polaroid or a digital one, to take photos for memories.
This sentence has several issues: awkward tense/word choice ('have been very fond of going to' is wordy; use 'have enjoyed visiting'), article and noun form errors ('tourist attraction places' should be 'tourist attractions'), redundant phrases ('that is what I love and it's all for also for memories' is repetitive and ungrammatical), and word order ('a small camera' is more natural than 'this one mini camera'). Suggest using concise, natural verbs (present perfect 'have enjoyed') and correct noun forms and articles; remove redundancies and choose clearer vocabulary (photos instead of pictures for variation).
× Well for me both have their own unique features.
✓ Well, for me, both have their own unique features.
Mainly punctuation and small style: grammatically the sentence is acceptable, but add commas for clarity. No change in verb agreement is required. If 'both' refers to 'urban and rural areas' it's correct to say 'have their own unique features.' Provide commas to improve readability.
× Like urban areas have insanely good infrastructures to take pictures of whereas rural areas have a beautiful scenery for relaxation.
✓ For example, urban areas have very impressive infrastructure to photograph, whereas rural areas offer beautiful scenery for relaxation.
Use 'infrastructure' as an uncountable noun (not 'infrastructures') and choose a more appropriate modifier ('insanely' is informal; use 'very impressive'). 'A beautiful scenery' is incorrect because 'scenery' is uncountable; use 'beautiful scenery' or 'a beautiful landscape.' Also adjust word order: 'infrastructure to photograph' or 'to take photos of' is clearer.
× So when I want to do something very full of energy, I go for urban areas and when I want to relax I go for rural.
✓ So when I want to do something energetic, I go to urban areas, and when I want to relax, I go to rural areas.
'Very full of energy' is awkward; use 'energetic.' Use correct preposition 'go to' not 'go for' when referring to places. Also 'rural' needs the noun 'areas' for parallelism. Add commas for clarity.
× I would probably prefer views in other countries since Bangladesh is still very underdeveloped but still ha.
✓ I would probably prefer views in other countries since Bangladesh is still relatively underdeveloped.
Remove the extraneous 'but still ha' which is nonstandard and likely a hesitation. Use 'relatively underdeveloped' for a gentler, grammatical adjective phrase. Tense 'would probably prefer' is appropriate for expressing preference; keep present reference to Bangladesh's condition using 'is still.'
× It has really beautiful rural areas visit tourist attractions.
✓ It has really beautiful rural areas and many tourist attractions to visit.
Original is a fragment lacking proper conjunctions and infinitive structure. Add 'and' to connect ideas and use the infinitive phrase 'to visit' after 'tourist attractions' to make the purpose clear. Maintain present-tense 'has.'
× Whereas in other countries they are more developed and they're more.
✓ Whereas other countries are more developed and have more infrastructure and impressive architecture.
Avoid using vague 'they are more' which is incomplete. Replace with a clear subject and list: 'have more infrastructure and impressive architecture.' Ensure parallel structure and complete ideas. Use plural 'countries are' not 'in other countries they are' for concision.
× They have a lot of other infrastructures and architecture which is amazing.
✓ They have a lot more infrastructure and impressive architecture, which is amazing.
Use 'infrastructure' as uncountable, so 'a lot of other infrastructures' is incorrect; better: 'a lot more infrastructure.' 'Architecture' is uncountable here; add adjective 'impressive' for clarity. Include comma before 'which' for the nonrestrictive clause.
