Điểm: 72.0Gợi ý: Make the answer more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific details using linking words. Avoid repetition (e.g., "different" used multiple times) and minor grammar errors like "every day's" → "every day". Try to vary vocabulary (e.g., "scenery," "hues," "light").
Ví dụ: Yes, I enjoy photographing different scenes, especially sunsets. For example, every day’s sunset has unique hues and changing light, so I like to capture those subtle differences to show how the sky transforms.
Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
Điểm: 58.0Gợi ý: Give a clear, grammatical topic sentence and support it with two coherent reasons using linking words. Correct sentence structure and word choice (e.g., "I prefer urban areas"; "I can capture people walking to work, playing with their dogs, or socialising"). Avoid filler phrases and repeated words. Use precise verbs and plural/singular agreement.
Ví dụ: I prefer urban views because the city offers lively scenes. For instance, I can photograph people commuting to work, friends socialising in a café, or someone playing with their dog, which makes the photos more dynamic.
Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: Make the topic sentence direct and fix grammar errors ("few"→"views", "in other country"→"in other countries", "aboard"→"abroad"). Provide specific reasons and an example using linking words. Use more suitable adjectives than "funny" (e.g., "exciting," "novel").
Ví dụ: I prefer views in other countries because they feel new and different. For example, having lived in my city for about 20 years, I often photograph familiar scenes at home, but when I travel abroad I enjoy capturing unfamiliar architecture, local street life, and colours that I don’t see at home.
× Yes, I like to take pictures of different views, especially for the sunset.
✓ Yes, I like to take pictures of different views, especially of the sunset.
Use of prepositions: 'of the sunset' is the correct collocation when referring to photographing a sunset. 'For the sunset' implies purpose rather than the object being photographed. Use 'of' to indicate the subject of the picture.
× I like to observe every day's sunset because it's really different and sometimes the color is different too.
✓ I like to observe every day's sunset because it's really different and sometimes the colors are different too.
Adjective/adverb usage and pluralization: 'color' should be plural 'colors' because sunsets often display multiple colors or vary between instances. Also 'every day's sunset' is acceptable but could be simplified to 'the sunset every day' for naturalness; here only the pluralization is corrected per the list.
× To be honest, I prefer the feel in urban areas because sometimes I will capture the photo that pic people walk around and sometimes there are busy go to work and sometimes they are playing with their dog or or their friends with the.
✓ To be honest, I prefer the atmosphere in urban areas because sometimes I can capture photos of people walking around, people rushing to work, or people playing with their dogs or friends.
Sentence structure and word choice: Many fragments and incorrect words ('feel' -> 'atmosphere', 'will capture the photo that pic' -> 'can capture photos of', 'there are busy go to work' -> 'people rushing to work'). Reorganized the sentence to be grammatically correct and coherent, using plural forms and appropriate verbs. Suggestions: simplify clauses, use clear subjects, and choose collocations like 'capture photos of' and 'people walking'.
× Actually, I prefer the few in other country because I live in my city about 20 years, so I'm really familiar with those fields.
✓ Actually, I prefer the view in other countries because I have lived in my city for about 20 years, so I'm really familiar with those places.
Preposition and number errors: 'few' is incorrect; use 'view' or 'scenery'. 'in other country' should be 'in other countries'. Tense and preposition: 'I live in my city about 20 years' should be present perfect 'I have lived in my city for about 20 years' to express duration up to now. 'fields' is incorrect for scenes; use 'places' or 'areas'.
× But when I go aboard I want to capture the different feel of in the other countries because I think it is more funny.
✓ But when I go abroad, I want to capture the different atmosphere in other countries because I think it is more fun.
Preposition and word choice errors: 'aboard' should be 'abroad' meaning overseas. Remove the extra preposition 'of in'. 'feel' -> 'atmosphere'. 'more funny' is unnatural in this context; use 'more fun'. Also 'other countries' (plural) fits better. Suggestions: check commonly confused words (aboard vs abroad) and use collocations like 'capture the atmosphere' and 'more fun'.
