Do you like taking pictures of different views?
Điểm: 62.0Gợi ý: Be more concise and grammatically accurate. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details with linking words. Correct verb forms and reduce filler words like “like.”
Ví dụ: Yes, I do. I didn't used to, but recently I’ve started taking photos because they capture moments and help me remember how I felt. For example, when I look at a picture from a family trip, I can recall the sounds and emotions of that day.
Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
Điểm: 55.0Gợi ý: Answer directly and organise details logically. Use correct tense and clearer linking phrases (for example, “for instance” or “also”). Provide one specific example and explain why it matters. Avoid unclear references.
Ví dụ: I prefer rural views because nature is more peaceful and varied. For instance, Taroko Gorge in Hualien used to be one of my favourite places because of its dramatic cliffs and clear rivers; I’m glad I photographed it before the recent earthquake because the photos preserve those memories.

× Yes I do now but I used to not liking it but now I feel like taking a pictures can capture like every moment you have at that time and when you see the pictures you can always recall the memories and feel the same motion and it's touching.
✓ Yes, I do now, but I used to not like it. Now I feel like taking pictures can capture every moment you have, and when you see the pictures you can always recall the memories and feel the same emotion; it's touching.
The original sentence uses 'used to not liking' which wrongly combines 'used to' (which should be followed by the base verb) with a gerund. Use 'used to not like' or preferably 'didn't use to like'. Also 'taking a pictures' mixes singular article 'a' with plural 'pictures' — remove 'a' or make singular 'picture'. 'Like' is overused colloquially and can be reduced. 'Motion' is incorrect word choice; 'emotion' is correct. Suggestions: use 'used to' + base verb, remove incorrect articles, choose correct noun (emotion), and split long run-on sentence into shorter clauses for clarity.
× I would prefer the rural areas like the natural was incredible.
✓ I would prefer rural areas because the natural scenery is incredible.
The original mixes ideas and uses incorrect preposition/connector 'like' and incorrect noun phrase 'the natural was incredible.' Use 'because' to explain preference and 'natural scenery' or 'nature' as the correct noun. Also use present tense 'is' to state a general truth.
× Do you know TA Taroko which is in Hua Lian and it was destroyed in like the last year with the earthquake.
✓ Do you know Taroko, which is in Hualien? It was destroyed by an earthquake last year.
Original is a run-on with informal filler 'like' and incorrect structure 'was destroyed in like the last year with the earthquake.' Use a relative clause 'which is in Hualien' set off by commas, split into two sentences, use 'by an earthquake' (agent or cause) and 'last year' for time. Remove filler 'like'.
× But if you have take the pictures you can record it and it was.
✓ But if you had taken pictures, you could have recorded it.
The conditional is incorrect: 'have take' mixes forms. For past unreal conditional about a past event, use past perfect ('had taken') in the if-clause and 'could have' + past participle in the result. Also 'record it and it was' is incomplete; 'could have recorded it' expresses the intended meaning.
× I would prefer my own country. The view was amazing.
✓ I would prefer my own country. The views are amazing.
'The view was amazing' is singular and past tense, but the speaker wants a general present-tense statement about multiple kinds of views. Use plural 'views' and present tense 'are' for general facts. This corrects pronoun/number and tense agreement.
× We can see different kind of views in Taiwan, like you can see the tropical forest, you can see the snow, there's cliffs, there's beach, there's a lot of geography.
✓ We can see different kinds of views in Taiwan. You can see tropical forests, snow, cliffs, beaches, and a lot of varied landscapes.
Original has quantifier and number errors: 'different kind' should be 'different kinds' or 'different types.' Nouns need appropriate pluralization ('tropical forests', 'cliffs', 'beaches'). 'There's' used before plural nouns is incorrect; use plural forms without 'there's' or use 'there are'. 'A lot of geography' is awkward—'varied landscapes' or 'many geographic features' is better. Suggestions: match quantifiers with correct plural nouns and use parallel structure in lists.
