Điểm: 72.0Gợi ý: Відповідь загалом природна, але містить повтори, кілька граматичних помилок та зайві слова. Працюйте над скороченням речень до максимум 3–4 ліній, усуньте повтори (наприклад, 'and and', 'take a large amount of photos') і виправте артиклі та велику літеру в 'Mountain View'.

× I'm a big fan of taking pictures and when I see something beautiful I can take a large amount of photos.
✓ I'm a big fan of taking pictures, and when I see something beautiful I take a large number of photos.
The phrase 'large amount of photos' is incorrect because 'amount' is used for uncountable nouns. Use 'number' for countable nouns like 'photos'. Also remove unnecessary modal 'can' which alters meaning; present simple 'I take' fits habitual action. Suggested improvement: use 'a large number of' for many countable items and choose appropriate tense for habitual actions.
× My parents live in the village, it is called Hota and and from their house you can enjoy Mountain View and it feels so peaceful when you see that and it calms you down.
✓ My parents live in a village called Hota, and from their house you can enjoy the mountain view; it feels so peaceful and calming.
Run-on sentence and capitalization: combine clauses properly using conjunctions or punctuation. Use 'a village called Hota' rather than 'the village, it is called'. 'Mountain View' should be lowercased unless it's a proper name; 'mountain view' is correct as a common noun. 'It calms you down' is informal; 'calming' is more natural. Suggested improvement: break long sentences into clear clauses and use consistent capitalization.
× From my point of view, I really enjoy taking pictures and seeing some umm places of interest in rural areas, because here you can enjoy the nature of the landscapes without any noise, without some harsh without people.
✓ From my point of view, I really enjoy taking pictures and seeing places of interest in rural areas, because here you can enjoy the natural landscapes without noise or crowds.
Awkward pronoun and filler words removed. 'The nature of the landscapes' is incorrect; use 'natural landscapes'. 'Without some harsh without people' is ungrammatical—likely intended 'without crowds' or 'without people'. Suggested improvement: avoid fillers, use 'natural' for adjectives, and 'crowds' for groups of people.
× That's why it gives you possibility to enjoy it fully.
✓ That's why it gives you the possibility to enjoy it fully.
Missing definite article 'the' before 'possibility' is required. Alternatively, say 'that gives you the possibility to fully enjoy it' or 'allows you to enjoy it fully'. Suggested improvement: include articles with abstract nouns and consider 'allow' as a smoother verb.
× I prefer views in other countries since my best friend is very vivid to travel and we sometimes travel together.
✓ I prefer views in other countries since my best friend loves to travel and we sometimes travel together.
'Is very vivid to travel' is incorrect collocation. Use 'loves to travel' or 'is keen to travel'. Maintain present simple for habits: 'we sometimes travel together' is fine. Suggested improvement: learn common verb collocations like 'love to travel' or 'be keen to travel'.
× She likes taking me with her.
✓ She likes taking me with her on trips.
Sentence is grammatically possible but incomplete in context; add 'on trips' for clarity. Suggested improvement: provide context to verb phrases to avoid vague meanings.
× So umm she shows she shouldn't be a travel guide.
✓ So, umm, she shows me around; she should be a travel guide.
Original is contradictory and ungrammatical: 'she shows she shouldn't be a travel guide' doesn't convey meaning. Likely intended to praise: 'she shows me around; she should be a travel guide.' Use 'should' correctly to express suggestion. Suggested improvement: split into two clauses and use 'show me around' for 'guide someone'.
× I I would say because she shows me different historic side that I wouldn't even expect to see that or visit so.
✓ I would say she shows me different historic sides that I would not have expected to see or visit.
Repeated 'I I' and poor clause order. 'Different historic side' should be plural 'historic sides' or 'different historic aspects'. Use past conditional 'would not have expected' for surprise about past experiences. Remove trailing 'so'. Suggested improvement: avoid repetition, use plural nouns where appropriate, and choose correct conditional forms for past surprise.
