That is a bit hard question for me because I do love both. In my country there are a lot of places of nature and of beautiful cities. But in other countries I do love taking pictures of historical buildings. They're usually really beautiful.
Do you like taking pictures of different views?
Điểm: 78.0Gợi ý: Ответ естественный, но немного многословный и частично повторяет идеи (повтор «I do love» и перечисления). Следует сократить повторения, использовать связующие слова и добавить конкретный пример для большей убедительности. Также уменьшите количество предложений до 3–4 и используйте более разнообразную лексику.
Ví dụ: Yes, I enjoy photographing various scenes. I especially like capturing natural landscapes such as forests and lakes, because the light changes quickly and creates dramatic photos. For instance, last summer I photographed a misty lake at sunrise and the colours were unforgettable.
Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
Điểm: 70.0Gợi ý: Ответ понятен, но неконсистентен («both and city areas» — ошибка) и содержит повторения. Нужно дать чёткое топик‑предложение, затем связанное сравнение с причинами и примером. Устраните грамматические ошибки и используйте связки (however, while, because).
Ví dụ: I prefer both, but for different reasons. While urban scenes offer dramatic sunsets and striking architecture that look great at dusk, rural areas provide peaceful natural settings and wildlife; for example, I once photographed a farmhouse silhouette against a vivid sunset which made a stronger composition than any city shot.
Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Điểm: 72.0Gợi ý: Ответ хороший по содержанию, но звучит немного разрозненно и содержит общие фразы без конкретики. Улучшите структуру: краткое утверждение, причина для каждой части и конкретный пример. Избегайте слов-паразитов («a bit hard») и используйте более точную лексику.
Ví dụ: It's difficult to choose, because my country offers stunning natural landscapes and vibrant cities, while abroad I enjoy photographing historic architecture. For example, at home I love shooting mountain valleys at dawn, but last year in Italy I captured intricate details of a centuries-old cathedral that were unlike anything back home.
× Of course I do love taking pictures of different views.
✓ Of course I love taking pictures of different views.
The auxiliary 'do' is unnecessary with 'love' in affirmative present tense; use 'I love' rather than 'I do love' for natural speech. Suggestion: drop 'do' unless adding emphasis.
× It doesn't matter for me if it is rural or city area, I enjoy both of them.
✓ It doesn't matter to me whether it is a rural or a city area; I enjoy both.
Use 'matter to me' not 'for me'. Use 'whether' for alternatives. Include articles 'a' before 'rural' and 'city area'. Replace comma with semicolon or separate sentences. Suggestion: use 'It doesn't matter to me whether it is a rural or a city area; I enjoy both.'
× I do love taking pictures of nature, of cities, of everything, just to keep it in my memory.
✓ I love taking pictures of nature, cities, and everything, just to keep them in my memory.
Unnecessary 'do' as in previous sentence. Use 'and' for list final item and plural pronoun 'them' to refer to plural 'pictures'. 'In my memory' is acceptable but 'in my memory' kept; suggestion: use 'them' to match plural noun.
× To be honest, I do love both and city areas.
✓ To be honest, I love both urban and city areas.
'Do' is unnecessary in affirmative statements. The original phrase 'both and city areas' is ungrammatical; use 'both urban and rural areas' or 'both urban and city areas' depending on intended contrast. Suggestion: clarify contrast.
× I love taking pictures of sunsets of skyscrapers or some interesting historical places.
✓ I love taking pictures of sunsets, skyscrapers, or interesting historical places.
Use commas to separate list items and omit 'of' before each item. 'Some' is optional; keep parallel noun forms. Suggestion: maintain parallel structure in lists.
× But in rural area I enjoy taking pictures of nature.
✓ But in rural areas I enjoy taking pictures of nature.
Use plural 'areas' after 'rural' when speaking generally. Also add article 'the' if referring to a specific rural area: 'But in the rural area I enjoy...' Suggestion: use 'rural areas' for general statements.
× That is a bit hard question for me because I do love both.
✓ That is a bit of a hard question for me because I love both.
Missing 'of a' after 'bit' and unnecessary 'do'. Add article 'a' before 'hard question'. Suggestion: say 'That is a bit of a hard question for me' and omit 'do' unless emphasizing.
× In my country there are a lot of places of nature and of beautiful cities.
✓ In my country there are a lot of natural places and beautiful cities.
'Places of nature' is awkward; use 'natural places' or 'places of natural beauty'. Omit repeated 'of'. Suggestion: use concise noun phrases like 'natural places'.
× But in other countries I do love taking pictures of historical buildings.
✓ But in other countries I love taking pictures of historical buildings.
Unnecessary 'do' in affirmative present tense. Suggestion: use 'I love' for natural phrasing.
× They're usually really beautiful.
✓ They are usually really beautiful.
Contraction 'They're' is acceptable in speech, but written answers may prefer 'They are'. No grammatical error otherwise; changed to full form for formality. Suggestion: use 'They are' in formal responses.
