Do you like taking pictures of different views?
分數: 58.0建議: Make your response a complete, coherent set of sentences and give one or two specific reasons or an example. Combine short fragments into full sentences and avoid leaving ideas unfinished. Use a linking phrase to connect your reason to the main idea.
範例: Yes, I do. I especially enjoy taking photos when I travel abroad because they help me preserve memories of the places I visit. For example, on my last trip to Kyoto I photographed temples and street scenes so I can relive the experience later.
Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
分數: 70.0建議: Start with a clear direct answer, then contrast or compare using linking words (e.g., however, while, on the other hand). Provide a specific example of an urban and a rural scene to show variety and add concrete detail.
範例: I prefer both, depending on my mood. While I enjoy rural views like quiet rice fields and mountain trails for their peace, I also like urban scenes such as lively cafés and modern architecture when I want to relax and people-watch.
Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?

× Yes I do, especially I like taking pictures when I'm abroad. In order to keep memories from traveling. Photography gives me.
✓ Yes, I do. I especially like taking pictures when I'm abroad to keep memories of my travels.
The original contains sentence fragments and awkward ordering. 'In order to keep memories from traveling.' is a fragment; combine with the previous clause and use an infinitive purpose phrase 'to keep memories'. Use 'of my travels' rather than 'from traveling' for natural phrasing. Also move 'especially' to modify 'like' and add commas and periods to form complete sentences.
× I especially I like taking pictures when I'm abroad.
✓ I especially like taking pictures when I'm abroad.
The sentence repeats the subject 'I' unnecessarily. Remove the extra 'I'. No preposition error here but the repetition causes sentence structure problems; corrected sentence removes redundancy and keeps proper subject-verb order.
× In order to keep memories from traveling.
✓ to keep memories of my travels.
Use 'memories of' rather than 'memories from'. Also 'travels' or 'my travels' is more natural than the gerund 'traveling' in this context. Convert the fragment into a purpose clause attached to a main clause.
× Photography gives me.
✓ Photography gives me a way to remember those experiences.
'Photography gives me.' is a fragment missing an object; complete the idea by specifying what photography gives (e.g., 'a way to remember those experiences'). Ensure sentences have subject, verb, and object as needed.
× I prefer both of them when I'm abroad.
✓ I like both kinds of views when I'm abroad.
'Prefer both of them' is slightly awkward because 'prefer' typically compares; if the intent is to express liking both types, 'I like both kinds of views' is clearer. Also 'when I'm abroad' remains correct. Alternatively, if comparing equally, 'I prefer both equally when I'm abroad' could be used.
× I like urban areas such as cafes, restaurants and modern buildings sometimes when I need to relax.
✓ I like urban areas, such as cafes, restaurants, and modern buildings, especially when I need to relax.
Place 'sometimes' or 'especially' in a clearer position; 'especially when I need to relax' better connects the reason to the preference. Add commas to set off the example list. This corrects adverb placement and clarifies meaning.
× I prefer views in other countries because I like to discover new places. And I like something new.
✓ I prefer views in other countries because I like discovering new places and experiencing new things.
The second sentence 'And I like something new.' is vague and a fragment; combine with the first sentence and use gerund 'discovering' to express general preference. 'Something new' is vague; replace with 'experiencing new things' for clarity and naturalness.
