Part 1
考官
Do you like taking pictures of different views?
考生
Well, yes, I like taking pictures of different views because they remind me of places I have visited and they look nice. For example, I often take photos of the city skyline at sunset when I work by the river and I share them with my friends.
考官
Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
考生
Well, I prefer rural areas. The views in the countryside are more peaceful and natural, and they really help me relax after a busy week. For example, I enjoy working by fields and river when I visit my grandparents, but I also appreciate a scenic skylight sometime because they look aside in at night.
考官
Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
考生
Well, I prefer veils in my own country because I feel more connected to the places I know and they are easier to visit. And for example, I like going to the mountains near my hometown because the air is clean and the scenery is peaceful. But I also enjoy seeing new places abroad sometime.
Do you like taking pictures of different views?
分數: 78.0建議: Your answer is overall natural and relevant, with a clear topic sentence and a supporting example. To improve, make sentences more concise, avoid redundancy (e.g., “they remind me” and “they look nice” could be combined), and include one specific detail (such as the emotion the photo evokes or a short description of lighting/composition). Also vary vocabulary (e.g., “capture” instead of “take”) and use one linking phrase to connect ideas.
範例: Yes, I enjoy capturing different views because photos help me remember places and moods. For example, I often photograph the city skyline at sunset while working by the river; the warm light and reflections make the scene feel calm, and I share the best shots with friends.
Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
分數: 60.0建議: Your main idea is clear, but there are several language and coherence problems. Avoid filler words like “well” at the start, correct word choice (use “skylines” or “scenic skylines” not “skylight” or “they look aside in at night”), and improve sentence structure. Add a linking word to contrast the occasional urban preference and give a specific sensory detail (e.g., sounds, smells, or colours) to strengthen the description.
範例: I prefer rural views because the countryside is quieter and more natural, which helps me unwind after a busy week. For example, when I visit my grandparents I like sitting by the fields and river, listening to birds and breathing fresh air; however, I sometimes enjoy a dramatic urban skyline at night for its bright lights.
Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
分數: 58.0建議: The response communicates the main preference, but contains errors ("veils" should be "views") and awkward phrasing. Remove unnecessary fillers, correct vocabulary, and tighten sentences. Use one linking word to show contrast when mentioning travel abroad. Add a specific example (name a mountain or describe a trail, season, or activity) to make the answer more concrete.
範例: I prefer views in my own country because I feel connected to familiar places and they’re easier to visit. For instance, I often go to the nearby Blue Ridge mountains where the clean air and pine forests make hikes very peaceful; however, I still enjoy discovering new landscapes when I travel abroad.
× For example, I often take photos of the city skyline at sunset when I work by the river and I share them with my friends.
✓ For example, I often take photos of the city skyline at sunset when I work by the river, and I share them with my friends.
Run-on: the sentence joins two independent clauses with only 'and' without a comma before the second independent clause. Add a comma before 'and' to separate clauses for clarity and correct punctuation; this keeps verb forms unchanged.
× I enjoy working by fields and river when I visit my grandparents, but I also appreciate a scenic skylight sometime because they look aside in at night.
✓ I enjoy working by the fields and the river when I visit my grandparents, but I also appreciate a scenic sky at times because it looks beautiful at night.
Multiple issues: missing articles before countable nouns ('the fields', 'the river'), incorrect word 'skylight' (means a roof window) should be 'sky', 'sometime' misused — use 'sometimes' or 'at times', 'they' incorrectly refers to 'sky' (singular) so use 'it', and phrase 'look aside in at night' is ungrammatical; replace with 'looks beautiful at night'. These corrections use proper prepositions/articles and pronoun agreement.
× Well, I prefer veils in my own country because I feel more connected to the places I know and they are easier to visit.
✓ Well, I prefer views in my own country because I feel more connected to the places I know, and they are easier to visit.
Typo 'veils' should be 'views'. Pronoun 'they' correctly refers to 'places' (plural) so keep 'they', but add a comma before 'and' to separate clauses. Correcting the noun fixes the meaning and pronoun reference.
× But I also enjoy seeing new places abroad sometime.
✓ But I also enjoy seeing new places abroad sometimes.
Use 'sometimes' (adverb) instead of 'sometime' when referring to occasional actions. 'Sometime' usually means 'at some unspecified time' and is less natural here.
× The views in the countryside are more peaceful and natural, and they really help me relax after a busy week.
✓ The views in the countryside are more peaceful and natural and really help me relax after a busy week.
The original sentence is grammatically acceptable, but removing the second 'and they' avoids redundancy and improves flow. This is a stylistic sentence-structure improvement rather than a strict grammar error.
× For example, I like going to the mountains near my hometown because the air is clean and the scenery is peaceful.
✓ For example, I like going to the mountains near my hometown because the air is clean and the scenery is peaceful.
This sentence is correct as written. No preposition change needed. Included here to indicate no correction necessary; keep the original wording.
