Score: 40.0Suggestion: Be clear and concise. Start with a direct topic sentence, then add one or two specific details. Avoid filler words and unclear phrases. Use correct word choices (e.g., “skyscrapers” not “sky scope”), and keep sentences short (max 3–4).
Example: Yes. There are many tall buildings near my home because I live in Shenzhen, a large city known for its skyscrapers. For example, there are several modern office towers and high-rise residential blocks within a ten-minute walk from my apartment.

Score: 35.0Suggestion: Answer directly, then explain briefly with relevant vocabulary. Use correct nouns and collocations (e.g., “take photos of buildings”, “natural scenery”, “mountains and forests”, “when I travel”). Provide one clear example sentence.
Example: Not often. I usually prefer photographing natural scenery when I travel because I enjoy capturing mountains and forests. For example, on my last trip I took many photos of a mountain range and a dense forest nearby.

Score: 42.0Suggestion: State your preference clearly, then give specific reasons and one contrasting example. Correct common mistakes: use “I wouldn’t” or “I don’t want to”, “there are a lot of people”, and “a low-rise apartment” or “a small house in the countryside.”

× Uh yes, there are many tall buildings near my home.
✓ Uh yes, there are many tall buildings near my home.
No correction needed; sentence correctly uses 'there are' with plural 'buildings'.
× I live in Shenzhen which is a large city, full sky, sky scope and high risk apartment block so tell beauty are anywhere around me.
✓ I live in Shenzhen, which is a large city with many skyscrapers and high-rise apartment blocks, so beautiful sights are all around me.
Original sentence has broken structure and several incorrect words. 'Full sky, sky scope' seems intended to be 'many skyscrapers'; 'high risk apartment block' should be 'high-rise apartment blocks'; 'tell beauty are anywhere around me' should be 'beautiful sights are all around me'. Use commas to separate clauses and correct noun phrases for clarity.
× I rarely take photo of the building.
✓ I rarely take photos of buildings.
Count noun 'photo' needs plural 'photos' with 'rarely take' and 'of the building' should be generalized to 'of buildings' when speaking generally. No -ing form required here; corrected for pluralization and article use.
× I prefer photographing natural skin when I travel because I enjoy capital landscape of wildlife.
✓ I prefer photographing natural scenery when I travel because I enjoy landscapes and wildlife.
'Natural skin' is incorrect; intended 'natural scenery'. 'Capital landscape of wildlife' is ungrammatical; use 'landscapes and wildlife' or 'natural landscapes and wildlife'. Adjust nouns to correct collocations.
× For example, I always take the photo for Mountain of the forest on my tips.
✓ For example, I always take photos of mountains and forests on my trips.
Many word choice and structure errors: 'take the photo for Mountain of the forest' should be 'take photos of mountains and forests'; 'on my tips' should be 'on my trips'. Use plural forms for general habits.
× I enjoy visit tall building before I like to view the high up.
✓ I enjoy visiting tall buildings because I like to view things from high up.
After 'enjoy' use gerund 'visiting' rather than base form 'visit'. 'Before I like' is wrong sequence; express reason with 'because'. 'the high up' should be 'high up' or 'from high up'.
× For example, I once visited tallest of the tower in Shenzhen is the PN Company's building.
✓ For example, I once visited the tallest tower in Shenzhen, which is the PN Company's building.
Sentence mixes clause forms. Use 'the tallest tower' and add a relative clause 'which is...' with commas. Ensure articles 'the' appear before superlative nouns.
× I'm enjoying to Plymouth with the city from the over vision.
✓ I enjoyed the view of the city from above.
'I'm enjoying to Plymouth' is meaningless; likely intended 'I enjoyed the view'. Use past tense 'enjoyed' for a past event. 'Over vision' should be 'view from above' or 'a panoramic view'.
× Not really, I would like to live in tall building because it's usually a lot of the people in here and it is noisy.
✓ Not really, I would not like to live in a tall building because there are usually a lot of people there and it is noisy.
Original 'would like to live in tall building' lacks articles and contradicts 'Not really'; use 'would not like'. Use 'a tall building' and correct existence with 'there are'. 'a lot of the people in here' should be 'a lot of people there'.
× I prefer a quiet place, for example a small house and a low rise apartment where we can relax and countries country station.
✓ I prefer a quiet place, for example a small house or a low-rise apartment where we can relax.
Use 'a low-rise apartment' with hyphen and article. Change 'and' to 'or' for alternatives. Phrase 'countries country station' is nonsensical and removed to maintain clarity. Ensure parallel structure and correct noun phrases.
