Part 1

Examiner

Do you look out the window at the scenery when travelling by bus or car?

Candidate

Ever since I was little, I have always been a fan of traveling. I have always enjoyed looking at the sceneries outside the bus or the car, especially when going to new places because I find it fascinating to discover new things and new environment.

Examiner

Do you take photos of the scenery outside the car window?

Candidate

Yes, that is why I always make sure that I have my cell phone with me so that every time I encounter new architecture or new people, I would always have the chance to take pictures of them to remember them by.

Examiner

Do you prefer the mountains or the sea?

Candidate

I would say that I would prefer the Seymour because I haven't really had the chance to explore the mountains at all. Other than that, I would say that I really enjoy going to the beaches, especially with my family because it has been a tradition of ours since I was little to go on vacations there.

Part 1

Do you look out the window at the scenery when travelling by bus or car?

Score: 78.0

Suggestion: Be more concise and directly answer the question first with one clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details. Avoid repetition (e.g. “I have always”) and correct small grammar issues (use ‘scenery’ and ‘environments’ or ‘new surroundings’). Use a linking word to connect the main idea to the detail.

Example: Yes — I often look out the window when I travel by bus or car. For example, I especially enjoy watching unfamiliar towns and countryside because I find it fascinating to spot local architecture and daily life as we pass by.

Do you take photos of the scenery outside the car window?

Score: 82.0

Suggestion: Start with a direct short answer, then give a specific reason and one concrete example. Avoid repeating words like ‘always’ and prefer concise phrasing (e.g. ‘I carry my phone to capture interesting buildings or people’). Use a linking word such as ‘because’ or ‘so’ for coherence.

Example: Yes, I often take photos from the car window because I like to capture interesting architecture or street scenes. For instance, last month I photographed a colourful market facade that I later used as a memory of the trip.

Do you prefer the mountains or the sea?

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: Clarify the intended word (it seems you meant ‘sea’ rather than ‘Seymour’) and give one clear preference sentence followed by specific reasons. Keep it concise (max 3–4 sentences) and use linking words (e.g. ‘because’, ‘however’). Mention a concrete example or memory to strengthen the answer.

Example: I prefer the sea because I grew up going to the beach with my family every summer. For example, we always swim and have picnics on the shore, which makes beach trips feel relaxing and special to me.

Grammar

Incorrect use of noun plural/uncountable (Singular and plural issue)

× I have always enjoyed looking at the sceneries outside the bus or the car, especially when going to new places because I find it fascinating to discover new things and new environment.

I have always enjoyed looking at the scenery outside the bus or the car, especially when going to new places because I find it fascinating to discover new things and new environments.

'Scenery' is an uncountable noun and should not be pluralized as 'sceneries'. 'Environment' can be countable or uncountable; in this context plural 'environments' better matches 'new places' and 'new things'. Suggestion: use uncountable 'scenery' and pluralize 'environment' to 'environments' for consistency.

Verb tense / modal and conditional use (Modal verb usage)

× Yes, that is why I always make sure that I have my cell phone with me so that every time I encounter new architecture or new people, I would always have the chance to take pictures of them to remember them by.

Yes, that is why I always make sure that I have my cell phone with me so that every time I encounter new architecture or new people, I always have the chance to take pictures of them to remember them by.

The conditional 'would' is unnecessary in a habitual present context. Use simple present 'always have' to express regular actions. Suggestion: replace 'would always have' with 'always have' when describing routine behavior.

Incorrect article use / Word choice (Article errors)

× I would say that I would prefer the Seymour because I haven't really had the chance to explore the mountains at all.

I would say that I would prefer the sea because I haven't really had the chance to explore the mountains at all.

'The Seymour' appears to be a misuse or typo; likely intended 'the sea'. Use 'the sea' for a general reference to the ocean. Also note that 'I would say that I would prefer the sea' is acceptable; alternatively 'I would prefer the sea' is more concise. Suggestion: correct 'Seymour' to 'sea' and consider removing the extra 'I would say that' for brevity.

Article errors

× Other than that, I would say that I really enjoy going to the beaches, especially with my family because it has been a tradition of ours since I was little to go on vacations there.

Other than that, I would say that I really enjoy going to the beach, especially with my family because it has been a tradition of ours since I was little to go on vacation there.

When speaking generally about visiting coastal areas, 'beach' as an uncountable or general noun is preferred: 'going to the beach'. Also 'vacation' in this context is uncountable and used without plural 'vacations' after 'go on'. Suggestion: use 'the beach' and 'go on vacation' to sound natural.
