Do you look out the window at the scenery when travelling by bus or car?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: Make the response more natural and grammatically correct. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Correct verb forms and remove repetition. For example, say why it calms you and give a brief example of a typical scene you notice.
Example: Yes, I usually look out of the window when I travel by bus or car because it helps me relax. For instance, I often watch the changing neighbourhoods and trees pass by, which clears my mind and makes the journey feel shorter.
Do you take photos of the scenery outside the car window?
Score: 66.0Suggestion: Use correct verb forms and clearer linking words. Begin with a direct topic sentence (I don't usually take photos), then give a concise reason and a specific example. Avoid filler words and correct vocabulary (e.g. 'especially').
Example: No, I don't usually take photos from a moving vehicle because the images often come out blurry. Instead, I prefer to enjoy the moment — for example, I might remember a vivid sunset rather than try to photograph it.
Do you prefer the mountains or the sea?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Give a clear opinion in the first sentence and support it with two specific reasons using linking words. Fix grammar (I prefer the sea to the mountains; it has fresh air and a cooling breeze) and complete the final thought. Keep it within four sentences.
Example: I prefer the sea to the mountains because it has fresher air and a cooling breeze. Also, the sound of waves relaxes me, so I find seaside walks more refreshing than hiking in the hills.
× Yes, I usually look out the window during the traveling by bus or car.
✓ Yes, I usually look out the window while travelling by bus or car.
Use 'while' instead of 'during' before a verb-ing clause; 'traveling' can be treated as an uncountable activity so drop 'the'. Use single 'l' or double 'l' depending on variety; keep consistent (here 'travelling'). Recommendation: say 'while travelling by bus or car'.
× It's make me me feel calm and clear my mind.
✓ It makes me feel calm and clears my mind.
Subject 'It' requires third-person singular verb 'makes' not 'make'. Also 'clear my mind' needs to be in third-person singular form 'clears' to match subject 'It'. Remove duplicate 'me'. Recommendation: ensure verbs agree with subject and remove repeated words.
× Actually, I'm not usually take the photo outside the car or bus window.
✓ Actually, I don't usually take photos out of the car or bus window.
Use auxiliary 'do' for negative in present simple: 'I don't usually take'. 'Take the photo' is too specific; use plural 'photos' or 'a photo' depending on meaning. 'Out of' or 'from' the window is more natural than 'outside' here. Recommendation: use 'I don't usually take photos from the car or bus window.'
× Uh, escapely is really special or beautiful.
✓ Uh, especially if it is really special or beautiful.
Likely intended 'especially'. Use 'especially if it is' to introduce a condition. 'Escapely' is not a word. Recommendation: replace with 'especially if it is' or 'especially when it is'.
× I rather the moment than the take the photo.
✓ I'd rather enjoy the moment than take a photo.
Use the expression 'I'd rather' followed by the base verb 'enjoy'. Do not use 'the' before 'moment' or before 'take'. Remove extra article 'the' before 'take'. Recommendation: use 'I'd rather enjoy the moment than take a photo.'
× You can continue the weather.
✓ You can continue about the weather.
This sentence is unclear; likely the student meant 'You can continue' (no object) or 'You can continue with the weather'. 'Continue the weather' is incorrect collocation. Recommendation: say 'You can continue with the weather' or simply omit this sentence.
× I'm prefer the sea view than mountains because it's have fresh air and some cooling.
✓ I prefer the sea to the mountains because it has fresh air and is cooler.
Do not use 'I'm prefer'; 'prefer' is stative present: 'I prefer'. Use 'prefer A to B' not 'prefer A than B'. 'It's have' is incorrect; use 'it has'. 'Some cooling' is awkward; use 'is cooler' to compare. Recommendation: 'I prefer the sea to the mountains because it has fresh air and is cooler.'
× I like this feeling and when I walk the mountains it's.
✓ I like this feeling, and when I walk in the mountains, I feel the same way.
Fragment: 'when I walk the mountains it's' is incomplete and ungrammatical. Use 'walk in the mountains' and complete the clause with a subject and verb (I feel the same way). Recommendation: 'When I walk in the mountains, I feel the same way.'
