Examiner

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

Candidate

To be honest, yeah, I do that because it's really a good option to do that when it's especially a long journey. It's like, for example, you cannot only look at your phone all the time. Like sometimes look at outside the window. Helps us to more relax, more calm and just watch the world what's going on.

Examiner

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

Candidate

Actually, yes, I do that because it's really, uh, nice seeing some sometimes because, you know, especially if you go to do a more forest, more mountain place, there's become more green areas. So which interests us. So yeah, I do that and I did before, so yeah.

Examiner

Do you prefer the mountains or the sea?

Candidate

Oh, that's a really good question actually. Let me think about that. I probably choose both of them because I cannot decide. Both of them is really a beautiful nature of our world. Like in the mountains you can see lots of green, sometimes you can see animals, and in sea it's really.

Part 1

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

Score: 68.0

Suggestion: Make your answer more concise and structured: start with a clear topic sentence, give one or two specific reasons with a linking word, and avoid repetition and filler words (e.g. “like”, “you know”). Use correct collocations and grammar (e.g. “look out of the window”, “helps me relax”).

Example: Yes, I often look out of the window, especially on long journeys, because it’s a pleasant way to rest my eyes. For example, watching the countryside or towns go by helps me relax and stops me from staring at my phone the whole time.

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

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: Answer directly and give one clear specific example. Remove hesitations and correct grammar (e.g. “there are more green areas”, “that interests me”). Use linking words to connect ideas (for instance, “for example” or “because”).

Example: Yes, I often take photos of the scenery outside the window because I enjoy capturing striking views. For example, when I travel to mountainous or forested areas I photograph the lush green hills and interesting landscapes to remember the trip.

Do you prefer the mountains or the sea?

Score: 55.0

Suggestion: Give a direct preference (or say you like both) and support it with two specific contrasting reasons using linking words (e.g. “whereas”, “on the other hand”). Avoid incomplete sentences and improve grammar (e.g. “Both of them are really beautiful”, “I can see wildlife in the mountains”).

Example: I find it hard to choose, but I prefer the mountains slightly because I enjoy hiking and seeing wildlife. However, I also like the sea for its calming atmosphere and wide open views, so I often enjoy both depending on my mood.

Grammar

Verb in the present participle form

× Helps us to more relax, more calm and just watch the world what's going on.

It helps us relax, feel calmer, and just watch what's going on in the world.

Sentence fragment and incorrect verb form: 'Helps' lacks a subject and should be connected to previous sentence with 'It' as subject. 'to more relax' is incorrect word order and use of 'more' with 'relax'; use 'relax' or 'more relaxed'. 'more calm' should be 'feel calmer'. 'watch the world what's going on' is ungrammatical; correct order is 'watch what's going on in the world'. Use present simple for general truth. Suggestions: add subject 'It', use 'relax' or 'feel calmer', and reorder 'what's going on in the world'.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× Like sometimes look at outside the window.

For example, sometimes look out of the window.

Incorrect preposition and word order: 'look at outside the window' mixes 'at' and 'outside' incorrectly. Use 'look out of the window' or 'look out the window'. Also add a linking phrase like 'For example' if needed. Suggestions: use 'look out of the window' or 'look out the window' and place adverb 'sometimes' appropriately.

Subject-verb agreement errors

× Both of them is really a beautiful nature of our world.

Both of them are really beautiful parts of nature in our world.

Subject-verb agreement and word choice: 'Both of them' is plural so verb must be 'are' not 'is'. 'a beautiful nature' is awkward; 'parts of nature' or 'beautiful natural places' is better. Suggestions: use plural verb 'are' and revise noun phrase to 'parts of nature' or 'beautiful natural places'.

Sentence structure errors

× It's like, for example, you cannot only look at your phone all the time.

For example, you cannot just look at your phone all the time.

Awkward filler words and word order: 'It's like, for example,' is redundant. 'cannot only look at your phone' is incorrect placement of 'only'; 'cannot just look at your phone' is natural. Suggestions: remove redundant fillers and place 'only/just' before the verb phrase.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× So which interests us.

So it interests us.

Sentence fragment and incorrect relative usage: 'So which interests us.' is a fragment and 'which' does not correctly refer to the previous clause. Use 'it' to refer to taking photos or the scenery: 'So it interests us.' Suggestions: replace 'which' with 'it' and combine with previous sentence if needed.

Past tense issue

× So yeah, I do that and I did before, so yeah.

So yeah, I do that and I have done that before.

Tense inconsistency: 'I do that' (present) and 'I did before' (simple past) are acceptable but better to use present perfect 'I have done that before' to indicate past experience connected to present. Suggestions: use present perfect for past experiences relevant now.

Present tense issue

× I probably choose both of them because I cannot decide.

I would probably choose both of them because I cannot decide.

Modal verb missing for hypothetical choice: 'I probably choose' is unnatural in this context; use 'I would probably choose' to express preference/conditional choice. Suggestions: use 'would' for hypothetical or polite expressions of preference.

Sentence structure errors

× Like in the mountains you can see lots of green, sometimes you can see animals, and in sea it's really.

For example, in the mountains you can see lots of greenery and sometimes animals, and the sea is really beautiful.

Incomplete sentence and awkward phrases: 'lots of green' should be 'lots of greenery' or 'a lot of green', and 'in sea it's really.' is unfinished. Complete the idea by adding an adjective like 'beautiful' and include article 'the' before 'sea' if referring to the sea in general. Suggestions: use 'the sea' and finish the description with an adjective; replace 'lots of green' with 'lots of greenery'.
