Examiner
Do you like taking pictures of different views?
Candidate
Yes, I enjoy taking pictures of different views because photography helps me know these details I might otherwise miss, such as light and color changes at different times of the day. For example, I often photograph city skylines at sunset to catch a dramatic skies and I find it relaxing and creatively fulfilling.

Examiner
Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Candidate
I haven't had a chance to visit other countries that often so I'm stuck with viewing the rules in Thailand now. The views in Thailand are great, but if I had to chance to go to other countries I believe that the views that would be great too.
Do you like taking pictures of different views?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: Your answer is relevant and gives a clear reason plus an example, which is good. To improve, make sentences more concise and correct minor grammar errors (e.g., "know" → "notice", "a dramatic skies" → "dramatic skies" or "a dramatic sky"). Use one strong topic sentence, then one supporting detail linked with a linking word (e.g., "For example"). Keep to 2–3 sentences to avoid redundancy.
Example: Yes, I enjoy photographing different views because it helps me notice subtle details like changes in light and color throughout the day. For example, I often shoot city skylines at sunset to capture dramatic skies, which I find relaxing and creatively fulfilling.
Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Your main idea is clear, but there are pronunciation/spelling errors ("wheels" instead of "wells" or "views" — likely meant "views") and some repetition and grammar issues (double "the"). Improve clarity by using a clear topic sentence and one or two specific supporting details. Use a linking word like "because" to explain why you prefer rural views and avoid repeating words.
Example: I prefer views in rural areas because the natural landscapes are more peaceful and photogenic. For example, I enjoy hiking in the mountains and photographing the changing colors of trees and ridgelines, which helps me feel relaxed and inspired.
Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: The response communicates the idea but contains several errors ("rules" instead of "views", "stuck with viewing the rules", missing words and awkward phrasing). Make a clear topic sentence stating your current situation, then add one concise reason or speculation about foreign views. Correct grammar and choose precise vocabulary.
Example: I prefer views in my own country at the moment because I haven't had many opportunities to travel abroad. However, I imagine that views in other countries would also be impressive and offer different landscapes and cultural scenes to photograph.
× I enjoy taking pictures of different views because photography helps me know these details I might otherwise miss, such as light and color changes at different times of the day.
✓ I enjoy taking pictures of different views because photography helps me notice details I might otherwise miss, such as changes in light and color at different times of the day.
The phrase 'helps me know these details' is unnatural; 'know' is not the correct verb collocating with 'details' in this context. Use 'notice' or 'see' to describe perceiving visual details. Also 'light and color changes' is better as 'changes in light and color' for natural adjective-noun order and clarity. Suggestion: use verbs that collocate with perception (notice, see, observe) and place 'changes' before 'in light and color.'
× For example, I often photograph city skylines at sunset to catch a dramatic skies and I find it relaxing and creatively fulfilling.
✓ For example, I often photograph city skylines at sunset to catch dramatic skies, and I find it relaxing and creatively fulfilling.
The phrase 'a dramatic skies' mixes singular article 'a' with plural 'skies'—this is an adjective/noun agreement issue. Remove the article or change to singular: 'a dramatic sky' or 'dramatic skies.' Also add a comma before 'and' to separate independent clauses. Suggestion: ensure articles match singular/plural nouns and punctuate compound sentences with a comma before coordinating conjunctions.
× I definitely prefer wheels in the rural areas more.
✓ I definitely prefer walks in rural areas.
The original 'wheels' is incorrect word choice (likely intended 'wheels' vs 'walks' or 'quietness'); this is an adjective/noun usage error. Also 'in the rural areas more' is awkward: 'in rural areas' suffices, and 'prefer' already conveys comparison so 'more' is redundant. Suggestion: choose the correct noun ('walks' if referring to strolling) and remove redundant words; use 'prefer X in rural areas' or 'prefer rural areas.'
× I love going up into the mountains and taking pictures of the beautiful scenery and the the color of the mountains and trees make me very relaxed and fulfilled.
✓ I love going up into the mountains and taking pictures of the beautiful scenery; the colors of the mountains and trees make me feel very relaxed and fulfilled.
There are several issues: repeated word 'the the' (typo) and 'the color of the mountains and trees make' has subject-verb agreement and plurality problems: 'colors ... make' is correct, but the verb must follow plural subject, and 'make me very relaxed and fulfilled' is slightly awkward without 'feel.' Using 'feel' clarifies the state. Suggestion: fix typos, ensure subject-verb agreement, and use 'feel' with emotions/states.
× I haven't had a chance to visit other countries that often so I'm stuck with viewing the rules in Thailand now.
✓ I haven't had a chance to visit other countries that often, so I'm stuck viewing the rules in Thailand now.
The phrase 'stuck with viewing the rules' is incorrect: 'stuck viewing the rules' or better 'stuck seeing views' was likely intended. Also 'rules' is a wrong word for 'rural' or 'views'—this is word choice but affects tense/meaning. I adjusted punctuation by adding a comma before 'so.' Suggestion: replace incorrect nouns ('rules') with intended word ('views' or 'rural areas') and keep present perfect 'haven't had' consistent. If intended meaning is inability to travel, say 'I haven't had many opportunities to visit other countries, so I'm limited to seeing views in Thailand.'
× The views in Thailand are great, but if I had to chance to go to other countries I believe that the views that would be great too.
✓ The views in Thailand are great, but if I had the chance to go to other countries, I believe that the views there would be great too.
Several errors: 'had to chance' is incorrect phrase—should be 'had the chance.' Missing comma after the conditional clause. 'I believe that the views that would be great too' has an extra 'that' and lacks 'there' to indicate location. Fixed word order and removed redundant 'that.' Suggestion: use the fixed conditional 'if I had the chance,' include a comma after the conditional clause, and use 'there' or 'would be' appropriately to indicate location and avoid redundant 'that.'
