Score: 72.0Suggestion: Reduce hesitations and repetition, speak more fluently and concisely. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details (e.g., events you joined, an award you won) using linking words like “for example” or “because.” Keep the answer to under five sentences.
Example: Yes, I enjoy taking pictures of different views because photography lets me capture special moments. For example, I’ve participated in several photography and videography events and even won an award last year, which motivated me to explore nature more and improve my skills.
Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Make your preference clear with a concise topic sentence, then give specific reasons and examples. Avoid vague or confusing phrases (e.g., “not a machinery but it's not natural”). Use linking words like “because” and “so” to connect ideas, and limit to two to three short sentences.
Example: I prefer urban views because I grew up in the countryside and now enjoy exploring cityscapes. For instance, I like photographing architecture and lively streets since the man-made structures and lighting create interesting compositions.
Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Score: 65.0Suggestion: Give a direct answer first, then support it with a clear reason and a specific example. Correct grammar and word choice (e.g., “passionate” instead of “passionating”). Use linking words like “because” and “for example.” Keep it to two or three sentences.
Example: I prefer views in other countries because I want to see landscapes and cultures different from those I grew up with. For example, I’d love to photograph coastal cliffs in Europe and tropical forests in Southeast Asia to broaden my portfolio and experience.
× I like to take pictures of different, uh, views because I'm keen on taking pictures.
✓ I like taking pictures of different views because I'm keen on photography.
Using 'to take' is not incorrect, but 'keen on' requires a noun or gerund. Replacing 'taking pictures' with 'photography' or using 'keen on taking pictures' avoids awkward repetition and ensures correct use of the preposition 'on' followed by a noun/gerund. Also removed filler words for clarity.
× Uh, I have, uh, participated in different, uh, photography and videography, uh, events.
✓ I have participated in various photography and videography events.
Remove unnecessary fillers and use 'various' instead of 'different' before a plural noun. The present perfect 'have participated' is correct to indicate past experience with relevance to the present. This corrects word choice and sentence flow.
× Even I won an award, uh, I, I love to explore nature by using the photographs and capture moments.
✓ I even won an award. I love to explore nature through photography and capture moments.
The original included run-on ideas and incorrect phrase 'by using the photographs'. Split into two sentences and use 'through photography' to express means. Use consistent infinitive forms: 'to explore' and 'to capture' or gerund 'capturing'; here 'capture' adjusted to fit parallel structure.
× I prefer views in urban areas because I think in rural areas I have been living since my childhood, so now I prefer to explore urban areas views because I love the beauty, which is I think is not a machinery but it's not natural.
✓ I prefer views in urban areas because I have lived in rural areas since my childhood, so now I prefer to explore urban views because I love the beauty of the city, which I think is artificial rather than natural.
Use present perfect 'have lived' to indicate a period from past to present. 'Urban areas views' is awkward; use 'urban views' or 'views in urban areas'. Reword 'not a machinery but it's not natural' to 'artificial rather than natural' for correct adjective usage and clarity.
× I like the artificial beauty so I would love to.
✓ I like artificial beauty, so I would love to see more of it.
'The artificial beauty' is unnatural; use 'artificial beauty' without 'the'. The clause 'so I would love to' is incomplete; add an object ('see more of it') to complete the sentence.
× I prefer views in different other countries because I I'm a person who love to explore different views in my country.
✓ I prefer views in other countries because I am a person who loves to explore different views in my country.
Remove redundant 'different' before 'other countries'. Fix contractions and subject-verb agreement: 'I I'm' to 'I am' and 'who love' to 'who loves' because 'who' refers to 'a person' (singular).
× I've been watching the different views from my childhood so I would like to see the different countries views.
✓ I've been seeing different views since my childhood, so I would like to see the views of other countries.
'Watching the different views' is awkward; use 'seeing different views' or 'observing'. Use 'since my childhood' with present perfect. 'Different countries views' should be 'views of other countries' (correct noun order and preposition).
× I'm very passionating on exploring nature so I'll prefer another country's views.
✓ I am very passionate about exploring nature, so I would prefer the views of another country.
'Passionating' is not a correct adjective; use 'passionate'. Preposition with 'passionate' is 'about', not 'on'. 'I'll prefer' is awkward for preference; 'I would prefer' or 'I prefer' is more appropriate. Use 'the views of another country' for clarity.
