Score: 60.0Suggestion: Be direct and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence (e.g., frequency), avoid vague or incorrect phrases like “great view” and “that is a great review,” and use correct tense and subject-verb agreement. Add one specific, relevant supporting detail and use a linking word to connect it. Keep the answer within 3–4 sentences.

× I usually go to the cinema when there is a great view which interest me and that is a great review.
✓ I usually go to the cinema when there is a great movie that interests me and receives great reviews.
The original uses 'view' and 'review' incorrectly to describe a film; 'movie' or 'film' is appropriate. 'which interest me' is incorrect subject-verb agreement and relative clause: use 'that interests me'. Also 'that is a great review' is awkward: say 'receives great reviews' or 'is highly reviewed'. Use adjectives correctly to modify nouns.
× For example, I had seen a thriller movie last month.
✓ For example, I saw a thriller movie last month.
The past perfect 'had seen' implies a relation to another past action; simple past 'saw' is correct for a single past event. Use simple past for completed actions with a time expression like 'last month'.
× Where I like watching funny movies best because it can make me laugh and I always feel very happy when I watch this kind of movies.
✓ I like watching funny movies best because they make me laugh and I always feel very happy when I watch this kind of movie.
'Where' is incorrect as a sentence starter; use 'I'. 'it can make me laugh' should refer to 'movies' (plural), so use 'they make me laugh'. 'this kind of movies' should be 'this kind of movie' (singular after 'kind of'). Pronouns must agree in number and correct reference.
× Well, I prefer the cinema because I can focus on the movies when at the cinema, but if I watch movies at home, there's too much things that bother me.
✓ Well, I prefer the cinema because I can focus on the movies when I'm at the cinema, but if I watch movies at home, there are too many things that bother me.
'when at the cinema' needs a subject: 'when I'm at the cinema'. 'there's too much things' mixes singular contraction 'there's' and plural 'things'; use 'there are' and 'too many things' for plural countable nouns.
× Sure, it's very useful to watch movies in other language.
✓ Sure, it's very useful to watch movies in other languages.
'language' should be plural 'languages' when speaking generally. Use correct adjective/noun form for general statements.
× For me, I usually watch English movies because they can help me study my English and I can learn it from relax.
✓ For me, I usually watch English movies because they help me study English and I can learn from relaxing watching.
'they can help me study my English' is awkward: 'help me study English' is clearer (no possessive needed with languages). 'I can learn it from relax' is ungrammatical: use 'learn from relaxing' or 'learn while relaxing' to express learning in a relaxed way.
× I feel it's a very good way to.
✓ I feel it's a very good way to learn.
Sentence is incomplete: 'a very good way to' requires a verb (infinitive) after 'to'. Provide the verb 'learn' to complete the structure and make the meaning clear.
