Do you look out the window at the scenery when travelling by bus or car?
Thí sinh
Yes, I definitely will look out at the window when I was traveling by car or train because I am a person who always really busy and I cannot stay calm and relax my mind. So if I look at the nature and feel the nature, I think I can be more relaxed than I just look at my phone when I.

Do you take photos of the scenery outside the car window?
Thí sinh
Not really, because I want to focus on that moment rather than capture that moment. I had tried to take photos when I was in the bus or car, but I would not look back in my photo gallery, so I think that's useless for me.

Do you prefer the mountains or the sea?
Thí sinh
I prefer the sea to the mountain because I like to listen to the sound of the waves and just sit at the Cliff to see how big the sea is and make me feel relaxed when I listen to it. But I don't like to go to the mountains because I'm scared of the really high places so I don't like to go to.

Điểm: 68.0Gợi ý: 回答は意図が伝わりますが、時制の誤りや冗長な表現があり、文が長くてまとまりに欠けます。また、話の構成(トピック文→理由→具体例)がやや不明瞭です。改善点は次の通りです:1) 適切な時制(現在形)を使う。2) 一文を短くしトピック文→理由→具体例の順で話す。3) 接続詞(so, because, therefore)を使って論理の流れを整える。4) 具体性を高める(どんな景色か、どのくらいの頻度で見るかなど)。
Ví dụ: Yes, I usually look out of the window when I travel by car or train because I find watching the scenery helps me relax. For example, I often enjoy watching green fields and rivers pass by, which calms my mind after a busy day. Therefore, I prefer looking outside to using my phone during journeys.
Do you take photos of the scenery outside the car window?
Điểm: 74.0Gợi ý: 回答は明確で一貫性がありますが、時制と語彙の繰り返し("that moment")を減らし、詳細を加えるとより自然になります。改善点:1) 現在形を基本とする。2) 同じ語句の繰り返しを避ける(use synonyms)。3) 理由を具体的に述べる(例:揺れでブレる、時間がない、写真を見る習慣がない等)。4) 一貫した接続語を使って簡潔にまとめる。
Ví dụ: Not really. I prefer to be fully present during a trip rather than taking photos, because pictures taken from a moving vehicle often turn out blurry. Also, I rarely review travel photos later, so I choose to enjoy the view in the moment instead.
Do you prefer the mountains or the sea?
Điểm: 70.0Gợi ý: 意見は明確で理由も述べられていますが、文法(冠詞、大文字、語順)や冗長な表現が目立ちます。改善点:1) 名詞の単複と冠詞(the cliff→a cliff/the cliffs)を正しく使う。2) 短い文で意見→理由→具体例を示す。3) フレーズの繰り返しを避け、適切な語彙(fear of heights)を使う。4) 接続詞で文の流れを良くする。
Ví dụ: I prefer the sea to the mountains because I find the sound of the waves very soothing. For example, I like sitting on a cliff or a beach and watching the vast ocean, which helps me relax. I avoid mountains because I have a strong fear of heights.
× Yes, I definitely will look out at the window when I was traveling by car or train because I am a person who always really busy and I cannot stay calm and relax my mind.
✓ Yes, I definitely look out of the window when I travel by car or train because I am always very busy and I cannot stay calm or relax my mind.
Grammar problems: subject-verb agreement and tense consistency. Use present simple 'look' and 'travel' to describe habitual action rather than future or past. Correction of preposition: use 'look out of the window' rather than 'look out at the window'. Adjective/adverb order: 'always very busy' instead of 'always really busy'. Use parallel structure 'stay calm or relax my mind' instead of 'stay calm and relax my mind'. Suggested improvement: Use present simple for habits, correct prepositions with 'look out of', keep modifiers in natural order, and maintain parallel structure.
× So if I look at the nature and feel the nature, I think I can be more relaxed than I just look at my phone when I.
✓ So if I look at nature and feel it, I think I can be more relaxed than when I just look at my phone.
Grammar problems: article usage and sentence structure. 'Nature' generally does not need 'the' here. The original ends with an incomplete clause 'when I.' which is a sentence structure error. Also use 'feel it' to avoid repetition. Suggested improvement: Drop unnecessary articles before uncountable nouns, avoid sentence fragments, and complete comparative clauses using 'than when'. Use concise pronoun reference.
× Not really, because I want to focus on that moment rather than capture that moment.
✓ Not really, because I want to focus on the moment rather than capture it.
Grammar problems: repetition and pronoun use. Repeating 'that moment' is redundant; use a pronoun 'it' for clarity and conciseness. Also use 'the moment' for natural phrasing. Suggested improvement: Use pronouns to avoid repetition and prefer concise expressions.
× I had tried to take photos when I was in the bus or car, but I would not look back in my photo gallery, so I think that's useless for me.
✓ I have tried to take photos when I was on the bus or in the car, but I never look back at my photo gallery, so I think it's useless for me.
Grammar problems: tense choice, prepositions, and verb form. 'I had tried' (past perfect) is inappropriate; use present perfect 'I have tried' or simple past depending on context. Use preposition 'on the bus' and 'in the car'. 'Would not look back' is unnatural here; use 'never look back at'. Replace 'that's' with 'it's' for general statement. Suggested improvement: Use correct prepositions for transport modes, choose proper tense for experiences (present perfect), and use natural negative adverbs like 'never'.
× I prefer the sea to the mountain because I like to listen to the sound of the waves and just sit at the Cliff to see how big the sea is and make me feel relaxed when I listen to it.
✓ I prefer the sea to the mountains because I like to listen to the sound of the waves and just sit on the cliff to see how vast the sea is; it makes me feel relaxed when I listen to it.
Grammar problems: singular/plural, article use, preposition, sentence structure. Use plural 'mountains' after 'prefer the sea to the mountains'. 'Cliff' should be lowercase and use preposition 'on the cliff'. 'How big the sea is and make me feel' is a sentence structure error; use a semicolon or separate clause and 'it makes me feel relaxed'. Suggested improvement: Match singular/plural consistently, use correct prepositions for location, and ensure clauses have clear subjects and verbs.
× But I don't like to go to the mountains because I'm scared of the really high places so I don't like to go to.
✓ But I don't like going to the mountains because I'm scared of very high places, so I avoid going there.
Grammar problems: verb form and sentence structure. Use gerund 'going' after 'like' and avoid repeating 'I don't like to go to' which is a fragment. 'Really high places' is better as 'very high places'. Use 'there' to complete the phrase. Suggested improvement: Use gerunds for preferences (like doing), avoid sentence fragments by completing locations with 'there' and simplify repetition.
