Do you look out the window at the scenery when travelling by bus or car?
Thí sinh
Oh yes, I do like the look at the scenery outside because I think that's one of the most fun, umm, interesting things about when riding a bus or riding a car. It's just simply sit and enjoy the view. See how it's how umm, the view is different between umm, each places. I really enjoy that.

Do you take photos of the scenery outside the car window?
Thí sinh
Unfortunately, I don't. I do like to look at the scenes, but I don't really think it's worth taking pictures. So it's sort of interesting to see the differences, but it's not really worthy of taking all that, all those photos it take. It consumes so much of the data space that I have in my smartphone.

Do you prefer the mountains or the sea?
Thí sinh
I think I prefer the ocean more because mountains require more physical activities. You need to be physically more, umm, healthy, while the ocean you can just sit and relax, you don't really have to do anything active. So I prefer the ocean.

Điểm: 68.0Gợi ý: 話し方の流暢さと冗長表現を減らし、明確なトピック文とつながりのある補足を使って回答を整理しましょう。具体的には「umm」などのフィラーを減らし、1文で主旨を述べた後に1〜2文で理由や具体例を述べる練習をしてください。また、“each places”のような文法誤りを避けるために単数・複数の一致に注意し、語彙を多様にして自然な表現(for example, I enjoy watching changes in architecture or landscapes)を取り入れてください。
Ví dụ: Yes, I often look out of the window when I travel by bus or car because I enjoy observing how the scenery changes. For example, I like seeing the contrast between urban streets and open countryside, which makes the journey more relaxing and interesting.
Do you take photos of the scenery outside the car window?
Điểm: 72.0Gợi ý: 理由を簡潔に述べ、論理的なつながりを示す接続語を使って説明を整理しましょう。冗長な言い回し("all that, all those photos it take")を避け、はっきりした理由と追加情報(例えば頻度や例)を加えると良いです。また語彙を少し広げて、"consume data space"より自然な表現(use up storage)を使う練習をしてください。
Ví dụ: No, I usually don't take photos of the scenery because I prefer to enjoy the view in the moment. Also, taking many pictures would quickly use up the storage on my phone, so I only take photos when there's something especially memorable.
Do you prefer the mountains or the sea?
Điểm: 75.0Gợi ý: 比較の理由をもっと具体的にし、接続詞を使って論理をはっきり示しましょう。フィラーを減らし、"physically more healthy"のような不自然な表現は避けてください。代わりに、"mountains often involve hiking and climbing"など具体的な活動を挙げ、海の利点(relaxation, swimming)を短く述べると説得力が増します。
Ví dụ: I prefer the sea because mountain trips usually involve hiking and steep climbs, which require good fitness. By contrast, at the beach I can relax, swim, or just walk along the shore, so it suits me better.
× Oh yes, I do like the look at the scenery outside because I think that's one of the most fun, umm, interesting things about when riding a bus or riding a car.
✓ Oh yes, I do like looking at the scenery outside because I think that's one of the most interesting things about riding a bus or a car.
The original uses 'do like the look at' which is ungrammatical; after 'like' we should use the gerund 'looking' for general preference. Also 'one of the most fun, umm, interesting things' is awkward; 'one of the most interesting things' is clearer. Use 'riding a bus or a car' or better 'taking a bus or driving in a car' for natural phrasing. Suggestion: use 'like + -ing' for preferences and simplify redundant words. (grammar problem type ID:8)
× It's just simply sit and enjoy the view.
✓ You just simply sit and enjoy the view.
The sentence lacks a proper subject and verb agreement. 'It's just simply sit' is ungrammatical; use 'You just simply sit' or 'You just sit' to describe the general situation. Alternatively, 'It is simply sitting and enjoying the view' would change meaning and is less natural. Keep subject consistent with general statements. (grammar problem type ID:26)
× See how it's how umm, the view is different between umm, each places.
✓ You can see how the view is different between places.
The original has redundant and incorrect pronoun/structure: 'See how it's how' and 'each places' (plural noun with 'each'). Use 'places' without 'each' or 'each place'. Also add a subject 'You can' for clarity. Suggestion: avoid redundant fillers and match pronouns and noun forms. (grammar problem type ID:12)
× I do like to look at the scenes, but I don't really think it's worth taking pictures.
✓ I do like to look at the scenery, but I don't really think it's worth taking pictures.
'Scenes' is acceptable but 'scenery' is the uncountable noun typically used for views outside windows. Using 'scenery' fits the general, uncountable context. Pronoun use is otherwise fine. Suggestion: prefer 'scenery' for natural phrasing. (grammar problem type ID:12)
× So it's sort of interesting to see the differences, but it's not really worthy of taking all that, all those photos it take.
✓ So it's sort of interesting to see the differences, but it's not really worth taking all those photos.
'Worthy of' is awkward here; use 'worth' + gerund ('worth taking'). 'All that, all those photos it take' is ungrammatical and redundant. Remove extra words and use 'all those photos'. Also eliminate the stray 'it take'. Suggestion: use 'worth' with '-ing' and avoid repetition. (grammar problem type ID:13)
× It consumes so much of the data space that I have in my smartphone.
✓ They consume so much of the storage space on my smartphone.
The subject should agree with 'photos' (plural) so use 'they consume'. Also 'data space' is nonnative; 'storage space' or 'memory' is more natural, and 'on my smartphone' is the usual preposition. Ensure subject-verb agreement and natural collocations. (grammar problem type ID:6)
× I think I prefer the ocean more because mountains require more physical activities.
✓ I think I prefer the ocean because mountains require more physical activity.
'Physical activities' is plural but here the uncountable noun 'physical activity' is more natural to express general effort required. Also 'prefer...more' is redundant; use 'prefer' or 'prefer...more' but better 'prefer the ocean' alone. Suggestion: use uncountable nouns for general concepts. (grammar problem type ID:6)
× You need to be physically more, umm, healthy, while the ocean you can just sit and relax, you don't really have to do anything active.
✓ You need to be physically healthier, while at the ocean you can just sit and relax; you don't really have to do anything active.
Use comparative 'healthier' when comparing physical condition. Insert 'at the ocean' for natural prepositional phrase and join clauses properly with a semicolon or conjunction. 'Physically more, umm, healthy' is incorrect word order. Suggestion: use 'healthier' and correct clause linking. (grammar_problem_type_id:13)
× So I prefer the ocean.
✓ So I prefer the ocean.
This sentence is grammatical; no change needed. It follows from the previous explanation and correctly expresses preference. No error to correct. (grammar problem type ID:26)
