Điểm: 62.0Gợi ý: Make the response more natural and concise: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition, correct grammar (article use, verb forms), and add one specific supporting detail using a linking word. Aim for 2–4 sentences and use varied vocabulary (e.g. "scenery", "landscape").
Ví dụ: Yes, I usually choose a window seat so I can enjoy the scenery. For example, on long trips I like watching changing landscapes like fields and small villages, which helps me relax.

Ví dụ: I prefer the sea because I enjoy swimming and beach activities. For example, when I go to the coast I like trying water sports and relaxing on the sand, which I find more enjoyable than hiking in the mountains.
× Yes, I mostly book a seat in window because I can view different views by the bus and I can also view the nature.
✓ Yes, I usually book a seat by the window because I can see different views from the bus and also enjoy nature.
Problems: 'in window' should be 'by the window' (preposition + article); 'mostly' is acceptable but 'usually' is more natural (word choice not in list so optional); 'view different views by the bus' uses incorrect preposition 'by' and awkward verb 'view' repeated; use 'see different views from the bus'; 'view the nature' is unidiomatic; use 'enjoy nature'. Suggestion: use correct prepositions 'by' and 'from' and more natural verbs like 'see' and 'enjoy'.
× Yes, sometime I capture the picture of mountain and the river.
✓ Yes, sometimes I take pictures of mountains and rivers.
Problems: 'sometime' should be adverb 'sometimes' (adverb form); 'capture the picture' is awkward — use 'take pictures' (verb choice); 'mountain and the river' has number and article errors: use plural 'mountains and rivers' or 'a mountain and a river' depending on meaning. Suggestion: use 'sometimes', plural nouns for general statements, and 'take pictures'.
× When I go to the mountain then I will click the photo of nature.
✓ When I go to the mountains, I take photos of nature.
Problems: Tense and word choice: mixing 'When I go' (present tense for habitual or future) with 'I will click' is awkward. For habitual action use present simple 'I take photos'. 'click the photo' is informal/unidiomatic — use 'take photos'. 'the mountain' should be plural 'the mountains' or 'a mountain' for generality. Suggestion: use present simple for habitual actions and natural collocations 'take photos'.
× I mostly like a sea because I don't like mountain.
✓ I mostly like the sea because I don't like mountains.
Problems: Article use: 'a sea' is incorrect when speaking generally; use 'the sea'. 'mountain' needs plural 'mountains' for general dislike, or 'a mountain' for a single example. Suggestion: use 'the sea' for the general concept and pluralize 'mountains' when speaking generally.
× That's why I prefer prefer the sea.
✓ That's why I prefer the sea.
Problems: Repetition 'prefer prefer' is a typo/redundant word causing structure error. Suggestion: remove the duplicate and keep single 'prefer'.
× You can swim and you can travel from there.
✓ You can swim there and you can travel from there.
Problems: The original 'You can swim and you can travel from there' is ambiguous: parallel verbs need clear objects; 'swim' needs location 'there'. To convey both activities possible at the sea, say 'You can swim there and you can travel from there.' Suggestion: include 'there' after 'swim' to make the parallel structure clear.
