Travelling— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Your answer is relevant and natural, but it is slightly long and contains some grammar and word-choice issues. Be concise: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details. Correct small errors (e.g., “most of the time,” “on a bus or in a car,” “do my own things” → “do my own activities”). Use a linking word if adding examples.

Ví dụ: Not really. Most of the time when I travel by bus or car I prefer to do other things, such as reading or using my smartphone. For instance, on long journeys I often read a novel to pass the time, and sometimes I take a short nap.

Gợi ý: Good short answer with a clear condition and purpose. Improve by fixing tense consistency and making the reason slightly more specific. Use a linking phrase to connect the condition and the result, and avoid filler words like “yeah.”

Ví dụ: Sometimes. If I see something striking, such as a sunset or a dramatic landscape, I usually take a photo and share it with friends or family so they can enjoy it too.

Gợi ý: The answer communicates preference but has many language errors and is incomplete. Fix pronunciation/writing issues ("see" → "sea"), grammar ("it it" → "it"), and sentence structure. Start with a direct topic sentence, then give two specific reasons with linking words and a brief contrast if needed. Keep within 3–4 sentences and finish your thought.

Ví dụ: I prefer the sea. I love the smell of the seawater and the sound of the waves because they relax me after a busy week. However, I don't dislike mountains — I enjoy hiking there sometimes, but the seaside is my first choice.

× Not really, because most of the times when I go traveling by a bus or a car, I spend my time to do my own things.

✓ Not really, because most of the time when I travel by bus or car, I spend my time doing my own things.

'Most of the times' is incorrect; use 'most of the time' (singular) for frequency. 'a bus or a car' is unnecessary with articles when speaking generally; use 'by bus or car'. 'I go traveling' is awkward—use 'I travel'. 'spend my time to do' is incorrect verb pattern; use 'spend my time doing' (verb+ -ing). Suggestion: simplify to 'Most of the time when I travel by bus or car, I spend my time doing my own things.'

× For example, I read a book or play with my smartphone or probably sleep.

✓ For example, I read a book, play with my smartphone, or probably sleep.

Parallel verbs in a list should share the same form. Use commas to separate items. 'Probably' should come before the verb 'sleep' or 'probably sleep' is acceptable; maintain parallelism: 'read', 'play', 'sleep'. Also include commas for clarity.

× Sometimes, yeah, if I see any interesting scenery outside, for example if there is sunset.

✓ Sometimes, yeah, if I see any interesting scenery outside, for example if there is a sunset.

English requires the indefinite article 'a' with singular countable nouns like 'sunset' in this context. The structure 'if there is a sunset' is correct. Suggestion: include 'a' before 'sunset'.

× I could take a photo of it and share it to my friends or family.

✓ I could take a photo of it and share it with my friends or family.

The correct preposition for distributing or communicating something to people is 'with' (share with), not 'share to'. Use 'share it with my friends or family.'

× I prefer to see because I feel like I love the scent of the sea water it it has this specific smell of it and it's nice it it relax me.

✓ I prefer the sea because I love the scent of the seawater; it has a distinctive smell and it relaxes me.

Multiple errors: 'prefer to see' is wrong—use 'prefer the sea' (verb 'prefer' followed by noun). 'sea water' is better as 'seawater' or 'sea water' but here 'the scent of the seawater' works. Duplicate 'it it' removed. 'has this specific smell of it' is redundant; use 'it has a distinctive smell'. 'relax me' requires third person singular verb 'relaxes' to agree with subject 'it'. Suggestion: simplify and fix subject-verb agreement: 'it relaxes me.'

× But that doesn't mean I hate mountains or anything.

✓ But that doesn't mean I hate the mountains or anything.

When referring to mountains in general as a category contrasted with the sea, using the definite article 'the' with plural nouns is natural: 'the mountains.' This clarifies the contrast.

× I just prefer sea more than mountains because there's a lot of.

✓ I just prefer the sea to the mountains because there is a lot to do.

Original sentence is incomplete and has poor comparison structure. Use 'prefer A to B' rather than 'prefer A more than B'. Add a completion 'a lot to do' or specify what 'a lot' refers to. Also include 'the' before 'sea' and 'mountains' for clarity.
