Travelling— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Your response simply repeated the examiner's question rather than answering. For Part 1 you should give a direct, natural answer with 1–3 supporting details. Keep it concise (no more than 5 sentences) and use linking words if adding reasons. For example, start with a clear topic sentence (Yes/No), then add a reason and a specific detail or example.

Ví dụ: Yes, I usually look out of the window when I travel by bus or car, because I enjoy seeing the changing landscape. For instance, on longer journeys I like watching towns and farms pass by, which helps me relax and pass the time.

Gợi ý: Again, you repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. Provide a direct reply (Yes/No), then add a brief reason or an example. Make sure to use appropriate vocabulary (e.g., take photos, shoot pictures, capture views) and keep the response natural and concise.

Ví dụ: Not usually, because I find the reflections on the window spoil most photos. However, if the view is especially beautiful—like a dramatic sunset or a mountain range—I will sometimes take a quick picture despite the reflections.

Gợi ý: You repeated the question rather than stating your preference. Answer directly (I prefer X) and give 1–2 supporting reasons or a short example. Use linking words (because, so, for example) to make your answer coherent and specific vocabulary related to mountains or sea.

Ví dụ: I prefer the mountains because I enjoy hiking and the fresh, quiet atmosphere. For example, last year I spent a week in the hills and loved the trails and panoramic views, which felt more relaxing than crowded beaches.

× Do you look out the window at the scenery when travelling via bus or car?

✓ Do you look out of the window at the scenery when travelling by bus or car?

The original sentence uses 'via' incorrectly for means of transport. Use the preposition 'by' to indicate the mode of travel (by bus, by car). Also, the common collocation is 'look out of the window' or 'look out the window'; 'out of the window' is slightly more standard. Suggestion: use 'by' for transport and 'look out of the window' for clarity.

× Do you take photos of the scenery outside the car windows?

✓ Do you take photos of the scenery outside the car window?

The question asks generally about photos taken through the car window; using the singular 'window' is more natural here because it refers to the window adjacent to a passenger, not multiple windows. Also, 'outside the car window' correctly describes where the scenery is located. Suggestion: use 'car window' in singular when speaking about the view from one window.

× Do you prefer the mountains or the sea?

✓ Do you prefer the mountains or the sea?

This sentence is grammatically correct and matches the examiner's question. No correction necessary. Suggestion: none.
