Do you prefer the mountains or the sea?
Điểm: 40.0Gợi ý: Give a direct preference and clear reasons. Avoid unclear phrases like 'prefer to see more' and many hesitations. State which you prefer (mountains or sea), provide two brief specific reasons or an example, and use linking words such as 'because' and 'for example.' Keep it to 2–3 sentences.
Ví dụ: I prefer the sea because I enjoy taking photos on the beach and listening to the waves, which helps me relax. For example, when I visit the coast I often walk along the shore at sunset and take pictures of the sky and reflections on the water.
× 'taking photos is one of my favorite thing to do'
✓ 'taking photos is one of my favorite things to do'
'Thing' should be plural 'things' because the expression "one of my favorite ..." requires a plural noun after 'favorite' to indicate one item from a group. Suggestion: use 'things' or rephrase to 'one of my favorite activities'.
× 'every time when I commuting by bus or car'
✓ 'every time when I commute by bus or car'
'Commuting' is a present participle; the correct simple present form 'commute' is required after 'I' for habitual action. Also remove 'when' or keep 'when' but use 'commute'. Suggestion: say 'every time I commute by bus or car.'
× 'I always choose to to sit'
✓ 'I always choose to sit'
'To to' is a duplication; remove the extra 'to'. The verb phrase 'choose to sit' is correct with 'I always' as subject; ensure only single 'to' before the infinitive.
× 'and. Yes, and I can see everyone every, uh.'
✓ 'Yes. I can see many people and the scenery.'
The original is fragmented and unclear. It contains an extra conjunction 'and' and an incomplete phrase 'everyone every'. Clarify meaning: if the student means seeing people and scenery, restructure into complete sentences. Suggestion: 'Yes. I can see many people and the scenery.'
× 'taking photos is one of my favorite thing to do, so I usually, uh, capture any moment I can see when I, uh, sit next to the window of the car when I'm traveling'
✓ 'Taking photos is one of my favorite things to do, so I usually capture any moment I can see when I sit next to the car window while I'm traveling'
'Taking' as sentence-initial gerund is fine but needed capitalization; fixed plural 'things' (see earlier). Removed filler 'uh' and duplicated 'when'. Replaced 'next to the window of the car' with more natural 'next to the car window' and used 'while I'm traveling' for smoother tense continuity.
× 'I prefer to see more because umm, I like umm, working and working and umm, taking photos on the beach, uh, and when I listen.'
✓ 'I prefer the sea because I like relaxing and taking photos on the beach, and I also like listening to music'
Original has unclear phrasing and tense mismatches. 'Prefer to see more' is vague; context asks mountains or sea so 'prefer the sea' is clearer. 'Working and working' is repetitive and likely incorrect; replaced with 'relaxing'. The final fragment 'and when I listen' is incomplete; clarified to 'listening to music.' Ensure parallel structure and complete ideas.
