Điểm: 68.0Gợi ý: Be more concise and organize your answer: start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific reasons or an example. Reduce filler words (uh, um) and avoid repeating phrases. Use specific vocabulary (e.g., "landscapes," "street scenes," "souvenirs") and limit to 3–4 sentences.
Ví dụ: Yes, I enjoy taking photos of different views. I do it mainly to preserve memories and to learn about local cultures, especially when I travel. For example, when I walk through a new neighborhood I often photograph street scenes and architecture to remember the atmosphere.
Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
Điểm: 52.0Gợi ý: Clarify your preference and support it with a specific reason. Avoid contradicting statements. Use linking words (however, because, although) to make your logic clear, and correct basic grammar (e.g., "better compared to"). Keep to 2–3 sentences.
Ví dụ: Although both urban and rural views can be beautiful, I prefer photographing urban scenes because I live in a city and enjoy capturing the contrast of modern buildings and busy streets. However, I also visit rural areas for natural landscapes when I want peaceful, scenic photos.

× 'Personally, I like taking pictures of different views just to take my memories and explore the new locations, cultures and so on.'
✓ 'Personally, I like taking pictures of different views to preserve my memories and explore new locations and cultures.'
'The original uses "just to take my memories" which is unnatural and mixes tenses/phrases. "Like" expresses present habit so use simple present phrasing. Replace "take my memories" with "preserve my memories" and simplify "the new locations, cultures and so on" to "new locations and cultures" for grammatical clarity.'
× 'Uh, but I'm not professionally in this case.'
✓ 'Uh, but I'm not a professional photographer.'
'"Not professionally in this case" incorrectly uses an adverb where a noun phrase is needed. The speaker means their profession/skill level, so use the noun phrase "a professional photographer." This matches the present-tense context.'
× 'I randomly take few pictures during my walking, uh, during my roaming time.'
✓ 'I randomly take a few pictures while I'm walking around.'
'"Few pictures" without an article implies scarcity; "a few" is the intended meaning. "During my walking" and "during my roaming time" are awkward; use "while I'm walking around." This corrects noun number usage and improves natural phrasing.'
× 'Uh beauty can be good on rural or urban area but I live in urban area and most of the time I go to explore the rural areas so the nature is much better is comparing the old one.'
✓ 'Beauty can be found in rural or urban areas, but I live in an urban area and most of the time I go to explore rural areas, so the nature there is much better compared to the city.'
'The original has several preposition and comparison errors: use "in" for areas, pluralize "areas" when generalizing, add the article "an" before "urban area" when singular, and use "compared to" for comparisons. Reorder the sentence for clarity.'
× 'So personally I will I prefer to take from the urban area.'
✓ 'So personally I prefer to take pictures in urban areas.'
'"Will I prefer" is incorrect because "prefer" already expresses a present habitual choice; using "will" is unnecessary. Also use "in urban areas" rather than "from the urban area." Simplify to present simple tense.'
× 'I haven't got chance to visit many countries, however I visited a few places of my country and I really love it.'
✓ 'I haven't had the chance to visit many countries; however, I have visited a few places in my country and I really love them.'
'Use present perfect "haven't had" for experience up to now. "Visited a few places of my country" is unnatural; use "in my country." Also match plural "places" with plural pronoun "them" instead of "it." Maintain present perfect where appropriate.'
× 'The mountains, the hills, rivers and the every natural things.'
✓ 'The mountains, hills, rivers and all natural things.'
'"The every natural things" is ungrammatical; use "all natural things" or better, list specific features without extra articles: "mountains, hills, rivers, and other natural features." Remove unnecessary definite articles.'
× 'These are so mesmerizing and for now I would prefer to.'
✓ 'These are so mesmerizing, and for now I would prefer to stay in my country.'
'The original ends abruptly with "prefer to" without an object, creating a sentence structure error. Add the intended object or clause (for example, "stay in my country" or "visit places here") to complete the sentence. Also add a comma to join clauses.'
