Do you look out the window at the scenery when travelling by bus or car?
考生
Umm, yeah, I do really love to see the window outside as the scenery outside is very beautiful sometimes as the blue clouds and white clouds and blue skies, umm, do a contrast to the beautiful scenery that I'm watching outside. And sometimes there are so, so crowns on the ground, uh, on the grassland, eating grass.

Do you look out the window at the scenery when travelling by bus or car?
分数: 55.0建议: Be more concise and directly answer the question with a clear topic sentence. Avoid repetition (e.g. “window outside”, “scenery outside”) and filler words (umm). Use one or two specific details about what you enjoy and a linking word to connect ideas. Pronounce or choose correct words (e.g. “cows” not “crowns”). Keep the response within 3–4 sentences.
示例: Yes, I enjoy looking out of the window when I travel by bus or car. I especially like watching the changing landscape, such as fields with grazing cows and wide blue skies. Because it relaxes me, I often spend the whole journey observing the scenery and pointing out interesting sights to my friends.
Do you take photos of the scenery outside the car window?
分数: 60.0建议: Start with a clear direct answer (yes/no) and then give a concise reason. Reduce hesitation and unnecessary repetition. Use linking words (for example, however) to show contrast between past and present. Include a specific time reference or frequency to make the detail stronger.
示例: I used to take a lot of photos when I was younger because school trips took us to parks and gardens. However, now I rarely take pictures because I am busy and prefer to enjoy the view instead.
Do you prefer the mountains or the sea?
分数: 62.0建议: Give a clear preference in the topic sentence and briefly explain reasons using linking words (for example, because, but). Avoid repeating phrases and reduce hesitations. Provide one specific example or contrast (e.g. sea has marine life; mountains are peaceful with hiking). Keep it to 2–3 sentences for clarity.
示例: I prefer the mountains now because they are peaceful and I can relax while walking on grassy trails. I used to like the sea because of the interesting marine life and beach trips at school, but nowadays I enjoy the quiet atmosphere of mountains more.
× I do really love to see the window outside as the scenery outside is very beautiful sometimes as the blue clouds and white clouds and blue skies, umm, do a contrast to the beautiful scenery that I'm watching outside.
✓ I really love looking out of the window because the scenery is sometimes very beautiful; the blue and white clouds against the blue sky contrast with the landscape I'm watching.
Error type 13: incorrect use of adjectives/adverbs and word choice/word form. 'I do really love to see the window outside' is awkward: we 'look' or 'look out of a window' and 'see the window' is incorrect. Redundant 'outside' and repeated 'beautiful' create awkwardness. Use 'really love looking out of the window' and streamline the description ('blue and white clouds against the blue sky contrast with the landscape'). Also change 'do a contrast to' to 'contrast with'. Suggestion: use appropriate verb (look/look out) and pair nouns and verbs that collocate naturally; avoid repetition.
× And sometimes there are so, so crowns on the ground, uh, on the grassland, eating grass.
✓ And sometimes there are so many cows on the ground, on the grassland, eating grass.
Error type 1: singular and plural / wrong word choice. 'crowns' is a mistaken word for 'cows' (plural). Also 'so, so' is informal repetition; use 'so many' for quantity. Suggestion: choose the correct noun and use appropriate quantifier ('so many cows').
× Well, when I was younger, I sort of like it because our school used to bring us out to, uh, many places, for example, like playgrounds and gardens for us to take photos outside.
✓ Well, when I was younger, I sort of liked it because our school used to take us to many places, for example playgrounds and gardens, so we could take photos outside.
Error type 5: past tense inconsistency. The speaker sets the past context 'when I was younger' but uses present 'like' and mixes 'bring us out to'. Change to past 'liked' and 'used to take us to' and use 'so we could' for purpose. Suggestion: keep verbs in the same past tense for clarity.
× Umm, But we, when I got, umm, older, it's a it, it was a different story because I'm pretty busy and I don't usually take pictures.
✓ But when I got older, it was a different story because I'm pretty busy and I don't usually take pictures.
Error type 6: tense and sentence structure issues. Remove extraneous commas and filler 'we' which is not needed. 'it's a it, it was' is incorrect repetition; use 'it was a different story'. Present 'I'm pretty busy and I don't usually take pictures' is acceptable because the speaker is describing current habit. Suggestion: remove fillers and keep a single clear past clause followed by present explanation.
× Well, when I was younger, I sort of like to see because there are, I think that there are many different kinds of creatures in the sea.
✓ Well, when I was younger, I sort of liked seeing the sea because I think there are many different kinds of creatures in it.
Error type 8: verb + -ing form and tense consistency. In past context use 'liked seeing' rather than 'like to see' for natural phrasing. Also use 'in it' to refer to the sea. Suggestion: match verb forms to the time reference and use -ing after 'liked' for habitual past enjoyment.
× But, and our school also brought us to the beach to see some, umm, sea creatures.
✓ Our school also took us to the beach to see some sea creatures.
Error type 12: unnecessary conjunction and slightly awkward pronoun/structure. 'But, and' is redundant. 'Brought us to the beach' is understandable but 'took us to the beach' is more natural. Suggestion: remove redundant conjunctions and use the natural verb 'took'. Keep pronouns minimal.
× But umm, afterwards, when I got older, I find that a mountain is better because there is some grass and I can relax.
✓ But afterwards, when I got older, I found that mountains are better because there is grass and I can relax.
Error type 6: tense mismatch and singular/plural choice. The clause begins with past time 'when I got older' so main verb should be past 'found' not present 'find'. Also 'a mountain is better' is unnatural general preference; 'mountains are better' or 'the mountains are better' is preferred. 'There is some grass' can be simplified to 'there is grass'. Suggestion: keep past tense for past reflection and use plural or definite article for general comparisons.
