分數: 78.0建議: Be careful with accuracy and clarity: say “look out” instead of “get outside,” and avoid small grammar errors. Begin with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Keep it within 3–4 sentences and avoid redundancy.
範例: Yes, I usually look out of the window when I travel by bus or car, especially in a new place.

× Yes, I often get outside when I'm traveling by bus or car, especially if it's a new place for me.
✓ Yes, I often get out when I'm traveling by bus or car, especially if it's a new place for me.
The student used the preposition phrase 'get outside' incorrectly for leaving a vehicle. 'Get out' is the correct phrasal verb for exiting a bus or car. Use 'get out (of)' for vehicles or enclosed spaces; 'get outside' means move to the outdoors from inside a building and is not appropriate here.
× And I sometimes spot interesting places or things I would like to check out later.
✓ I sometimes spot interesting places or things that I would like to check out later.
This sentence is mostly correct but benefits from adding the relative pronoun 'that' for clarity and formality. This is not strictly a preposition error but an issue with sentence structure and clarity; adding 'that' improves cohesion.
× Yes, I love capturing beautiful landscapes from car window, especially when I'm traveling.
✓ Yes, I love capturing beautiful landscapes from the car window, especially when I'm traveling.
The noun phrase needs a definite article 'the' before 'car window' because it refers to a specific window (the one the speaker is looking through). Omitting the article is an article error. Alternative: 'from a car window' if speaking in general.
× Sometimes the view is too amazing not to take a picture and I love sharing those pictures on social media or.
✓ Sometimes the view is too amazing not to take a picture, and I love sharing those pictures on social media.
The original sentence has a dangling conjunction and an incomplete ending ('or.'). Removing 'or' and adding a comma before 'and' fixes the compound sentence structure. Also adding the comma clarifies the two coordinated clauses.
× I definitely prefer the mountains.
✓ I definitely prefer the mountains.
This sentence is correct. 'The mountains' properly refers to mountains in general as a preference. No change needed.
× It's much quieter than sea, so I can relax myself and enjoy the fresh air.
✓ It's much quieter than the sea, so I can relax and enjoy the fresh air.
Comparison with a noun requires the definite article 'the' before 'sea' when speaking generally about that environment. Also 'relax myself' is unnatural in English; use simply 'relax'. Removing the reflexive pronoun corrects the phrasing.
× Watching a sunrise from a mountaintop is an unforgettable memory for me.
✓ Watching a sunrise from a mountaintop is an unforgettable experience for me.
'Unforgettable memory' is not idiomatic; we typically say 'unforgettable experience' or 'a memory I'll never forget.' Changing to 'experience' corrects word choice (adjective/noun use) and improves naturalness.
