Do you look out the window at the scenery when travelling by bus or car?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: Be more concise and correct grammar. Begin with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid hesitation and filler words (uh). Correct verb forms and word order (e.g., “scrolling on my phone can get boring”).
Example: Yes, I usually look out of the window when I travel by bus or car. I find scrolling on my phone gets boring, and because I often get motion sickness, looking outside helps me relax and rest my eyes.
Do you take photos of the scenery outside the car window?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Start with a direct answer and avoid repetition. Use correct verb forms (e.g., “love capturing” or “love to capture”) and give one specific reason and a brief example. Remove hesitations and repetitive words.
Example: Yes, I often take photos from the car window because I love capturing interesting landscapes. For example, I recently photographed a dramatic sunset over rolling hills while on a road trip.
Do you prefer the mountains or the sea?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: Make a clear choice and explain reasons logically using linking words. Avoid contradicting yourself in one answer (you say prefer mountains then say you prefer sea). Use correct grammar (e.g., “I prefer the mountains because...” or “I prefer the sea because...”) and more precise vocabulary (hiking, reaching the peak).
Example: I prefer the sea because it is easier for me to enjoy—unlike mountains, which require difficult hikes to reach the best views. Also, the combination of the ocean and sky is very calming and photogenic.
× Yeah, I usually look out of the window because, uh, scrolling on my phone, uh, can gets boring and also I often suffer from motion sickness, so better for me to refresh my eyes, uh, from the screen.
✓ Yeah, I usually look out of the window because scrolling on my phone can get boring and I often suffer from motion sickness, so it's better for me to rest my eyes from the screen.
Original issues: incorrect verb form 'scrolling' used awkwardly and 'can gets' mixes modal + singular verb. 'Scrolling' as a gerund is fine but must be the subject of 'can get boring' so remove extra commas and filler words. Use 'can get' not 'can gets'. 'Better for me to refresh my eyes from the screen' is awkward; use 'it's better for me to rest my eyes from the screen.' Suggestion: keep gerund as subject ('scrolling on my phone can get boring'), use correct modal + base verb ('can get'), and use natural collocation ('rest my eyes').
× I think I quite often do that because I really love to capturing scenery, especially for, uh, from the car window because I think it's pretty, pretty beautiful and I also love to take a selfie myself.
✓ I think I quite often do that because I really love capturing scenery, especially from the car window because I think it's very beautiful, and I also like to take selfies.
Errors: 'love to capturing' mixes 'to' infinitive with a present participle; use either 'love to capture' or 'love capturing.' Also 'for, uh, from the car window' is redundant; use 'from the car window.' 'Pretty, pretty' is repetitive; use 'very' or one 'pretty.' 'Take a selfie myself' is wordy; prefer 'take selfies.' Suggestion: choose correct verb form (infinitive or -ing) consistently and remove redundant words.
× Personally I prefer mountain because the scenery is remarkable should be, but because I think it's quite hard for me to hiking and and reach to the peak of mountains.
✓ Personally I prefer the mountains because the scenery is remarkable, but I think it's quite hard for me to hike and reach the peaks of mountains.
Errors: 'mountain' should be plural 'the mountains' when speaking generally. 'To hiking' is wrong; after 'to' use base verb 'hike.' Remove duplicate 'and and.' 'Reach to the peak of mountains' should be 'reach the peaks of mountains' or 'reach the peak of a mountain.' Suggestion: use plural for general preference ('the mountains'), use base verb after 'to' and correct noun pluralization for consistency.
× So I prefer sea because sea is still have a beautiful scenery with the sky also.
✓ So I prefer the sea because it still has beautiful scenery with the sky as well.
Errors: missing articles: 'the sea' not just 'sea.' 'Sea is still have' mixes present simple 'is' with 'have'; use 'it still has.' 'A beautiful scenery' is awkward; use 'beautiful scenery' or 'a beautiful view.' 'With the sky also' is awkward; use 'with the sky as well.' Suggestion: include definite article for specific noun ('the sea'), use correct verb 'has' with singular subject, and use natural collocations ('beautiful scenery', 'as well').
