Examinador
Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Candidato
I was at both. In my country, you know, China is vast, so we have different province and different traditional cultures. Also various landscape. Like in Sichuan province you can see mountains and rivers, streaming rivers. But in Jiangsu province you could see villages. It's quite different.
Do you like taking pictures of different views?
Pontuação: 72.0Sugestão: Be more concise and fluent: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid filler words (uh, um, so), and add one specific detail about what kinds of views you prefer to make the answer richer. Keep it within 3–4 sentences.
Exemplo: Yes, I enjoy photography, especially when I travel. I often photograph city skylines and coastal landscapes because I like contrasting architecture with natural scenery. For example, I took many photos of the harbor and waterfront during my last trip.
Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
Pontuação: 66.0Sugestão: Give one clear opinion with a reason, use linking words for coherence, and add a specific example to support your view. Remove repeated phrases and fillers to improve fluency.
Exemplo: I prefer urban views because I enjoy modern architecture and lively streets. However, I also appreciate rural scenery for its rivers and mountains, which feel peaceful. For instance, I love photographing busy markets and tall buildings in my city, but I also visit nearby mountains for nature shots.
Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Pontuação: 70.0Sugestão: Start with a clear statement of preference or say you like both, then give concise, specific examples with linking words. Avoid vague phrases and correct minor grammar (e.g., 'different provinces', 'streaming rivers' → 'fast-flowing rivers'). Keep it to 3–4 sentences.
Exemplo: I enjoy views both in my country and abroad because each offers unique scenes. For example, in China the landscapes vary greatly: Sichuan has dramatic mountains and fast-flowing rivers, while Jiangsu is known for its tranquil villages and waterways. These contrasts make photographing domestic locations very rewarding.
× Yeah, I'm, I like photography.
✓ Yeah, I like photography.
The original includes an unnecessary contracted 'I'm' before 'I like', which creates a tense/structure confusion. Remove the extra 'I'm' to form a simple present statement describing a general preference. Suggestion: use 'I like photography' for clarity and correct present tense usage.
× So, uh, when I travel, I do take pictures of different views.
✓ So, when I travel, I take pictures of different views.
The phrase 'do take' is grammatically acceptable for emphasis but sounds unnatural here. Using simple present 'I take' is more natural for habitual actions. Suggestion: use simple present for routines unless emphasizing.
× As for rural area, it shows a different landscape, maybe rivers and mountains.
✓ As for rural areas, they show different landscapes, maybe rivers and mountains.
'Rural area' should be plural 'rural areas' when contrasted with urban areas in general. Also 'it shows' should agree with plural subject, so use 'they show'. 'Landscape' should be plural 'landscapes' to match 'areas'. Suggestion: ensure number agreement between subject and verb and pluralize countable nouns when speaking generally.
× I think umm cities are more convenient.
✓ I think cities are more convenient.
The filler 'umm' is unnecessary; removing it yields a clear present-tense opinion. The tense is fine but sentence clarity improves by omitting fillers. Suggestion: avoid hesitation fillers in formal responses.
× I was at both.
✓ I have been to both.
'I was at both' is unidiomatic. To indicate experience up to now, use present perfect 'I have been to both'. Also 'to' is the correct preposition with 'been' for places. Suggestion: use present perfect for life experiences.
× China is vast, so we have different province and different traditional cultures.
✓ China is vast, so we have different provinces and different traditional cultures.
'Province' should be plural 'provinces' to agree with 'different'. Use plural when referring to multiple administrative regions. Suggestion: pluralize countable nouns when referring to more than one.
× Also various landscape.
✓ We also have various landscapes.
The fragment lacks a verb and wrong number: 'landscape' should be plural 'landscapes' and include a verb 'we have' to make a complete sentence. Suggestion: ensure complete clause structure and correct noun number.
× Like in Sichuan province you can see mountains and rivers, streaming rivers.
✓ For example, in Sichuan province you can see mountains and rivers, flowing rivers.
'Streaming rivers' is awkward; 'flowing rivers' or simply 'rivers' is more natural. Also add a connector like 'For example' and commas for clarity. Suggestion: choose natural collocations (flowing rivers) and use introductory phrases for examples.
× But in Jiangsu province you could see villages.
✓ But in Jiangsu province you can see villages.
Using 'could' suggests conditional or past ability; since the speaker is describing general present features, use present 'can'. Suggestion: use 'can' for general truths and present descriptions.
× It's quite different.
✓ They are quite different.
'It's' (it is) refers to a singular subject, but the speaker compares multiple places/landscapes, so plural 'They are quite different' agrees with the intended plural subject. Suggestion: ensure pronoun agrees in number with referenced items.
