Ví dụ: Yes, I enjoy photographing different views in my country because the landscapes are very diverse. For example, I often take pictures of coastal cliffs and quiet rice terraces, which I find calming, especially at sunrise.

Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: Make the answer concise and avoid repeating phrases. Begin with a clear topic sentence, then offer specific examples or reasons and a linking word such as "because" or "for example." Try to use a wider range of vocabulary (e.g., "lush forests," "parks," "scenic hills") rather than repeating "beautiful."
Ví dụ: I prefer views in my own country because we have many lush green areas. For example, there are scenic hills and well-kept parks full of native trees and plants that are great for photography.
× Yes, I like taking pictures of different views in our country because it is beautiful and relaxing view.
✓ Yes, I like taking pictures of different views in our country because the scenery is beautiful and relaxing.
The sentence uses 'it is beautiful and relaxing view' which is incorrect because 'view' is a noun and needs an article or a different noun. Also 'it is' followed by 'view' is awkward. Replace 'it is beautiful and relaxing view' with 'the scenery is beautiful and relaxing' to use a correct noun phrase and natural adjective use. Use plural or uncountable noun 'scenery' or 'views' with 'are' if preferred.
× I prefer in the urban areas because I love the city lights.
✓ I prefer urban areas because I love the city lights.
The phrase 'prefer in the urban areas' incorrectly uses the preposition 'in'. 'Prefer' should be followed directly by the noun or by 'prefer X to Y'. Removing 'in' and the definite article yields a natural construction: 'I prefer urban areas.' If contrasting, you could say 'I prefer urban areas to rural areas.'
× I prefer in my country because in my country the views are very beautiful, like greenery, plants, beautiful trees.
✓ I prefer my country because the views here are very beautiful, with lots of greenery, plants, and lovely trees.
The original repeats 'in my country' and uses 'prefer in my country' which incorrectly places the preposition after 'prefer.' 'Prefer' should be followed by the object directly: 'I prefer my country.' Also the list 'like greenery, plants, beautiful trees' is awkward; use 'with' to introduce features and parallel nouns with conjunctions. Replace 'beautiful trees' with 'lovely trees' to avoid repetition of 'beautiful.'
