Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
Thí sinh
I definitely prefer bells in rural areas because I live in Shanghai which is a large and a modern city and I lead a fast pacing life every day. So if I can see the rural areas I will feel more relaxed and I could probably let my mind be free.

Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Thí sinh
I don't really care the bills are in my own country or in other country as long as they are new to me because I need. I'd like to take some challenges so I really like the views when I climb to the top of the mountain or after like 10 hours of the flight I found.
Do you like taking pictures of different views?
Điểm: 45.0Gợi ý: Pronunciation and vocabulary errors ("veils" vs "views"), grammar mistakes (tense and subject agreement), and some unclear sentences reduce clarity. Keep answers natural, concise (max 5 sentences), start with a clear topic sentence, and give 1–2 specific supporting details using linking words. For example, correct word choice, consistent tense, and a concluding remark about why you like taking photos will improve coherence and score.
Ví dụ: Yes, I enjoy taking pictures of different views, especially when I travel. For example, I often photograph the sea, mountains, and sky because they change with the light and weather. These photos remind me of special moments, so I look at them often to relive those memories.
Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
Điểm: 55.0Gợi ý: The answer communicates a clear preference but contains pronunciation/word-choice errors ("bells"), minor grammar issues, and some redundancy. Start with a direct topic sentence, then give 1–2 specific reasons using linking words (e.g., "because", "so"). Keep sentences concise and correct collocations ("fast-paced life").
Ví dụ: I prefer views in rural areas because I live in Shanghai, a busy modern city. Rural scenery helps me relax and feel calmer, so I enjoy visiting the countryside on weekends to clear my mind.
Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Điểm: 40.0Gợi ý: This answer is confusing due to word-choice errors ("bills"), grammar issues, and unclear meaning. Provide a clear topic sentence stating preference (or indifference), then give specific supporting details and connect ideas with linking words. Avoid vague phrases like "I need" and incomplete clauses. Mention concrete examples of what you like about foreign or domestic views.
Ví dụ: I don't mind whether the views are in my own country or abroad, as long as they are new to me. For instance, I enjoy the feeling of reaching a mountain summit after a long climb, or seeing a city skyline after a long flight, because new places give me a sense of discovery.
× Yes, I do like taking pictures of different veils, especially when I go traveling to many different places.
✓ Yes, I do like taking pictures of different views, especially when I go traveling to many different places.
The student used 'veils' (a noun meaning cloth) instead of 'views' (scenery). This is a word choice error rather than grammatical form; it affects meaning. Suggestion: use the correct noun 'views' when referring to scenery.
× I remembered I took some pictures about the seas, the oceans, the mountains, and even the skies.
✓ I remember I took some pictures of the seas, the oceans, the mountains, and even the skies.
Using 'remembered' suggests a past-in-past reference; in a spoken narrative it is more natural to say 'I remember' to indicate the memory still stands. Also, 'pictures about' is incorrect collocation; use 'pictures of'. Suggestion: use present simple 'remember' for enduring memories and 'pictures of' with objects.
× It these pictures left a good memory for me every time I looked at them.
✓ These pictures leave me with good memories every time I look at them.
Sentence structure is incorrect: 'It these pictures left' is ungrammatical. Use subject 'These pictures' + present simple 'leave' to match the habitual meaning 'every time I look at them'. Also 'a good memory' should be plural 'good memories' or 'a good memory' with different structure. Suggestion: rephrase to 'These pictures leave me with good memories every time I look at them.'
× I remember the good men.
✓ I remember the good moments.
'The good men' is incorrect and changes meaning; likely the student intended 'good moments' (events) or 'good memories'. This is a pronoun/noun choice error causing semantic confusion. Suggestion: replace with 'good moments' or 'good memories' to convey remembered experiences.
× I definitely prefer bells in rural areas because I live in Shanghai which is a large and a modern city and I lead a fast pacing life every day.
✓ I definitely prefer being in rural areas because I live in Shanghai, which is a large, modern city, and I lead a fast-paced life every day.
'bells' is incorrect word choice for 'being' or 'views'; 'fast pacing' is wrong adjective form; use compound adjective 'fast-paced'. Also include commas around the nonrestrictive clause. Suggestion: use 'being in rural areas' or 'rural areas' and 'fast-paced' with a hyphen.
× So if I can see the rural areas I will feel more relaxed and I could probably let my mind be free.
✓ So if I can see rural areas, I feel more relaxed and can probably let my mind be free.
Mixed conditional/modal use: 'if I can see... I will feel' is okay but 'could probably' conflicts with simple present 'feel'. For general truths use present simple: 'if I see..., I feel...' Also 'let my mind be free' is awkward; 'let my mind be free' is acceptable but 'clear my mind' or 'my mind feel free' better. Suggestion: use consistent present tense for habitual statements: 'if I see..., I feel... and can probably...'
× I don't really care the bills are in my own country or in other country as long as they are new to me because I need.
✓ I don't really care whether the views are in my own country or in another country, as long as they are new to me because I need them.
Multiple issues: 'care the bills are' is incorrect structure; use 'care whether'. 'Bills' should be 'views'. 'other country' needs article 'another country'. The clause 'because I need' is incomplete; specify object 'them'. Suggestion: use 'whether' for alternatives, 'another country', and include the object after 'need'.
× I'd like to take some challenges so I really like the views when I climb to the top of the mountain or after like 10 hours of the flight I found.
✓ I'd like to take on some challenges, so I really enjoy views when I climb to the top of a mountain or after about ten hours of a flight.
Several structural errors: 'take some challenges' should be 'take on some challenges'; run-on sentence with unclear segments; 'after like 10 hours of the flight I found' is ungrammatical. Use 'after about ten hours of a flight' and 'enjoy views' instead of 'like the views'. Suggestion: break into clearer clauses and use correct verbs: 'take on', 'enjoy', and 'after about ten hours of a flight'.
