Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?

Personally, I prefer views in urban areas because normally in urban areas the technology is much more advanced than in rural areas, and I also live in urban areas so I will sit there often.

I would say that I prefer views in other countries like German and England. It's because my countries doesn't have snow season and I would like to visit countries that have snow season to try to hang out there and have fun, especially with my friends and family.
Do you like taking pictures of different views?
Điểm: 75.0Gợi ý: Your answer is clear and relevant, but it is slightly wordy and has minor naturalness issues. To improve: start with a concise topic sentence, avoid repetition (e.g., 'keep it as a memory in a photo' is redundant), and add one brief specific detail using a linking phrase (e.g., because/for example) to enrich the response. Keep to no more than 3–4 short sentences.
Ví dụ: Yes, I enjoy taking photos of different views. For example, when I walk past a beautiful garden I often stop to photograph the flowers because their colours change with the seasons and I like to remember those moments.
Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
Điểm: 58.0Gợi ý: Your answer addresses the question but the reasons are unclear and some wording is unnatural ('sit there often'). Improve by giving one clear, specific reason related to scenery (e.g., architecture, skyline, street life), use a linking word (because/so), and avoid general statements about technology unless you explain how that affects the view. Keep sentences concise and natural.
Ví dụ: I prefer views in urban areas because I enjoy modern architecture and lively street scenes. For example, city skylines at sunset and colourful street markets offer interesting subjects to photograph.
Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Điểm: 65.0Gợi ý: Good idea expressed, but grammar and specificity need work. Use a clear topic sentence, correct country names ('Germany' and 'England'), fix grammar ('my country doesn't have a snowy season'), and give one specific reason why snow scenes appeal to you (e.g., winter activities, different landscapes). Use a linking word such as 'because' or 'so' and keep it to two or three sentences.
Ví dụ: I prefer views in other countries, such as Germany or England, because they have snowy landscapes that we don't get at home. For instance, I want to experience snowy parks and winter festivals with my friends and family.
× I do like taking pictures of various sceneries, especially when I walk past a beautiful garden.
✓ I do like taking pictures of various scenes, especially when I walk past a beautiful garden.
'Scenery' is an uncountable noun and 'sceneries' is incorrect in standard English. Use the uncountable form 'scenery' or the countable plural 'scenes' if you mean individual views. Here 'various scenes' fits the meaning better.
× It's just a nice thing to do to keep it as a memory in a photo.
✓ It's just a nice thing to do to keep it as a memory in a photo.
Sentence is grammatically acceptable, but 'it' is vague. No change required by provided list; keep as is. If clarity is desired, replace 'it' with 'the moment' or 'the memory'.
× Personally, I prefer views in urban areas because normally in urban areas the technology is much more advanced than in rural areas, and I also live in urban areas so I will sit there often.
✓ Personally, I prefer views in urban areas because normally technology in cities is much more advanced than in rural areas, and I also live in an urban area so I visit there often.
Repetitive 'in urban areas' is stylistic; not a listed error, but corrections address quantifier/article use and verb choice. Use 'technology in cities' (more natural), use singular 'an urban area' for where you live, and 'visit' instead of 'sit' which is incorrect here. 'Will sit there often' mixes future with habitual action; use simple present 'visit' for habitual action.
× I would say that I prefer views in other countries like German and England.
✓ I would say that I prefer views in other countries like Germany and England.
Country names must be in their proper forms: 'Germany' not 'German'. Use the noun form for country names.
× It's because my countries doesn't have snow season and I would like to visit countries that have snow season to try to hang out there and have fun, especially with my friends and family.
✓ It's because my country doesn't have a snowy season and I would like to visit countries that have a snowy season to hang out and have fun, especially with my friends and family.
'My countries' is incorrect if referring to a single country; use 'my country'. With singular subject 'country' the verb must be 'doesn't' — that part was present but mismatched with 'countries'. Also 'snow season' is awkward; use 'a snowy season' or 'winter'. 'To try to hang out there' is wordy; 'to hang out' is sufficient. Adjusted for natural phrasing and subject-verb agreement.
