Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Thí sinh
I have no preference because in geography all the world has the same types of landforms, so actually the things in my own country and other countries are quite similar. My country is huge enough to cover all those landscapes.

Ví dụ: I don’t really have a preference because many countries share similar landforms. For example, my country has mountains, beaches and forests, so I can enjoy a variety of views at home as well as abroad.
× Yes, I like taking pictures of gorgeous views that impress me, that I would like to remember. Like in later life I when I record of that memory I would try to find those pictures let me feel I see the view again.

Errors: sentence structure, unnecessary words, incorrect verb forms and prepositions. Specific issues match Grammar Problem Type IDs 26 (Sentence structure errors), 9 (Verb in the past participle form) partly for 'record of' misuse, 11 (Incorrect use of prepositions) for 'record of', 6 (Present tense issue) and 7 (Future tense issue) because tenses were inconsistent. Why: 'that I would like to remember' is awkward—use simple present 'want' for a general preference. 'Like in later life I when I record of that memory' is ungrammatical; correct to 'Later in life, when I recall that memory'. 'Record of' is incorrect collocation; use 'recall' or 'remember'. 'I would try to find those pictures let me feel I see the view again' mixes structures; replace with 'I will try to find those pictures so I can feel as if I am seeing the view again.' Suggestion: simplify clauses, use correct verbs (recall, want), keep tense consistent (present for general preference, future for actions in later life), and use linkers like 'so' or 'so that' to show purpose.
× I prefer views in rural areas because rather than enjoy, uh, enjoying the uh, architecture, the modern city views, uh, I would, I mean more into nature since uh, the mountain, the river.
✓ I prefer views in rural areas because, rather than enjoying architecture and modern city views, I am more into nature, such as mountains and rivers.
Errors match Grammar Problem Type IDs 11 (Incorrect use of prepositions) and 8 (Verb + -ing form) and 26 (Sentence structure errors). Why: 'rather than enjoy, uh, enjoying' is redundant and ungrammatical; use 'rather than enjoying' or 'instead of enjoying'. 'I would, I mean more into nature' is missing a linking verb; correct to 'I am more into nature'. 'since uh, the mountain, the river' is a wrong connector and singular nouns without articles/plural forms; correct to 'such as mountains and rivers' or 'for example, mountains and rivers.' Suggestion: choose one comparative structure ('rather than' + verb-ing), include the verb 'am' for state descriptions, and use plural or appropriate articles for examples.
× I have no preference because in geography all the world has the same types of landforms, so actually the things in my own country and other countries are quite similar. My country is huge enough to cover all those landscapes.
✓ I have no preference because, geographically, the whole world has similar types of landforms, so places in my country and in other countries can be quite similar. My country is large enough to include most of those landscapes.
Errors correspond to Grammar Problem Type IDs 1 (Singular and plural issue), 11 (Incorrect use of prepositions/word choice), and 6 (Present tense issue) for awkward phrasing. Why: 'in geography all the world' is unnatural; use 'geographically, the whole world'. 'the same types of landforms' is acceptable but 'similar types' is more natural. 'the things in my own country' is vague; use 'places' or 'landscapes'. 'My country is huge enough to cover all those landscapes' is slightly off; 'large enough to include most of those landscapes' is clearer and uses 'include' rather than 'cover.' Suggestion: use 'geographically' as an adverb, prefer 'whole world' or 'the world', use plural nouns appropriately, and use verbs like 'include' for encompassing areas.
