Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: Make the response more natural and complete.

Use correct plural forms and articles (“facilities and amenities”). Keep within five sentences and add specific details about what you like in urban views (architecture, parks, skyline) to demonstrate vocabulary range.
Ví dụ: In my opinion, I prefer urban views because cities offer a mix of modern architecture and convenient facilities. For example, I enjoy walking in well-designed parks and seeing skyline views from rooftops, and I like the variety of shops and cafés. Also, city streets often have interesting public art and lighting that make the scenery lively.

Điểm: 68.0Gợi ý: Clarify and refine the answer to be more fluent and logical. Begin with a direct topic sentence, correct small errors (use “landscapes” plural and say “I have never traveled abroad”), and connect ideas with linking words (“because” / “so” / “for example”). Add a specific example of a country or type of landscape you want to see to show concreteness and vocabulary variety.
Ví dụ: I prefer scenery in other countries because I have never traveled abroad and I want to see different landscapes and cultures. For example, I’d like to visit Japan to see its mountain temples and cherry blossoms, or Norway to photograph fjords and coastal views. Experiencing those places would broaden my perspective and inspire my photography.

✓ Yes, I enjoy photographing different landscapes because photos help me recapture the atmosphere and emotions I felt at that time, and a picture is worth more than 1,000 words. For example, I often take pictures of coastal sunsets and rainy city streets.
Errors: missing articles before countable nouns and incorrect idiom phrase. Use plural forms for general countable nouns (coastal sunsets, rainy city streets). Use the correct idiom 'a picture is worth a thousand words' instead of 'worse than 1000 words'. Add commas to separate clauses. Suggestion: learn common English idioms and remember to use plural forms and articles with countable nouns when speaking generally. (Grammar problem type ID:17)

✓ In my opinion, I prefer views in urban areas to those in rural areas because cities offer many facilities and amenities that make life more convenient. For example, I enjoy visiting modern parks and shopping areas.
Errors: 'In my opinions' should be singular 'In my opinion'. 'Facility' should be plural 'facilities' to match 'many'. The phrase 'seeing modern parks, shopping' is incomplete and unclear; use verbs and parallel nouns ('visiting modern parks and shopping areas'). Suggestion: use singular form for the set phrase 'in my opinion', ensure noun number matches quantifiers, and maintain parallel structure in lists. (Grammar problem type ID:12)

✓ For me, I prefer the scenery in other countries rather than in my own because I have never been abroad. I want to travel to different places to see new landscapes and experience different cultures.
Errors: 'landscape' should be plural 'landscapes' when referring to various kinds of scenery. 'I have never been abroad before' is acceptable but more natural as 'I have never been abroad' (no need for 'before'). Suggestion: pluralize general countable nouns when speaking about variety and avoid redundant adverbs like 'before' after present perfect when context already implies it. (Grammar problem type ID:10)
