Views— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and correct grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons or examples using linking words. Avoid repetition and filler sounds. Also correct plural and article errors (e.g., “taking pictures,” “as memories,” “look at them”).

Example: Yes, I enjoy taking pictures of different views because they help me preserve memories. For example, when I visit a new city I usually photograph the skyline and local parks so I can remember the atmosphere later.

Suggestion: Give a direct answer first (urban or rural or both), then support it with clear reasons and one specific example. Remove hesitations and correct contradictions (e.g., saying you prefer both but mostly live in a city). Use linking words like “however” or “because.”

Example: I prefer both kinds of views for different purposes. For example, I like urban views for convenience and nightlife, but when I need to relax I go to nearby rural areas because the countryside is quieter and less stressful.

Suggestion: Answer directly (I prefer views in New Zealand/other countries) and provide specific comparisons and reasons. Correct grammar (e.g., “my country doesn’t have many scenic spots,” “New Zealand is known for its nature”). Keep it to two or three sentences and use linking words like “however” or “for example.”

Example: I prefer views in New Zealand because it is famous for its natural scenery. For example, the snowy mountains and coastal landscapes here are much more impressive than the limited scenic spots near my hometown, especially during winter when everything looks spectacular.

× I really do like taking picture whenever I visit the place and keeping them as a as as memories to get to look them for long time to look at them from time to time, Yeah.

✓ I really do like taking pictures whenever I visit a place and keeping them as memories to look at from time to time.

Errors: 'taking picture' should be plural 'taking pictures' when referring to photos in general (count noun). 'the place' is unnatural; use 'a place' for any place visited. Extra words 'as a as as' are repetitions and incorrect article use; use 'as memories'. 'to get to look them for long time to look at them' is redundant and ungrammatical; use 'to look at from time to time'. Suggestions: use plural for countable nouns, remove repetitions, and simplify phrases to avoid redundancy.

× To be honest, I do prefer both sometimes when I wanna relax and go far from the hustle and bustle of the city.

✓ To be honest, I do prefer both sometimes when I want to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Error: 'wanna' is informal spoken contraction; in standard grammar use 'want to'. 'go far from' is unnatural; use 'get away from' or 'go away from'. Suggestion: replace informal contractions in formal responses and use natural collocations like 'get away from the hustle and bustle'.

× Prefer to go uh, uh, to, for a few days in the, in an uh, in an urban, I mean in a rural area close to where I live.

✓ I prefer to go for a few days to a rural area close to where I live.

Errors: sentence fragments and hesitations left the sentence ungrammatical. 'Prefer to go' needs a subject 'I'. 'in an urban, I mean in a rural area' contradicts itself; corrected to 'a rural area'. Suggestion: remove hesitations, include subject, and place prepositional phrases in natural order: 'go for a few days to a rural area'.

× And most of the time I do prefer to live in a city.

✓ Most of the time I prefer to live in the city.

Issue: tense and auxiliary overuse—'do prefer' is acceptable for emphasis but sounds awkward with 'to live in a city'. Using 'prefer to live in the city' is more natural. Also 'a city' vs 'the city': when speaking generally about urban life, 'the city' is common. Suggestion: simplify to 'I prefer' unless emphasis is needed.

× In my country there are not a lot of views there, just in specific places, and it's far from where I live.

✓ In my country there are not a lot of views, only in specific places, and they are far from where I live.

Errors: repetition of 'there'. 'views there' is redundant. 'it's far from where I live' uses singular 'it' for plural 'views'; should be 'they are far'. Suggestion: avoid repeating words and ensure pronoun agrees in number with the noun it refers to.

× But here in New Zealand, where I live right now, it's full of beautiful and wonderful views and New Zealand knowns for their nature, so it blows my mind, especially in winter.

✓ But here in New Zealand, where I live right now, it is full of beautiful views, and New Zealand is known for its nature, so it blows my mind, especially in winter.

Errors: 'it's' is acceptable but 'beautiful and wonderful' is redundant; simplify to 'beautiful views'. 'New Zealand knowns' is incorrect verb form; needs auxiliary 'is known'. 'their nature' uses plural possessive for a country; use 'its nature'. Suggestions: use correct present simple passive 'is known', match possessive pronoun to singular country 'its', and avoid redundant adjectives.
