Views— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: You should give a clear topic sentence that directly answers the question, then add one or two concise supporting details. Avoid long fragmented phrases and repetition, use linking words for coherence, and keep to 3–4 sentences. Also correct basic grammar (e.g., tense and articles) and use specific vocabulary (e.g., ‘sunset light’, ‘landscapes’, ‘coastal scenery’).

Example: Yes, I enjoy taking pictures of different views. I especially like photographing coastal scenery in Da Nang and mountain landscapes when I travel off the beaten path because the light at sunset creates dramatic colors. I usually use my DSLR or a high-quality smartphone camera to capture those moments.

Suggestion: Start with a direct answer (urban, rural, or no preference). Then give one or two specific reasons with linking words (e.g., ‘however’, ‘for example’). Avoid repetition and unclear phrases. Use precise vocabulary (e.g., ‘city skylines’, ‘rural landscapes’, ‘lighting’, ‘textures’) and correct sentence structure.

Example: I don’t have a strong preference between urban and rural views. Urban areas offer dramatic city skylines and neon lights which are great at night, whereas rural landscapes provide natural textures like mountains and rivers that suit landscape photography. For example, I enjoy shooting city reflections on wet streets, but I also like capturing mountain ridges at sunrise.

Suggestion: Answer the question directly (own country or other countries) and give clear reasons with specific examples. Avoid unclear idioms and broken sentences. Keep answers concise (2–3 sentences) and use correct grammar and vocabulary (e.g., ‘bustling streets’, ‘historic architecture’, ‘natural scenery’).

Example: I prefer views in my own country, especially in Ho Chi Minh City and other Vietnamese locations. The combination of bustling streets, colorful markets, and nearby natural scenery makes them more memorable for me than the views I saw in the UK.

× Pictures and photographs of the breathtaking scenery of mountainous regions, of the scenic beauty of the coastal region of Danang, Vietnam.

✓ I like taking pictures and photographs of the breathtaking scenery of mountainous regions and the coastal beauty of Danang, Vietnam.

The original is a fragment without a main verb and contains redundant prepositional phrases. Combine phrases into a complete sentence with a subject and verb 'I like' and join similar items with 'and' to improve flow and grammaticality.

× When I'm on the go or when never have a chance to go off the beaten path and travel to places that I have never been before, or sometimes at the sunset.

✓ I take photos when I'm on the go, when I have a chance to go off the beaten path and travel to new places, or sometimes at sunset.

This fragment lacks proper subject-verb agreement and contains awkward phrasing 'when never have a chance.' Add a clear subject and verb ('I take photos'), remove redundancy ('places that I have never been before' -> 'new places'), and use 'at sunset' for idiomatic English.

× And I would just use my, well, megapixels and cameras actually.

✓ I usually just use my camera or phone, depending on the situation.

The original is informal and unclear ('megapixels and cameras'). Replace with a clear noun phrase 'camera or phone' and a suitable adverb 'usually' to complete the sentence and improve clarity.

× I would say I I just don't have a preference anymore on urban settings actually fosters views around more industrial and neon light that being shared.

✓ I would say I don't have a preference anymore; urban settings often feature more industrial scenes and neon lights.

The original mixes clauses incorrectly and uses 'fosters views around more industrial and neon light that being shared,' which is ungrammatical. Use present tense 'feature' to describe general truths, correct noun phrases ('neon lights'), and split into clearer clauses.

× As far of rural settings are I'm concerned.

✓ As far as rural settings are concerned,

Incorrect phrase 'As far of rural settings are I'm concerned.' should be 'As far as ... are concerned.' Rearranged to correct idiom; still a sentence fragment so should attach to following clause in speech or combine with next sentence.

× You can snap photographs. You can practice the art of photography by snapping photographs about trenches and mountains and oceans and rivers.

✓ You can snap photographs and practice the art of photography by photographing trenches, mountains, oceans, and rivers.

Using 'snapping photographs about' is awkward; replace with the verb 'photographing' (present participle) and use correct preposition/word choice. Also list items with commas and use parallel structure.

× I've been to the UK and before, but I really got to pour my heart out.

✓ I've been to the UK before, but I really have to pour my heart out.

'And before' is redundant and 'got to pour my heart out' mixes past tense 'got' with present sentiment. Use 'before' after the clause and present modal 'have to' or 'want to' to express current feeling.

× I'm on this and I'm going to go out on a limb to say that Ho Chi Minh City views in Vietnamese views and they're full of natural and breathtaking language.

✓ I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the views in Ho Chi Minh City and other Vietnamese cities are full of natural beauty and are breathtaking.

Original sentence is disjointed and uses 'language' incorrectly. Reorder clauses, insert definite article 'the views', and replace 'language' with 'beauty' to convey intended meaning.

× Step on what head and shoulder? Better than views in the UK and other countries.

✓ They are, in my opinion, better than the views in the UK and other countries.

'Step on what head and shoulder?' is nonsensical here. Provide a clear comparative sentence with subject 'They' and comparative structure 'better than' followed by 'the views in the UK and other countries.' Add 'in my opinion' for clarity of personal preference.

× I I should say, in terms of not only the concrete jungle.

✓ I should say that, in terms of more than just the concrete jungle, Vietnamese views offer much more variety.

The original repeats 'I' and is a fragment ending with a prepositional phrase. Complete the thought with a main clause, correct repetition, and clarify contrast between 'concrete jungle' and other scenery.
