Views— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be concise and correct grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition, and limit to 2–3 sentences. Use linking words if adding details and provide a specific example to make your answer more vivid.

Example: Yes, I enjoy taking photos of different views because it lets me capture special moments. For example, I often photograph sunsets in the park and share them with friends to remember fun evenings together.

Suggestion: Organize your answer: give a direct opinion first, then one or two clear reasons with correct grammar and fewer hesitations. Use linking words like 'because' and 'so' properly and avoid contradictory statements.

Example: I prefer rural views because they are peaceful and less crowded. For instance, living in a busy city makes me miss open fields and quiet countryside walks, so I often visit nearby villages to relax.

Suggestion: Be clear and confident: state your choice directly, avoid hesitations and repetition. Use correct grammar and give a specific reason or example. Avoid comparing vaguely; explain what is new or interesting about other countries.

Example: I prefer views in other countries because they offer different landscapes and cultures. For example, I recently saw photos of rural Japan with quiet rice terraces and thought those scenes felt fresher and more interesting than the familiar cityscapes in Hong Kong.

× I love to taking pictures because I can share those kind of memories through photos with friends.

✓ I love taking pictures because I can share those kinds of memories through photos with friends.

After 'love' we use the gerund form 'taking' not the infinitive 'to taking'. Also 'those kind' should be 'those kinds' or better 'those kinds of memories' or simply 'those memories' to match plural 'those' with plural noun. Suggestion: use 'I love taking pictures' and 'those kinds of memories' or 'those memories'.

× I love to taking pictures because I can share those kind of memories through photos with friends.

✓ I love taking pictures because I can share those kinds of memories through photos with friends.

The phrase 'those kind of memories' is incorrect because 'those' refers to plural and must match a plural noun form 'kinds'. Use 'those kinds of memories' or 'those memories'. This fixes number agreement.

× Umm, I would say I prefer the views from rural areas because I'm now in the countryside, I'm now living in the urban areas.

✓ Umm, I would say I prefer views from rural areas because I currently live in an urban area.

The original contains contradictory and awkward clauses and incorrect article use 'the countryside' then 'the urban areas'. Simplify and make subject consistent: 'I currently live in an urban area' is concise and grammatically correct. Use singular 'an urban area' to refer to where one lives.

× I'm always touching, so those kind of crowded views and also buildings.

✓ I'm always surrounded by crowded views and buildings.

'I'm always touching' is incorrect and unclear. Likely intended meaning is 'surrounded by' or 'surrounded with'. Also 'those kind' should be 'those kinds' or better 'crowded views'. Use a verb phrase that correctly expresses being in proximity: 'surrounded by'.

× So now I want to get rid of it and then try to step into the umm, rural areas.

✓ So now I want to get rid of it and try to go to the rural areas.

'Try to step into' is awkward; use 'try to go to' or 'step into' without 'try to'. Also 'rural areas' is fine but 'the rural areas' or 'rural areas' depending on context. Use simpler verb forms for natural speech.

× I would say that I would prefer in our countries, uh, sorry, in other countries because umm, I've been looking for our country's views a lot of time and get tired of it and it's kind of bored.

✓ I would say that I prefer other countries because I've seen my country's views many times and am tired of them.

Pronoun use and verb forms are incorrect: 'prefer in our countries' -> 'prefer other countries'. 'I've been looking for our country's views a lot of time' is ungrammatical; correct to 'I've seen my country's views many times'. 'Get tired of it' should be 'am tired of them' to agree in number with 'views'. Also 'it's kind of bored' should be 'it's kind of boring' if referring to the views, but better to say 'I am tired of them'.

× and it's kind of bored.

✓ and it's kind of boring.

'Bored' describes a person feeling uninterested; 'boring' describes something that causes boredom. Since the speaker describes views, use 'boring' or rephrase as 'I am bored by them'.

× But in other country it's all The thing is new.

✓ But in other countries everything is new.

'Other country' should be plural 'other countries' or 'another country'. 'It's all The thing is new' is fragmented; combine to 'everything is new'. Ensure subject-verb agreement: 'everything is new'.

× And I would say that the other places is better than Hong Kong.

✓ And I would say that other places are better than Hong Kong.

Subject-verb agreement error: 'other places' is plural, so use 'are' not 'is'. Also 'the other places' is unnecessary; 'other places' is natural.
