Views— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your answer is clear and relevant, but it is slightly repetitive and contains fillers. Aim to start with a direct topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details and a brief example. Use linking words to connect ideas and avoid hesitation sounds like “uh.” Also try to vary vocabulary (for example, use “landscapes,” “wildlife,” or “portraits” instead of repeating “take pictures”). Keep to a maximum of about 3–4 sentences.

Example: Yes, I enjoy photographing different views. In particular, I like capturing natural landscapes and wildlife because they offer unpredictable and vivid moments. For example, last month I photographed a fox at dusk near a river, which produced a memorable shot.

Suggestion: Your preference is stated, but the answer is repetitive and contains vague language (“I believe” repeated). Provide a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons with a linking word (e.g., “because,” “so,” “for example”). Avoid repeating the same phrase and try to use more precise adjectives (for example, “serene,” “untouched,” “picturesque”).

Example: I prefer views in rural areas because they feel more serene and unspoiled. For example, rolling hills and quiet lakes offer natural colors and light that are often more photogenic than crowded city streets.

Suggestion: Your idea is good but the phrasing is awkward and slightly unclear. Start with a direct statement of preference, then give a concise reason and a brief example. Replace vague expressions like “to be able to follow on the camera” with clearer phrases such as “when travelling” or “as a traveler.” Use linking words like “because” or “so” to connect reason and preference.

Example: I prefer views in other countries because traveling exposes me to diverse scenes and cultures. For instance, I enjoy photographing colorful street markets abroad, which provide details and characters I don’t usually see at home.

× I like to take pictures of the nature.

✓ I like to take pictures of nature.

The definite article 'the' is unnecessary before uncountable noun 'nature' when speaking generally. Remove 'the' to use the uncountable noun correctly: 'pictures of nature'.

× I like to take pictures of the animals.

✓ I like to take pictures of animals.

Using 'the' before 'animals' implies specific animals already known; when speaking generally about animals, omit the article. Use the plural noun without 'the' to indicate animals in general.

× I sometimes take pictures of people I come across in my daily life.

✓ I sometimes take pictures of people I come across in daily life.

The phrase 'my daily life' is grammatical but redundant here; 'in daily life' or 'in my daily life' are both acceptable. The main issue is stylistic rather than grammatical. For conciseness, 'in daily life' or keep 'in my daily life' consistently. No tense or agreement errors.

× Uh, that's it basically.

✓ That's basically it.

Word order is more natural as 'That's basically it.' The original is colloquial; reordering places the adverb 'basically' before 'it' for clearer emphasis.

× I prefer views in rural areas, I believe they come off as more natural views and I just believe that they are just more beautiful in general.

✓ I prefer views in rural areas because I think they look more natural and are generally more beautiful.

The original is a run-on with repetition ('believe' and 'just') and awkward phrasing 'come off as more natural views.' Combine into a single clear sentence: use 'because' to link reason, 'look' for appearance, and avoid redundant words. This fixes sentence structure and improves clarity.

× To be able to follow on the camera, I think of myself as a traveler and I like to see as much of the world.

✓ As someone who likes to document what I see with a camera, I think of myself as a traveler and I like to see as much of the world as possible.

'To be able to follow on the camera' is ungrammatical and unclear. Rephrase to 'As someone who likes to document what I see with a camera' to express the intended meaning. Add 'as possible' to complete 'see as much of the world' and improve naturalness.

× For that reason, I prefer views in other countries and I like taking pictures of what I see myself.

✓ For that reason, I prefer views in other countries and I like taking pictures of what I see.

The reflexive pronoun 'myself' is unnecessary and ungrammatical here. 'What I see' already indicates the object of taking pictures. Removing 'myself' corrects the sentence and improves fluency.
