Views— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Make the answer more concise, correct small grammar errors, add a linking word to connect reasons, and include one specific example to make it more vivid. Limit to 2–4 sentences. Try: topic sentence + brief reason + specific example.

Example: Yes, I enjoy photographing different views, especially natural scenery such as the sky, flowers and rivers. Because I’m often busy, I take photos whenever I can; for example, I recently photographed a riverside sunset that still makes me feel peaceful when I look back.

Suggestion: Be more specific about what you like in each setting and use a linking word to compare. Aim for 2–3 sentences: state preference (both) and give one concrete feature of each to justify your opinion.

Example: I prefer both urban and rural views because they offer different attractions: for example, cities have striking architecture and vibrant street life, whereas the countryside offers quiet landscapes and fresh air.

Suggestion: Combine short fragments into complete sentences, add clearer linking words and a concise example. Avoid repetition of ‘feeling’ and keep it to 2–3 sentences: contrast then preference with a specific local example.

Example: While views abroad can be breathtaking, I prefer scenery in my own country because it makes me feel at home; for example, the rolling hills and a familiar coastal town always calm me down.

× I enjoy taking pictures of different views especially natural scenery like sky, flowers and rivers.

✓ I enjoy taking pictures of different views, especially natural scenery like the sky, flowers, and rivers.

Missing commas and articles: add a comma before 'especially' for clarity, and include the definite article 'the' before 'sky'. Also add a comma before the final item in the list (Oxford comma) to improve readability. Use of '-ing' form 'taking' is correct so only punctuation and article issues are fixed.

× Although I don't have much time to explore but I try to take picture whenever I can because looking back to those picture it gives me serene and peaceful feeling.

✓ Although I don't have much time to explore, I try to take pictures whenever I can, because looking back at those pictures gives me a serene and peaceful feeling.

The sentence incorrectly uses both 'Although' and 'but' together; remove 'but' to avoid redundancy. 'Take picture' should be plural 'take pictures' to match context (plural). Use the preposition 'at' with 'looking back at'. 'Those picture' should be plural 'those pictures'. Add articles: 'a serene and peaceful feeling' requires the article 'a'. Add commas to separate clauses.

× I actually prefer both urban and rural areas.

✓ I actually prefer both urban and rural areas.

Sentence is grammatically correct; 'actually' as an adverb is acceptable here. No change needed. Included as confirmation rather than correction.

× I do believe that urban and rural are two different distinct places, yet they have their own unique features.

✓ I do believe that urban and rural areas are two distinct types of places, yet they each have their own unique features.

Redundant words 'different distinct' should be simplified to 'two distinct'. Add 'areas' after 'urban and rural' for clarity. 'They have their own' is acceptable, but 'they each have their own' reads more naturally. This preserves meaning and improves fluency.

× Although the scenery of other countries can be mesmerizing and breathtaking, I prefer the view in my own country because it gives me a sense of belonging and calm.

✓ Although the scenery of other countries can be mesmerizing and breathtaking, I prefer the views in my own country because they give me a sense of belonging and calm.

Consistency: 'the view' is singular but earlier 'scenery' and general preference suggest plural 'views'. Use plural 'views' and plural pronoun 'they' to agree. 'Belonging and calm' is fine. This corrects number agreement between noun and pronoun.

× For example, the rolling hills and a familiar coastal town.

✓ For example, the rolling hills and a familiar coastal town make me feel at home.

Fragment sentence lacks a verb; it is a sentence fragment. Add a verb phrase to complete the sentence and connect it to the previous idea: 'make me feel at home' or similar. This correction completes the thought and maintains tense and meaning.

× It gives me a peaceful feeling in a way.

✓ It gives me a peaceful feeling.

Phrase 'in a way' is vague and unnecessary; removing it makes the sentence clearer. Present tense 'gives' is correct. This simplifies the sentence while keeping tense and meaning.
