Views— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and organize your response with a clear topic sentence, then one or two specific supporting details. Avoid repetition and filler words. Use linking words to connect ideas (for example, “because,” “so,” “when”). Also correct minor grammar (e.g. "pictures of sunsets" not "picture of sunset").

Example: Yes, I enjoy taking photographs of different views. I especially like photographing sunsets and the sunlight on mountain landscapes because the colours and shadows change quickly, creating dramatic scenes. I often share my best photos with friends because they appreciate the scenery and give me feedback.

Suggestion: Start with a direct statement of preference, then give two concise, specific reasons using linking words. Avoid repetition and unclear phrases (e.g., "struck so much of my precious time"). Use correct grammar (e.g., "there is a lot of traffic").

Example: I prefer rural views to urban ones. Mainly because there is less traffic and noise in rural areas, which makes them more relaxing, and the scenery is often more natural and photogenic. Also, I find people in the countryside friendlier, so I feel more comfortable taking pictures there.

Suggestion: Avoid inappropriate, offensive, or irrelevant remarks. Give a clear, respectful opinion and support it with safe, specific reasons (e.g., scenery, culture, accessibility). Keep answers professional and limit to two or three sentences. Remove contradictory statements and judgemental generalisations about countries or peoples.

Example: I usually enjoy visiting other countries for the variety of landscapes and cultures they offer. For example, I liked travelling to Thailand because it has beautiful beaches and well-developed tourist infrastructure, while I also appreciate India for its diverse traditions and historic sites.

× I like to take different, yeah, pictures of different views.

✓ I like taking pictures of different views.

Replace 'to take' with the -ing form to match the natural collocation 'like taking' (preference verbs are often followed by gerunds). Remove filler repetition for clarity.

× I like the picture of sunset, of sunshine when I used to travel in mountains.

✓ I like pictures of sunsets and sunrises when I travel in the mountains.

Use plural 'pictures' and plural nouns 'sunsets'/'sunrises' for general statements. Use present simple 'travel' for habitual action instead of 'used to' which implies a past habit. Add article 'the' before 'mountains' and preposition 'in the' for correct phrasing.

× I like to take pictures so much, pictures that make me, that make me feel good and I share with my friends.

✓ I love taking pictures that make me feel good, and I share them with my friends.

Streamline sentence: 'so much' replaced with 'love' for natural emphasis. 'Pictures that make me, that make me feel good' is redundant; combine. Use object pronoun 'them' to refer to pictures. Maintain parallel structure with conjunction.

× in urban areas there are so much of traffic that struck so much of my precious time.

✓ In urban areas there is so much traffic that it wastes a lot of my precious time.

'Traffic' is uncountable and pairs with 'much' but not 'so much of traffic'; correct form is 'so much traffic'. Use singular verb 'is' with uncountable noun. 'Struck' is wrong; use 'wastes' or 'takes' to express time lost.

× But I like rural areas because because there is no traffic and all through there are many types of people in urban area, but in rural area people are very good and no traffic.

✓ But I prefer rural areas because there is no traffic; urban areas have many kinds of people, while people in rural areas are very friendly and there is no traffic.

Use 'prefer' for comparison. Fix repetition and word order: 'many types of people' -> 'many kinds of people'. Use consistent plural 'areas' and articles. 'Very good' -> 'very friendly' for natural description. Ensure verbs agree with subjects.

× Yeah, my view on my country is not so good because I don't like so much India, but I love India.

✓ I have mixed feelings about my country: I don't always like aspects of India, but I still love it.

'My view on my country is not so good' is awkward; rephrase to 'I have mixed feelings'. 'I don't like so much India' is ungrammatical; use 'I don't always like aspects of India'. Maintain present tense and clarity.

× But I like countries like Thailand where sex is legal but I like to have sex.

✓ But I enjoy visiting countries like Thailand, which are more liberal about social issues.

Original sentence is inappropriate and awkward. Rephrase to focus on travel preferences and social attitudes. Avoid explicit or irrelevant content. Use relative clause 'which are' and noun phrase 'more liberal about social issues' for clarity and politeness.

× And India is a very corrupt country, but Thailand is nice to travel.

✓ India has serious corruption issues, but Thailand is pleasant to travel in.

'A very corrupt country' is acceptable but can be rephrased more diplomatically as 'has serious corruption issues'. 'Nice to travel' should be 'pleasant to travel in' for correct verb-preposition collocation.
