Views— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and grammatical: start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid sentence fragments (e.g., "Helps to relieve your stress"). Also vary vocabulary and give a specific example of a scene you enjoy photographing.

Example: Yes, I enjoy photographing different views, especially natural landscapes. For example, I often take photos of rivers at sunrise because the soft light and reflections create peaceful, colourful images. This helps me relax and remember the moment.

Suggestion: Good structure and specific details, but improve coherence by using linking words (e.g., "however", "on the other hand") and reduce filler phrases like "to be honest". Slightly expand on why each view appeals to you to show reasoning and vocabulary range.

Example: It depends on the situation. In rural areas, I prefer wide views like the Kampali fields at sunset because the colours and open space feel calming. On the other hand, in cities I enjoy photographing striking architecture, since geometric shapes and lighting create dramatic images.

Suggestion: Clarify meaning and correct grammar. Start with a direct answer (e.g., "I prefer views in other countries") then explain why with concrete reasons and avoid vague phrasing like "I've never been like" or "yet to be seen." Use linking words to connect ideas and provide an example of a place you imagine visiting.

Example: I prefer views in other countries because I enjoy discovering unfamiliar landscapes and cultures. For instance, I often imagine walking along coastal cliffs in Portugal and taking photos of the dramatic sea and light, which feels more exciting than familiar local scenes.

× Such pictures really make your mind calm, composed and a lot nourished.

✓ Such pictures really make your mind calm, composed and much more nourished.

The phrase 'a lot nourished' is unidiomatic; 'nourished' here needs an appropriate intensifier. Use 'much more nourished' to compare degree. Also maintain parallel adjective forms (calm, composed, much more nourished).

× Helps to relieve your stress.

✓ They help to relieve your stress.

This is a sentence fragment missing a subject. Add the subject 'They' to refer back to 'Such pictures' and use the plural verb 'help' to form a complete sentence.

× To be honest, it really depends upon the situation.

✓ To be honest, it really depends on the situation.

Both 'depend on' and 'depend upon' are grammatical, but in conversational English 'depend on' is more natural and concise. Use 'depends on' with singular subject 'it'.

× So whenever I go to rural areas, I love the views of the Kampali fields and the beautiful sunset.

✓ So whenever I go to rural areas, I love the views of the Kampali fields and the beautiful sunsets.

When referring to a recurring experience, use the plural 'sunsets' to match 'views'. This keeps number agreement and sounds natural for repeated visits.

× But when I go to urban places, there may be a fascinating monument or building which attracts my attention as well.

✓ But when I go to urban places, there might be a fascinating monument or building that attracts my attention as well.

Using 'might' is more appropriate for a possible occurrence in a specific situation. Also replace 'which' with 'that' for restrictive clause in spoken English.

× I'm a really dreamy person, so I like to explore the world, which I've never been like.

✓ I'm a really dreamy person, so I like to explore the world, which I have never been to.

The phrase 'never been like' is incorrect. Use the past participle phrase 'been to' after 'have' to indicate visiting places. 'Been to' is the correct form for experience of visiting locations.

× I really imagine the beautiful views that I am yet to be seen and I love to be in that fantasy rather than in the views of my country.

✓ I often imagine the beautiful views that I have yet to see, and I prefer being in that fantasy rather than seeing the views of my own country.

'Am yet to be seen' is ungrammatical; use present perfect 'have yet to see' to express experiences not yet had. Also change 'I really imagine' to 'I often imagine' for naturalness and 'I love to be in that fantasy' to 'I prefer being in that fantasy' to contrast preferences. Use 'seeing the views of my own country' for clarity and correct verb forms.
