Views— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Good direct answer and relevant example, but wording is slightly awkward (‘see the skylines on my phone’) and there is mild redundancy. Improve clarity by using more precise verbs and a clearer supporting detail. Keep within 3–4 sentences and add a linking phrase to connect idea and example.

Example: Yes, I do. I love photographing different views because photos help me preserve memories. For example, I often take pictures of seaside sunsets on my phone so I can look back and reminisce when I feel nostalgic.

Suggestion: Strong, personal and specific answer. Minor issues: article use (‘in the rural areas’ should be ‘rural areas’), and you could add a linking word to connect reasons. Keep it concise and add one more concrete detail about what you like in rural views.

Example: I prefer rural areas. I grew up in a province surrounded by mountains, so I find rural landscapes more peaceful and photogenic. Moreover, my family still lives there, so I visit often and get many chances to take photos.

Suggestion: Good balanced answer with examples. Improve naturalness by avoiding phrases like ‘which I see online’ (unless you mean you haven’t been there). Use clearer linking words (‘however’) and be specific about what aspects you prefer abroad vs at home. Keep sentence count within limit and tighten phrasing.

Example: It depends. I admire dramatic scenery abroad — for example, the Alps in Switzerland or the rugged Australian coast — because they offer sights I rarely see at home. However, I also enjoy familiar landscapes in my country because they make me feel comfortable and relaxed.

× I definitely love taking pictures of different views because they help me preserve memories.

✓ I definitely love taking pictures of different views because they help me preserve memories.

No correction needed; sentence uses present simple correctly to express general preference and habitual fact. Keep present tense for likes and habitual actions.

× For example, I often capture a seaside sunset and see the skylines on my phone so I can look back and reminisce when I feel nostalgic.

✓ For example, I often capture a seaside sunset and save the photos on my phone so I can look back and reminisce when I feel nostalgic.

The original sentence used 'see the skylines on my phone' which is awkward and not the intended action. The issue relates to verb choice and form: 'save' (base verb) plus noun 'the photos' clearly indicates storing images. Use 'save the photos on my phone' to express preserving pictures for later viewing. This keeps present simple for habitual action.

× I prefer views in the rural areas because I grew up in a province surrounded by mountainous views.

✓ I prefer views in rural areas because I grew up in a province surrounded by mountainous views.

The phrase 'in the rural areas' incorrectly uses the definite article 'the'. When speaking generally about rural areas, omit 'the'. Use 'in rural areas' to indicate a general preference. This is an article usage issue.

× Additionally, my family still lives there so I often visit.

✓ Additionally, my family still lives there, so I often visit.

No tense change needed; sentence correctly uses present simple for a current state ('lives') and habitual action ('often visit'). The only minor correction is adding a comma before 'so' when it connects two independent clauses. This is punctuation rather than grammar type but keeps clarity.

× It depends on the countries I'm visiting.

✓ It depends on the countries I visit.

Both forms can be acceptable, but for general preference statements use present simple 'I visit' rather than present continuous 'I'm visiting'. Present simple expresses habitual or typical instances when making comparisons or preferences.

× I love the dramatic natural scenery, for example the mountains of Switzerland which I see online, or the rugged coastlines of Australia.

✓ I love dramatic natural scenery, for example the mountains of Switzerland that I see online, or the rugged coastlines of Australia.

Remove the article before 'dramatic natural scenery' for general reference. The relative pronoun 'which' is acceptable, but 'that' is more natural in restrictive clauses referring to specific examples. This is an issue of pronoun choice and article usage combined; use 'that' to link 'mountains of Switzerland' to 'see online' and drop unnecessary 'the' before uncountable 'dramatic natural scenery'.

× On the other hand, I also enjoy the familiar landscape at home because they make me feel comfortable and relaxed.

✓ On the other hand, I also enjoy the familiar landscape at home because it makes me feel comfortable and relaxed.

The subject 'the familiar landscape' is singular, so the pronoun and verb must be singular: use 'it' and 'makes'. The original used plural pronoun 'they' which mismatches the singular noun and causes a subject-pronoun agreement error. If the speaker meant multiple landscapes, use plural form 'familiar landscapes ... because they make me feel...'. Use consistent number for subject and pronoun/verb.
