Views— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence that directly answers the question, avoid mixed idioms and hesitations, and limit to up to 4–5 coherent sentences. Replace uncertain phrases ("time there") and filler words ("uh") with precise vocabulary and add a reason or brief example using a linking word (for example, "because" or "so").

Example: Not really. I prefer to enjoy scenic views with my own eyes rather than taking photographs because I find the moment more memorable. For example, when I visit the coast I focus on the colours of the sunset instead of using my phone, so I can remember it more vividly.

Suggestion: Start with a direct answer then give two concise, specific reasons linked logically. Reduce fillers and correct minor grammar ("in rural area" → "in rural areas"). Use linking words like "because" and "for example" to structure your response and add one brief personal detail to support your preference.

Example: I prefer views in rural areas. Because I grew up there, I often see much clearer skies and interesting cloud shapes, whereas urban areas tend to have haze and air pollution. For example, countryside sunsets are more colourful and easier to photograph.

Suggestion: Answer directly and organise supporting details clearly. Reduce hesitation and repetition, use precise linking phrases ("for example", "such as") and give one specific example with a short description to make your answer more vivid. Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Example: I prefer views in my own country because it offers a wide variety of landscapes. For example, my region includes mountains, beaches and the Thar Desert in Rajasthan, so the scenery changes dramatically from place to place and always feels unique.

× A picture is worth of 1000 views, but however, I'm not into photography.

✓ A picture is worth 1000 views, but I'm not into photography.

The idiom is 'a picture is worth 1000 words' or 'a picture is worth 1000 views' without the preposition 'of'. Using 'of' after 'worth' is incorrect. Also 'but however' is redundant; use one conjunctive word such as 'but'. Suggestion: remove 'of' and choose either 'but' or 'however'.

× I try to just time there and look at the scenery.

✓ I try to just sit there and look at the scenery.

The verb 'time' is incorrect in context; the intended action is 'sit' (base verb). This is a word choice error rather than tense; replace with the correct verb 'sit'. Ensure the base form follows 'try to'.

× Usually I try to, uh, capture the breathtaking view into my own mind rather than taking photos.

✓ Usually I try to capture the breathtaking view in my mind rather than take photos.

Use 'in my mind' rather than 'into my own mind' for this expression. Also when using 'rather than' with verbs, keep parallel structure: 'try to capture ... rather than take ...' (base form), not 'taking'. Remove unnecessary 'own' for naturalness.

× Also, I don't have a very beautiful camera, so yeah.

✓ Also, I don't have a very good camera, so yeah.

'Beautiful camera' is unusual collocation; 'good camera' is the appropriate adjective. This is a word choice/style correction to improve naturalness.

× As I grew up in rural area and I have seen that mostly the sky is very clear over there.

✓ As I grew up in a rural area and have seen that the sky is usually very clear there.

Missing article before 'rural area' — should be 'a rural area'. 'Mostly' with 'the sky is very clear over there' is awkward; use 'usually' and simplify 'over there' to 'there'. Also remove redundant 'I' before 'have seen' for smoother sentence.

× Uh, we can see different shapes of clouds, but in urban area the sky is, umm, not very clear.

✓ We can see different shapes of clouds, but in urban areas the sky is not very clear.

Use plural 'urban areas' or 'an urban area'. 'In urban area' is missing article/number agreement. Also remove filler words for clarity.

× It is mostly because of the pollution and also the debris, uh, in the air.

✓ It is mostly because of pollution and debris in the air.

'Because of the pollution' is acceptable, but 'the' is unnecessary when speaking generally: use 'because of pollution and debris'. Remove filler words for fluency.

× So I would prefer rural area.

✓ So I would prefer rural areas.

'Rural area' should be plural or take an article: 'a rural area' or 'rural areas'. Context suggests a general preference, so plural 'rural areas' fits better.

× I prefer views in my own country because in my country there are different kinds of views.

✓ I prefer views in my own country because there are different kinds of scenery there.

'Kinds of views' is awkward; 'kinds of scenery' or just 'different kinds of views' is okay. Also avoid repeating 'in my country' twice; use 'there' for conciseness.

× We have volcanoes, we have mountains, beaches, uh, even we have desert from the area where I come, it's Rajasthan and we have our, uh, desert over there.

✓ We have volcanoes, mountains, beaches, and even a desert in the area where I come from; it's Rajasthan and we have a desert there.

Several issues: missing articles before 'desert' ('a desert'), incorrect word order 'from the area where I come' should be 'where I come from'. Use parallel list structure with commas and conjunctions. Remove fillers and repeat mentions of 'desert' more concisely.
