Views— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Good enthusiasm and clear meaning. To improve, make your opening more natural and concise, avoid awkward phrasing (e.g. "a small photographer") and add one brief specific detail to support your statement. Keep answers to no more than 3–4 sentences and use a linking phrase for flow.

Example: Yes, I enjoy photographing different views. I often shoot cars, buildings and natural landscapes, and I keep them in an online gallery. For example, last month I photographed an old bridge at sunset, which taught me a lot about lighting.

Suggestion: You answer the question but the response is wordy and contains grammatical errors. Improve by starting with a clear topic sentence, use linking words (because, therefore, so) correctly, and give one concise reason with a specific example. Avoid filler phrases like "that's a very interesting question."

Example: I prefer photographing rural areas because they are less crowded and offer more unique scenes. For instance, last summer I captured an old farmhouse and unspoiled fields, which stood out compared with similar city shots.

Suggestion: The idea is clear but the sentence is repetitive and slightly awkward. Improve by giving a direct topic sentence, a concise reason, and a brief specific example or prediction. Use varied vocabulary (e.g. "I prefer scenes abroad" instead of "other countries views").

Example: I prefer photographing views in other countries because they offer different cultures and landscapes. For example, I would love to photograph the colorful markets and coastal towns in Portugal, which are quite different from scenes at home.

× Yes, I do like taking pictures of different views.

✓ Yes, I do like taking pictures of different views.

No change needed for grammar; sentence correctly uses the present participle 'taking' after 'like'. Keep as is.

× In fact, I am a small photographer who likes taking pictures everywhere and my gallery is full of pictures of cars, buildings and different nature views.

✓ In fact, I am a hobby photographer who likes taking pictures everywhere, and my gallery is full of pictures of cars, buildings, and various natural scenes.

Problems: 'small photographer' is unnatural (word choice), missing comma before 'and', 'different nature views' is awkward. Suggest using 'hobby photographer' or 'amateur photographer', add comma for compound sentence, and use 'various natural scenes' for clarity and natural phrasing.

× Well, that's a very interesting question and I think I really like to take pictures in the rural areas because rural areas are mostly neglected regarding the photography and most of the amateur photographers go to where is the urban areas.

✓ Well, that's a very interesting question, and I think I really like to take pictures in rural areas because they are mostly neglected in photography, and most amateur photographers go to urban areas.

Issues: unnecessary definite article 'the rural areas' and 'the urban areas' can be omitted; wordy and awkward phrase 'neglected regarding the photography' should be 'neglected in photography'; incorrect structure 'go to where is the urban areas' is ungrammatical — simplify to 'go to urban areas'. Added comma before 'and' and removed extra 'the' and 'the' before plural place names.

× That kind of pushes me to go for the rural areas more.

✓ That kind of pushes me to go to rural areas more often.

Problems: 'go for the rural areas' is incorrect preposition and use of 'the' is unnecessary. Use 'go to rural areas' and 'more' is vague — 'more often' clarifies frequency. Also 'That' refers to previous idea so 'That kind of' is informal but acceptable; improved phrasing provided.

× Well, I prefer views in other countries because I think I have seen many photographers capturing my country already and I would like to capture the other country views.

✓ Well, I prefer views in other countries because I think many photographers have already photographed my country, and I would like to capture views of other countries.

Issues: word order and tense — 'I have seen many photographers capturing my country already' is awkward; use present perfect 'have already photographed' and 'photographed my country' is clearer. 'the other country views' is unnatural; use 'views of other countries'. Adjusted word order for clarity.
