Views— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and natural. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid redundant phrases (e.g., “I like to prefer”), reduce fillers (uh), and group similar items logically. Add one specific example or brief reason to enrich the answer and show vocabulary range.

Example: Yes, I enjoy photographing different views, especially natural scenes. For example, I often take photos of mountain ranges at sunrise because the light creates dramatic shadows and vibrant colors. I also like photographing rivers and coastal scenes, and occasionally wildlife, since they add life and context to my landscapes.

Suggestion: Give a direct topic sentence, avoid repetition, reduce hesitations, and provide specific reasons or a brief comparison to make the preference convincing. Use linking words (for example, because, moreover) to connect ideas.

Example: I prefer rural views because they offer more natural scenery and peaceful settings. For example, rural landscapes often include open fields, forests and rivers, which provide interesting textures and fewer distracting buildings. Because of this, my photos usually feel calmer and more visually appealing than urban shots.

Suggestion: Clarify what you mean by “natural expressions of the people” and avoid vague or repetitive phrases. Offer a specific reason or short example (a scene or occasion) to support the preference. Keep answers direct and use one or two linking words to improve coherence.

Example: I prefer views in my own country because I'm familiar with local traditions and landscapes, so I can capture authentic moments. For instance, I often photograph villagers during harvest festivals—these scenes show real emotions and unique costumes that I know how to frame well.

× I like to prefer to take the pictures of the mountains and the rivers and the oceans, uh, the landscapes, the animals also, I find them interesting.

✓ I prefer to take pictures of mountains, rivers, oceans, landscapes, and animals because I find them interesting.

The original contains redundant and awkward verb choices: 'like to prefer to take' combines two verbs where one is needed. According to the Verb + -ing form rule, when expressing preference use 'prefer' (simple verb) not 'like to prefer'. Also 'the pictures of the mountains' is overly specific; plural nouns without 'the' are more natural when speaking generally. Suggestions: choose a single main verb (prefer/like), remove redundant 'to', and use parallel list structure with commas and 'and'. Example improvement: 'I prefer to take pictures of mountains, rivers, oceans, landscapes, and animals.'

× The urban areas are quite, uh, populated and I don't find those areas interesting.

✓ Urban areas are quite populated, and I don't find them interesting.

This sentence is not strictly ungrammatical but can be tightened. The subject 'The urban areas are' is acceptable, yet articles can be omitted for general statements: 'Urban areas are quite populated.' Maintain subject-verb agreement: 'areas are' is correct. Suggestion: remove filler 'uh' and unnecessary repetition ('those areas') and use pronoun 'them' for concision. (Note: Classified as Third person singular issue because of attention to subject-verb clarity.)

× I prefer the rural areas. The urban areas are quite, uh, populated and I don't find those areas interesting. The rural areas are natural and uh, I like the landscapes. Also, the rural areas are more beautiful.

✓ I prefer rural areas. Urban areas are quite populated, and I don't find them interesting. Rural areas are more natural, and I like their landscapes. Also, rural areas are more beautiful.

Repeated use of 'the' and repeating full noun phrases is awkward. Use pronouns correctly ('them', 'their') to avoid repetition and improve cohesion. Also 'the landscapes' should be 'their landscapes' when referring to landscapes belonging to rural areas. Suggestion: use general nouns without 'the' for broad categories and replace repeated nouns with appropriate pronouns. (Note: Classified as Incorrect use of pronouns because of repetitive noun phrases and missing possessive pronoun.)

× I prefer views in my own country. I like to capture those natural expressions of the people.

✓ I prefer views in my own country. I like to capture the natural expressions of people there.

'Expressions of the people' is grammatically possible but awkward. Use 'the natural expressions of people there' or 'people's natural expressions' for natural English. Also add 'there' to clarify location. Suggestion: use possessive or rephrase with 'people there' for clarity. (Note: Classified as Incorrect use of prepositions due to phrasing and locality clarity.)

× In the rural areas especially the people are so beautiful and also this is the reason I find my country views interesting.

✓ Especially in rural areas, people are very warm/attractive, which is why I find views in my country interesting.

The original sentence is long, contains punctuation/run-on issues and unclear adjective 'beautiful' for people (could be ambiguous). The structure 'and also this is the reason' is wordy; use a relative clause 'which is why' to show cause. Suggestion: break into clearer clauses, place 'especially' before the phrase it modifies, and use appropriate adjective (e.g., 'friendly' or 'attractive') depending on intended meaning. (Note: Classified as Sentence structure errors because of run-on and awkward clause sequencing.)
