Views— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Your answer does not directly address the question and includes a follow-up question to the examiner instead of expanding your response. To improve, respond directly with a clear topic sentence about whether you like taking pictures, then add one or two specific supporting details (reason, example or preference) using a linking word. Keep it natural and avoid asking the examiner back unless prompted.

Ejemplo: Yes, I enjoy taking pictures of different views. For example, I often take photos of city skylines and coastal landscapes because I like capturing how light changes during sunrise and sunset.

Sugerencia: Your reply is irrelevant to the question — answering 'No' and asking 'How are you?' does not tell the examiner your preference. To improve, state your preference clearly with a topic sentence, then provide a reason or brief example using a linking word to make your answer coherent.

Ejemplo: I prefer rural views to urban ones because I find the open fields and natural scenery more relaxing, and I often photograph countryside scenes when I go hiking.

Sugerencia: This answer is incomplete and does not state a clear preference; it also redirects the question back to the examiner. To improve, choose a clear preference (own country or other countries) and support it with a reason and a specific example, using a linking word to connect ideas.

Ejemplo: I prefer views in other countries because they offer different landscapes and cultural architecture; for instance, I enjoyed photographing historic buildings during a trip to Italy.

× Yes, I like. How about you?

✓ Yes, I do. How about you?

The student answered a yes/no question that asked about a habit ('Do you like taking pictures...') so the correct short response uses the auxiliary 'do' rather than repeating the main verb alone. Saying 'Yes, I like.' is unnatural and incomplete in English. Use 'Yes, I do.' or 'Yes, I like taking pictures.' to be clear.

× No. How are you?

✓ I prefer urban areas. How about you?

The examiner asked 'Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?' The student's reply 'No. How are you?' is unrelated and lacks a proper response structure. It should directly state a preference, for example 'I prefer urban areas,' or 'I prefer rural areas.' Additionally, asking 'How are you?' is inappropriate in this context. Provide a clear concise answer to match the question.

× Yes, how about you?

✓ Yes, I do. How about you?

The examiner asked 'Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?' A short affirmative answer should use the auxiliary 'do' ('Yes, I do.') or a full sentence ('Yes, I prefer views in my own country.') The student wrote 'Yes, how about you?' which is missing the auxiliary and is incomplete. Use 'Yes, I do. How about you?' or a full explicit response.
