Views— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and correct grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid redundancy, fix subject-verb agreement and unclear phrasing, and give one specific supporting detail. Use linking words (for example, because) to make the response coherent and stay within 3–4 sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes, I enjoy photographing different views, particularly inanimate objects because they often have a timeless, vintage quality. For example, I like photographing old doors and windows because their textures and colours tell a story and create striking compositions.

Sugerencia: Good structure and clarity. Improve coherence by using linking words to connect ideas and add one concrete detail about what you photograph in each setting. Keep it to 2–3 sentences and avoid repeating simple words.

Ejemplo: I usually prefer urban views because the city offers a wide variety of subjects such as colourful shopfronts and architectural details. However, during festivals like Easter and Christmas we travel to the village, where I photograph rustic scenes such as decorated cottages and local markets.

Sugerencia: Clarify and complete your final thought, correct grammar (agreement and article usage), and avoid vague phrases. Start with a direct statement, support it with a reason and a concrete example, and finish decisively. Use linking words such as because or although to show contrast.

Ejemplo: I prefer photographs of other countries because they often show cleaner, brighter environments that make the images more striking. Although I haven't travelled abroad, photos I see on TV and in newspapers—for instance, images of well-maintained streets and colourful markets—give me a clear idea of those places.

× Yes, I love taking photographs of different views, especially inanimate objects because they give timeless and vintage looks which makes them more attractive.

✓ Yes, I love taking photographs of different views, especially inanimate objects, because they give a timeless and vintage look which makes them more attractive.

The sentence mixes plural and singular noun phrases: 'timeless and vintage looks' is awkward when followed by 'which makes them more attractive.' Use singular 'look' to refer to the overall appearance and keep the relative verb 'makes' referring to 'look' (singular). Also add a comma before 'because' for readability. Suggestion: use consistent number agreement between nouns and verbs and punctuate subordinate clauses correctly.

× For example, when I take pictures of doors and windows, it's keeps the pictures.

✓ For example, when I take pictures of doors and windows, they stay interesting.

The original uses 'it's keeps', which is ungrammatical: 'it's' (it is) cannot be followed by the base verb 'keeps'. The intended meaning seems to be that the pictures remain appealing, so use a correct subject and verb combination such as 'they stay interesting' or 'they look timeless'. Suggestion: ensure subject and verb agree and choose a verb or adjective that conveys the intended state.

× I usually prefer views from the city because I get to choose from a wide variety of objects.

✓ I usually prefer views of the city because I can choose from a wide variety of subjects.

'Views from the city' is understandable but 'views of the city' is more natural. 'I get to choose' is acceptable informally, but 'I can choose' fits neutral register. Also 'objects' is better as 'subjects' when speaking about photography. Suggestion: choose natural prepositional collocations and vocabulary suited to context.

× However, during festive periods like Easter and Christmas, we usually travel to the village.

✓ However, during festive periods such as Easter and Christmas, we usually travel to the village.

Replace 'like' with 'such as' for examples in more formal speech. The sentence is otherwise grammatically correct. Suggestion: use 'such as' for examples in semi-formal answers.

× I also take pictures there.

✓ I also take photographs there.

'Pictures' is acceptable but 'photographs' matches earlier vocabulary and is slightly more formal. The sentence is grammatically correct; this is a lexical refinement to maintain consistency. Suggestion: keep consistent vocabulary across responses.

× I love pictures from other countries because they usually present a clean environment which gives these photographs a brighter look in contrast to the ones taken in my country.

✓ I prefer photographs from other countries because they often show a cleaner environment, which gives those photographs a brighter look compared with the ones taken in my country.

Adjustments: use 'prefer' for clarity, 'photographs' for consistency, 'often' is more natural than 'usually' here, 'show a cleaner environment' is clearer than 'present a clean environment', and 'which gives those photographs' must agree in reference. Use 'compared with' for contrast. Suggestion: ensure lexical consistency and clear referents for relative clauses.

× Even though I have not traveled abroad, the pictures I see on TV and on papers gives me what?

✓ Even though I have not travelled abroad, the pictures I see on TV and in newspapers give me a sense of it.

Errors: 'traveled' spelling should be British 'travelled'; 'on papers' is incorrect — use 'in newspapers'; subject-verb agreement: plural subject 'the pictures' takes plural verb 'give' not 'gives'; the original ends with 'gives me what?' which is unclear — clarify as 'give me a sense of it' or 'give me an idea of what it is like'. Suggestion: ensure correct British spelling, proper preposition with 'newspapers', subject-verb agreement, and clear expression of the intended idea.
