Views— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition (e.g., "helps me" repeated), and limit to 2–4 sentences. Add a specific example to make your answer more vivid and use a linking word when adding a reason.

Ejemplo: Yes, I enjoy taking pictures of different views, especially when I visit new places. For example, last month I photographed a coastal cliff at sunset, which helped me appreciate the colours and textures of the landscape. Because I can review the photos later, they help me remember the place and reflect on the experience.

Sugerencia: Correct grammar and remove repetition. Use a clear topic sentence and a linking word to add a specific reason or brief comparison. Avoid filler phrases and keep within 2–4 sentences.

Ejemplo: I prefer views in rural areas because I live in a highly urbanised city. For example, rural landscapes often have wide-open fields and quiet forests, which feel refreshing compared with crowded streets and tall buildings in the city.

Sugerencia: Combine short fragments into complete sentences and avoid repetition. Give a concise topic sentence, then add a specific example of a place or type of view in your country to support your choice.

Ejemplo: So far I prefer views in my own country because I haven’t travelled abroad yet. For instance, the Philippines has many scenic islands and beaches, such as Palawan, where the clear water and limestone cliffs are stunning.

× I like taking pictures of different views, especially on new places that I visit.

✓ I like taking pictures of different views, especially in new places that I visit.

Use of preposition: 'in' is correct with 'places' to indicate location. 'On new places' is incorrect. Suggestion: replace 'on' with 'in' when referring to being located inside or within places.

× It helps me to appreciate different environments and nature and helps me to reflect back on it.

✓ It helps me appreciate different environments and nature and helps me reflect on them.

Unnecessary 'to' after 'helps' and incorrect pronoun reference: after 'helps' the base verb is used without 'to' (help someone do something). Also 'reflect back on it' is wordy and 'it' is unclear for plural 'environments and nature' — use 'them'. Suggestion: use 'helps me appreciate' and 'reflect on them.'

× I prefer the views on rural areas because I live in the urban urbanized city and I feel like the views in rural areas or something new to me.

✓ I prefer the views in rural areas because I live in an urbanized city and I feel like the views in rural areas are something new to me.

Preposition: use 'in rural areas' not 'on rural areas.' Article and word choice: 'an urbanized city' is better than 'the urban urbanized city' and avoid repetition. Verb form: 'or' is incorrect; should be 'are' to link subject and complement. Suggestion: use 'in' for areas, 'an urbanized city,' and the verb 'are' for plural 'views.'

× I have not been yet to other countries, so I would say that for now I prefer the views in my own country.

✓ I have not been to other countries yet, so I would say that for now I prefer the views in my own country.

Adverb placement: 'yet' normally comes at the end of the clause in present perfect sentences ('have not been to other countries yet'). Correct placement improves naturalness. Suggestion: move 'yet' after the object.

× Here in the Philippines. There there are a lot of good places to visit, a lot of tourist attractions.

✓ Here in the Philippines there are a lot of good places to visit and many tourist attractions.

Sentence fragments and repetition: 'Here in the Philippines.' is a fragment; combine clauses. Also 'There there' is a repetition error. Use a single clause and combine ideas with 'and' and replace 'a lot of' with 'many' for variety. Suggestion: write one complete sentence: 'Here in the Philippines there are a lot of good places to visit and many tourist attractions.'
