Views— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more concise and grammatically correct: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition, and use precise vocabulary (e.g., 'countryside' and 'seaside'). Add one specific detail or brief reason and link it with a connector.

Ví dụ: Yes, I love taking photos of different views because it lets me capture the mood of a place. For example, I enjoy photographing mountains for their dramatic light and seaside scenes for their calming colours, so I often plan trips around sunrise and sunset.

Gợi ý: Provide a direct topic sentence, reduce hesitations, and explain why with specific examples. Use linking words like 'because' or 'for example' and correct phrases (e.g., 'street culture' not 'St. culture').

Ví dụ: I prefer urban views because street culture gives me interesting subjects to photograph. For example, I am drawn to colourful graffiti and busy markets, which create strong contrasts and dynamic compositions.

Gợi ý: Give a clear position first, then give specific reasons. Avoid repetition about birthplace and correct grammar ('different views' and 'landscapes'). Use a linking word like 'however' to contrast.

Ví dụ: Although I love Saint Petersburg, I prefer photographing scenes in other countries because they offer different landscapes and cultures. For instance, I enjoy capturing rural rice terraces in Asia or colourful coastal villages in the Mediterranean, which contrast with the cityscapes I'm used to.

× I like it's so interesting to do different pictures of different views, landscapes and countriesides and mountains and seasides.

✓ I like it; taking pictures of different views, landscapes, countryside, mountains, and seashores is very interesting.

Replace the incorrect contraction 'it's' and awkward phrasing 'to do different pictures' with a clear pronoun 'it' and a gerund phrase 'taking pictures'. Use singular nouns 'countryside' and 'seashores' (or 'seaside') correctly. This fixes pronoun misuse and improves sentence structure. Suggestion: Use 'it' to refer to the activity and 'taking pictures of...' for clarity.

× It's one of my favorite things in my in my life.

✓ It's one of my favorite things in my life.

Remove the duplicated phrase 'in my' which is a repetition error. The article and possessive 'my' are correct; the correction eliminates redundancy. Suggestion: Read sentences aloud to catch repeated words.

× Hmm, it's difficult question for me.

✓ Hmm, it's a difficult question for me.

Missing indefinite article 'a' before 'difficult question' creates an ungrammatical noun phrase. Adding 'a' corrects the sentence structure. Suggestion: Use 'a' before singular countable nouns when unspecified.

× I think I prefer views in urban areas such as city.

✓ I think I prefer views in urban areas such as the city.

The noun 'city' needs the definite article 'the' when referring to the idea of 'the city' in contrast to rural areas. Alternatively, plural 'cities' could be used. This fixes article usage. Suggestion: Use 'the city' to refer to urban settings generally or 'cities' for plural.

× Uh, I like uh, St. culture a lot.

✓ Uh, I like street culture a lot.

Abbreviation 'St.' is ambiguous and inappropriate here; the student likely meant 'street culture'. Replacing with the full noun clarifies meaning and corrects pronoun/abbreviation misuse. Suggestion: Use full words for clarity in speaking tests.

× Uh, graffiti is inspires me a lot and uh, it's so interesting for me.

✓ Uh, graffiti inspires me a lot and it's very interesting to me.

The verb phrase 'is inspires' is incorrect; remove auxiliary 'is' so the verb agrees with singular noun 'graffiti'. Also change 'so interesting for me' to 'very interesting to me' for natural collocation. Suggestion: Use simple present 'graffiti inspires' for general truths.

× I'm from Saint Petersburg and the Saint Petersburg is a great big city.

✓ I'm from Saint Petersburg, and Saint Petersburg is a large city.

Do not use 'the' before most city names; 'the Saint Petersburg' is incorrect. Also 'great big' is colloquial; 'large' or 'great' suffice. This corrects article misuse and adjective choice. Suggestion: Omit 'the' before city names.

× But I saw, uh, I was born in Saint Petersburg and that's why I prefer other countries because I like uh, another views and a land landscapes.

✓ But I was born in Saint Petersburg, and that's why I prefer other countries, because I like different views and landscapes.

Remove the incorrect 'I saw' which is irrelevant, fix tense and article issues: 'another views' should be 'different views' (quantifier and number agreement), and 'a land landscapes' is ungrammatical—use 'landscapes' or 'land and seascapes' as appropriate. This addresses sentence structure, quantifier, and plurality errors. Suggestion: Use 'different views and landscapes' and avoid extra irrelevant clauses.
