× Yes, I do like taking pictures of different views such as scenery, umm, nature, mountains, car people and so on.
✓ Yes, I do like taking pictures of different views such as scenery, nature, mountains, cars, people and so on.
The student listed 'car people' which is incorrect word grouping; it should be two separate plural nouns 'cars' and 'people'. This is a pluralization and word choice issue. Use parallel plural nouns when listing items (scenery, nature, mountains, cars, people). Also remove filler 'umm' in formal responses.
× I've when I saw something I tend to.
✓ When I see something, I tend to take a picture.
The original sentence mixes tenses and fragments ('I've when I saw something I tend to' is ungrammatical). The corrected version uses simple present tense 'see' and 'tend' to match the habitual action described. Structure: start with the subordinate clause 'When I see something' then the main clause 'I tend to take a picture.' This fixes sentence fragment and tense inconsistency.
× Well I would say views in rural areas because rural areas, the view at rural areas are more peaceful and calm compared to urban areas.
✓ Well, I would say views in rural areas, because the views in rural areas are more peaceful and calm compared to urban areas.
The original mixes prepositions and articles awkwardly ('view at rural areas' is incorrect). Use 'views in rural areas' and plural 'are' to match subject. Also add a comma after 'Well' for clarity. Maintain plural 'views' to agree with plural verb 'are'.
× At rural areas we we also can see nature thing like a mountain and so on.
✓ In rural areas we can also see natural features like mountains and so on.
Use the correct preposition 'in' with 'rural areas' and avoid repeating 'we'. 'Nature thing' is informal and ungrammatical; use 'natural features' or 'natural scenery'. Use plural 'mountains' for generality and place adverb 'also' in a natural position: 'we can also see'. This fixes word choice and sentence structure.
× I prefer views in my own country compared to other countries.
✓ I prefer views in my own country to those in other countries.
When comparing preferences, use 'prefer A to B' rather than 'prefer A compared to B'. Also replace 'views in other countries' with 'those in other countries' to avoid repetition and improve clarity.
× This is because in my country we have so many places that offer scenic views, scenic landscape, nature views and so on.
✓ This is because in my country we have many places that offer scenic views, scenic landscapes and natural scenery.
Reduce redundancy ('scenic views' and 'nature views' overlap) and correct noun forms: use plural 'landscapes'. 'So many' is acceptable but 'many' is more concise. Use parallel noun phrases for clarity.
× So I don't think I can see this view at other countries.
✓ So I don't think I can see these views in other countries.
Use 'in other countries' rather than 'at other countries'. Match plural 'views' with 'these views' or 'them'. The modal 'don't think I can' is fine for present assessment; ensure preposition and plurality are correct.
