× For example, I like photographing historic buildings and St. scenes because the shapes and textures change with the.
✓ For example, I like photographing historic buildings and street scenes because the shapes and textures change with the light.
The student wrote 'St. scenes' which is an incomplete abbreviation; it should be 'street scenes'. Also the sentence ends with 'change with the.' which is incomplete; adding 'light' completes the idea. This is a vocabulary/word choice and sentence completion issue; correcting it preserves the present participle 'photographing' which is used correctly. Suggestion: Use full words instead of unclear abbreviations and finish the comparative phrase: 'change with the light.'
× Urban area offer a wave of hustle and bustle of the city while rural areas give the calm and peaceful feeling which is.
✓ Urban areas offer a wave of hustle and bustle, while rural areas give a calm and peaceful feeling.
The original used 'Urban area offer' which mixes singular noun with plural verb. Change to 'Urban areas offer' or 'An urban area offers'. Also the clause 'which is.' is incomplete and unnecessary. Remove the trailing fragment and adjust punctuation. Suggestion: Ensure noun number matches verb ('areas' with 'offer') and avoid sentence fragments.
× Hmm to be honest I enjoy most of the areas.
✓ Hmm, to be honest, I enjoy most areas.
The sentence is generally present-tense but needs commas around 'to be honest' as a parenthetical phrase and 'most of the areas' is awkward; 'most areas' is more natural. This fixes wording while keeping present tense. Suggestion: Use natural collocation 'most areas' and punctuate parenthetical phrases.
× In my opinion, I grew up in Thailand and I haven't have a chance to travel to many places in Thailand.
✓ In my opinion, I grew up in Thailand and I haven't had a chance to travel to many places there.
The phrase 'haven't have' is ungrammatical: it should be the present perfect 'haven't had'. Also repeating 'in Thailand' is redundant; 'there' is clearer. Suggestion: Use the correct present perfect form 'haven't had' to indicate experience up to now.
× So I my answer would be I prefer views in my own country.
✓ So my answer would be that I prefer views in my own country.
The original has word order problems: 'So I my answer would be I prefer...' is ungrammatical. Insert 'my answer would be that' to create a clear structure and include 'that' to introduce the clause. Suggestion: Use a reporting phrase 'my answer would be that...' to present the response smoothly.
× I would like to explore it more than before.
✓ I would like to explore it more than I did before.
The original 'more than before' is understandable but ambiguous. Adding 'I did' clarifies the comparison and completes the idea. The modal 'would like' is correct; this change improves clarity and comparison. Suggestion: When comparing to past actions, include the verb for clarity: 'more than I did before.'
