× I really like to find some photos of a famous tourist attractions like uh, Sydney Opera or umm, the Empire State Building
✓ I really like to find some photos of famous tourist attractions like uh, the Sydney Opera House or umm, the Empire State Building
The phrase 'a famous tourist attractions' is incorrect because 'attractions' is plural and cannot be preceded by the singular article 'a'. Also, 'Sydney Opera' should be 'the Sydney Opera House' for accuracy. The correction removes the singular article and uses the plural form correctly.
× I will just look at the pictures and draw them down uh, most of my drawing.
✓ I will just look at the pictures and draw them, uh, most of my drawings.
The phrase 'most of my drawing' is incorrect because 'drawing' is singular and does not fit with 'most of', which implies plural. Changing 'drawing' to 'drawings' correctly matches the plural sense intended.
× Yes, I really enjoy going to the galleries and see all the paintings
✓ Yes, I really enjoy going to the galleries and seeing all the paintings
After 'enjoy', the verb should be in the '-ing' form. 'See' should be changed to 'seeing' to maintain correct verb form after 'enjoy'.
× because I think it is a very umm, meaningful and uh, kind of relaxing leisure activities.
✓ because I think they are very umm, meaningful and uh, kind of relaxing leisure activities.
The phrase 'a very meaningful and kind of relaxing leisure activities' is incorrect because 'activities' is plural and cannot be preceded by the singular article 'a'. Also, the verb should agree with the plural subject 'activities', so 'is' changes to 'are'.
× So umm, I would very love to learn more about Japanese.
✓ So umm, I would really love to learn more about Japanese art.
The phrase 'I would very love' is incorrect; 'very' is not used with 'love' in this way. 'Really' is the correct adverb here. Also, 'Japanese' alone is incomplete; specifying 'Japanese art' clarifies the meaning.
× Well, I learned drawings in the art class of schools, but I didn't really take a official course specifically teaching drawing skills.
✓ Well, I learned drawing in the art classes at school, but I didn't really take an official course specifically teaching drawing skills.
'Learned drawings' is incorrect; 'drawing' as a subject is uncountable here. 'Art class of schools' is awkward; 'art classes at school' is more natural. Also, 'a official' should be 'an official' because 'official' starts with a vowel sound.
