I prefer views in remote areas because scenery such as trees and rivers helps me relax. I also enjoy being there alone since nobody bothers me and I can go for long walks or read by the water without distractions.

Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
考生
I prefer views in other countries. For instance, in Australia, even though there are some famous landscapes that many tourists know, I can still enjoy the peaceful moment. However, that didn't happen when I was in Taiwan, which was overcrowded everywhere.
Do you like taking pictures of different views?
分数: 86.0建议: Good content and coherence; reduce minor redundancy and improve lexis and linking. Begin with a clear topic sentence, use one linking phrase to connect ideas, and choose more precise vocabulary (e.g., 'industrial scenes' instead of 'industry'). Avoid repeating 'I love' ideas and keep within 3–4 sentences.
示例: Yes, I do. I enjoy photographing natural scenes like trees, rivers and sunsets because they help me capture peaceful moments. In addition, I like urban photography—industrial scenes and cityscapes—because they offer creative opportunities, such as interesting shadows and textures.
Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
分数: 90.0建议: Strong direct answer and specific reasons; improve coherence by adding a linking word and vary vocabulary (e.g., 'solitude' instead of 'being there alone'). You can combine sentences slightly to sound more natural and avoid repeating 'I'.
示例: I prefer rural or remote areas because natural scenery like trees and rivers helps me relax. Moreover, I value the solitude there—I can take long walks or read by the water without distractions.
Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
分数: 84.0建议: Clear preference and relevant examples, but improve grammar, cohesion and specificity. Use clearer linking words (e.g., 'for example' and 'on the other hand'), correct tense and articles ('the peaceful moments' or 'peace and quiet'), and avoid vague phrases like 'overcrowded everywhere'—specify places or times.
示例: I prefer views abroad. For example, in Australia I could still find quiet spots near famous landscapes and enjoy peace and quiet. On the other hand, when I visited Taiwan, popular spots were often overcrowded, which made it hard to relax.
× I also enjoy photographing industry.
✓ I also enjoy photographing industry scenes.
The noun 'industry' is a mass noun here and sounds odd alone; adding 'scenes' clarifies meaning and fits context. Alternatively, use 'industrial areas' or 'industry scenes' to refer to urban/industrial subjects. This is an article/word choice issue: the original lacks a noun phrase that correctly describes what is being photographed.
× It allows me to take some more creative shots of my shadow when I am out in the city.
✓ It allows me to take more creative shots of my shadow when I am out in the city.
The phrase 'some more creative shots' is not ungrammatical but wordy; removing 'some' produces a more natural expression. This concerns adjective/quantifier placement and choice rather than verb form; simplifying improves fluency.
× I prefer views in remote areas because scenery such as trees and rivers helps me relax.
✓ I prefer views in remote areas because scenery such as trees and rivers help me relax.
The subject is 'trees and rivers' (plural), so the verb should be plural 'help' not 'helps'. Alternatively, if 'scenery' is intended as singular, rephrase to 'because the scenery, such as trees and rivers, helps me relax.' Ensure subject and verb agree.
× I also enjoy being there alone since nobody bothers me and I can go for long walks or read by the water without distractions.
✓ I also enjoy being there alone since nobody bothers me and I can go for long walks or read by the water without distraction.
'Without distractions' is acceptable, but 'without distraction' is more idiomatic in this context. This is a pronoun/word-choice nuance; use singular 'distraction' to emphasize absence of disturbance. Either form is possible; suggestion improves naturalness.
× However, that didn't happen when I was in Taiwan, which was overcrowded everywhere.
✓ However, that didn't happen when I was in Taiwan, which was overcrowded everywhere.
Sentence is grammatically acceptable; no correction needed. It correctly uses past tense 'didn't happen' and 'was overcrowded'. No change required. Note: If you wanted to be more concise, you could write 'However, that didn't happen in Taiwan because it was overcrowded.' This preserves past tense and clarifies causal relationship.
× I prefer views in other countries.
✓ I prefer views in other countries.
This sentence is correct as written; no article change needed. It correctly expresses preference. No correction necessary.
× I love capturing natural sceneries such as trees, rivers and sunsets because it helps me preserve peaceful moments.
✓ I love capturing natural scenery such as trees, rivers, and sunsets because it helps me preserve peaceful moments.
'Scenery' is an uncountable noun; do not pluralize to 'sceneries'. Use 'scenery' singular, and include serial comma for clarity. This fixes incorrect pluralization of an uncountable noun.
× For instance, in Australia, even though there are some famous landscapes that many tourists know, I can still enjoy the peaceful moment.
✓ For instance, in Australia, even though there are some famous landscapes that many tourists know, I can still enjoy the peaceful moments.
'Peaceful moment' is odd when referring generally; plural 'peaceful moments' fits the idea of enjoying peaceful experiences. This is an issue of noun number and natural collocation rather than verb participle; change improves naturalness.
