Views— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Improve grammar and fluency: use correct verb forms and reduce hesitation. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific details with linking words. Aim for natural phrases (e.g., “I really enjoy photography” rather than “quite keen on to”).

Example: I really enjoy taking photographs of landscapes. For example, when I visit a place with lovely scenery, I usually take several shots and then upload my favourites to Instagram so my friends can see them.

Suggestion: Answer the question directly and compare both options. Use a topic sentence stating your preference, then explain why with specific reasons and a linking word (e.g., “because” or “however”). Avoid repeating the same sentence as before.

Example: I prefer rural views to urban ones because the countryside feels more peaceful and natural. For instance, I like photographing rolling hills and rivers since they provide unique colours and compositions, whereas city scenes can be crowded and less tranquil.

Suggestion: Give a clear preference and support it with a reason and an example. Use linking words like “because” or “for example,” and correct verb forms (e.g., “I enjoy travelling to other countries”). Keep the response concise and avoid filler sounds.

Example: I prefer views in other countries because I enjoy discovering new landscapes and cultures. For example, when I travelled to Japan I loved photographing the contrast between modern cityscapes and traditional temples, which was very different from scenery at home.

× Well, honestly, I quite keen on to, uh, photography fields.

✓ Well, honestly, I am quite keen on photography.

Missing auxiliary verb 'am' for the adjective 'keen' and incorrect use of 'to' after 'keen on'; 'quite' modifies 'keen' so position is fine. Also 'photography fields' is unnatural — use 'photography'. Suggestion: use 'I am quite keen on photography' or 'I really enjoy photography.'

× So, uh, when I going, uh, somewhere, uh, which is, uh, full of beautiful views, I try to taking some picture and share with my friends on Instagram or social medias.

✓ So, when I go somewhere that is full of beautiful views, I try to take some pictures and share them with my friends on Instagram or social media.

'When I going' is incorrect; use base verb with present simple 'I go' for habitual action (present tense issue). 'Which is' is okay but 'that is' is more natural in defining clauses. 'Try to taking' mixes infinitive and -ing; correct form is 'try to take.' 'Some picture' needs plural 'some pictures.' 'Social medias' is incorrect plural; use 'social media.' Also add object pronoun 'them' when saying 'share them.' Suggestion: use present simple for habits and correct verb forms and noun plurality.

× Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries? Student: Well, honestly, I quite keen on, uh, traveling in, uh, different countries and, uh, seeing their different areas and taking a picture of them. So, uh.

✓ Well, honestly, I am quite keen on traveling to different countries, seeing their various regions, and taking pictures of them.

Same missing auxiliary 'am' before 'quite keen on.' Use 'traveling to' (not 'in') when indicating visiting different countries. 'Different areas' is vague; 'various regions' is clearer. 'Taking a picture' should be plural 'taking pictures' when referring generally. Use parallel gerund forms for a list: 'traveling, seeing, and taking.' Suggestion: include 'am,' use 'to' after 'traveling' for destination, pluralize nouns when generalizing, and keep parallel structure.
