Views— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Improve grammar and sentence structure: use correct verb forms, articles, and pluralization (e.g., “taking pictures of only one view” not “only take pictures of 1 certain view”). Make your reply more concise and natural by starting with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific reasons or an example. Use linking words (for example, because, so) to connect ideas. Keep it to no more than 3–4 sentences.

Example: Yes, I enjoy photographing a variety of scenes. I prefer different views because taking only one type of photo gives others a limited impression of me, and varying subjects shows different sides of my personality. For example, I shoot landscapes to capture nature and street scenes to show everyday life.

Suggestion: Reduce hesitations and improve vocabulary accuracy. Replace filler words (uh) and unclear terms (“sky copters” is unclear) with precise language like “skyscrapers” or “cityscapes.” Structure the answer: state preference (or say you like both), then give two clear contrasting reasons using linking words (for example, whereas, while). Keep it within 3 sentences.

Example: I like both, but for different reasons. In urban areas I enjoy photographing cityscapes and modern skyscrapers because of their dynamic lines, whereas in rural areas I prefer natural landscapes that help me relax and capture peaceful scenes.

Suggestion: Avoid repetition and tighten phrasing. Start with a clear topic sentence (I like both), then give one specific, contrasting reason for each choice using linking words (because, whereas). Remove repeated words and provide a short example or consequence to make the answer more specific.

Example: I like both. I appreciate views in my own country because I know the places well and feel comfortable, whereas views in other countries feel like an adventure and offer new scenes to discover.

× Yes, I like taking pictures of different views because I think only take pictures of 1 certain view will made people form stereotype of yourself.

✓ Yes, I like taking pictures of different views because I think only taking pictures of one certain view will make people form a stereotype of you.

Errors: missing gerund after 'think' clause and use of numeral '1', incorrect verb form 'made' instead of 'make', and wrong pronoun 'yourself'. Use 'taking' after 'think' to act as the noun phrase; use 'one' instead of '1' in formal speech; use base verb 'make' after 'will' for future; use 'you' (object) not 'yourself' which is reflexive and unnecessary here. Suggestion: use 'taking pictures of one certain view will make people form a stereotype of you.'

× Instead of it we could taking pictures of different views so we can show the difference of ourselves.

✓ Instead, we could take pictures of different views so we can show the differences between ourselves.

Error: incorrect use of '-ing' after modal 'could' (type 8). After modal verbs use the base form 'take' not 'taking'. Also 'Instead of it' is unnatural; use 'Instead' or 'Rather than that'. Use plural 'differences' and phrase 'between ourselves' to indicate comparison. Suggestion: 'Instead, we could take pictures of different views so we can show the differences between ourselves.'

× Actually, I'd like them both because, uh, in urban areas I can take photos, which is modern and uh, there are more sky copters and the futuristic buildings, uh, and in rural areas I can get close to nature and relax myself.

✓ Actually, I'd like both because in urban areas I can take photos that are modern; there are more sky copters and futuristic buildings, and in rural areas I can get close to nature and relax.

Errors: 'I'd like them both' — 'both' refers to two options, 'them' is unnecessary (type 12 pronoun issue). 'which is modern' wrongly refers to 'photos' with singular verb; better 'photos that are modern' (type 2/27 subject-verb agreement and relative clause). 'the futuristic buildings' — article 'the' is unnecessary when speaking generally (type 17). 'relax myself' — reflexive pronoun is unnecessary; use 'relax' (type 15). Suggestions: remove 'them', use 'photos that are modern', drop 'the' and avoid reflexive pronoun.

× Actually, I like both views in my own country and other countries because my own country is my hometown where I was born and raised.

✓ Actually, I like views in both my own country and other countries because my own country is my hometown where I was born and raised.

Error: word order and pronoun placement 'both views in my own country and other countries' is awkward (type 12). Better: 'views in both my own country and other countries' to clearly show 'both' applies to the two places. Suggestion: place 'both' before the coordinated noun phrase.

× I am familiar with all the all the facilities while in other countries everything is like an adventure.

✓ I am familiar with all the facilities, while in other countries everything is like an adventure.

Errors: repeated phrase 'all the all the' (type 26 sentence structure/typo) and comma needed before 'while' to separate clauses. Suggestion: remove duplicate words and add a comma: 'I am familiar with all the facilities, while in other countries everything is like an adventure.'
