Views— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and natural: avoid repetition (e.g., saying you are 'well educated in it' is awkward) and reduce fillers like 'uh'. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Keep it within 2–4 sentences.

Example: Yes, I enjoy taking photos of different views. For example, when I go hiking I often photograph mountain landscapes, and when I walk around the city I focus on architectural details and street scenes, which helps me practice composition.

Suggestion: Clarify and correct small errors and use linking words to make contrast clear. Replace vague phrases ('our urban areas') and use a topic sentence followed by a contrasting reason with 'but' or 'however'. Keep it natural and specific.

Example: It depends on my purpose: for artistic practice I prefer urban areas because the variety of buildings and street life gives me more photographic opportunities, but for personal relaxation I choose rural areas because the peaceful scenery is more refreshing.

Suggestion: Be clearer and avoid hesitations. Start with a direct answer, then explain briefly why with specific examples. Correct grammar ('a country that is in two continents') and avoid contradictory short statements without explanation.

Example: I generally prefer views in my own country because it offers a wide variety of landscapes—some cities feel European while others have Asian influences. However, I don't particularly like the city I live in because it is crowded and lacks the scenic spots I enjoy.

× Yes, I'm quite interested in photography. I'm also well educated in it and I like to take pictures of different views.

✓ Yes, I'm quite interested in photography. I have a good knowledge of it and I like to take pictures of different views.

The phrase 'well educated in it' is awkward for describing practical knowledge or experience in photography. 'Well educated' usually applies to formal schooling; 'have a good knowledge of' or 'am well educated about' would be more natural. Suggestion: use phrases that match the intended meaning (knowledge/skill) rather than formal education.

× I also like, uh, hiking and walking around the city.

✓ I also like hiking and walking around the city.

The filler 'uh' is spoken hesitation and should be removed in a written grammatical correction. The sentence structure is fine once the filler is removed. Suggestion: omit disfluencies in formal responses.

× So yes, I quite enjoy taking pictures of different views.

✓ So yes, I quite enjoy taking pictures of different views.

This sentence is grammatically correct; there is no subject-verb agreement error. Included for completeness: keep present simple 'enjoy' to express general preference.

× It depends actually.

✓ It depends, actually.

The sentence is acceptable but needs a comma before the interjection 'actually' in writing to reflect natural pause. No pronoun misuse beyond punctuation.

× If I'm going for a walk for my artistic practice, I prefer our urban areas because of my work, but if it's only for me, I prefer rural areas.

✓ If I'm going for a walk for my artistic practice, I prefer urban areas because of my work, but if it's just for me, I prefer rural areas.

Using 'our urban areas' is incorrect because 'our' implies shared ownership not intended here; 'urban areas' is correct. Also 'only for me' is better expressed as 'just for me' for naturalness. Suggestion: remove unnecessary possessive pronouns and use 'just' for personal preference.

× Since I'm living in a country that that's in two different continents, it's quite umm, different in city to city.

✓ Since I live in a country that is in two different continents, it's quite different from city to city.

'I'm living' is acceptable but 'I live' fits better for a permanent situation. The phrase 'that that's' is erroneous repetition; use 'that is'. 'Umm' is a filler and should be removed. 'Different in city to city' is ungrammatical; use 'different from city to city.' Suggestion: use simple present for general facts, remove fillers, and use correct comparative preposition 'from' in 'different from X to Y'.

× I prefer my country, but not the city I live in.

✓ I prefer my country, but not the city I live in.

This sentence is grammatically correct. Pronoun 'my' is used appropriately. Included to confirm no change needed.
