Views— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your answer is enthusiastic and shows a clear opinion, but it is a bit repetitive and contains an odd fragment (“picture of 1”). To improve: (1) Keep answers concise (max 3–4 sentences). Start with a direct topic sentence, then give one specific supporting detail or example. (2) Avoid repeating words like “absolutely” multiple times; use varied vocabulary (e.g., "truly," "really"). (3) Remove unclear fragments and check for accuracy before speaking. Use a linking phrase if adding a reason or example (e.g., "because", "for example").

Example: Yes, I do enjoy photographing different views. I often stop during walks to capture striking landscapes because they help me remember the mood of the place. For example, last month I took a photo of a sunset over the river that I keep on my phone.

Suggestion: Your answer gives an opinion and a reason, which is good. However, the first sentence is confusing (saying both ‘no’ and then preferring rural areas). To improve: (1) Begin with a clear direct response (e.g., "I prefer rural areas"). (2) Use coherent linking words to explain why (e.g., "because", "as"). (3) Avoid awkward phrases like "the second option"; name the choice: "rural areas." (4) Keep language natural and watch grammar (plural/singular agreement, e.g., "urban areas lack").

Example: I prefer views in rural areas. I find the countryside more peaceful because it often has wide open skies and natural scenery, whereas urban views can feel crowded and noisy.

Suggestion: You answered honestly, which is good, but the response is hesitating and a little repetitive. To improve: (1) Start with a clear direct statement ("I prefer views in my country"). (2) Give one brief supporting reason and avoid filler words like "well", "uh". (3) Use linking words to connect ideas ("because", "based on"). (4) Keep it to 2–3 sentences and provide a concrete example if possible (e.g., a landscape you like).

Example: I prefer views in my own country because I am most familiar with the landscapes and cultural landmarks here. Based on travel videos I've watched, I especially enjoy the coastal cliffs and traditional architecture that I see at home.

× Sometimes I just stop to get immersed in that absolutely astonishing view I get to see.

✓ Sometimes I just stop to get immersed in that absolutely astonishing view I see.

Redundant present tense expression 'get to see' is unnecessary and awkward after 'view'. Use simple present 'I see' to describe a habitual or immediate perception. Suggestion: remove 'get to' for clarity and conciseness.

× And yes, I absolutely have to take a picture of 1.

✓ And yes, I absolutely have to take a picture of it.

The particle '1' is not a proper pronoun or noun and breaks sentence structure. Replace with the appropriate pronoun 'it' referring to the view. Ensure objects are expressed as words, not numerals.

× No, there's a stark indifference between urban and rural areas and I prefer the second option any day.

✓ No, there's a stark difference between urban and rural areas, and I prefer the latter any day.

'stark indifference' is incorrect collocation when comparing two things; 'difference' is the correct noun. Also 'second option' is acceptable but 'the latter' is more natural. Additionally, add a comma before 'and' to join independent clauses.

× I believe that urban area lacks that mystique which rural area possesses a lot more of the times.

✓ I believe that urban areas lack the mystique that rural areas possess much more of the time.

Use plural 'urban areas' and 'rural areas' for general statements (article issue/pluralization). Use 'the mystique' as a specific quality, and correct word order: 'much more of the time' is idiomatic. 'Which' replaced by 'that' for restrictive clause.

× Since I haven't been to any other country rather than mine, I cannot really answer that question.

✓ Since I haven't been to any country other than mine, I cannot really answer that question.

The phrase 'rather than' is incorrect in this comparative context. Use 'other than' to exclude 'mine'. Also 'any other country rather than mine' is unidiomatic; reorder to 'any country other than mine' for correct sentence structure.

× Well, I've seen some videos in the Internet, uh, comparing my country to other countries.

✓ Well, I've seen some videos on the internet comparing my country to other countries.

Use the preposition 'on' with 'the internet' and lowercase 'internet' in general use. Remove filler 'uh' in written answers. 'In the Internet' is a preposition error.
