Views— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Reduce hesitation and redundancy, and make the answer more concise and natural. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one specific supporting detail with a linking word. Avoid filler sounds like "umm."

Example: Yes, I enjoy photographing different views. For example, since becoming an adult I appreciate natural scenery more, so I often use my phone to capture sunsets and coastal landscapes when I visit them.

Suggestion: Be more precise and correct word choice; present a clear preference or balanced view with linking words. Use specific examples to support your opinion and correct plural/singular forms (e.g., "rural areas" not "rural ones").

Example: I like both, but if I had to choose I prefer rural areas because they offer peaceful natural views. However, when I'm in the city I enjoy modern skylines and historic architecture, which provide interesting photo subjects.

Suggestion: Avoid repeating phrasing and reduce hesitation. Use correct grammar (e.g., "The Philippines has" or "Philippine landscapes are"). Give a concise topic sentence and one or two specific examples of why you prefer local views.

Example: I prefer views in the Philippines because it has many beautiful beaches and lush islands. For instance, the white-sand beaches and clear waters in places like Palawan make local scenery especially memorable.

× Since I live in an urban area I appreciate nature, but whenever I travel to rural ones I also do appreciate the architectural designs of buildings.

✓ Since I live in an urban area, I appreciate nature, but whenever I travel to rural areas I also appreciate the architectural designs of the buildings.

Original used 'rural ones' which is an incorrect pronoun reference for 'rural areas'; replace with 'rural areas'. Also remove unnecessary 'do' for natural affirmative 'I also appreciate'. Add a comma after the introductory clause and use 'the buildings' to indicate specific architectural designs; this improves clarity and correctness. Suggestions: use precise nouns instead of vague pronouns, avoid unnecessary auxiliary 'do' in simple present affirmatives, and punctuate introductory clauses with a comma.

× Well, since I haven't traveled outside of my country, I would say I would prefer views here in the Philippines.

✓ Well, since I haven't traveled outside my country, I would say I prefer views here in the Philippines.

The original has an unnecessary double 'would' sequence ('I would say I would prefer'), which is awkward and can imply conditional meaning incorrectly. Use 'I would say I prefer' to indicate present preference. Also simplify 'outside of my country' to 'outside my country' for natural usage. Suggestion: avoid stacking modals when stating preferences; use 'would say' + simple present for a stated preference.

× Philippines have a lot of beaches and a lot of, uh, natural sceneries that I believe most people find it very beautiful.

✓ The Philippines has a lot of beaches and many natural scenic spots that I believe most people find very beautiful.

Country names like 'the Philippines' are plural in form but treated as a singular collective noun here, so use singular verb 'has' and include the definite article 'the'. 'Natural sceneries' is non-idiomatic; use 'natural scenic spots' or 'natural scenery' and avoid redundant 'a lot of' twice. Also remove the extraneous 'it' after 'find'. Suggestion: use 'the Philippines has', prefer 'natural scenery' or 'scenic spots', and avoid unnecessary fillers and redundant phrases.
