Views— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and fluent: remove fillers like “umm”, start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using a linking word. Also vary vocabulary (e.g., ‘sunsets’, ‘cloudscapes’, ‘golden hour’) to sound more natural.

Example: Yes, I enjoy photographing different views. For example, I often photograph skies at sunset because the colours and cloud patterns create dramatic, warm scenes that are great for landscape photos.

Suggestion: Use correct word choices and a clear structure: begin with a direct topic sentence (I prefer...), then give a specific reason and a brief example. Replace ‘preferably choose’ with ‘prefer’ and add linking words like ‘because’ or ‘so’.

Example: I prefer views in rural areas because they showcase unspoilt nature and peaceful landscapes; for instance, I like photographing rolling fields and tree-lined lanes that feel calm and timeless.

Suggestion: Make the contrast clearer and avoid awkward phrasing. Start with your preference, use a linking word to introduce the contrast (e.g., ‘however’), and give a short reason for each part. Keep sentences natural and specific.

Example: I generally prefer views in my own country because I’m familiar with the best spots and seasons here; however, I’m also keen to explore other countries to see different landscapes and cultural scenery, such as mountain ranges or coastal towns I've never seen.

× I preferably choose the views in the rural areas because it captures the beauty of nature.

✓ I prefer views in rural areas because they capture the beauty of nature.

The student used 'preferably' incorrectly. 'Preferably' is an adverb meaning 'ideally', but the verb here should be 'prefer' to express choice. Also 'the rural areas' is overly specific; 'rural areas' is more natural. There is subject-verb agreement issue: 'views' (plural) requires 'they' not 'it'. Suggestion: Use 'prefer' for expressing preference and match plural subjects with plural pronouns and verbs. Grammar problem type's ID:14 | Grammar problem type: Incorrect use of quantifiers / adverb choice.

× I prefer views in our country, however, I also want to explore the other countries.

✓ I prefer views in my country; however, I also want to explore other countries.

The pronoun 'our' implies shared reference with the examiner and is awkward; 'my country' is clearer for a personal preference. 'The other countries' is unnecessarily definite; 'other countries' is the correct general expression. Use a semicolon or period before 'however' when connecting two independent clauses. Suggestion: Use 'my' for personal preference and omit 'the' before 'other countries'. Grammar problem type's ID:12 | Grammar problem type: Incorrect use of pronouns.

× I do, in fact, I like taking pictures of umm, skies, especially sunsets.

✓ I do. In fact, I like taking pictures of skies, especially sunsets.

Run-on sentence: use a period or conjunction between 'I do' and 'In fact'. Remove filler 'umm' in formal responses. 'Skies' is acceptable without an article. Suggestion: Break into two sentences and avoid fillers for clarity. Grammar problem type's ID:22 | Grammar problem type: Article errors.
