Views— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your response did not answer the examiner's question and instead returned a question to the examiner. For Part 1 you must answer directly with a short, natural statement and can add one or two supporting details. Aim for 2–3 clear sentences, use topic sentence and a reason or example. Also avoid asking questions back to the examiner.

Example: Yes, I enjoy taking pictures of different views. I especially like landscape shots because they capture the mood of a place, for example a sunset over the sea. This helps me remember trips and practise my photography skills.

Suggestion: You repeated the examiner's question instead of giving an answer. In Part 1 you should choose a preference and support it briefly with reasons and an example using linking words (for example, because, so, however). Keep the answer natural and concise (maximum 5 sentences).

Example: I prefer views in rural areas because they feel peaceful and less crowded. For example, I like photographing rolling hills and rivers since they change with the seasons and offer colourful scenes.

Suggestion: The answer repeated or misphrased the examiner's question and did not respond. Also there is a grammar error ("build" instead of "views" or "buildings"). You should answer directly, state a clear preference, and give a specific reason or short example. Use linking words to connect ideas.

Example: I prefer views in other countries because I enjoy seeing different cultures and architecture. For instance, visiting old towns abroad gives me fresh perspectives and new subjects to photograph.

× Do you like taking pictures of your favorites? What?

✓ I like taking pictures of my favorite views.

The student's reply repeats the examiner's question and adds 'What?' which is unclear; this is a sentence structure error (ID 26). Also 'favorites' is vague and plural without a clear noun. The corrected sentence provides a complete, clear response that fits the question and uses 'favorite' as an adjective modifying 'views'. Suggestion: answer directly, use a noun after 'favorite' (for example, 'favorite views') and avoid adding 'What?'. Grammar problem type ID:26

× Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?

✓ I prefer views in urban areas.

The student simply repeated the examiner's question instead of answering it, which is a sentence structure/response error (ID 26). The correction provides a direct answer in present simple tense to match the question. Suggestion: respond with your preference and a short reason if needed, e.g. 'I prefer views in urban areas because I enjoy city architecture.' Grammar problem type ID:26

× Do you prefer build in your own country or in other countries?

✓ Do you prefer buildings in your own country or in other countries?

The student used the base verb 'build' after 'prefer', which is ungrammatical in this context; the correct noun 'buildings' is needed. This is a verb/noun form and sentence structure error (IDs 8/26), but per the allowed list we report the main issue as sentence structure error (ID 26). The corrected question uses the noun 'buildings' to match the intended meaning and keeps present simple tense. Suggestion: after 'prefer' use a noun ('buildings') or the gerund form if using a verb phrase (e.g. 'Do you prefer building in your own country...?' would mean whether you enjoy the activity of building).
