Views— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more natural and concise: start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Correct grammar (plural forms, articles) and avoid repetition. Also limit to 3–4 sentences to meet the Natural & Effective rule.

Example: Yes, I enjoy photographing different views. For example, I often take portraits of my children because their expressions bring me joy, and I also like capturing landscapes such as mountains and rivers when we visit natural spots. These photos serve as lasting memories.

Suggestion: Provide a complete, focused answer with a clear choice if asked to pick one. Use linking words (however, whereas) and correct nouns/articles. Be specific about why you prefer one option and give an example. Avoid trailing off and keep within 3–4 sentences.

Example: I like both urban and rural views, but if I had to choose, I would prefer rural scenes. Rural areas offer peaceful, unspoiled landscapes and natural light that make photos feel more authentic, whereas urban shots are better for architectural detail. For instance, I enjoy photographing quiet mountain villages because the atmosphere is calming and visually rich.

Suggestion: Start with a direct topic sentence and then add specific, well-linked reasons and examples. Fix grammar (pluralisation, remove duplicated words) and use more precise phrases rather than vague words like “etc.” Limit to 3–4 sentences and include a brief explanation of what makes those places special.

Example: I prefer views in my own country because it has a wide variety of beautiful landscapes and cultural sites. For example, Pokhara offers stunning lakes and mountain views, Mustang has dramatic desert-like valleys, and Kathmandu is full of ancient temples and courtyards. These locations give me diverse subjects to photograph and a strong sense of connection to my culture.

× Yes, I like taking picture of different views.

✓ Yes, I like taking pictures of different views.

The noun 'picture' should be plural because 'taking' implies repeatedly making multiple photos; 'different views' requires the plural 'pictures'. Use plural nouns when referring to more than one or a general activity of making photos.

× I generally take picture of my children.

✓ I generally take pictures of my children.

Same as above: 'pictures' should be plural when referring to multiple photos of children or the habitual activity of photographing them.

× I prefer to go to different natural places with mountains, rivers and take pictures there as well.

✓ I prefer to go to different natural places with mountains and rivers and take pictures there as well.

This sentence lists two nouns 'mountains' and 'rivers'; they should be joined with 'and' rather than a comma before 'and' used awkwardly. Also 'places with mountains, rivers' is acceptable but adding 'and' makes the parallel structure clearer and consistent with plural usage.

× Pictures serve as a memorial.

✓ Pictures serve as memorials.

When referring to the general function of pictures, use the plural 'memorials' to match 'pictures'. Using plural nouns for both subject and complement creates number agreement in general statements.

× I prefer the views of both urban and rural areas.

✓ I prefer the views of both urban and rural areas.

No change needed; this sentence is correct. (Included only for completeness.)

× Urban area shows us modern architecture of buildings and monuments, whereas rural area gives us unfiltered and peaceful scenery, mountains etcetera.

✓ Urban areas show us modern architecture, such as buildings and monuments, whereas rural areas give us unfiltered and peaceful scenery, such as mountains.

Use plural 'areas' because you refer generally to urban and rural regions. Also remove redundant 'architecture of buildings' — 'architecture' alone or 'buildings and monuments' works. Use 'such as' instead of 'etcetera' for clarity.

× But if I have to choose one, then I prefer taking picture of.

✓ But if I have to choose one, then I prefer taking pictures of rural areas.

The original ends abruptly and uses singular 'picture' incorrectly. Provide the missing object and use plural 'pictures' for the habitual action. Choose the intended preference (in context, the student seemed to prefer rural scenery); if other preference was intended, replace object accordingly.

× I prefer view of my country.

✓ I prefer the views of my country.

Use plural 'views' to match general reference to multiple scenic sights in the country. Also include 'the' before 'views' to indicate specific set of views being compared.

× My country has many scenic places and and they provide many picturesque scenes and frames.

✓ My country has many scenic places and they provide many picturesque scenes and frames.

Removed duplicated 'and' (typo). 'Places' is plural and correctly matched with 'they'. Ensure no repeated conjunctions.

× Pictures of temples, mountains, etc are popular in my country.

✓ Pictures of temples and mountains are popular in my country.

Avoid 'etc' in formal speech; use 'and' to join the listed items. Keep plural nouns 'pictures', 'temples', 'mountains' for consistency.
