Views— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your answer is clear and directly responds to the question, but it is slightly generic and could be improved by adding a brief specific example and a connecting phrase. Also avoid mixing categories (views vs family moments) without explanation. Keep it concise (max 5 sentences).

Example: Yes, I enjoy taking pictures of different views, especially natural scenes like rows of old trees in my local park because they change dramatically with the seasons. For example, I took a photo of the same avenue in spring and autumn to remember how the colors transformed, which makes the pictures feel more meaningful.

Suggestion: Your idea is relevant, but the answer has grammatical mistakes, redundant phrasing and a clarity issue (e.g., "more cleaner," "more St. lighting"). Use a clear topic sentence, one or two linked reasons with correct comparative forms, and an example. Keep sentences fluent and concise.

Example: I prefer urban views because cities offer a greater variety of architecture and well-maintained parks. For instance, I like photographing modern buildings with reflective glass and the neat tree-lined boulevards that look attractive both day and night.

Suggestion: Your answer conveys the main idea but is repetitive and filled with hesitations. Use a clear topic sentence, avoid filler words, and provide a specific reason or example of what you find different abroad. Try to use linking words like "because" or "for example" to make the explanation coherent.

Example: I prefer views in other countries because they often feature unfamiliar architecture and landscapes that I haven’t seen before. For example, when I visited Japan I was fascinated by the contrast between traditional wooden houses and modern skyscrapers, which inspired many photos.

× I prefer views in urban areas because in urban the surroundings are more cleaner, neater and less litter so more St. lighting and I also enjoy the variety of buildings and parks which makes the city so bright and beautiful.

✓ I prefer views in urban areas because in urban areas the surroundings are cleaner, neater and have less litter, so there is more street lighting, and I also enjoy the variety of buildings and parks, which make the city bright and beautiful.

Errors: missing noun after 'urban' and incorrect article/word forms. Use 'in urban areas' rather than 'in urban'. 'More cleaner' is a comparative error (use 'cleaner' not 'more cleaner') but that falls under definite article/word choice here; 'less litter' needs a verb ('have less litter' or 'there is less litter'). Abbreviation 'St. lighting' is informal; use 'street lighting'. Subject-verb agreement: 'variety of buildings and parks, which make' — plural subject 'buildings and parks' requires 'make' not 'makes'. Suggestions: always include the noun after adjectives like 'urban', avoid redundant comparatives like 'more cleaner', include verbs for noun phrases (e.g., 'have less litter' or 'there is less litter'), and avoid abbreviations in formal speech.

× I prefer views in other countries because as I was born and brought up in my place, I know the things, I know what and all is there, so there's nothing much new. Umm, in different countries, umm, I can see many different things and uh, and I can discover beautiful things.

✓ I prefer views in other countries because I was born and raised in my hometown, so I already know what is there and there is not much that is new. In other countries I can see many different things and discover beautiful places.

Errors: wordy and ungrammatical phrasing like 'brought up in my place' and 'I know the things, I know what and all is there' are unclear and awkward. Use 'born and raised in my hometown' for natural expression. 'There's nothing much new' is informal and awkward; use 'there is not much that is new'. Repetition of filler sounds 'umm' and 'uh' should be removed in written responses. 'Discover beautiful things' is vague; 'discover beautiful places' is more natural when talking about views. Suggestions: simplify sentences, use standard phrases ('born and raised', 'hometown'), avoid fillers, and make subjects and verbs clear.
