Views— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your answer is natural and relevant, with a clear topic sentence and supporting details. Improve by avoiding hesitation and repetition (you said “capture the atmos… Sorry, capture the atmosphere”), and tighten the response to remain within 3–4 concise sentences. Also add one specific short example to make it more vivid (e.g., a memorable photo and why it mattered).

Example: Yes, I love photographing views when I travel. I often photograph mountains, waterfalls and sunsets because they capture the atmosphere of a place and the changing light. For example, on a trip to Ella I took a sunset photo over the valley that reminds me of the warm colors and peaceful feeling that evening.

Suggestion: Good structure and clear preference with reasons. Improve by using varied vocabulary (avoid repeating "views" and capitalize correctly) and add a linking phrase to contrast urban and rural more smoothly. Also provide one specific sensory detail to make the image stronger.

Example: I definitely prefer rural scenery because natural landscapes feel more peaceful and refreshing. For example, green mountains, tall trees and wide open fields calm me and let me hear birdsong, whereas cities, although impressive, often feel crowded and noisy.

Suggestion: Your answer gives a clear preference and a reason, but it ends abruptly and is incomplete (“because every place.”). Improve by finishing the contrast and adding a short specific example of a foreign view you’d like to see. Keep it concise and use a linking word for balance (e.g., “however” or “although”).

Example: I prefer views in my home country because Sri Lanka offers diverse scenery, from mountains and waterfalls to beaches and forests. However, I’d also like to see views abroad—for instance, the rugged fjords of Norway—because each country has unique landscapes that teach me about different cultures.

× I usually take photos of mountains, waterfalls and sunsets because they capture the atmos Sorry, capture the atmosphere of a place and give me something to look back on later.

✓ I usually take photos of mountains, waterfalls and sunsets because they capture the atmosphere of a place and give me something to look back on later.

The sentence contains an interrupted fragment 'the atmos Sorry, capture' which breaks flow and repeats the verb. Correct by removing the interruption and the duplicated verb to produce a single coherent clause. Suggestion: plan what to say before speaking to avoid mid-sentence corrections and ensure smooth present-participial phrasing.'

× I love views with Green Mountains, trees, and open spaces.

✓ I love views with green mountains, trees, and open spaces.

The adjective 'Green' is incorrectly capitalized; common adjectives should be lowercase. Capitalization makes it look like a proper noun. Suggestion: use lowercase for ordinary adjectives unless the word is a proper noun.'

× That said, I'd also love to experience views in other countries because every place.

✓ That said, I'd also love to experience views in other countries because every place has something unique to offer.

The clause 'because every place' is incomplete and lacks a verb and object; this is a sentence structure error. Complete the thought by adding a verb phrase such as 'has something unique to offer' to explain why. Suggestion: ensure subordinate clauses include a verb and complete idea.'

× I definitely prefer rural areas because I find natural scenery much more peaceful and refreshing.

✓ I definitely prefer rural areas because I find natural scenery much more peaceful and refreshing.

No article error in sentence; included here to show it's correct. The sentence uses 'natural scenery' correctly without an article. No change needed. Suggestion: maintain zero article with uncountable nouns like 'scenery' when speaking generally.'
