Views— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Make the answer more fluent and concise, avoid filler words (uh), use a clear topic sentence and one or two supporting details with linking words. Be more specific about what kinds of views you like and why they create good memories. Limit to 3–4 sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes, I enjoy taking pictures of different views. I especially like landscapes and city skylines because they capture the mood of a place and remind me of the day I visited. For example, a sunset shot from a hilltop always brings back the peaceful feeling I had then.

Sugerencia: Give a direct preference with a brief explanation and a clear comparison using linking words (for example, however, because). Be specific about features you like in each setting and state which you prefer overall.

Ejemplo: It depends, but I generally prefer rural views. Urban areas can be impressive because of modern architecture and vibrant streets; however, rural areas often offer quaint houses and peaceful natural scenery, which I find more relaxing and photogenic.

Sugerencia: Start with a clear topic sentence stating your preference, then give a specific reason and one short supporting detail. Remove repetitions and filler words. Mention what kinds of new scenes you expect abroad to make the answer more vivid.

Ejemplo: I prefer views in other countries because I’ve already seen many places at home and want new scenes. For instance, I’d love to photograph foreign architecture and coastal landscapes that are different from what I have here.

× Taking pictures is one of the most, uh, interesting things for me because I like to, uh, have some good memories with taking pictures and when I, uh, watch it, it can be a good feeling for me.

✓ Taking pictures is one of the most interesting things for me because I like to create good memories by taking pictures, and when I look at them, it gives me a good feeling.

The original uses awkward or incorrect verb + -ing constructions: 'have some good memories with taking pictures' is unidiomatic; 'with taking' should be expressed as 'by taking'. Also 'watch it' incorrectly refers to the pictures (singular 'it') and uses 'watch' instead of the more natural 'look at' for photos; plural pronoun 'them' is required. Suggested improvements: use 'by' + verb-ing to express means, use 'look at' for viewing photos, and ensure pronoun agrees in number with the noun it refers to.

× Actually, it depends on that city. Some cities have a beautiful and modern apartments, but sometimes you can see a beautiful and, uh, wonderful little house in rural areas.

✓ Actually, it depends on the city. Some cities have beautiful, modern apartments, but sometimes you can see a beautiful, wonderful little house in rural areas.

Errors: 'depends on that city' is unnatural; use 'depends on the city' or 'depends on each city'. 'a beautiful and modern apartments' mixes singular article 'a' with plural 'apartments' (singular/plural issue) and uses 'and' between two adjectives without correct order or punctuation. Correct by removing the article and placing adjectives before the plural noun: 'beautiful, modern apartments'. Also remove the extra comma and filler 'uh'. Suggestions: match articles to noun number, place adjectives in the proper order before the noun, and use 'depends on the city' for natural phrasing.

× I visited most of the cities in my country, so I really want to visit other countries to have, uh, some beautiful pictures to take some pictures of.

✓ I have visited most of the cities in my country, so I really want to visit other countries to take some beautiful pictures.

Problems: repetition 'to have... to take some pictures of' is redundant and ungrammatical. Tense: 'I visited most...' is acceptable but present perfect 'I have visited most...' better connects past experience to current desire. 'Some beautiful pictures to take some pictures of' is awkward; use 'to take some beautiful pictures' or 'to take pictures of beautiful places.' Suggestions: avoid redundancy, choose appropriate tense for experience affecting present, and use concise, natural phrasing for purpose ('to take some beautiful pictures').
