Views— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Reduce hesitation and redundant repetition; start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two concise supporting details. Use linking words (for example, but, however, so) to connect ideas and keep answers within 3–4 sentences. Also add a specific example to make the content more vivid.

Ejemplo: Yes, I enjoy photographing different views. I try to balance experiencing the moment with capturing it on camera, so I usually take one or two photos and then put my camera away. For example, at sunset I focus on getting a wide shot of the sky and then enjoy the scene without taking more pictures.

Sugerencia: Give a direct topic sentence and avoid filler words. Provide specific reasons and one clear example or comparison to support your preference. Use linking words like because and for example to make the answer coherent and limit yourself to 2–3 sentences.

Ejemplo: I prefer rural views because I love natural landscapes and tranquility. For example, I enjoy mountain and coastal scenery where I can relax and hear only birds or waves, unlike noisy city streets.

Sugerencia: State your preference clearly, then give specific reasons and examples rather than vague phrases like "I don't know." Mention particular features you like about those countries and avoid repetition. Use linking words such as because and for instance to organize the reply.

Ejemplo: I prefer views in other countries because I enjoy discovering new landscapes and cultural settings. For instance, I love the terraced rice fields in Vietnam and the tropical beaches in Thailand, which offer scenery very different from what I see at home.

× I really like taking pictures of different views, but I'm trying to balance, uh, the feeling of the moment and like, oh, I want to take a picture of it.

✓ I really like taking pictures of different views, but I try to balance the feeling of the moment and the urge to take a picture.

The original uses 'I'm trying to balance' which is acceptable, but mixing 'trying to balance' with 'like, oh, I want to take a picture of it' is informal and ungrammatical in flow. Replacing 'I'm trying to balance' with 'I try to balance' keeps the present habitual meaning appropriate for the context. Also removed filler words ('uh', 'like', 'oh') and changed 'the feeling of the moment and like, oh, I want to take a picture of it' to 'the feeling of the moment and the urge to take a picture' to use a concise parallel noun phrase structure. Suggest practicing forming parallel structures (noun + noun) and avoiding filler words in speaking.

× I like more rural areas because I really love nature, uh and lo like countryside, views, mountains, ocean and in central.

✓ I prefer rural areas because I really love nature, such as the countryside, mountains, and the ocean, and central regions.

Problems: 'I like more rural areas' is awkward; 'prefer' is more natural. 'lo like' appears to be a mistake. Missing articles before 'countryside' and 'ocean' and unclear phrase 'and in central.' The correction uses 'such as' to introduce examples and adds appropriate articles and parallel list punctuation. Suggest practicing using 'prefer' for comparisons, using 'such as' for examples, and placing articles ('the') where needed.

× I prefer views in other countries because I don't know, I just love foreign cultures and their nature.

✓ I prefer views in other countries because I love foreign cultures and their natural landscapes.

The phrase 'I don't know, I just' is filler and can be omitted for clarity. 'Their nature' is slightly awkward; 'their natural landscapes' or 'nature' without 'their' is clearer. The correction removes filler and improves noun choice. Suggest reducing fillers and using precise nouns.

× I really love nature of Asian countries such as such as Vietnam, Thailand and China.

✓ I really love the nature of Asian countries such as Vietnam, Thailand, and China.

The sentence repeats 'such as such as' (redundant) and omits the definite article 'the' before 'nature.' The correction removes the duplicate phrase and adds commas in the list. Suggest checking for accidental word repetition and remembering to use 'the' with 'nature' when specifying a region.
