Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?

It depends on my mind. When I feel really stressed and busy, I prefer to see rural life because the rural picture is more comfortable and peaceful to me. But when I feel really depressed and just disappointed I saw, I see the art.

Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Candidato
I preferred the views in other countries because I have lived here for 15 years, so I'm quite tired of my surroundings. Everything feel pretty familiar and repetitive, so when I visit another country, the scenery feels really refresh and umm, exciting to me.
Do you like taking pictures of different views?
Pontuação: 62.0Sugestão: Be more grammatical and concise: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid filler words and tense errors, and add one specific detail. Use linking words to connect ideas. For example, say you take photos to preserve memories and give a concrete instance of a scene you photographed.
Exemplo: Yes, I do. I enjoy photographing scenery because the images help me relive special moments. For example, I once took a photo of a mountain lake at sunrise, and every time I look at it I remember the light, the silence and how peaceful I felt.
Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
Pontuação: 55.0Sugestão: Make your answer more coherent and use linking words. Start with a clear preference statement or say it depends, then explain reasons with specific examples. Avoid vague or contradictory phrases and fix grammar (e.g., 'depends on my mood').
Exemplo: It depends on my mood. If I'm stressed, I prefer rural views because the open fields and quiet villages make me feel calm. On the other hand, when I want inspiration, I choose urban scenes like a colorful street mural because the energy and creativity revive me.
Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Pontuação: 68.0Sugestão: Use correct tense and more precise language; give a brief specific example of what you find refreshing abroad. Keep the answer within 3–4 sentences and use linking words (e.g., 'because', 'for example').
Exemplo: I prefer views in other countries because, after living here for 15 years, my surroundings feel familiar and repetitive. For example, seeing a coastal village in Greece with different architecture and colours felt refreshing and exciting, and it renewed my curiosity.
× I like taking a picture of scenery because when I seen the picture later, I feel really, uh, I, I'm back, uh, the, the picture bring back at the time, at the moment and I really revived the, the experience.
✓ I like taking pictures of scenery because when I see the pictures later, I feel like I'm back in the moment and the pictures bring back the experience.
The original sentence uses incorrect past tense 'seen' where the present tense 'see' is appropriate because the speaker describes a habitual or repeated action. 'Bring back' was incorrect in form and should be 'bring back' with plural subject 'pictures'. 'Revived' is wrong in this context; use 'bring back the experience' or 'relive the experience'. Also plural agreement: 'a picture of scenery' is awkward; use 'pictures of scenery' for habitual action. Suggestions: use present simple for habitual actions, match verb forms to subjects (plural pictures + bring), and use 'relive' or 'bring back the experience' instead of 'revived'.
× It depends on my mind.
✓ It depends on my mood.
'Depends on my mind' is unnatural and ungrammatical; the correct collocation is 'depends on my mood' to express one’s current emotional state. Use common fixed expressions for states and feelings.
× When I feel really stressed and busy, I prefer to see rural life because the rural picture is more comfortable and peaceful to me.
✓ When I feel really stressed and busy, I prefer rural scenes because rural pictures are calmer and more peaceful to me.
'Prefer to see rural life' is awkward; 'prefer rural scenes' is more natural. 'The rural picture is more comfortable' contains adjective misuse—pictures are not 'comfortable'; 'calmer' or 'more peaceful' is better. Also subject-verb agreement: 'rural pictures are'. Suggestions: choose appropriate adjectives for inanimate subjects and ensure plural agreement.
× But when I feel really depressed and just disappointed I saw, I see the art.
✓ But when I feel really depressed and disappointed, I look for art.
The phrase 'just disappointed I saw' is ungrammatical and likely a misordering; 'disappointed' should be linked to the speaker. 'I see the art' is unnatural; 'I look for art' or 'I turn to art' better expresses seeking art for comfort. Use clear subject-verb constructions and logical word order.
× I preferred the views in other countries because I have lived here for 15 years, so I'm quite tired of my surroundings.
✓ I prefer the views in other countries because I have lived here for 15 years, so I'm quite tired of my surroundings.
The original uses past tense 'preferred' though the speaker expresses a current general preference; use present simple 'prefer'. 'Have lived' is present perfect and correctly indicates duration up to now. Ensure tense matches the intended meaning: present simple for general preferences.
× Everything feel pretty familiar and repetitive, so when I visit another country, the scenery feels really refresh and umm, exciting to me.
✓ Everything feels pretty familiar and repetitive, so when I visit another country, the scenery feels really refreshing and exciting to me.
Subject-verb agreement error: 'Everything' requires singular verb 'feels' (Grammar problem type 27 also applies but mapped to Present tense issue here). 'Refresh' is the base verb; the correct adjective is 'refreshing'. Use parallel adjectives 'refreshing and exciting'. Suggestions: ensure subject-verb agreement and correct adjective forms (-ing) when describing feelings caused by something.
