Do you like taking pictures of different views?
Thí sinh
Yes, I like taking pictures of different views. One of the main reasons is that I don't want to have the same view in my pictures all over again. And another reason is I if I look at the pictures, I want to see the whole few that I saw in that moment I was taking a photo with my phone.

Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?

It depends on the moment because I love both sceneries. As I live in a urban area, I like the view of a city and the skyscrapers and it gives me a feeling of coming home. And I definitely love rural areas in Switzerland, especially the mountains. The scenery is so beautiful. You have.

× One of the main reasons is that I don't want to have the same view in my pictures all over again.
✓ One of the main reasons is that I don't want to have the same views in my pictures again.
The original uses 'the same view... all over again' which is awkward; 'views' plural matches 'pictures' and 'again' is sufficient. This is an issue with word choice and noun number; change 'view' to 'views' for consistency with 'pictures' and remove redundant 'all over' to make the sentence natural. Suggestion: Use plural 'views' when referring to multiple photos and avoid redundant phrases.
× And another reason is I if I look at the pictures, I want to see the whole few that I saw in that moment I was taking a photo with my phone.
✓ Another reason is that when I look at the pictures, I want to see the whole view I saw at the moment I took the photo with my phone.
Problems: incorrect word order ('is I if'), incorrect word choice ('few' should be 'view'), incorrect tense and phrasing. This fits Incorrect use of prepositions and sentence structure. Corrections: use 'that' after 'is', use 'when' instead of 'if' to indicate time, change 'few' to 'view', use 'at the moment' and past tense 'took' for the completed action. Suggestion: keep clauses in logical order: 'Another reason is that when I look at the pictures, I want to see the whole view I saw when I took the photo.'
× As I live in a urban area, I like the view of a city and the skyscrapers and it gives me a feeling of coming home.
✓ As I live in an urban area, I like the view of the city and its skyscrapers; it gives me a feeling of coming home.
Errors: incorrect article 'a urban' should be 'an urban' (vowel sound), article use before 'city' and possessive for 'skyscrapers' is more natural. This matches Incorrect use of prepositions/articles. Also sentence run-on; split or add punctuation. Suggestion: use 'an' before vowel sounds and use 'the city' or 'my city' and 'its skyscrapers' for clarity.
× And I definitely love rural areas in Switzerland, especially the mountains.
✓ I definitely love rural areas in Switzerland, especially the mountains.
This sentence is mostly correct but begins with an unnecessary conjunction 'And', which is a sentence structure issue. Remove 'And' to make the sentence more formal and concise. Suggestion: avoid starting statements with coordinating conjunctions in formal speech.
× The scenery is so beautiful. You have.
✓ The scenery is so beautiful.
'You have.' is a sentence without a clear verb or object and appears incomplete. This matches Sentence without a verb. Remove the fragment. Suggestion: if intending to address the listener, complete the thought, e.g., 'You have to see it.'
× I prefer views in other countries because I love to travel and experience different scenarios and also different scenery and one of my most favorite views is or was when I was on Chatu Island in South Korea and looking at the sea and just taking in that scenery is amazing.

Multiple issues: tense inconsistency ('is or was'), word choice ('scenarios' incorrect; use 'scenes'), redundancy ('most favorite' incorrect), and run-on sentence. These relate to Present/Past tense issues and sentence structure. Corrections: choose past tense 'was' for a past experience, use 'favorite' (not 'most favorite'), replace 'scenarios' with 'scenes', and split into two sentences for clarity. Suggestion: keep tense consistent and avoid redundant modifiers.
