Ví dụ: I prefer views in my own country because the landscapes feel familiar and meaningful to me. For example, the wide meadows and quiet coastal villages remind me of childhood holidays, so those scenes evoke strong memories and emotional connection.
× Yes, I like taking pictures of different views, especially buildings, natural landscapes such as meadowfield, paddies and the environmental surroundings and umm, these scenes have been very umm alluring landscape which.
✓ Yes, I like taking pictures of different views, especially buildings and natural landscapes such as meadows, paddy fields and the surrounding environment; these scenes are very alluring.
Original contains incorrect noun forms (meadowfield, paddies), awkward phrase 'the environmental surroundings', and an ungrammatical clause 'these scenes have been very umm alluring landscape which.' Use plural nouns 'meadows' and 'paddy fields', 'surrounding environment' for natural phrasing, and a clear predicate 'these scenes are very alluring.' Remove filler words and ensure subject-verb agreement with present tense 'are.' Suggestion: Replace informal fillers, use standard collocations (paddy fields, surrounding environment), and form a complete independent clause for the final idea.
× Basically, I prefer views in rural areas rather than urban areas because I think rural area has the most appealing features that urban area doesn't.
✓ Basically, I prefer views in rural areas rather than urban areas because I think rural areas have more appealing features than urban areas.
The original inconsistently mixes singular and plural ('rural area' vs 'rural areas') causing number disagreement. Also 'the most appealing features that urban area doesn't' is unidiomatic. Use consistent plural forms and comparative structure: 'rural areas have more appealing features than urban areas.' Suggestion: Keep noun number consistent and use 'more ... than' for comparison.
× And such as rural area has the serenity and the peaceful environment, the birds, fields, uh.
✓ For example, rural areas have serenity and a peaceful environment, with birds and fields.
Beginning with 'And such as' is ungrammatical: 'such as' introduces examples, not start a sentence with 'And such as'. The fragment lacks a main verb and mixes singular/plural. Recast as 'For example, rural areas have...' and include a complete predicate. Also use articles correctly ('a peaceful environment') and plural 'rural areas.' Suggestion: Use 'For example' to introduce exemplification and ensure a main verb is present.
× I prefer views in my own countries because our landscapes are unique and familiar, which makes me more than more meaningful to me.
✓ I prefer views in my own country because our landscapes are unique and familiar, which makes them more meaningful to me.
'Countries' is plural but context refers to speaker's country; use singular 'country'. The clause 'which makes me more than more meaningful to me' is ungrammatical and redundant. Replace with 'which makes them more meaningful to me' where 'them' refers to the views/landscapes and fits logically. Suggestion: Ensure noun number matches intended meaning and avoid redundant phrasing like 'more than more'.
× For example, there are wide meadows and quite coastal villages that reminds me of my childhood holidays, so I enjoy those scenes more than foreign views.
✓ For example, there are wide meadows and quiet coastal villages that remind me of my childhood holidays, so I enjoy those scenes more than foreign views.
'Quite coastal' is incorrect; 'quiet coastal villages' is likely intended. 'That reminds' disagrees with plural subject 'meadows and villages' and should be 'that remind.' Also 'childhood holidays' is acceptable but ensure verb agreement. Use correct adjective order and subject-verb agreement. Suggestion: Choose correct adjectives ('quiet'), and match plural subjects with plural verbs ('remind').
