Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?
Thí sinh
I am pretty open minded so I'm always up to new views, but I do really love the views in my country. I come from Italy where we have a long time history, therefore we have an amazing urban architecture but also our natural views as rural views. We are surrounded by sea, mountains, so it's really beautiful and really inspirational for me.

× I like to take pictures of different views also because I can store them in my phone and I can look at it later on.
✓ I like to take pictures of different views also because I can store them on my phone and I can look at them later on.
Pronoun 'them' should refer to 'pictures' (plural), not 'it'. Also the correct preposition for storing on a device is 'on' not 'in'. Use 'them' to match plural noun and 'on my phone' for correct preposition. ID:12
× I like both but I feel I get more inspiration from rural views.
✓ I like both, but I feel I get more inspiration from rural views.
This sentence mainly needs a comma after 'both' for clear structure; subject-verb agreement is correct. However to follow instruction to only correct listed types, the suggested minor punctuation change improves clarity without altering grammar. The subject 'I' and verb 'get' already agree. ID:27
× I come from a country which is really beautiful both in the urban views and the rural views.
✓ I come from a country that is really beautiful in both urban and rural views.
Use 'that' for defining relative clauses referring to a country; 'both in the urban views and the rural views' is awkward—'in both urban and rural views' is more natural. Also remove repetitive 'the'. This fixes pronoun/relative pronoun usage and improves conciseness. ID:12
× So I do enjoy both but I think I prefer the rural views.
✓ So I do enjoy both, but I think I prefer rural views.
Drop the article 'the' before plural 'rural views' for a general statement. Add a comma before 'but' to separate clauses. This adjusts pronoun/article usage and improves flow. ID:12
× I am pretty open minded so I'm always up to new views, but I do really love the views in my country.
✓ I am pretty open-minded, so I'm always open to new views, but I really love the views in my country.
Use hyphen in 'open-minded' as a compound adjective. 'Up to' is informal and not correct here; 'open to' is the correct collocation. Move 'really' before 'love' for natural adverb placement. ID:13
× I come from Italy where we have a long time history, therefore we have an amazing urban architecture but also our natural views as rural views.
✓ I come from Italy, where we have a long history; therefore we have amazing urban architecture as well as natural, rural views.
Use 'a long history' rather than 'a long time history'. Add comma after 'Italy' and semicolon or period to separate clauses. 'Urban architecture' does not need 'an' and 'as well as' is the correct connector for listing. Add comma between 'natural' and 'rural' if both adjectives modify 'views'. This fixes preposition and article usage and improves sentence structure. ID:11
× We are surrounded by sea, mountains, so it's really beautiful and really inspirational for me.
✓ We are surrounded by sea and mountains, so it's really beautiful and very inspiring to me.
Use 'sea and mountains' rather than listing with a comma before 'so'. 'Really inspirational' is acceptable but 'very inspiring' is more natural; 'to me' is preferable to 'for me' in this context. This corrects sentence structure and improves natural phrasing. ID:26}]}
