× I find it capturing landscapes allow me to unwind after a stressful day and appreciate the beauty of my surroundings.
✓ I find capturing landscapes allows me to unwind after a stressful day and appreciate the beauty of my surroundings.
Error type: incorrect verb form and subject-verb agreement. 'I find it capturing landscapes allow' is ungrammatical. Use either 'I find that capturing landscapes allows...' or 'I find capturing landscapes allows...'. Here 'capturing landscapes' is a gerund phrase functioning as the subject of 'allows', so the verb must be singular 'allows'. Suggestion: remove the extra 'it' and ensure subject-verb agreement ('capturing... allows').
× Definitely. I was always withdrawing. When I was a child.
✓ Definitely. I was always withdrawn when I was a child.
Error type: incorrect verb/adjective form. 'Withdrawing' is the present participle and implies an ongoing action; the intended meaning is a state, so the past participle/adjective 'withdrawn' is appropriate. Also the short sentence fragment 'When I was a child.' should be combined to form one correct sentence. Suggestion: use 'withdrawn' to describe a habitual state and combine clauses into one sentence.
× I used to spend hours sketching anything from cartoon characters to the trees in our Bay yard, which really helped field my imagination and creativity.
✓ I used to spend hours sketching anything from cartoon characters to the trees in our backyard, which really helped build my imagination and creativity.
Errors: incorrect word choice and capitalization and incorrect verb choice. 'Bay yard' is not standard; likely 'backyard' is intended and should be lowercase. 'Field my imagination' is incorrect collocation; the correct verb is 'build'. Suggestion: use standard noun 'backyard' and collocation 'build my imagination'. Ensure capitalization only where needed.
× I was obeyed, withdrawing.
✓ I was obedient and withdrawn.
Errors: wrong word forms and punctuation. 'Obeyed' is the past tense of 'obey' meaning someone followed orders; the adjective 'obedient' describes a person. 'Withdrawing' is a verb form; the intended adjective is 'withdrawn'. Combine with 'and' to join adjectives. Suggestion: use appropriate adjectives and link them with a conjunction.
× When I was a child, I used to spend hours sketching anything from cartoon characters to the trees in our bayard, which really helped build my imagination and creativity.
✓ When I was a child, I used to spend hours sketching anything from cartoon characters to the trees in our backyard, which really helped build my imagination and creativity.
Errors: spelling and word choice. 'Bayard' is a misspelling; 'backyard' is correct. Otherwise sentence structure is fine. Suggestion: correct spelling to 'backyard' and keep the rest as corrected earlier.
× Not really, we have quite diverse interests.
✓ Not really. We have quite diverse interests.
Error: punctuation and sentence boundary. The comma after 'Not really' makes a run-on; better to use a period. Subject-verb agreement is fine but sentence punctuation improvement recommended. Suggestion: separate short responses into sentences for clarity.
× While my family are into more sedentary activity such as gathering or reading, I'm much more an active person and I love to do high energy sports like mountain biking.
✓ While my family are into more sedentary activities such as gardening or reading, I'm much more an active person and I love doing high-energy sports like mountain biking.
Errors: pluralization, word choice and form. 'Activity' should be plural 'activities' to match 'more sedentary'. 'Gathering' is incorrect here; likely 'gardening' was intended. 'Love to do high energy sports' is awkward; use 'love doing high-energy sports'. Hyphenate 'high-energy' as a compound adjective. Also 'my family are' is acceptable in British English but 'is' may be preferred in American English; here retained 'are' per original. Suggestion: use correct noun forms, replace 'gathering' with 'gardening', pluralize 'activities', and use 'doing' for sports activities.
