Views— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more natural and grammatically correct: begin with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons using linking words. Avoid repetition and filler words. Correct verb forms (e.g., "I don't like taking photos") and use clearer phrasing for ideas like remembering visually.

Example: No, I don't usually take pictures of views. I prefer to remember scenes with my own eyes because it feels more personal and memorable; for example, I enjoy watching a sunset without my phone so I can focus on the moment.

Suggestion: Start with a direct topic sentence and give two clear, specific reasons using linking words. Reduce fillers and repetition. Use correct comparative forms and natural collocations (e.g., "clearer weather" or "better air quality").

Example: I prefer rural views rather than urban ones because rural areas tend to have more natural beauty and less traffic. For instance, the countryside often has open fields and cleaner air, which makes it more relaxing to visit.

Suggestion: Give a clear topic sentence and one or two concise, specific reasons. Use linking words (e.g., "because", "for example") and avoid vague repetition. Mention specific contrasting features you expect abroad to show variety.

Example: I prefer views in other countries because they often offer different styles of architecture and culture. For example, when I travel abroad I see streets and buildings that look very different from those in Chinese cities, which makes exploring more interesting.

× No, actually I don't like take pictures of different views.

✓ No, actually I don't like taking pictures of different views.

The verb 'like' followed by another verb requires the -ing form when expressing dislike of an activity. Use 'taking' instead of the base form 'take'. Suggestion: Use 'I don't like taking ...' for activities you dislike.

× Actually I just don't like using the cameras or using my photos to take pictures because I think remember things with my eyes are more interesting and unforgettable, so I don't like to take pictures.

✓ Actually I just don't like using cameras or taking photos because I think remembering things with my eyes is more interesting and unforgettable, so I don't like to take pictures.

Multiple issues: 'the cameras' is unnecessary article use; use plural 'cameras' or no article. 'Using my photos to take pictures' is illogical; 'taking photos' is correct. The verb 'remember' should be in gerund form 'remembering' after 'think'. Maintain parallel structure: 'using cameras or taking photos'. Suggestion: Remove unnecessary articles and use gerunds for actions after verbs like 'think' and 'like'.

× I think remember things with my eyes are more interesting and unforgettable, so I don't like to take pictures.

✓ I think remembering things with my eyes is more interesting and unforgettable, so I don't like to take pictures.

After 'think' when referring to a noun phrase as the subject, use the gerund 'remembering' and match the verb 'is' to the singular gerund subject. Use 'is' not 'are'. Suggestion: Use 'remembering ... is' for clarity and agreement.

× For me, I prefer things in rural areas because I think in modern, in modern areas there are a lot of umm, high buildings and uh, it is often umm, uh, very uh, traffic heavy.

✓ For me, I prefer rural areas because I think that in modern areas there are a lot of tall buildings and they are often very traffic-heavy.

Awkward phrase 'in modern, in modern areas' (repetition) and incorrect adjective order 'high buildings' — use 'tall buildings'. 'It is often very traffic heavy' misuses 'it' and adjective; refer to 'they' (buildings or areas) or say 'traffic is heavy'. 'Traffic-heavy' as a compound adjective is acceptable. Suggestion: Remove repetitions, use appropriate adjectives ('tall'), and ensure pronoun refers to correct noun or rephrase as 'traffic is heavy'.

× But in rural areas the things are more beautiful and the weather is more clearer.

✓ But in rural areas things are more beautiful and the weather is clearer.

Use 'clearer' without 'more' because 'clear' is a one-syllable adjective that forms the comparative with -er, not 'more clearer' (double comparative). Also 'the things' is unnecessary; 'things' is sufficient. Suggestion: Use single comparative form 'clearer' and avoid redundant articles.

× I prefer views in other countries because in my country that is China, especially in some famous cities such as Xi'an, Changsha, Chengdu, there are views which are very umm, very similar.

✓ I prefer views in other countries because in my country, China, especially in some famous cities such as Xi'an, Changsha and Chengdu, many views are very similar.

The phrase 'my country that is China' is awkward; commas and apposition 'my country, China,' are better. 'There are views which are very similar' is acceptable but can be more natural as 'many views are very similar.' Use 'and' in a list instead of repeated commas. Suggestion: Use apposition for country names and prefer natural quantifiers like 'many views'.

× So the things you can see in Chengdu, especially in the cities, you can also see in Xi'an.

✓ So the things you can see in Chengdu's cities you can also see in Xi'an.

Redundant phrasing 'especially in the cities' interrupts the sentence flow. Better to use possessive 'Chengdu's cities' or rephrase: 'Things you see in Chengdu you can also see in Xi'an.' Suggestion: Simplify structure and remove redundant qualifiers.

× But I think it will be different in other countries.

✓ But I think it is different in other countries.

Context refers to a general present truth, so use simple present 'is different' rather than future 'will be different.' Suggestion: Use present tense for general comparisons and habitual facts.
