Views— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Expand your answer with a clear topic sentence and one or two supporting details. Use a linking word if you add more information. Be natural and avoid one-word replies. Also correct minor grammar: say “Yes, I do” or “Yes, I like taking pictures.”

Example: Yes, I do. I enjoy taking pictures of different views because it helps me remember places I visit. For example, I often photograph sunsets and city skylines when I travel.

Suggestion: Start with a direct topic sentence saying your preference, then give a specific reason and a brief example. Use linking words such as “because” or “so” for clarity. Improve grammar: say “I prefer rural areas” and avoid filler words like “hmm.”

Example: I prefer views in rural areas because I grew up in the countryside and enjoy natural landscapes. For instance, I often take photos of fields and rivers, which feel peaceful and colourful.

Suggestion: This answer is confusing and lacks a clear structure. First state your preference clearly (own country or other countries). Then give one or two specific reasons with clear linking words (for example, “because” or “however”). Avoid filler words and ensure country references are accurate. Keep to 1–4 sentences.

Example: I prefer views in other countries because I enjoy seeing different cultures and architectures. For example, when I visited the USA I loved the diverse streets and cafés, which were very interesting compared with those in Japan.

× Yes, I like.

✓ Yes, I do.

The student used 'Yes, I like.' which is incomplete because 'like' usually needs an object or auxiliary in short answers. For general preference questions in present simple, the correct short answer uses the auxiliary 'do' (Yes, I do). Suggestion: use 'Yes, I do.' or 'Yes, I like taking pictures.' to provide a full response.

× Hmm I like rural areas photo because I live in rural.

✓ Hmm, I like rural area photos because I live in the countryside.

Several issues: 'rural areas photo' is ungrammatical—use plural 'photos' for countable noun and 'rural area' or 'rural areas'. 'I live in rural' is missing a noun; use 'in the countryside' or 'in a rural area'. The main corrections follow quantifier and noun count usage: 'photos' (plural) and inserting appropriate noun for 'rural'. Suggestion: use 'rural area photos' or 'photos of rural areas' and 'I live in the countryside.' Also add commas for clarity.

× Oh, Iraq also can't leave you because, umm, I went to USA so my country is Japan.

✓ Oh, I can't leave Iraq because I went to the USA, but my country is Japan.

The original mixes pronouns and subjects confusingly: 'Iraq also can't leave you' is nonsensical—likely meant 'I can't leave Iraq'. 'I went to USA' needs article 'the USA'. Also the sequence 'so my country is Japan' is contradictory without clarification; corrected to 'but my country is Japan' to express contrast. Suggestion: state clearly: 'I can't leave Iraq because...' or 'I visited the USA, but my country is Japan.' Use 'the USA' and place conjunctions correctly.

× Different side, uh, people, uh, cafe is very in interesting, so I like.

✓ On the other hand, the people and cafes are very interesting, so I like it.

The sentence is fragmented and word order is incorrect: 'Different side' is unclear—use 'on the other hand' to contrast. 'people, cafe is very in interesting' has subject-verb disagreement and wrong adjective placement. Corrected to 'the people and cafes are very interesting.' Also add a pronoun 'it' or rephrase to 'so I like it' to complete the thought. Suggestion: combine ideas clearly and ensure subject-verb agreement and correct adjective order ('very interesting').
