Views— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: The student misunderstood and repeated the examiner's question as a question instead of answering. Give a direct, natural response (1 topic sentence) and, if needed, one short supporting detail. Use appropriate tense and first-person. Avoid repeating the examiner's words as a question.

Example: Yes, I enjoy taking pictures of different views. I especially like photographing landscapes because they help me capture the mood of a place; for example, I often take sunrise photos to show how light changes the scene.

Suggestion: Again the student repeated the examiner's question and used the wrong tense. Provide a clear preference in the topic sentence (urban or rural) and add one brief reason using a linking word (because, since, or as). Keep it concise and natural.

Example: I prefer views in rural areas because they are quieter and more scenic; for example, rolling hills and fields often make more peaceful photos than city streets.

Suggestion: The response is another repetition rather than an answer. Answer directly (own country or other countries) and support with one specific reason or example. Use correct pronouns and plural forms (my country/other countries).

Example: I prefer views in other countries because I enjoy discovering different landscapes and cultures; for instance, I loved the coastal scenery when I visited Portugal last year.

× Did you like taking pictures of different views?

✓ Yes, I like taking pictures of different views.

The examiner asked in present simple 'Do you like...'. The student responded with a past tense question form 'Did you like...', which is incorrect. Use present simple to match the examiner: 'Yes, I like...' or respond with 'No, I don't like...'. If you intend to ask back, use 'Do you like...'.

× Did you prefer views in urban areas?

✓ I prefer views in urban areas.

The examiner asked 'Do you prefer...' (present simple). The student replied with 'Did you prefer...', which is past tense and incorrectly formed as a question. Use present simple statement: 'I prefer...' to state your preference. If asking back, say 'Do you prefer...'.

× Do you prefer views in our country or other country?

✓ Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?

The examiner's original question uses second person 'you'. The student answered with 'Do you prefer...' but used 'our country' and singular 'other country', which are incorrect pronoun and number choices. To match the examiner's perspective and be grammatically correct, use 'your own country' and plural 'other countries' or 'another country'. Alternatively, if answering for themselves, say 'I prefer views in my own country or in other countries.'
