I prefer views in Australia rather than Japan because I was living in Tokyo, Japan, so it's like pretty city and then you don't see any nature's like green tree birds or something. But now in Australia I feel it's like more environmental and you can enjoy nature.

Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?
Điểm: 44.0Gợi ý: Clarify your preference and fix contradictions: start with a clear topic sentence stating your choice, then give specific reasons with linking words. Use accurate vocabulary (countryside, urban areas, spots) and correct comparative structures.
Ví dụ: I prefer taking photos in rural areas because the countryside offers more natural scenes like fields and trees. In addition, rural spots often have hidden viewpoints and fewer people, so I can take pictures without interruption.

Điểm: 50.0Gợi ý: Make your comparison clear and grammatically correct. Begin with a concise statement of preference, then give specific contrasts and examples. Avoid vague words and fix noun/possessive errors ("nature's" -> "nature").
Ví dụ: I prefer views in Australia to those in Japan. For example, when I lived in Tokyo I saw mainly cityscapes with few green spaces, whereas in Australia there are abundant parks, native trees and birds, so I can enjoy more natural scenery.
× Yes I do, I really enjoy collecting some pictures that I think it's beautiful, but unfortunately I'm not good at taking pictures so I'll be practicing taking pictures for a while but it still hasn't get better yet.
✓ Yes, I do. I really enjoy collecting pictures that I think are beautiful, but unfortunately I'm not good at taking photos, so I've been practicing for a while and it still hasn't gotten better yet.
Errors: 'collecting some pictures that I think it's beautiful' has a subject-verb agreement and relative clause issue; 'that I think are beautiful' uses the present plural participle/verb form to agree with 'pictures'. 'Taking pictures' repeated is wordy; use 'photos'. 'I'll be practicing taking pictures for a while but it still hasn't get better yet' mixes future progressive with present perfect and uses incorrect past participle 'get' (should be 'gotten' or 'improved'). Revised to 'I've been practicing for a while and it still hasn't gotten better yet' to show an action started in the past and continuing to present. Suggestion: use consistent tense (present perfect continuous for ongoing practice), ensure plural agreement between 'pictures' and 'are', and use correct past participle 'gotten' (or 'got' in British English).
× Umm I prefer taking photos at urban areas because I think the nature is beautiful than urban areas and also countryside has like more secret sport to take photos.
✓ Umm, I prefer taking photos in urban areas because I think urban scenery is less beautiful than the countryside, and the countryside has more secret spots for taking photos.
Errors: 'at urban areas' should be 'in urban areas' (use 'in' for areas or places). 'I think the nature is beautiful than urban areas' is incorrect structure and comparison; use 'urban scenery is less beautiful than the countryside' or rephrase. 'Countryside has like more secret sport' contains several issues: 'like' is filler and informal, 'secret sport' should be 'secret spots', and preposition 'to take photos' should be 'for taking photos' or 'to take photos in'. Suggestion: use correct prepositions ('in'), correct comparative structure, remove filler words, and use 'spots' for locations.
× I prefer views in Australia rather than Japan because I was living in Tokyo, Japan, so it's like pretty city and then you don't see any nature's like green tree birds or something.
✓ I prefer views in Australia rather than Japan because I lived in Tokyo, Japan. Tokyo is a beautiful city, but you don't see much nature there, like green trees or birds.
Errors: 'I was living in Tokyo' is awkward when stating a past fact; simple past 'I lived' is better for a finished period. 'it's like pretty city' incorrect article and word order; should be 'Tokyo is a beautiful city'. 'you don't see any nature's like green tree birds' has possessive error 'nature's', singular/plural issues 'green tree birds', and count/quantity issue 'any' vs 'much'. Correct to 'you don't see much nature there, like green trees or birds'. Suggestion: use simple past for past residence, correct article and adjective order, and plural nouns for general items.
× But now in Australia I feel it's like more environmental and you can enjoy nature.
✓ But now in Australia I feel it's more natural and you can enjoy nature.
Errors: 'it's like more environmental' is unnatural: 'environmental' describes policies or concerns, not the feel of a place. Use 'more natural' or 'more environmentally rich'. The filler 'like' is unnecessary. Suggestion: choose appropriate adjective ('natural') and remove fillers for clearer expression.
