Hello, this is a 70-100 words statement. Can someone give me comments on the content, and my grammar issues. If possible is there other perspectives best suit this essay --Thanks
Batam island is a popular tourist destination in my country --Indonesia. Eventhough this island is very small, there are many interesting places for visitors to visit, such as; Ocarina Beach, Tanjung Pingir Beach, and Barelang Beach. Swimming on these beaches are safe. Another fascinating feature is the live seafood and local fresh fruits, at fair prices from local stores and restaurants. Accomodations are also very convenient, several hotels provide nice sceenary and panorama view of neighbor country -- Singapore. These remarkable features make my city a famouse place for people who come here. (92 words).
While you presented a very interesting overview of your island, I believe that you could have told people more about your village if you had concentrated on only the best feature of your island, the people itself. Describe the friendliness of the people. Being a tourist destination, how can people who visit expect to be treated upon their arrival? Are the locals friendly? Warm? Hospitable? What is the unique character trait of the people from your island that would make tourists come back to it?
The reason that I suggest this is because tourists often say that the most interesting and unique part of their travel comes from meeting and mingling with the natives of the island. So if you discuss that within 100 words, I am sure that you will be able to not only describe your island as you did in this version of the essay, but you will be able to paint an accurate picture of the uniqueness of your island :-)
I would suggest that you revise your essay content-wise before we more on to highly minimal grammar and sentence structure issues in the paper. Make this the best it can be in terms of content and everything else will fall into place :-)
Thanks for your guidance, your time and efforts. This is the second draft, please help whether any unnecessary point to cut or any description to make it shorter as the words count is over the limitation allowed
