Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. Words like "color grading" and "perspective" show a good range. However, some phrases could be more precise and natural-sounding. For example, "a form of art" is better than "one kind of art." The phrase "interesting activities to do with yourself and with your friends to improve closely to your friends" is awkward and could be simplified.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical inaccuracies. "Taking photos make me learn" should be "Taking photos helps me learn" or "Taking photos allows me to learn." The phrase "It is also interesting hobby when you are born" is grammatically incorrect and doesn't make sense. The sentence structure is generally simple, and more complex grammatical structures could be used to enhance the answer.
