1. "It shows a crossroad in a metropolis at night" to "It depicts a metropolis crossroad at night":
The change uses "depicts" for a more descriptive and artistic term.

2. "There are no pedestrians on the crossroad" to "devoid of pedestrians":
Replaced the sentence with a more concise phrase to improve flow.

3. "I think that's because it was taken at midnight" to "This absence is likely due to the photograph being taken at midnight":
Provided a more direct explanation for why there are no pedestrians.

4. "What are these lights?" to "The brightness of the lights obscures their source, which may be car headlights":
Clarified the question by providing a possible answer within the same sentence.

1. "I think that's right" to "I think you're correct":
Simplified the phrase for clarity and to address the subject of the conversation directly.

2. "lightning" to "lights":
Corrected the word "lightning" to "lights" to accurately describe the vehicle headlights.

3. "why the lights can be seen as that long linear lines" to "how these lights appear as long, linear lines":
Clarified and rephrased the sentence for improved clarity and precision.

4. "In addition" to "Furthermore":

1. "That make sense" to "That makes sense":
Corrected the verb agreement from "make" to "makes" for grammatical correctness.

1. "Once, I was considering" - I added a comma after "Once" to make the sentence clearer and more grammatically correct. It separates the introductory word "Once" from the rest of the sentence.

2. "how to use a camera professionally" - I added "a" before "camera" to indicate that you are talking about a single camera in general. Without "a," it might suggest you want to learn how to use cameras in a more general sense.

3. "rather overwhelming" - I replaced "over my head" with "rather overwhelming" for better clarity. "Over my head" is an idiom, but "overwhelming" more directly conveys the idea that it felt too difficult or challenging.

4. "so I gave up" - I added "so" to connect the two parts of the sentence and clarify the cause-and-effect relationship between finding it overwhelming and giving up.

5. "I thought at that time" - I replaced "I reckoned at that time" with "I thought at that time" for a more standard and clearer expression. "Reckoned" can be less common and may not be as clear in this context.

6. "I needed to learn many techniques related to using a camera" - I rephrased the sentence to make it more concise and clear. The original sentence was somewhat awkwardly structured. This revision provides a straightforward statement about the need to learn various camera techniques.

1. "I dislike it when" - I replaced "hate" with "dislike" for a slightly softer tone. "Hate" is a strong word, and "dislike" conveys a similar sentiment in a less intense way.

2. "I'd like to start improving it first" - I changed "I'd like to start" to "I would like to start" for a slightly more formal tone, and I added "this aspect" to make it explicitly clear that you are referring to the issue of shaky hands while taking pictures.
