Score: 56.0Suggestion: Be more concise and grammatical. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid filler words (umm, uh), correct grammar (e.g., "the rural area" → "a rural area"), and use a linking phrase to contrast rural and urban areas. Limit to 2–3 sentences.
Example: No, there aren’t any tall buildings near my home because I live in a rural area where most houses are single-storey. However, when I visit the city I usually see many tall buildings, which look very different from my neighbourhood.

Do you want to live in a tall building?

× all of the houses are flat and but when I visit the cities are you usually see the tall buildings.
✓ All of the houses are single-storey, but when I visit the cities I usually see tall buildings.
The original sentence mixed plural/singular forms and had word order problems. 'Houses are flat' is unnatural; 'single-storey' describes houses. 'When I visit the cities are you usually see' has incorrect word order and an extra 'are you'. Correct subject-verb order is 'I usually see tall buildings.' Keep plural 'buildings' to match 'tall buildings' in cities.
× This is because it can help me remember the trap trip and also the places.
✓ This is because it helps me remember the trip and the places.
The modal 'can' is not necessary; present simple 'helps' is more natural for habitual/general truth. 'Trap trip' is likely a mistake for 'trip.' Remove redundant 'also' before 'the places' and use parallel structure 'remember the trip and the places.'
× And by shelling these photos, umm I can also have the opportunity to talk with my friends.
✓ And by sharing these photos, I can also have the opportunity to talk with my friends.
The word 'shelling' is incorrect; 'sharing' is the correct gerund after 'by.' 'By' + verb-ing is the correct structure to express the means ('by sharing'). Keep present tense 'can' for possibility.
× Yes, I like visit umm Tokyo Tower.
✓ Yes, I'd like to visit Tokyo Tower.
The original lacks the infinitival 'to' after 'like' when expressing a desire in this context. 'I like visit' is ungrammatical. Use 'I'd like to visit' for polite/desirable future action. Alternatively 'I like visiting' would express general enjoyment.
× Umm Tokyo Tower was built when I was in elementary school and I have visited there for over 10 times.
✓ Tokyo Tower was built when I was in elementary school, and I have visited it more than ten times.
'Visited there' is awkward; use 'visited it' or 'been there.' 'For over 10 times' is incorrect; say 'more than ten times.' The present perfect 'have visited' is appropriate for experiences up to now.
× Therefore it's very good price for me to, uh, pray.
✓ Therefore it has special meaning for me.
The original is unclear and contains wrong words: 'good price' and 'pray' are incorrect in context. Likely intended 'special meaning' or 'a good memory.' Replace with a phrase that fits emotional significance. Also remove filler words.
× I don't want to live in a tall building umm because I was raised in a single story house and in addition although my friends live in a tall building I found find it a bit dangerous for me to when I there is an earthquake so.
✓ I don't want to live in a tall building because I was raised in a single-storey house, and although my friends live in tall buildings, I find it a bit dangerous if there is an earthquake.
Multiple tense and structure errors: 'was raised' is past (correct), but 'I found find it' is wrong — use present 'I find it' to state current opinion. 'A tall building' vs plural 'tall buildings' should be consistent; use plural when referring generally. 'To when I there is an earthquake' is mangled; correct structure: 'if there is an earthquake.' Also use commas to separate clauses and 'single-storey' spelling.
