× Yes, uh, when I lived as a soul, there was a lot of tall building in there because Seoul is very small city, but there are lots of people in there, so they need to build that kind of building.
✓ Yes, uh, when I lived in Seoul, there were a lot of tall buildings there because Seoul is a very small city, but there are lots of people, so they need to build that kind of housing.
Errors: 'soul' is a misspelling of the proper noun 'Seoul' (not a grammar category here but corrected), 'there was a lot of tall building' mixes singular/plural and count/noncount. Use plural count noun 'buildings' and plural verb 'were' to agree with plural subject. 'in there' is unnecessary; 'there' or nothing is better. Also 'a very small city' needs article 'a'. Suggestion: identify countable nouns and make subject-verb number agreement; use 'a lot of' with plural count nouns as 'a lot of buildings.'
× Uh, no. I don't like to take photos of the building because I really doesn't. I really don't like the building because I am a country person, so I like country scenery.
✓ Uh, no. I don't like to take photos of buildings because I really don't. I really don't like buildings because I am a country person, so I like country scenery.
Errors: 'doesn't' is third person singular form and is incorrect with first person subject 'I'; use 'don't.' Also use plural 'buildings' for general statements. Remove repetition and keep consistent plural. Suggestion: match auxiliary verb form to subject ('I' takes 'do not') and use plural nouns for general preferences.
× MMM, Especially I like to see 63 building in Seoul, because the 63 building is the highest building in Seoul, especially in East Asia, So when I have time to visit there.
✓ Mm, especially I would like to see the 63 Building in Seoul, because the 63 Building is one of the tallest buildings in Seoul and in East Asia, so I will visit it when I have time.
Errors: Use of articles and proper nouns: '63 building' should be 'the 63 Building' (capitalized and with 'the'). 'the highest building' is likely inaccurate; safer to say 'one of the tallest' if factually unsure. Sentence fragment 'So when I have time to visit there' lacks main verb; corrected to 'so I will visit it when I have time.' Suggestion: use 'the' with named buildings and include verbs to complete sentences.
× No, I really don't want to live in a tall building because I I want to live live a a house rather than to be in like apartment because I don't think the tall building is is not a.
✓ No, I really don't want to live in a tall building because I want to live in a house rather than in an apartment; I don't think tall buildings suit me.
Errors: Repetition ('I I', 'live live', 'a a') and awkward structure 'rather than to be in like apartment' are problems. Article use: 'an apartment' needed. Ending 'is is not a.' is incomplete and ungrammatical. Suggestion: remove repeated words, use parallel structure 'live in a house rather than in an apartment,' and finish the thought concisely ('I don't think tall buildings suit me').
