Building— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Cải thiện ngữ pháp và trật từ để câu tự nhiên hơn; tránh lỗi phát âm/thiếu mạo từ và dùng linking words để câu mạch lạc. Cụ thể: sửa các lỗi như “land is limit” → “land is limited”, dùng mạo từ (“a skyscraper”), và sắp xếp trật tự động từ cho đúng (“they are developed upward”). Ngoài ra nên thêm một câu bổ sung ngắn có linking word (for example / therefore) để giải thích nguyên nhân.

Example: I live in the city center, so there are many high-rise buildings and a skyscraper nearby. They are very common because land is limited downtown, so developers build upward to maximize space.

Suggestion: Giảm tiếng ấp úng, sửa ngữ pháp và dùng từ vựng chính xác (photos, buildings). Tránh lặp từ và cấu trúc vụng về; dùng linking words như “because” hoặc “so” một lần để kết nối ý. Cố gắng nói 2–3 câu rõ ràng: nêu quan điểm, giải thích lý do, và đưa một ví dụ ngắn nếu cần.

Example: Not really. I rarely take photos of buildings because I don't find them particularly beautiful. Since tall buildings are so common in my country, I usually prefer to photograph nature or historic sites instead.

Suggestion: Tốt về nội dung và cấu trúc nhưng có thể tự nhiên hơn bằng cách dùng linking words nhỏ (however / also) và thêm một chi tiết cụ thể hơn về lý do hoặc kỳ vọng. Cố gắng giữ tối đa 3–4 câu, tránh lặp từ (“I want to visit” và “I would like to see” có thể gộp).

Example: Yes, I'd like to visit Landmark 81 in Hanoi. Although I've lived in Hanoi for 18 years, I haven't been there yet, and I'm eager to go up to the observation deck to enjoy the panoramic view of the city.

Suggestion: Cần cải thiện ngữ pháp, diễn đạt rõ ràng lý do và dùng linking word phù hợp (because / so). Tránh ấp úng; sửa cấu trúc như “waiting for the elevator wastes my time in the morning” và giải thích hệ quả rõ ràng. Nên thêm một câu ngắn nêu giải pháp hoặc so sánh để làm phong phú nội dung.

Example: I wouldn't like to live in a tall building because waiting for the elevator in the morning wastes a lot of my time. As a result, I might be late for class or work, so I prefer a low-rise apartment where I can get in and out quickly.

× They are common because land is limit downtown and develop built upward to maximize space.

✓ They are common because land is limited downtown and development builds upward to maximize space.

Use of passive or incorrect verb forms: 'land is limit' should be 'land is limited' (past participle as adjective) and 'develop built upward' is incorrect; use 'development' or 'developers build upward'. Suggestion: use 'land is limited' and 'developers build upward' to express the idea clearly.

× Umm, not really. I don't take photo, uh, of building because I, I think it's not, uh, really a special or really beautiful in my eyes.

✓ Umm, not really. I don't take photos of buildings because I think they are not very special or beautiful in my eyes.

Plural/singular and subject-verb agreement: 'photo' and 'building' should be plural when speaking in general; 'I don't take photos of buildings'. Also pronoun agreement: refer back to plural 'they' rather than 'it'. Suggestion: use plural nouns for general statements and match pronouns accordingly.

× Uh, and the tall building is very common, popular in my country.

✓ And tall buildings are very common and popular in my country.

Adverb/adjective placement and plurality: 'the tall building is very common, popular' is awkward; use plural 'tall buildings' and connect adjectives with 'and'. Also remove unnecessary 'the'.

× So I don't like take photo of that with that.

✓ So I don't like taking photos of them.

Incorrect verb form and redundant phrase: 'don't like take' should be 'don't like taking' (verb + -ing) and 'of that with that' is redundant. Suggestion: use gerund after 'like' and refer to 'them' for buildings.

× I have lived in Hanoi for 18 years, but I haven't been there yet.

✓ I have lived in Hanoi for 18 years, but I haven't been there yet.

This sentence is correct as written: present perfect is appropriate for life experience and 'haven't been there yet' correctly indicates not having visited so far. No change needed.

× It's the tallest building in the city and I would like to see the observation deck and the view.

✓ It's the tallest building in the city and I would like to see the observation deck and the view.

Sentence is correct with singular 'building' and singular 'observation deck'; no plural error. Kept as is.

× I don't want to live in a tall building because in every morning, umm, waiting uh, the elevator is very wasting my time.

✓ I don't want to live in a tall building because every morning waiting for the elevator wastes a lot of my time.

Tense and verb form: 'is very wasting my time' is incorrect. Use simple present 'wait... wastes' to describe habitual action. Also 'in every morning' should be 'every morning' and include 'for' after 'waiting'.

× So is without in uh, I can let the class or work.

✓ So I might be late for class or work.

Unclear sentence structure: original is ungrammatical. To express possibility of lateness, use 'I might be late for class or work.' Suggestion: use modal 'might' or 'could' plus 'be late for' to convey the idea.
