Score: 55.0

Suggestion: 文法と数の一致、語順を直し、簡潔で自然な表現にすること。具体的には冠詞の使用(a/the)、単数・複数(building/buildings)、および比較表現の明確化を練習してください。また話を短くまとめるため、主題文→補足の順で最大3文程度に収める癖をつけましょう。

Example: There are a few tall buildings near my house; the tallest is about 20 meters high. However, my neighborhood is mainly residential, so there are fewer tall buildings than in busy areas like Shinjuku.

Do you take photos of buildings?

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: 時制の一貫性と語の自然さに注意してください。普段の習慣は現在形(I take photos/I usually take photos)、過去の出来事は過去形(I found/I took)を使う練習をしましょう。さらに“unique”は程度を強調しやすいので、具体的な特徴を一文で付け加えると説得力が増します。

Example: Yes, I often take photos of interesting buildings. For example, last week I was working on the street when I found a striking building surrounded by many trees, so I took several photos of it.

Suggestion: 文法(冠詞、語順)、語彙の正確さ、そして理由説明の明確化が必要です。“Tokyo Skytree”の前に冠詞は不要が自然ですが、理由を説明する際は“because”の後に自然な表現(entrance fee/it is expensive/it is costly)を用いて完結した文にしてください。不要な句や切れた文を避け、文を2〜3文にまとめましょう。

Example: Yes, I would like to visit Tokyo Skytree because it is the tallest structure in Japan at 634 meters. I haven't been there yet because the entrance fee and observation costs are quite expensive.

Do you want to live in a tall building?

Score: 55.0

Suggestion: 自然な否定表現と理由の提示を練習してください。“too tough to reach”は不自然なので“too inconvenient”や“too tiring”など適切な形容詞を使い、比較例は簡潔に述べましょう。現在の住居の説明は短く、結論で締めることを意識して文を2〜3文にまとめてください。

Example: No, I wouldn't like to live in a tall building because it would be too inconvenient and tiring to get to my apartment every day. For example, I currently live on the second floor, so it's easy to access and I rarely feel tired.

Grammar

Singular and plural issue

× Near my house there are few tall building, it is 20m high.

Near my house there are a few tall buildings; the tallest is 20 m high.

The noun 'building' should be plural because 'few' (or 'a few') refers to more than one. Also punctuation and sentence structure need fixing: use a semicolon or separate sentences and clarify which building is 20 m high. Use 'a few' for a small number (positive) or 'few' to emphasize scarcity. Additionally, add 'the' before 'tallest' to specify which one is 20 m.

Singular and plural issue

× However, my area is a residential area so there are not more buildings than in the city area like Shinjuku.

However, my area is a residential area, so there are fewer buildings than in city areas like Shinjuku.

Use 'fewer' with countable nouns (buildings) rather than 'not more'. Also 'city area' should be pluralized to 'city areas' when referring to examples like Shinjuku, and add a comma before 'so' for clarity.

Modal verb usage

× Yes, when I see a unique building I will take a photo.

Yes, when I see a unique building, I take a photo.

For habitual actions, use the present simple ('I take') rather than 'will'. 'Will' implies future intention; here the speaker describes a regular habit. Add a comma after the subordinate time clause.

Past tense issue

× For example, last week I worked in the street and I found a very unique building surrounded by many trees, so I took photos of that building.

For example, last week I was working in the street and I found a very unique building surrounded by many trees, so I took photos of it.

Use the past continuous 'was working' to describe an activity in progress when another action occurred. 'That building' can be replaced with the pronoun 'it' to sound natural. Also keep past tense consistent.

Incorrect use of the definite article

× Yes, there is. I would like to visit a Tokyo Skytree because this building is the highest building in Japan.

Yes, there is. I would like to visit the Tokyo Skytree because it is the tallest building in Japan.

Use the definite article 'the' with unique landmarks like Tokyo Skytree. Also 'tallest' is the superlative form for 'the highest building', and using 'it' avoids repetition.

Modal verb usage

× I have not been there because it costs to hike very much and.

I have not been there because it costs too much to go, and...

'Costs to hike very much' is unnatural. Use 'costs too much' to express expense, and 'to go' or 'to visit' instead of 'to hike' unless referring specifically to hiking. The sentence was incomplete; finish with an idea or use ellipsis appropriately.

Modal verb usage

× I would not like to live in a tall building because it is too tough to reach my apartment every day.

I would not like to live in a tall building because it would be too difficult to reach my apartment every day.

Use 'would be' to match the conditional 'I would not like', and 'difficult' is a more natural adjective than 'tough' in this context.

Singular and plural issue

× For example, I am living in the second floor of the building, so it is easy to reach my apartment and I am not tired or.

For example, I live on the second floor of the building, so it is easy to reach my apartment and I am not tired.

Use 'live' (simple present) for a permanent situation rather than 'am living'. Use the preposition 'on' with floors ('on the second floor'). Remove the trailing 'or' and keep the sentence concise.
