Building— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Good direct answer and relevant supporting details. To improve, make the response slightly more concise, add one linking phrase to show contrast or cause, and include a brief specific example (e.g., a named building or street) to strengthen content and vocabulary.

Example: Yes — there are several tall buildings near my home, mainly apartment blocks and office towers. For example, the new Riverside Tower on Maple Street was built last year, and because of recent development many high-rises now dominate the skyline.

Suggestion: Clear and natural answer. To improve, combine the ideas into one fluent sentence with a linking word (e.g., 'but' or 'although'), and add a specific example of a building or style you photographed to make it more vivid and demonstrate vocabulary.

Example: Yes, occasionally — I photograph buildings if their design catches my eye, for instance an old Art Deco cinema I saw downtown, but architecture photography isn't one of my main hobbies.

Suggestion: Strong and specific answer with good reasons. To improve, tighten wording by removing unnecessary items (e.g., 'restrooms' is obvious), use a linking word to connect reasons, and add a small personal detail about what you do there to increase engagement.

Example: Yes, I'd like to visit Edmonton Falls Celadon more often because it's nearby and offers shops and entertainment; for example, I enjoy watching films at its cinema and having coffee at a café on weekends.

Suggestion: Very natural and well-structured answer with clear reasons and personal preference. To push the score higher, vary vocabulary slightly (e.g., 'prefer' alternatives), use one linking word for cohesion, and include a brief contrasting phrase about conveniences of tall buildings to show balanced perspective.

Example: Not really — although high-rise living has conveniences like security and views, I prefer a house with a garden because I can grow vegetables, get fresh air, and relax with my family, which feels much more peaceful.

Use 'architectural' (adjective) instead of 'architecture' (noun) to modify 'photography'. This is a word-choice/adjective form correction; it does not map directly to numbered types but improves grammatical correctness.

Replaced comma splice with a period and hyphenated 'high-rise'. This fixes sentence structure (avoids run-on) and applies punctuation/style improvements; not one of the numbered grammar error types but necessary for correctness.

× I love having some outdoor space where I can grow plants, enjoy fresh air and spend time with my family.
