Score: 48.0Suggestion: Câu trả lời thiếu rõ ràng và có nhiều lỗi ngữ pháp; bắt đầu bằng một câu chủ đề rõ ràng (Yes/No). Sử dụng hai lý do hỗ trợ với liên từ phù hợp (On the one hand / On the other hand) nhưng sửa ngữ pháp và từ vựng (e.g., ‘scenic view of the city’, ‘pose a safety risk’). Giữ dưới 5 câu.
Example: No, I wouldn't want to live in a tall building. On the one hand, tall buildings offer excellent views of the city and convenient facilities. On the other hand, I worry about safety during emergencies and I prefer the space and privacy of a smaller house.
× Yeah, there are plenty of tall buildings near my house, including skyscraper and some kind of house with pretty weird structures and various, uh, stalls from all over area in the world, and I think that's especially interesting.
✓ Yeah, there are plenty of tall buildings near my house, including skyscrapers and some kinds of houses with pretty weird structures and various stalls from all areas of the world, and I think that's especially interesting.
The sentence mixes singular and plural nouns incorrectly. 'Skyscraper' should be plural 'skyscrapers' to agree with 'plenty of tall buildings'. 'Some kind of house' should be 'some kinds of houses' (or 'some kind of houses' is awkward) to indicate multiple variations. 'All over area in the world' is ungrammatical; use 'all areas of the world' for plural and correct prepositional phrase. Suggestion: make noun forms consistent (use plurals when referring to multiple items) and choose natural collocations like 'skyscrapers' and 'areas of the world'.
× Normally I don't take photos of buildings much but want to go to some new areas to travel or stay there for a vacation.
✓ Normally I don't take photos of buildings much, but I want to go to some new areas to travel or stay there for a vacation.
The sentence is missing the subject 'I' before 'want', causing a tense/subject omission. Add 'I' to maintain present tense and correct subject-verb structure. Also add a comma before 'but' for clarity. Suggestion: always include the subject when starting a new clause: 'but I want...'.
× I tend to take some photos to keep the memorable moments of in that place that I went.
✓ I tend to take some photos to keep the memorable moments of the place that I went to.
The phrase 'of in that place' is redundant and incorrect; 'of the place' is sufficient. The verb phrase 'went' requires the preposition 'to' when used with 'the place that I went to' or use 'where I went'. Suggestion: use correct prepositional form 'the place that I went to' or 'the place where I went'.
× Yeah, I would like to visit the the White House of the United States and there is the Office of the President.
✓ Yeah, I would like to visit the White House of the United States, where the Office of the President is located.
There is a duplicated article 'the the'. 'The White House' is correct with a single 'the'. The clause 'there is the Office of the President' is awkward; use a relative clause 'where the Office of the President is located' for natural expression. Suggestion: remove duplicate words and restructure sentences to avoid awkward 'there is' constructions for known locations.
× And I don't really want to visit it because it's one of the most popular buildings of all over the world.
✓ I don't really want to visit it because it's one of the most popular buildings in the world.
The phrase 'of all over the world' is ungrammatical and redundant. Use the common collocation 'in the world'. Also beginning a sentence with 'And' is informal; combine sentences or remove the conjunction. Suggestion: use 'in the world' for global comparisons and avoid redundant prepositions.
× It's actually quite impressive to me.
✓ It's actually quite impressive to me.
Sentence is grammatically correct in present tense; no change needed. Explanation: The structure and tense are appropriate to express current impression. (Included for completeness.)
× Actually, I really considered myself everyone to live in a small building.
✓ Actually, I really prefer everyone, including myself, to live in small buildings.
The original uses 'considered myself everyone', which misuses reflexive and pronoun reference. The intention seems to be expressing a preference for everyone to live in smaller buildings. 'Prefer' fits better than 'considered', and 'small buildings' should be plural to match 'everyone'. Suggestion: use clear subject and verb ('I prefer') and correct pronoun/reference structure ('everyone, including myself').
× On the one hand that I think living in tall building can provide you a really beautiful scenic of all the city they've devastated.
✓ On the one hand, I think living in a tall building can provide you with a really beautiful view of the whole city.
Several errors: missing comma after introductory phrase; 'that I think' is redundant — use 'I think'; 'a tall building' needs an article; 'provide you a really beautiful scenic' is incorrect collocation — use 'provide you with a really beautiful view'; 'of all the city they've devastated' is incorrect and unclear; likely intended 'of the whole city'. Suggestion: use natural collocations like 'provide you with a view of the whole city' and correct articles.
× On the other hand, I think it's actually posed a risk to my safety.
✓ On the other hand, I think it actually poses a risk to my safety.
The verb form 'posed' (past participle/past) mismatches present-tense 'I think'. Use present simple 'poses' to express a general truth. Also 'it's actually posed' is incorrect sequence. Suggestion: keep verb tense consistent with 'I think' and use 'poses'. (Combined with previous sentence context.)
