Building— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Make the response more natural and concise. Start with a direct topic sentence, avoid redundant phrases (e.g., “city like a province”), and add one specific supporting detail using a linking word. Keep it to no more than 3–4 short sentences.

Example: No, there aren’t any tall buildings near my home. I live in a quieter part of the city that feels more like a small town, so most buildings are low-rise. As a result, the views are mostly houses and small shops rather than skyscrapers.

Suggestion: Give a clearer topic sentence and add a specific reason or example. Correct small grammar errors (“in the town” or “when I’m in town”) and use a linking word to expand briefly. Keep it natural and concise.

Example: Yes, I often take photos of buildings when I’m in town. For example, I like capturing old colonial facades because they have interesting details and history, so I usually take a few shots whenever I walk around the city center.

Suggestion: Respond directly, then explain with a specific example and clearer grammar. Use linking words like “but” or “however” correctly and give one concrete instance of a building you considered visiting.

Example: Not a specific building, but I do get inspired by places I see on social media. For instance, last month I saw photos of an old botanical library online and immediately looked up how to get there because the architecture looked fascinating.

Suggestion: Begin with a clear topic sentence stating your preference, then give specific reasons and use linking words (“because” is fine) but avoid informal words like “stuffs.” Mention one concrete consequence and keep sentences concise.

Example: No, I wouldn’t want to live in a tall building because it would be crowded and inconvenient. For example, every time I needed groceries I would have to wait for the elevator or climb many flights of stairs, which would be time-consuming.

× I'm currently living in a city, however I specifically live in a city like a province where in there are no tall buildings around the place where I am.

✓ I currently live in a city, but it is more like a provincial town where there are no tall buildings nearby.

Tense and sentence structure: 'I'm currently living' is grammatical but more natural as 'I currently live' for a general state. 'However' combined with 'where in there' is ungrammatical and awkward. Replace with 'but' and 'it is more like a provincial town' to clarify meaning. Use 'there are no tall buildings nearby' instead of 'around the place where I am' for natural phrasing. Suggestion: keep present simple for general facts and avoid redundant words like 'in' after 'where'.

× Yes, I take photos of buildings whenever I see at the town.

✓ Yes, I take photos of buildings whenever I see them in town.

Incorrect preposition and pronoun: 'see at the town' is incorrect. Use 'in town' for location and 'them' to refer back to 'buildings'. The corrected sentence uses the simple present to describe a habitual action and correct preposition and pronoun usage. Suggestion: use 'in town' for activities happening within a town and include appropriate object pronouns.

× There is no building that I would like to visit. However, whenever I saw a place or building randomly from the social media, I actually plan on how to go to that place.

✓ There is no specific building I would like to visit. However, whenever I see a place or building randomly on social media, I actually plan how to get there.

Tense inconsistency and preposition error: 'whenever I saw' mixes past with present reference; use present 'whenever I see' for habitual actions. 'From the social media' should be 'on social media'. 'Plan on how to go to that place' is awkward; use 'plan how to get there' for natural phrasing. Also simplify first clause to 'There is no specific building I would like to visit.' Suggestion: keep tenses consistent for habitual actions and use correct prepositions (on social media).

× I don't want to live in a tall building because there are a lot of people and it's hassle for me to go up and down.

✓ I don't want to live in a tall building because there are a lot of people and it's a hassle for me to go up and down.

Article and noun phrase: missing indefinite article before 'hassle'. Use 'it's a hassle' to make the noun phrase grammatical. The rest is present simple to express preference and is correct. Suggestion: remember to include articles before singular countable nouns.

× For example, when I want to buy groceries, I need to use the elevator or stairs just to go down and buy my stuffs.

✓ For example, when I want to buy groceries, I need to use the elevator or the stairs just to go down and buy my stuff.

Plural and article errors: 'stuffs' is nonstandard; use 'stuff' or 'groceries' as uncountable. 'The stairs' is more natural with 'the' when referring to specific stairs in a building. Keep present simple for habitual action. Suggestion: use uncountable 'stuff' for general belongings and include articles ('the elevator', 'the stairs') when referring to known facilities.
