Building— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and correct grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence, correct subject-verb agreement, and reduce repetition. Add one specific detail about how this affects you to enrich the answer. Use a linking word to connect clauses (e.g., "but" or "however").

Example: No, there aren’t any tall buildings near my home. The nearest skyscrapers are about 40 kilometres away in the new capital, Cairo, and they were completed only a few years ago. However, I rarely visit that area, so the high-rises have little impact on my daily life.

Suggestion: Organise your response: give a clear topic sentence, then one or two specific supporting details with linking words. Correct phrasing and noun forms (e.g., "historical buildings," "draw my attention"). Avoid redundant adverbs. Use vocabulary specific to architecture for higher score.

Example: Yes, I enjoy photographing buildings, especially historical ones. For example, I like capturing old mosques and palaces because their intricate carvings and ornate facades show craftsmanship that modern buildings often lack.

Suggestion: Give a direct answer naming either a specific building or a clear category, then add a brief reason with a linking word. Avoid repetition and fix grammar (e.g., "I don't have any particular one in mind"). Being specific improves coherence and content score.

Example: I don't have one specific building in mind, but I would love to visit historical sites such as the Alhambra in Spain because I am fascinated by its Islamic art and detailed tilework.

Suggestion: Provide a clear topic sentence and one or two coherent supporting reasons. Fix grammar and clarity (e.g., "a house with few neighbors"), remove hesitations, and use linking words ("because","so"). Mention a specific advantage of living in a house to strengthen content.

Example: No, I wouldn't. I prefer living in a detached house with only a few neighbours because apartment buildings feel crowded and noisy; a house offers more privacy and I also feel safer there.

× The only tall buildings we have is actually 40 kilometers away in the new capital of Kario.

✓ The only tall buildings we have are actually 40 kilometers away in the new capital of Kario.

Subject is 'The only tall buildings' (plural) so use plural form of the verb 'to be' (are). Use 'are' instead of 'is' to match plural subject. Suggestion: Identify the true subject (singular or plural) before choosing the correct form of 'be'.

× The only tall buildings we have is actually 40 kilometers away in the new capital of Kario.

✓ The only tall buildings we have are actually 40 kilometers away in the new capital of Cairo.

'Kario' is a misspelling of 'Cairo', a proper noun. Although 'spelling' is not listed exactly, treat as article/word choice correction. Suggestion: Check proper noun spellings and consult maps or reliable sources when unsure.

× And actually they are new and they are finished building only a few years ago.

✓ And actually they are new and they were finished only a few years ago.

The phrase 'finished building' is awkward and mixes present 'are' with a past completion. Use past passive 'were finished' or 'were completed' to indicate the action finished in the past. Suggestion: Use 'were finished' or 'were completed' for completed past actions: 'they were completed only a few years ago.'

× So yeah, they are not pretty far, not pretty close, just in the middle.

✓ So yeah, they are not very far, not very close, just in the middle.

'Pretty' is informal and can be used as an adverb, but 'pretty far' is acceptable in speech; however 'not pretty far' is ambiguous. 'Very' is clearer. Suggestion: Use 'very' for clarity in comparisons: 'not very far, not very close.'

× I do like to take photos of buildings when they are historical.

✓ I do like to take photos of buildings when they are historic.

'Historical' describes something related to history; 'historic' means important in history and fits buildings of interest. The problem is word choice between adjective forms; treat as verb+ing? It's a choice of adjective. Suggestion: Use 'historic' for buildings of historical significance.

× I'm not a fan of modern type of buildings unless they are really mesmerizing, really unique.

✓ I'm not a fan of modern types of buildings unless they are really mesmerizing and unique.

Use plural 'types of' when referring to kinds of buildings. Also replace the duplicated 'really' with 'and' for style. Suggestion: Use 'types of' for plural categories: 'modern types of buildings.'

× But I personally prefer historical type of building or ancient building that has a lot of design details and these are actually really draw my attention to them more.

✓ But I personally prefer historic or ancient buildings that have a lot of design details; these really draw my attention.

Multiple issues: 'historical type of building' should be 'historic or ancient buildings' (plural), verb agreement 'draw' should pair with plural 'buildings', and pronoun/structure awkwardness 'these are actually really draw my attention to them more' is redundant. Suggestion: Make subject and verb agree and remove redundant pronouns: 'these really draw my attention.'

× Any historical building, any around the world I would love to see, but I don't have anyone particular in mind right now.

✓ Any historic building around the world I would love to see, but I don't have any particular one in mind right now.

Use 'any particular one' to refer to a single building; 'anyone' refers to people. Also reorder for clarity: 'any historic building around the world.' Suggestion: Use 'one' for singular inanimate objects and 'anyone' only for people.

× I'm just interested in general in historical things, historical places or buildings.

✓ I'm just generally interested in historic things, places, or buildings.

Better word order 'just generally interested' and use 'historic' for items of historical importance. Also streamline repetition. Suggestion: Place adverb before main verb and avoid repeating 'historical'.

× So any anything around the world that would have this quality I would be interested.

✓ So any place around the world that has this quality I would be interested in.

Remove redundant 'any anything', use proper relative clause order, and add preposition 'in' after 'interested'. Suggestion: Use 'interested in' and avoid double words like 'any anything.'

× No, I would rather live in a house that only have me, not a lot of neighbors, around 2 business tended to be crowded, tend to have a lot of people and I'm a person who love a quiet place and a calm one and uh, I don't like to be involved or be seen but a lot of people, especially in the place where I live.

✓ No, I would rather live in a house that only has me, not a lot of neighbors. Businesses tend to be crowded and tend to have a lot of people, and I'm a person who loves a quiet, calm place. I don't like to be involved with or seen by a lot of people, especially in the place where I live.

Multiple errors: subject-verb agreement 'house that only have me' should be 'has'; 'around 2 business' is unclear — intended meaning likely 'businesses tend to be crowded' so pluralize and rephrase; verb 'love' needs third-person singular 'loves'; 'involved or be seen but a lot of people' should be 'involved with or seen by a lot of people.' Suggestion: Break long sentence into shorter ones, ensure subject-verb agreement, pluralize nouns when needed, and use correct prepositions ('involved with', 'seen by').
