Building— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and add one specific detail or personal reaction. Use one linking phrase to connect ideas and keep within 3–4 sentences. Avoid repeating general words like 'people' without detail.

Example: Yes, there are several tall buildings near my home, including shopping malls and modern office blocks. For example, a new mall with glass façades opened last year and attracts many visitors in the evenings. As a result, the area feels lively and urban, especially when the lights come on.

Suggestion: Good structure and a clear example. Improve by using a linking word to show purpose and vary vocabulary (e.g., 'photograph'/'capture', 'features' instead of 'details'). Keep it to 2–3 sentences.

Example: Yes, I often photograph buildings when I travel because I want to record historic architecture and landmarks. For example, in Beijing I captured many shots of the Palace Museum to preserve its ornate features and impressive courtyards.

Suggestion: There are several grammar errors and unclear facts. Fix subject-verb forms, use clearer linking words, and correct historical references. Limit to 3–4 sentences: state the building, give specific reasons, and one brief supporting detail. Avoid inaccurate or confusing claims.

Example: Yes, I would like to visit the Spanish Museum because I admire its traditional architecture and beautiful courtyards. I am also interested in its history, as the museum displays artefacts from several important periods. Visiting would be both enjoyable and educational.

Suggestion: Reduce repetition and correct grammar (verb agreement). Use one or two concise supporting details linked logically. Avoid filler phrases like 'you know' in formal test answers.

Example: Yes, I would like to live in a tall building because it would overlook the sea and help me relax. For instance, watching the sunset from my balcony would feel peaceful and help me unwind after a busy day.

× For example, when I visited Beijing, I captured many shots of Palace Museum to remember its ornate details and impressive courtyards.

✓ For example, when I visited Beijing, I captured many shots of the Palace Museum to remember its ornate details and impressive courtyards.

Error type: article error (Grammar Problem Type ID: 22). 'Palace Museum' as a specific museum requires the definite article 'the' in this context. Use 'the Palace Museum' to refer to that particular institution. Improve by using 'the' before named singular institutions when speaking about a specific place.

× Yes, I like to visit Spanish Museum because of these impressive courtyards and traditional architecture which I am really interested in.

✓ Yes, I would like to visit the Spanish Museum because of its impressive courtyards and traditional architecture, which I am really interested in.

Error types: article error (ID 22) and sentence structure/word choice (ID 26). 'Spanish Museum' needs the definite article 'the' and sounds better as 'the Spanish Museum.' 'These impressive courtyards' should be 'its impressive courtyards' to refer to the museum. Also 'Yes, I like to visit' is unnatural for a specific wish; 'I would like to visit' fits the question about a building they'd like to visit. Improve by adding 'the', replacing 'these' with 'its', and using 'would like' for preference.

× Besides, I really interested in its history.

✓ Besides, I am really interested in its history.

Error type: present tense / sentence without auxiliary (Grammar Problem Type ID: 6 and 23). The student omitted the auxiliary verb 'am' required for the adjective 'interested' in the present tense. Use 'I am really interested' to form a correct present-tense statement. Improve by including the appropriate form of 'to be' before 'interested'.

× The museum has witnessed the changes of many Chinese Di dynasty, so I think it's very educational.

✓ The museum has witnessed the changes of many Chinese dynasties, so I think it's very educational.

Error types: singular/plural issue and incorrect noun form (Grammar Problem Type ID: 1) and article/name usage (ID 22). 'Di dynasty' is unclear and likely incorrect; use 'dynasties' plural to match 'many'. If referring to a specific dynasty named 'Di', it should be 'the Di dynasty', but 'many' requires plural. Improve by pluralizing to 'dynasties' or specifying the correct dynasty name with 'the'.

× Yes, I like to live in a tall building because it will overlook the sea, which makes me feel close to nature and help me relax.

✓ Yes, I would like to live in a tall building because it would overlook the sea, which would make me feel close to nature and help me relax.

Error types: modal verb usage (ID 4) and verb form consistency (ID 6). For a hypothetical preference about living in a tall building, use 'would like' and conditional 'would' rather than simple future 'will'. Also keep verb forms consistent: 'would make' and 'help' should be coordinated; better to use 'would make... and help' or 'would make... and would help'. Improve by using conditional 'would' for hypothetical situations and matching verb forms.

× You know, watching sunset from my balcony is really peaceful and warm, which help me, which helps me forget about stress.

✓ You know, watching the sunset from my balcony is really peaceful and warm, which helps me forget about stress.

Error types: article error (ID 22) and subject-verb agreement/redundant phrase (ID 27). 'Watching sunset' needs the definite article 'the'. The clause 'which help me, which helps me' is redundant and has subject-verb disagreement; 'which helps me' is correct for singular 'watching the sunset'. Improve by adding 'the', removing redundancy, and ensuring verb agrees with the singular noun phrase ('helps').

× Yes, I often take photos of buildings when I travel to another city because I like to record historic architecture and landmarks.

✓ Yes, I often take photos of buildings when I travel to another city because I like to record historic architecture and landmarks.
