Examiner

Do you want to live in a tall building?

Candidate

Good job! - Your answer communicates your preference clearly: you prefer not to live in a tall building and would rather have your own house with a garden. - You attempt to give reasons (wanting a loft/own house, having a garden to plant flowers or vegetables), which is good for coherence and task response. Improvement suggestions: - Make the answer more concise and better organized: state your main idea, give one or two clear reasons, and add a short example or detail. - Fix grammar and word choice errors (avoid double negatives and unclear phrasing). - Use more varied vocabulary (e.g., prefer, apartment vs. house, cultivate, grow vegetables) and linkers (because, so, for example). - Try to produce 2–3 complete sentences rather than fragmented phrases or filler sounds (uh). Improved example: No, I wouldn't want to live in a tall building. I prefer to have my own house, perhaps a loft, because I would like a garden where I can grow flowers and vegetables for myself.

Part 1

Are there tall buildings near your home?

Score: 58.0

Suggestion: Be more grammatically accurate, concise and organized. Start with a clear topic sentence (Yes/No + brief reason), then add one specific detail. Avoid fillers and incorrect word forms (use 'many tall buildings', 'opposite', 'financial district'). Use linking words for coherence.

Example: Yes, there are many tall buildings near my home because I live in Haidu beside the river. For example, Guangzhou Tower and several office towers and shopping complexes are visible from my window.

Do you take photos of buildings?

Score: 72.0

Suggestion: Keep the answer natural and concise: state your main point, give one or two clear reasons with specific details, and avoid fillers. Correct grammar (e.g., 'photos of buildings', 'modern cities', 'take pictures of them'). Use a linking word like 'because' or 'so' to connect ideas.

Example: Yes, I often take photos of buildings because I study urban design. For instance, I photograph façades and structural details in modern city centres to use as references for my projects.

Is there a building that you would like to visit?

Score: 64.0

Suggestion: Make your response clearer and more fluent: give a direct topic sentence (name the building or type), then explain why with one specific reason and an example. Fix awkward phrasing (use 'rare' instead of 'seldom to see', 'I can only see them online').

Example: I would like to visit the historic churches in the UK, especially Gothic cathedrals, because such architecture is rare in China. For example, seeing the intricate stonework and stained glass of a cathedral in person would be very inspiring for my studies.

Grammar

There be issue

× Yes, there's much tall buildings near my home because I live in Haidu and I just live off to see the river and my opposite side is Guangzhou tower.

Yes, there are many tall buildings near my home because I live in Haidu and I live facing the river; opposite me is the Guangzhou Tower.

The sentence uses 'there's' (there is) with the plural noun 'buildings' and 'much' instead of 'many'. This is a 'There be' issue and also singular/plural and quantifier misuse. Use 'there are' for plural and 'many' with countable nouns. Also simplify awkward phrases: 'I just live off to see the river' is unclear and changed to 'I live facing the river'; 'my opposite side is Guangzhou tower' corrected to 'opposite me is the Guangzhou Tower'. Suggestion: Use 'there are' + plural noun, 'many' with countable nouns, and clear prepositional phrases for location.

Incorrect use of plural/singular (Singular and plural issue)

× You mean that there's a financial places there around many uh, Disney buildings, So they are very.

You mean that there are financial institutions and many Disney-themed buildings around, so they are very prominent.

The original mixes singular 'there's' with plural 'places' and uses informal filler and incomplete clause. This is a singular/plural and sentence structure problem. Use 'there are' for plural and replace vague 'places' with 'financial institutions' if intended. Complete the final clause: 'so they are very prominent' or another adjective. Suggest avoiding fillers and finishing the thought.

Singular and plural issue

× Well, I take a lot of photos of building because my major is urban design.

Well, I take a lot of photos of buildings because my major is urban design.

'Building' should be plural 'buildings' because 'a lot of' requires a plural countable noun. This is a singular/plural issue. Suggest: 'a lot of photos of buildings' or 'a lot of photos of a building' if referring to a specific one.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× So I have to go through many, uh, modern city to just take out a photo of the structure and the decoration of the buildings.

So I have to visit many modern cities to take photos of the buildings' structures and decorations.

The phrase 'go through' and 'take out a photo' are incorrect here; 'visit' and 'take photos' are idiomatic. Use plural 'cities' with 'many'. Also use possessive 'buildings' structures' and 'decorations' for clarity. This is an incorrect preposition/verb choice and noun form issue. Suggest using 'visit' and 'take photos of'.

Incorrect use of articles and noun forms (Article errors)

× So it's kind of my life to take picture of them.

So it's kind of my life to take pictures of them.

Use plural 'pictures' and include the article if singular ('a picture'). This is an article/noun form error. Suggest: 'It's kind of my life to take pictures of them' or 'Taking pictures of them is part of my life.'

There be issue

× Well, I really want to go to the UK to see the church there and that's the most part I want to go to and visit because it's seldom to see such buildings in China and it's hard for me to go abroad to see.

Well, I really want to go to the UK to see the churches there; that's the place I most want to visit because such buildings are rare in China and it's hard for me to travel abroad to see them.

'the church' should be plural 'churches' if referring generally, and 'that's the most part I want to go to' is ungrammatical. 'It's seldom to see' is incorrect; use 'are rare' or 'it's rare to see'. This combines 'There be' and sentence structure issues. Suggest restructuring: state destination, reason, and contrast clearly.

Modal verb usage

× I only can see online, so I want to see them.

I can only see them online, so I want to see them in person.

Position of 'only' is incorrect; place it before the verb or object for proper emphasis. Also clarify contrast 'in person'. This is a modal verb/word order issue. Suggest 'I can only see them online'.
