Building— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your answer is clear and relevant, but you can improve by starting with a direct topic sentence, reducing repetition, and adding one specific detail to make it more vivid. Use a linking phrase to connect ideas and avoid unnecessary clauses.

Example: Yes. The tallest building near my home is the five-storey Malayan Colleges building, where I work. From the top floor you can see the college field and the surrounding neighbourhood, which makes it stand out in our mostly low-rise area.

Suggestion: Good concise answer with relevant information. To improve, give one concrete example of a building you photographed and use a linking word to explain why you take such photos. This adds specificity and interest.

Example: Yes. I often photograph buildings when I travel; for example, I took several shots of the cathedral in Vigan last year because I liked its old stonework and grand façade.

Suggestion: Your enthusiasm is good, but the answer is slightly wordy and contains tense/wording issues. Start with a direct statement, simplify the timeframe, and add a brief reason why it's appealing. Use a linking word to connect reason and plan.

Example: Yes. I would like to visit the Burj Khalifa within the next three years because it's currently the tallest building in the world, and I want to experience the observation deck and take panoramic photos myself.

Suggestion: The main idea is clear, but the answer is slightly disorganized and contains repetition and minor grammar issues. Give a single clear preference, avoid repeating floors, and expand briefly with a linked reason and a specific example (e.g., earthquake concern or family needs).

Example: No, I prefer living in a house with a backyard or a low-rise apartment on the second or third floor because I worry about earthquake safety in the Philippines and find it easier to evacuate and access outdoor space.

× The tallest building near my house is in Malayan Colleges in Laguna.

✓ The tallest building near my house is at Malayan Colleges in Laguna.

Use of preposition 'in' with institutions or campuses is less natural than 'at' for location; this is classified under article/preposition use in this context. Change to 'at' to indicate location of the building on the campus site.

× It's where I work.

✓ It’s where I work.

No grammatical error; sentence is correct in present tense describing a current fact. No change needed. (Included to show tense correctness.)

× It has five floors and at the top you can see it overlooking our field.

✓ It has five floors and from the top you can see it overlooking our field.

Original 'at the top you can see it overlooking our field' is awkward and unclear about viewpoint. Change 'at the top' to 'from the top' to indicate vantage point. This fixes sentence structure and clarity while keeping subject-verb agreement.

× Yes, I do, especially in places that I haven't been before.

✓ Yes, I do, especially in places that I haven't been to before.

Omission of the preposition 'to' after 'been' is incorrect. Use 'been to' for visiting places. This is a present perfect construction and requires 'to' for location.

× I also like taking pictures of infrastructure that are towering over me.

✓ I also like taking pictures of infrastructure that towers over me.

The noun 'infrastructure' is an uncountable singular noun, so the relative clause should use singular verb 'towers' not 'are towering'. Use simple present 'towers' to state a general fact.

× I would like to see Burj Khalifa three years from now.

✓ I would like to see the Burj Khalifa three years from now.

Use the definite article 'the' with famous buildings like Burj Khalifa. This is an article error (ID 17/22) and affects correctness in future intention statements.

× It would be an item of my bucket list to see the tallest building in the world presently.

✓ It would be on my bucket list to see the tallest building in the world.

Phrase 'an item of my bucket list' is awkward; standard collocation is 'on my bucket list'. Also 'presently' is unnecessary and awkward here; omit it. This corrects article and collocation usage.

× I would be excited to have a photograph that I captured myself.

✓ I would be excited to have a photograph that I took myself.

Use of 'captured' is not wrong but 'took' is more natural. Also 'that I captured myself' is awkward because 'myself' is unnecessary after 'I took'. Use 'that I took myself' or 'that I captured' without 'myself'. This addresses verb choice and participle clarity.

× No, I don't want to live in a tall building.

✓ No, I don't want to live in a tall building.

Sentence is grammatically correct in present tense expressing preference. No change needed.

× I prefer to settle in a house with a backyard or something around the 3rd, 4th or 4th floor of an apartment.

✓ I prefer to settle in a house with a backyard or on around the third or fourth floor of an apartment.

Original lists floors twice and mixes 'in' vs 'on' for floors. Use 'on' for floors, use consistent numbering words ('third' 'fourth') and remove duplicate '4th'. This fixes sentence structure and preposition use.

× Primarily because of safety reasons.

✓ This is primarily for safety reasons.

Original is a sentence fragment without clear subject-verb structure. Make it a complete sentence by adding subject and verb. This corrects sentence structure error.

× As you know, the Philippines lie in the fault line.

✓ As you know, the Philippines lie on a fault line.

Use 'on a fault line' or 'along a fault line' rather than 'in'. Also use article 'a' before 'fault line' unless referring to a specific known line. This corrects preposition and article usage.
