Building— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and correct grammar: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific details. Use linking words and fix word order (e.g., "No, there aren’t any tall buildings near my home. We only have small houses, and most of them are two-storey buildings."). Avoid hesitation sounds and fragmented phrases.

Example: No, there aren’t any tall buildings near my home. Most houses here are small and only two storeys high, so the skyline is low and residential.

Suggestion: Give a direct yes/no first, then add a specific example and use correct verb forms. Use linking words like "because" or "for example" to explain when and why. Avoid filler words and tense errors.

Example: Yes, I often take photos of buildings when I visit new places. For example, when my friends took me to the old district last month, I photographed the historic facades because I liked their details.

Suggestion: Answer directly, then give a specific reason and one detail about the building. Correct the name or pronunciation if necessary and use linking words like "because" or "because of". Keep it to two or three sentences.

Example: Yes, I would like to visit the Khalifa Tower in Abu Dhabi because I’ve read that its architecture is impressive. In the future I hope to see its observation deck and panoramic views of the city.

Suggestion: Start with a clear statement, then explain reasons with one or two specific details. Use correct phrasing ("live in a tall building") and link ideas with "because" or "for example." Avoid awkward phrases like "try and experience to live."

Example: Yes, I would like to try living in a tall building because many people here live in condo units and I’m curious about the views and facilities, such as a gym or rooftop garden.

× Umm no, we have no tall buildings in my in near into my home because we have only. House Small house.

✓ Umm, no. There are no tall buildings near my home because we only have small houses.

The student mixes singular and plural and uses awkward word order. 'We have no tall buildings' is acceptable but 'in my in near into my home' is incorrect preposition and order. 'We have only. House Small house.' should be 'we only have small houses.' Use plural 'houses' to match 'we only have' and correct word order and preposition 'near my home.' Suggestions: simplify to 'There are no tall buildings near my home; we only have small houses.'

× We have a second floor only.

✓ We only have a second floor.

Word order and focus are incorrect. In English, 'only' typically comes before the element it modifies. 'We only have a second floor' correctly expresses limitation. Tense is present simple and appropriate.

× Umm yes I have uh taking put in the buildings when my friends brought me there.

✓ Umm yes, I have taken photos of buildings when my friends brought me there.

The student incorrectly uses 'have taking put in' which mixes forms. The appropriate form for an action completed relative to the present moment is present perfect 'have taken' if they mean at unspecified times. If referring to a specific past trip, simple past 'I took photos when my friends brought me there' is also correct. Use 'photos' or 'pictures' instead of vague 'put in the buildings.' Suggestion: choose tense consistent with meaning: 'I have taken photos' (experience) or 'I took photos' (specific past).

× Yes, I would like to visit a building, umm, that is in uh, Abu Dhabi, which is called is Umm Khalifa Tower.

✓ Yes, I would like to visit a building in Abu Dhabi called Umm Khalifa Tower.

Redundant 'is' and extra filler words create ungrammatical structure. 'That is in Abu Dhabi, which is called is' should be compressed to 'in Abu Dhabi called'. Use 'called' to introduce the name. Also omit unnecessary commas and fillers for clarity.

× So in the future I would like to visit there.

✓ So in the future I would like to visit it.

Use correct pronoun 'it' to refer to 'the building.' 'Visit there' is unacceptable; 'visit it' or 'visit there' can be used with 'go' as in 'go there.' Better: 'I would like to visit it in the future.'

× Yes, I want to try and experience to live a building because nowadays in my country many citizen here are living in a condo unit.

✓ Yes, I want to try and experience living in a building because nowadays many citizens in my country live in condo units.

After 'experience' use the -ing form 'living.' 'To live a building' is incorrect; correct preposition is 'in a building.' 'Many citizen' should be plural 'many citizens.' 'Are living' is present continuous but habitual action needs simple present 'live.' Also pluralize 'condo unit' to 'condo units.' Suggestion: 'I want to try living in a building because many citizens in my country live in condo units.'
