Building— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Speak more fluently by removing fillers (uh) and make the response more concise. Begin with a clear topic sentence, then give one specific supporting detail and, if needed, a contrast. Use linking words like 'however' to connect ideas.

Example: Not really. Most buildings near my home are only four or five storeys. However, if I go to other parts of Kolkata, there are several high-rise towers of 13 or 14 floors.

Suggestion: Improve grammar and clarity: use correct collocations (e.g., 'I am fond of' or 'I like') and correct article/noun forms. Provide one clear example and a brief reason. Remove hesitations and fix the unclear phrase about the pool 'that bridge 2 buildings'.

Example: Yes, I enjoy photographing skyscrapers. For example, I often photograph the Atmosphere building near Salt Lake because its design is striking and the rooftop pool that connects two towers makes an interesting composition.

Suggestion: Be precise with vocabulary (e.g., 'obsolete' is not correct for statues; use 'rare' or 'depict species that are now endangered'). Start with a direct answer and add a specific reason why you want to visit, using linking words such as 'because' or 'for example'.

Example: Yes, I would like to visit the Indian Museum because it is historic and houses many exhibits. For example, it displays statues and specimens of animals that are now endangered, which I find fascinating.

Suggestion: Avoid repetition and tighten the response. Give one clear reason why you prefer tall buildings and support it with a specific example. Use correct grammar ('many buildings' instead of 'a lots') and linking words like 'because' or 'so'.

Example: Yes, I would. I prefer tall buildings because they offer unobstructed views of the skyline. For instance, living on a high floor would allow me to see the city and the sky clearly, unlike my current low-rise neighbourhood surrounded by other small buildings.

× No, not much.

✓ No, not many.

'Much' is used with uncountable nouns; the speaker refers to countable 'tall buildings' so 'many' is correct. Use 'not many' when referring to a small number of countable items.

× In my locality, there are mostly buildings, uh, which consist of uh, four to five storeys maximum.

✓ In my locality, most buildings consist of four to five storeys at most.

Word order and choice: 'mostly buildings' is awkward; 'most buildings' is correct. 'Maximum' after the noun is unnatural here; 'at most' follows the number. Also remove filler words. Maintain plural agreement with 'buildings'.

× But uh, away from my locality, uh, there are many places in Kolkata which have high rise buildings of almost 13 to 14 floors and also skies.

✓ But away from my locality, there are many places in Kolkata with high-rise buildings of about 13 to 14 floors and tall skylines.

Sentence had awkward phrasing: 'high rise' should be hyphenated as 'high-rise' when used as adjective; 'of almost 13 to 14 floors' is redundant—use 'about 13 to 14 floors'. 'Also skies' is unclear; 'tall skylines' or 'skyscrapers' fits. Improved word order and clearer nouns.

× Yes, I am a fond of, uh, skyscraper buildings, for example, atmosphere which is located, uh, near Salt Lake in Kolkata.

✓ Yes, I am fond of skyscrapers; for example, Atmosphere, which is located near Salt Lake in Kolkata.

Remove the article 'a' before 'fond of' ('fond of' does not take 'a'). 'Skyscraper buildings' is wordy—use 'skyscrapers'. Proper nouns like 'Atmosphere' should be capitalized and set off with commas. Remove filler words.

× I like to take picture of its aesthetic view and also uh, the swimming pool that bridge 2 buildings of.

✓ I like to take pictures of its aesthetic view and also of the swimming pool that bridges the two buildings.

'Take picture' should be plural 'take pictures' or 'take a picture'. Preposition 'of' needed after 'also'. 'That bridge 2 buildings of' is incorrect word order: 'the swimming pool that bridges the two buildings' uses correct verb 'bridges' and article 'the' and spells out 'two'.

× I would like to visit uh Indian Museum which is an old building.

✓ I would like to visit the Indian Museum, which is an old building.

Use definite article 'the' with 'Indian Museum' when referring to a specific museum. Add a comma before the nonrestrictive clause.

× It contains uh, different statues which are obsolete nowadays, like statues of different animals which have got endangered.

✓ It contains many statues that are from earlier periods and some depict animals that are now endangered.

'Different statues which are obsolete' is awkward: statues are not 'obsolete'; instead say 'from earlier periods'. 'Have got endangered' is incorrect; use 'are endangered' or 'are now endangered'. Use 'many' for quantity and correct relative clauses ('that' for defining, 'which' for non-defining).

× I love that view without any obstruction, like the view that tall buildings provide.

✓ I love that unobstructed view, like the view that tall buildings provide.

The original is mostly acceptable but 'without any obstruction' is wordy; 'unobstructed view' is concise. No third-person singular error here; this suggestion improves clarity while preserving grammar.

× But in case of small buildings that I mostly live in, it cannot provide a view of the sky because a lots of buildings around it.

✓ But in the case of the small buildings I usually live in, they cannot provide a view of the sky because there are a lot of buildings around them.

Problems: 'in case of' should be 'in the case of' or 'with'; 'that I mostly live in' -> 'I usually live in'; subject agreement: 'it cannot' should be 'they cannot' because 'buildings' is plural. 'a lots of' is incorrect; use 'a lot of' or 'lots of'. Include 'there are' for existence and use correct pronoun 'them' for plural antecedent.

× That's why I prefer to be at a tall building.

✓ That's why I prefer to live in a tall building.

The verb 'be at' is incorrect for residence; use 'live in' for living inside a building. Maintain natural collocation and tense appropriate to stated preference.
