Part 1

Are there tall buildings near your home?

Score: 40.0

Suggestion: Be direct and clear. Start with a simple topic sentence answering the question, then add one or two concise supporting details. Avoid irrelevant words and fillers, and use correct grammar (e.g., 'There aren’t many tall buildings near my home'). Use linking words like 'because' to connect reasons.

Example: No, there aren’t many tall buildings near my home. I live in a small town, so most buildings are houses or low apartment blocks with only two or three floors.

Do you take photos of buildings?

Score: 55.0

Suggestion: Provide a clear topic sentence and expand with a brief reason and an example. Correct grammar: use plural forms and gerunds ('taking photos'). Use linking words like 'because' and 'so' to make your answer coherent.

Example: No, I don’t usually take photos of buildings because I prefer taking photos of people and natural scenes. For example, I often photograph my friends at the beach or parks instead of architectural subjects.

Is there a building that you would like to visit?

Score: 35.0

Suggestion: Answer directly with a complete sentence naming the building and give one or two specific reasons using linking words. Avoid fragments and finish your thoughts. Provide details like the building’s name and what interests you about it.

Example: Yes, I would like to visit the CN Tower in Toronto because it offers amazing city views from the observation deck and it is an iconic landmark that I’ve seen in photos.

Do you want to live in a tall building?

Score: 50.0

Suggestion: Give a clear direct answer, then explain briefly with a specific reason. Use smooth linking words ('because', 'so') and avoid hesitations. Use correct expressions such as 'I am afraid of heights' or 'I prefer small houses'.

Example: No, I don’t want to live in a tall building because I am afraid of heights. I prefer small houses where I feel more comfortable and relaxed.

Grammar

Incorrect use of pronouns

× No dear, are not all weddings near my home Because I lived in a small town so must uh, OK, there are houses and low apartments. Uh, there are only two and two or three floors. Mm-hmm.

✓ No, dear. Not all buildings are near my home because I live in a small town. There are houses and low-rise apartments. They are only two or three floors high.

Multiple pronoun and sentence-structure issues: 'are not all weddings near my home' uses wrong words ('weddings' instead of 'buildings') and incorrect word order for a negative statement. 'Because I lived' uses past tense incorrectly for a present situation. 'so must uh, OK' is not grammatical. Replace with clear clauses and correct pronoun reference 'They' to refer to apartments. Suggestion: use correct nouns, present tense for current facts, and simple subject-verb order. Suggested fixes: replace wrong noun, use present tense 'I live', and use 'They' to refer back to 'houses and apartments'.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× No, I don't like photos of building because I like take photos of people on nature.

✓ No, I don't like photos of buildings because I like to take photos of people in nature.

Errors: 'photos of building' needs plural 'buildings' and is a noun phrase; 'like take' is missing the infinitive marker 'to'; 'on nature' uses incorrect preposition. Use plural for general statements, 'like to take' for preference, and 'in nature' to indicate location. Suggestion: say 'photos of buildings' and 'like to take photos of people in nature.'

There be issue

× Yes, I would like to visit that building I in Toronto. In there is the tower. Because.

✓ Yes, I would like to visit a building in Toronto. There is a tower there.

Problems: awkward word order and extraneous pronoun 'I' after 'building'. 'In there is the tower.' uses incorrect placement of 'in' and unnatural structure. Also sentence fragment 'Because.' Clarify with correct 'There is' construction and place 'there' at the end for natural English. Suggestion: use 'a building in Toronto' and 'There is a tower there.'

Incorrect use of verbs - sentence structure and tense

× No, I don't want to live in already, uh, because I'm interested in, in uh, small houses because, uh, I am very scared bit uh, of heights of building.

✓ No, I don't want to live in a tall building because I'm interested in small houses and I'm a bit scared of heights.

Errors: 'live in already' is incorrect word choice; repetition and fillers disturb sentence flow. 'scared bit uh, of heights of building' is ungrammatical—use 'a bit scared of heights'. Also use 'tall building' rather than 'heights of building'. Suggestion: remove fillers, use 'tall building', combine reasons with 'because', and say 'a bit scared of heights'.
