Building— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Make the answer more natural and grammatically correct: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Correct verb forms and agreement, avoid hesitation sounds (umm). For example, say where you live, describe the buildings briefly, and give a reason or opinion.

Ejemplo: Yes, there are many tall buildings near my home. I currently live in one of them, and most of the nearby buildings are quite old and in poor condition, so they don't look very attractive.

Sugerencia: Be concise and coherent: answer directly, then add a clear specific example with linking words. Avoid unclear phrases and filler words. Use past tense correctly for past events and give a short reason for your habit.

Ejemplo: Not usually — I rarely photograph buildings. However, when I travel I sometimes take pictures of notable architecture; for example, I took several photos of the Canton Tower when I visited Guangzhou last week.

Sugerencia: Give a direct response and then clarify with specific details and linking words. Instead of repeating hesitations, state your preference and explain why, mentioning a particular mall or activity to make your answer concrete.

Ejemplo: Not really — I am not interested in visiting famous buildings. Instead, I prefer visiting shopping malls because they combine restaurants and shops; for instance, I often go to the Grand Plaza mall to have dinner and shop with friends.

Sugerencia: Provide a clear topic sentence (yes or no), then give two specific reasons using linking words. Fix grammar (tenses and articles) and avoid filler words. Explain advantages or disadvantages of living in tall buildings with concrete details.

Ejemplo: Yes, I would like to continue living in a tall building because there are fewer insects and more security. Also, tall buildings usually offer better views and convenient facilities such as elevators and on-site maintenance.

× Yes, of course, I live in the tall building just now and around my house there are a lot of tall buildings.

✓ Yes, of course, I live in a tall building now and there are a lot of tall buildings around my house.

The student used 'just now' (past time) with 'live' which expresses present; this is a tense/time adverb error. Also 'the tall building' implies a specific one; 'a tall building' is more natural. Suggest using 'now' for present time and correct article use: 'I live in a tall building now and there are a lot of tall buildings around my house.'

× Umm, but they looks not good, it is too old.

✓ Umm, but they look not good; they are too old.

Subject 'they' is plural, so the verb should be 'look' (not 'looks'). Also 'it is too old' refers to plural antecedent; use 'they are too old.' Ensure plural subject matches plural verbs and pronouns.

× To be honest, I seldom take photos of buildings.

✓ To be honest, I seldom take photos of buildings.

This sentence is grammatically correct and uses present simple appropriately to express a habitual action, so no correction is needed.

× Umm, but when I go to travel I will take some tabi code 1 for example.

✓ Umm, when I travel, I will take some photos, for example.

The phrase 'go to travel' is nonstandard; use 'travel' or 'go traveling.' 'Tabi code 1' appears to be an error or irrelevant token and should be removed or replaced with 'photos.' The sentence structure is fixed by placing time expression correctly and using the correct object.

× Uh, when I went to Guangzhou last week.

✓ Uh, I went to Guangzhou last week.

The original is a sentence fragment lacking a main clause. Removing 'when' or completing the clause fixes past tense usage. 'I went to Guangzhou last week.' is a complete past-tense statement.

× No, I don't like to visit building umm.

✓ No, I don't like to visit buildings.

'Building' should be plural 'buildings' when speaking generally, or use 'a building' for a single one. Also 'visit' with plural requires plural noun. This corrects article/number usage.

× However, I uh, usually visit shopping mall.

✓ However, I usually visit shopping malls.

'Shopping mall' should be plural 'shopping malls' when speaking generally, or use an article 'a shopping mall.' Also 'I usually visit shopping malls' is the natural general statement.

× Umm, maybe they are building umm.

✓ Umm, maybe they are buildings.

'They are building' is incorrect because 'building' as a noun needs plural 'buildings' to match plural 'they.' If 'building' were a verb, meaning 'they are building,' it would need an object. Here the intended meaning is plural noun, so use 'buildings.'

× I often go to shopping mall to have dinner.

✓ I often go to the shopping mall to have dinner.

Use the definite article 'the' with 'shopping mall' when referring to a specific or habitual place: 'go to the shopping mall.' Alternatively 'go to shopping malls' for general habit. Articles must match count nouns.

× I would say yes, umm, I live in tall building now there were seldom umm peers, mosquitoes, but umm, I live in small houses umm, like uh.

✓ I would say yes. I live in a tall building now; there are seldom peers or mosquitoes. Previously, I lived in small houses.

This sentence contains multiple issues: tense inconsistency ('I live now' vs 'there were'), subject-verb agreement, and unclear noun choices. 'There were seldom peers, mosquitoes' is incorrect; use 'there are seldom peers or mosquitoes' for present. To contrast past and present, use 'Previously, I lived in small houses.' Modal 'would' introducing opinion is fine. Break into clear sentences and correct tense and conjunctions.
