Ejemplo: Yes, I often take photos of buildings, especially at night. The lighting on the facades is very attractive, so I like to capture the contrast between lights and shadows, for instance when I walk along the riverfront in the evenings.

× I am currently renting an apartment within Pioneer St. Mandaluyong and within the vicinity there are corporate buildings for Accenture where I used to work and it's a good location because everything is accessible.
✓ I am currently renting an apartment on Pioneer St., Mandaluyong, and in the vicinity there are corporate buildings for Accenture where I used to work; it's a good location because everything is accessible.
Errors: incorrect preposition 'within' used for a street/address and punctuation/connector issues. Use 'on' for streets and 'in the vicinity' (or 'nearby') for location. Also add commas and a semicolon to separate clauses for clarity. Suggestion: use 'on Pioneer St., Mandaluyong' and 'in the vicinity' and split long sentences into clearer clauses.

× Yes, I take photos of buildings, especially at night because the lightings are very pleasing to the eyes and it gives a sense of hope.
✓ Yes, I take photos of buildings, especially at night, because the lighting is very pleasing to the eye and it gives a sense of hope.
Errors: 'lightings' is not correct in this context; 'lighting' is an uncountable noun. 'to the eyes' is awkward; use the singular idiom 'to the eye'. Keep subject-verb agreement: 'lighting ... gives' works because 'lighting' is singular. Suggestion: use uncountable noun 'lighting' and the idiomatic 'to the eye'. Grammar problem type ID:1
× I would like to go back to Taipei 101 and experience the highest building in Taiwan.
✓ I would like to go back to Taipei 101 and visit the tallest building in Taiwan.
Errors: 'experience the highest building' is unnatural; use 'visit' and 'tallest' as the proper adjective form for comparison. 'Highest' and 'tallest' can both be superlatives, but 'tallest building' is the common collocation. Suggestion: use 'visit the tallest building' for natural phrasing. Grammar problem type ID:26
× However, I wasn't able to visit the view.
✓ However, I wasn't able to visit the observation deck to see the view.
Error: 'visit the view' is ungrammatical because 'view' is not a place to visit; you visit a place that offers a view. Clarify by specifying 'observation deck' or 'viewing platform' or say 'I wasn't able to see the view.' Suggestion: use 'see the view' or 'visit the observation deck.' Grammar problem type ID:12
× I am already living in a tall building. I am renting a condo unit on the 16th floor. I feel safer living in the mid floors.
✓ I already live in a tall building. I'm renting a condo unit on the 16th floor. I feel safer living on the middle floors.
Improvements: 'I am already living' is acceptable but 'I already live' is more natural. 'Mid floors' is incorrect; use 'middle floors' or 'on the middle floors' and preposition 'on' for floors. Also contract 'I am' to 'I'm' if spoken. Suggestion: use 'middle floors' and 'on' for location. Grammar problem type ID:6
× What's good about living in the in the condominium is it's safer the there are security personnel.
✓ What's good about living in the condominium is that it's safer because there are security personnel.
Errors: duplicated 'in the', missing conjunction 'that' after 'is', incorrect 'the there are', and unclear comparison. Use 'because' to show reason and include 'that' for a noun clause: 'is that it's safer because there are security personnel.' Suggestion: remove duplicate words and use 'that' and 'because' for clarity. Grammar problem type ID:22
