Building— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Make the response more natural and grammatically accurate, start with a direct topic sentence, and avoid redundancy. Use linking words and correct singular/plural and verb agreement. Add one brief reason or additional detail.

Ejemplo: No, there aren’t any tall buildings near my home. The closest cluster of high-rises is about a 30-minute bus ride away, or only 15 minutes by car, which I usually take when I need to visit the city centre.

Sugerencia: Give a clear topic sentence, fix grammar (word order and tense), and use linking words to connect ideas. Be specific about what makes a building photo-worthy and give a short example.

Ejemplo: Yes, I do take photos of buildings, especially ones that are unique or unusual. For example, I often photograph old colonial buildings or modern skyscrapers because their architecture is distinctive and I don’t see designs like that in my town.

Sugerencia: Start with a direct answer, correct small errors (family is singular/collective), and add a reason or detail to enrich the response. Use a linking phrase to explain why it's special.

Ejemplo: Yes, I would like to visit the Eiffel Tower in Paris someday. I hope to go with my family because it’s an iconic landmark and I’d love to enjoy the view from the top and take photos together.

Sugerencia: Provide a concise topic sentence, correct conditional and phrasing, and add a brief supporting reason with a linking word. Be specific about the fear and give a possible alternative to show balance.

Ejemplo: No, I wouldn’t want to live in a tall building. I’m worried that in an emergency like an earthquake or flood it could be hard to evacuate quickly, so I prefer a low-rise home where exits are easier to reach.

× At home, no there aren't.

✓ At home, no, there aren't any.

The sentence uses 'there aren't' but omits the expected postverbal quantifier for countable items. Adding 'any' completes the 'there be' structure for negative statements about existence and sounds natural.

× The nearest tall buildings here in my area is a 30 minute bus ride or if you use a private car it would only take you 15 minutes.

✓ The nearest tall buildings here in my area are a 30-minute bus ride away, or if you use a private car it would only take you 15 minutes.

Subject 'The nearest tall buildings' is plural, so the verb must be 'are' (subject-verb agreement). Also '30 minute' should be hyphenated as a compound adjective '30-minute' and 'away' is needed after 'bus ride' for natural phrasing.

× Some of them, especially buildings that are unique and those that I very often not see.

✓ Some of them, especially buildings that are unique and ones I don't often see.

The original sentence has incorrect word order and a double negative structure 'very often not see'. Changing to 'ones I don't often see' fixes sentence structure and places negation correctly.

× So those things I take photos of.

✓ So I take photos of those buildings.

The original word order is awkward. Moving the subject 'I' before the verb and specifying 'those buildings' clarifies meaning and produces a natural English sentence structure.

× I'd like to visit the Eiffel Tower in Paris someday, hopefully with my friends or even with my families.

✓ I'd like to visit the Eiffel Tower in Paris someday, hopefully with my friends or even with my family.

'Families' is incorrect here because the speaker likely means their own family (singular). Use 'my family' as the correct quantifier/pronoun for a single family unit.

× It's one of my dreams to bring my family to my travels.

✓ It's one of my dreams to take my family on my travels.

The verb-preposition combination 'bring ... to my travels' is incorrect. Use 'take ... on' to indicate accompanying someone during travels; 'on my travels' is the correct prepositional phrase.

× I have this fear in mind that if there's a calamity like earthquakes or floods and if I live in a tall building, I won't be able to find the exit.

✓ I have a fear that if there's a calamity like an earthquake or a flood and I live in a tall building, I won't be able to find an exit.

Use 'a fear' rather than 'this fear in mind' for natural phrasing. Also use singular count nouns 'an earthquake'/'a flood' or plural consistently; choose articles before singular count nouns ('an exit') and avoid duplicating conditional 'if'.
