Building— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Correct the grammatical errors and make the response more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one specific detail and a reason using a linking word. Avoid redundancy.

Ejemplo: Yes, there are several tall buildings near my home and I can see them from my windows. They make the neighbourhood feel lively and modern, and I particularly like the way the glass facades reflect sunlight in the morning.

Sugerencia: Fix small grammar issues and tighten the answer. Begin with a direct topic sentence, then give one or two specific conditions when you would take photos, using a linking word to connect ideas.

Ejemplo: No, I don't usually take photos of buildings. However, I will sometimes photograph a building if it has a very unique style or an unusual design element that catches my eye.

Sugerencia: Make the answer clearer and fix awkward phrasing. State the specific building or type of building you mean, then give concrete reasons and use linking words to connect ideas. Avoid vague phrases like "I've heard it since."

Ejemplo: Yes — I would love to visit the central shopping arcade in the main city. I haven't been there yet, but I've heard it has impressive architecture and many boutique clothing shops, so I would go to explore both the design and the stores.

Sugerencia: Correct verb agreement and phrasing, and make the structure clearer. Start with a direct statement, then add two specific supporting reasons connected by linking words, keeping sentences concise.

Ejemplo: Yes, I would like to live in a tall building. From my current high-rise apartment I can see impressive city views and enjoy watching the skyline at sunset, and living higher up also feels quieter and more private.

× Seeing those impressive buildings always hears me up because they make the area feel lively and modern.

✓ Seeing those impressive buildings always cheers me up because they make the area feel lively and modern.

The verb phrase 'hears me up' is incorrect. The intended idiom is 'cheers me up' meaning to make someone feel happier. Use the correct verb 'cheer' in the third-person singular present 'cheers' to agree with the subject 'seeing those impressive buildings'. Suggested improvement: memorize common idioms and check subject-verb agreement for present-tense verbs.

× No, I don't usually like take photos of buildings.

✓ No, I don't usually like taking photos of buildings.

After verbs like 'like', when expressing a general preference, the verb that follows should be in the -ing (gerund) form: 'like taking'. The incorrect bare infinitive 'take' should be replaced with 'taking'. Suggested improvement: practice patterns 'like + -ing' versus 'like + to + infinitive' and choose -ing for general preferences.

× I'm not really interested in photographing architecture, although occasionally I will take pictures if a building has a very unique style or look unusual.

✓ I'm not really interested in photographing architecture, although occasionally I will take pictures if a building has a very unique style or looks unusual.

The clause 'look unusual' needs the third-person singular present form 'looks' to agree with the singular subject 'a building'. This is a subject-verb agreement / present tense error. Use 'looks' for present simple third-person singular. Suggested improvement: check verbs after singular nouns are in third-person singular form.

× Yes, there are many buildings I would like to visit, but one in the main city or center one interests me most.

✓ Yes, there are many buildings I would like to visit, but one in the main city or city center interests me most.

The phrase 'or center one' is ungrammatical and awkward. Replace with 'city center' or 'in the city center' to form a correct noun phrase. Also remove the extra 'one' after 'center'. Suggested improvement: use standard collocations like 'city center' and read the sentence aloud to spot awkward phrasing.

× I haven't had the chance to go there yet, but I've heard it since.

✓ I haven't had the chance to go there yet, but I've heard about it.

'Heard it since' is incorrect and unclear. The correct expression is 'heard about it' meaning you have heard information regarding the place. 'Since' is used with time expressions and does not fit here. Suggested improvement: learn common verb + preposition combinations such as 'hear about' and use 'since' only with time references.

× Quite unique with impressive architecture and a wide variety of shops, especially boutique clothing.

✓ It is quite unique, with impressive architecture and a wide variety of shops, especially boutique clothing stores.

The original is a fragment lacking a main verb. Adding 'It is' creates a complete sentence. Also add 'stores' after 'boutique clothing' for clarity. Fragments occur when a sentence lacks a subject or verb. Suggested improvement: ensure every sentence has at least a subject and a finite verb; combine fragments with previous sentence if appropriate.

× From my current high rise apt I can see impressive city views including many skyscrapers and I enjoy watching the skyline, especially at the sunset.

✓ From my current high-rise apartment I can see impressive city views including many skyscrapers, and I enjoy watching the skyline, especially at sunset.

Several issues: 'high rise apt' is informal and missing hyphenation; use 'high-rise apartment'. 'At the sunset' is incorrect article use — 'at sunset' is the correct idiomatic phrase without 'the'. Also add a comma before 'and' to separate clauses. Suggested improvement: use standard forms ('apartment') and common time expressions without 'the' ('at sunset'). Hyphenate compound adjectives before nouns.

× Living higher up also feel quieter and more private, which is another reason I prefer.

✓ Living higher up also feels quieter and more private, which is another reason I prefer it.

'Living higher up' is a singular gerund phrase and requires the singular verb 'feels', not 'feel'. Also the clause 'which is another reason I prefer' is incomplete—prefer what? Add 'it' to specify that you prefer living higher up. Suggested improvement: match verb number with gerund subjects and complete comparative clauses by stating the object ('prefer it').
