× Yes, my neighborhood is full of tall buildings all over my house and I like the view of those buildings in front of my apartment and I like to see people who are in front of me.
✓ Yes, my neighborhood is full of tall buildings around my house, and I like the view of the buildings in front of my apartment; I also like seeing people outside.
The phrase 'all over my house' incorrectly uses 'all over' (means covering the surface). Use 'around' to indicate surrounding location. 'I like to see people who are in front of me' is wordy and slightly awkward; use 'I also like seeing people outside.' Use conjunctions and punctuation to join clauses clearly.
× Well no, I never do because I'm not into photography. I prefer doing other hobbies, taking photos of buildings. I find it a waste of time.
✓ No, I never do because I'm not into photography. I prefer other hobbies to taking photos of buildings; I find it a waste of time.
The original contains redundant and awkward phrasing 'I prefer doing other hobbies, taking photos of buildings.' Use 'prefer X to Y' structure for preferences with activities. Remove 'Well' at sentence start for clarity. Use a semicolon or separate sentence to connect related ideas.
× For example, the building of Dubai that tall 1, I don't remember its name.
✓ For example, the tall building in Dubai — I don't remember its name.
The clause 'the building of Dubai that tall 1' is ungrammatical. Use 'the tall building in Dubai' to describe a specific building. Remove extraneous 'that' and numeral '1'. Ensure noun phrase order is correct: adjective before noun and prepositional phrase 'in Dubai' to indicate location.
× And I think buildings are cool because they reflects, they reflect the modern side of cities.
✓ And I think buildings are cool because they reflect the modern side of cities.
The plural subject 'they' requires the base plural verb 'reflect', not 'reflects' (which is third-person singular). Remove the repeated phrase 'they reflects, they reflect' and keep the correct single verb.
× Like the New York buildings are so cool and have their own vibe and atmosphere, especially in those movies on TV.
✓ Like the buildings in New York are so cool and have their own vibe and atmosphere, especially in movies on TV.
'New York buildings' is acceptable but 'the buildings in New York' is clearer. Also 'those movies on TV' is wordy; 'movies on TV' suffices. No article error major, but restructuring improves naturalness. Alternatively, remove 'Like' at start or use 'For example,' to be more formal.
