Building— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Reduce hesitation and repetition, use a clear topic sentence, and give specific, coherent details with proper linking words. Keep the answer to no more than 4–5 sentences and correct common grammar errors (e.g., 'in the vicinity', 'most buildings', 'some are newly constructed').

Ejemplo: Yes. There are several tall buildings near my home. For example, there are a few 10- to 12-storey apartment blocks while my building is only three storeys. Because most of the town was developed earlier, many buildings are compact, but these new towers were built in the last five years and stand out from the rest.

Sugerencia: Be more direct and fluent. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid fragmented phrases, and support your answer with specific reasons and examples using linking words like 'because' and 'so'. Fix informal or unclear expressions ('not my jam', 'Nature presents') into standard English.

Ejemplo: Not really. I prefer photographing landscapes rather than buildings because I enjoy capturing natural scenes. For example, whenever I travel on intercity roads I often take photos or short videos of mountains, rivers, and fields because the scenery changes a lot and looks impressive.

Sugerencia: Provide a concise, accurate answer and avoid repetition and hesitations. Use correct names and vocabulary (e.g., 'Pantheon' not 'Antheon', 'ancient Roman building', 'architectural engineering', 'perfect symmetry'). Give one or two specific reasons and a short example or detail.

Ejemplo: If I had to choose, I would like to visit the Pantheon in Rome because it is one of the best preserved ancient Roman buildings. I find its architecture impressive — for instance, the huge domed roof and the perfectly proportioned interior show remarkable engineering skill for that era.

Sugerencia: Make your stance clear with a direct topic sentence, reduce informal phrases, and organize reasons logically with linking words. Correct grammar (e.g., 'a two-floor house', 'an apartment block', 'because I cannot afford'), and keep it to 3–4 sentences.

Ejemplo: I would prefer not to live in a tall building long-term. I currently live in an apartment block because, as a student, I cannot afford a detached house. However, in the future I hope to buy a two-floor house of my own once I have a steady income because I want more space and privacy.

× Yes, there are some tall buildings at the vicinity of my home.

✓ Yes, there are some tall buildings in the vicinity of my home.

Use 'in the vicinity of' or 'near' rather than 'at the vicinity of'. 'Vicinity' requires the preposition 'in' (or use 'near'). Replace 'at' with 'in' for correct prepositional usage.

× the tall buildings, uh, are 10 or 12 floor buildings where my building is, uh, only three floor building.

✓ The tall buildings are 10- or 12-floor buildings, whereas my building is only a three-floor building.

Number expressions describing floors require hyphenation (10-floor) and consistent pluralization. Use 'whereas' to contrast and include the article 'a' before 'three-floor building'. Also make floor counts parallel (10- or 12-floor buildings).

× Uh, so most building in my town are rather compact.

✓ So most buildings in my town are rather compact.

'Most' should be followed by a plural noun. The original used singular 'building' incorrectly. Also subject-verb agreement requires plural 'buildings' with 'are'.

× Uh, done of uh, those of newly constructed Additionally, uh, these tall buildings are tall from my perspective, uh, which means they are definitely not comparable.

✓ Some of those are newly constructed. Additionally, these tall buildings seem very tall to me, so they are not really comparable.

Original contains fragments and unclear phrasing ('done of those of newly constructed'). Break into clear sentences and use 'some of those are newly constructed'. 'Not comparable' is vague; 'not really comparable' clarifies meaning. Ensure proper sentence boundaries and connectors.

× It's been a while, but I've done before.

✓ It's been a while, but I have taken photos before.

'I've done before' is vague and ungrammatical here. Use 'have taken photos' to match present perfect tense indicating past experience relevant now.

× Actually taking some shots or a building is not my jam.

✓ Actually, taking shots of buildings is not my thing.

Use 'of' to connect 'shots' and 'buildings' and idiomatically 'not my thing' instead of 'not my jam'. Also adjust article and pluralization.

× Rather I prefer taking photos or landscapes.

✓ Rather, I prefer taking photos of landscapes.

Use 'photos of landscapes' or 'landscape photos'. The original 'taking photos or landscapes' incorrectly uses 'or' and lacks 'of'.

× Nature presents.

✓ I prefer photographing nature.

'Nature presents' is incomplete and unnatural. Recast the idea as 'I prefer photographing nature' for clarity and correct verb usage.

× I mean for example, I almost always pick my phone up.

✓ I mean, for example, I almost always pick up my phone.

The particle 'up' should follow the verb 'pick' directly in 'pick up my phone'. Word order matters in phrasal verbs.

× And record the environments by taking photos and recording videos whenever I go through intercity roads because of the fact that.

✓ I record the surroundings by taking photos and videos whenever I travel on intercity roads.

Original is a fragment ending with 'because of the fact that' without completion. Combine into a complete sentence: 'I record the surroundings...' and use 'whenever I travel on intercity roads' for natural phrasing.

× Indeed, there are numerous buildings I like to visit, but if I had to choose one I'd say it would be Antheon because because people say it's best preserved ancient Roman building and in my opinion it's a masterpiece of action engineering.

✓ Indeed, there are numerous buildings I would like to visit, but if I had to choose one I'd say it would be the Pantheon because people say it's the best-preserved ancient Roman building, and in my opinion it's a masterpiece of ancient engineering.

Multiple issues: 'Antheon' likely intended 'Pantheon'. Use 'the Pantheon' with definite article. 'Best-preserved' needs hyphen and article 'the'. 'Masterpiece of action engineering' is incorrect; 'ancient engineering' fits context. 'Would like' is more natural than 'like' when expressing preference.

× Because, uh, from my perspective is from facet has almost, uh, missed, uh, faultless symmetry, uh, which was difficult to make in ancient times.

✓ From my perspective, its facade has almost flawless symmetry, which would have been difficult to achieve in ancient times.

Original is disjointed and contains many fillers. Correct 'facade' (spelling) and use 'has almost flawless symmetry'. Use 'would have been difficult to achieve' to express past difficulty.

× And it has two enormous.

✓ And it has two enormous columns.

Original stops at adjective 'enormous' with no noun. Provide the likely noun 'columns' to complete the sentence; otherwise it's a sentence fragment.

× Go for it, but living in a tall building is not a big deal to me if I had to live in it.

✓ I'm okay with it, but living in a tall building would not be a big deal to me if I had to live in one.

'Go for it' is conversationally odd here. Use conditional 'would not be a big deal' to match hypothetical 'if I had to live in one'. Also use 'one' for a count noun and adjust pronouns.

× Just opposite. I'd like to live in a two floor house at most and I'm living in a apartment block these days because due to the fact that I can't afford a single house as a student.

✓ On the contrary, I'd prefer to live in a two-floor house at most, and I'm living in an apartment block these days because I can't afford a single-family house as a student.

'Just opposite' is unnatural; 'on the contrary' fits. Hyphenate 'two-floor'. Use 'an apartment block' (article 'an') and 'single-family house' for clarity. Remove redundant 'due to the fact that' and simplify to 'because'.

× Indeed. However, I'd love to move in a single house that completely belongs to me after I get a decent income.

✓ However, I'd love to move into a single-family house that completely belongs to me after I earn a decent income.

Use 'move into' (phrasal verb) rather than 'move in' for changing residence; 'single-family house' is clearer than 'single house'. Use 'earn' a decent income rather than 'get' for natural collocation.
