Building— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Make the answer more natural and concise, use a clear topic sentence and add a brief specific detail. Avoid unnecessary words like “I have” for buildings and correct small grammar issues.

例: Yes. There are many tall buildings near my home, especially in central Bangkok, where office towers and high‑rise condos dominate the skyline.

提案: Use present simple consistently and make the reason concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give a specific example and linking word. Fix grammar (plural agreement and tense) and avoid redundancy.

例: Not usually. I don’t often photograph buildings, but if I notice an unusually beautiful or historic building, I’ll take a picture to remember its design.

提案: Begin with a direct topic sentence and then give a specific reason with linking words. Correct grammar (use ‘has’ not ‘have’), and combine short fragments into one coherent answer under five sentences.

例: Yes. I’d like to visit a century‑old building in central Bangkok because it has intricate architectural details and historical features that I find fascinating.

提案: Use a clear topic sentence and a concise reason with a linking phrase. Correct grammar (remove gerund after ‘prefer’, fix awkward phrasing). Give a specific detail about why you prefer a house.

例: No, I prefer living in a house because I value outdoor space and a neighborhood environment, rather than just an apartment room in a tall building.

× Yes, I have a lot of tall buildings around my house, especially in the middle of Bangkok.

✓ Yes, there are a lot of tall buildings around my house, especially in the middle of Bangkok.

The original sentence uses 'I have a lot of tall buildings around my house,' which is grammatically possible but sounds odd because buildings are not possessions; 'there are' is the correct existential construction to indicate the presence of many buildings near the house. Use 'there are' plus plural noun to express existence of multiple items.

× Normally I did not take a photo of buildings, but if I see a beautiful one or a special one, I will take a photo of them because it's look very beautiful.

✓ Normally I do not take photos of buildings, but if I see a beautiful or unusual one, I will take a photo of it because it looks very beautiful.

Multiple errors: 'did not take' is past tense and inconsistent with the habitual meaning—use simple present 'do not take'. 'A photo of buildings' should be pluralized consistently as 'photos' for general habit. 'Them' refers to plural but 'one' is singular, so use 'it'. 'it's look' is incorrect; the correct verb is 'it looks' (third person singular present). Also 'special one' is better as 'unusual one' but not required.

× I would like to visit the old building in the middle of Bangkok. Like the building that is around 100 years, it quite have some special details that I would love to see.

✓ I would like to visit an old building in the middle of Bangkok. For example, a building that is around 100 years old; it quite has some special details that I would love to see.

Problems: 'the old building' implies a specific known building; use 'an old building' if speaking generally. 'Around 100 years' needs 'old' after the age expression: '100 years old.' 'It quite have' is incorrect: subject 'it' requires 'has' (third person singular). Word order 'quite has' is acceptable but more natural: 'it has some special details.' Alternatively: 'it quite has' is slightly awkward; 'it has some special details' is clearer.

× I prefer to living in a house, not a tall building because I like the area around the house, not only the room that stay in the tall building.

✓ I prefer living in a house, not in a tall building, because I like the area around the house, not just the room that I would stay in in a tall building.

'Prefer to living' is incorrect: after 'prefer' use the gerund 'living' or the full infinitive 'to live.' 'Not a tall building' needs parallel preposition 'in a tall building.' 'Only' better as 'just.' 'the room that stay in the tall building' is ungrammatical: add subject 'I' and correct verb form 'would stay' or 'would live' and include preposition 'in' before 'a tall building.' Also avoid repeating 'in' awkwardly: 'the room I would stay in in a tall building' is clumsy but grammatically fixed; better rephrase if possible.
