Building— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be careful with grammar (use singular/plural and articles) and make your answer more concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, then briefly give one supporting reason or example. Avoid redundancy and fix small errors (e.g. “there aren't any tall buildings,” “I am always surprised by the heights”).

예시: No, there aren’t any tall buildings near my home because Kyoto limits building heights to preserve its traditional skyline. However, when I visit cities like Tokyo or Osaka, I’m always surprised by skyscrapers such as Tokyo Tower.

제안: Correct grammar (countable nouns, articles, plural/singular) and use clearer linking words. Give one concise reason and one concrete example instead of repeating the same idea. Replace vague phrases with specific vocabulary (e.g. “low angles,” “create a sense of height,” “architectural photography”).

예시: Yes, I enjoy photographing buildings from low angles because this technique creates a dramatic sense of height. For example, I often shoot cathedrals from the base to emphasize their scale for my personal photo collection.

제안: Be precise with names and grammar (use correct article and verb forms). Provide one clear reason with a specific detail about what interests you (e.g. design elements, architect, history). Keep it within a few sentences and use linking words like “because” or “since.”

예시: Yes, I would like to visit the Sagrada Família in Spain because its combination of Gothic and modernist elements fascinates me. Since it is still under construction, I’m eager to see Gaudí’s sculptural facades and intricate interior light in person.

제안: Avoid minor grammar errors and keep the answer natural and slightly more formal for IELTS. State one clear reason and one supporting detail about lifestyle or convenience rather than casual phrasing. Use linking words like “because” and “for example.”

예시: Yes, I would like to live in a tall building like those in Manhattan because the apartments offer spectacular views over the city. For example, I imagine hosting friends on a balcony and enjoying the skyline at sunset.

× No, there's no tall buildings near my home because I live in Kyoto and Kyoto restricts the heights of buildings.

✓ No, there are no tall buildings near my home because I live in Kyoto and Kyoto restricts the heights of buildings.

The subject 'tall buildings' is plural, so the correct form is 'there are' not 'there's' (contraction of 'there is') which is singular. Use 'there are' to agree with a plural noun. Suggestion: match 'there is/there are' to the noun number (singular/plural).

× When traveling to city like Tokyo or Osaka, I always surprise the height of buildings like Tokyo Tower.

✓ When traveling to cities like Tokyo or Osaka, I am always surprised by the height of buildings like Tokyo Tower.

Problems: 'city' should be plural 'cities' after 'to' in general reference; 'I always surprise the height' is incorrect verb use — the correct passive reflexive idea is 'I am surprised by the height.' Also use present continuous 'am always surprised' or simple present 'am always surprised' to express a recurring reaction. Suggestion: use 'surprised by' to show the feeling and pluralize 'city' when speaking generally.

× Yes, I love taking pictures of building from a low angles.

✓ Yes, I love taking pictures of buildings from low angles.

Errors: 'building' should be plural 'buildings' to match 'pictures of' variety; 'from a low angles' mixes singular article 'a' with plural 'angles' and misorders 'low angles' — correct is 'from low angles' or 'from a low angle.' Suggestion: use consistent number and omit the article when using plural 'angles.'

× This is because it makes buildings taller and bigger.

✓ This is because it makes buildings look taller and bigger.

Missing verb 'look' to indicate appearance. 'Makes buildings taller and bigger' could imply physically changing height; using 'look' clarifies perception. Suggestion: add 'look' when describing perceived change in appearance.

× Actually many calendars and magazines have this techniques and to lock the building bigger.

✓ Actually many calendars and magazines use this technique to make the buildings appear bigger.

Multiple issues: 'have this techniques' mixes singular/plural — use 'use this technique' (singular) or 'these techniques'; 'and to lock the building bigger' is ungrammatical: likely intended 'to make the buildings appear bigger.' Suggestion: replace awkward fragments with 'use this technique to make the buildings appear bigger.'

× Yes, I would like to visit Sakura Familia in Spain.

✓ Yes, I would like to visit the Sagrada Familia in Spain.

Proper noun: the famous church is 'the Sagrada Familia' (Spanish name) and typically includes the definite article 'the.' Also original name was misspelled as 'Sakura.' Suggestion: use correct proper name and include 'the.'

× It is under construction now and I'm curious about its architecture and constructions.

✓ It is under construction now and I'm curious about its architecture and construction.

'Constructions' is plural and awkward; 'construction' uncountable noun fits. 'Architecture' is fine. Suggestion: use 'construction' singular/uncountable when referring to the building process.

× I think definitely it is historical and modern.

✓ I think it is both historic and modern.

Stylistic and word choice: 'definitely' placement is awkward; 'historical' vs 'historic' distinction — 'historic' better for significance. Use 'both' to link two qualities. Suggestion: place adverbs naturally and choose 'historic' for important past value.

× I'm really looking forward to see it in person.

✓ I'm really looking forward to seeing it in person.

After phrase 'looking forward to' the verb should be in -ing form ('seeing'), not the base form 'see.' Suggestion: memorize common constructions that require -ing after prepositions and fixed phrases.

× Yes, I would like to live in a tall buildings like those in Manhattan.

✓ Yes, I would like to live in a tall building like those in Manhattan.

'A' requires a singular noun: change 'buildings' to 'building.' Alternatively remove 'a' and keep plural 'tall buildings' but meaning fits singular 'a tall building.' Suggestion: ensure article matches noun number.

× Definitely I can see spectacular views from my window and it is good time to drink wine and beer with my friends while enjoying some views.

✓ Definitely I can see spectacular views from my window and it would be a good time to drink wine and beer with my friends while enjoying the views.

Sequence and modality: 'it is good time' should be 'it would be a good time' to express conditional/future possibility when imagining living there. 'Enjoying some views' is awkward — use 'enjoying the views.' Suggestion: use conditional 'would be' for imagined scenarios and refine noun phrases.
