Building— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Your answer is direct and relevant, but it has minor grammatical errors and redundancy. Be careful with noun/pronoun agreement and phrasing (e.g., say “about 20 storeys” or “about 20 storeys tall” and avoid repeating similar ideas). Add a linking phrase to provide one brief specific detail to enrich the answer.

예시: Yes, there are several tall buildings near my home. For example, a residential tower of about 20 storeys dominates the skyline, so you can see it from many parts of the neighbourhood.

제안: The idea is clear but phrasing is awkward and contains contradictions (“seldom” vs “sometimes”) and a double negative (“never almost never”). Use concise sentences and clear linking words to explain frequency and give a brief reason or example. Avoid conflicting adverbs.

예시: I seldom take photos of buildings because I’m not very interested in architecture. However, if a building has an unusual or striking design, I might take a few photos to remember it, although I rarely look at them later.

제안: Good content and a clear example, but grammar and word choice need polishing (“apart from my countries” is unclear; use singular/plural correctly). Be specific about what appeals to you and use linking words to connect ideas smoothly.

예시: I don’t have a particular building in mind, but I enjoy visiting buildings in other countries with different architectural styles. For example, I’m fascinated by Gothic cathedrals because their pointed arches and stained glass reflect a distinct historical period.

제안: You answer the question and give conditions, which is good, but verb tenses and sentence forms are inconsistent (use present conditional: “if the building has”, “if my daily routine isn’t too hectic”). Use linking words (e.g., “however”, “otherwise”) correctly and be concise.

예시: It depends: if the building has good facilities and a pleasant view, and if my daily routine isn’t too hectic, I might consider living there. However, I usually prefer a low‑rise house because it’s more convenient for everyday life.

× There are about 20 stories tall and they really dominate the skyline so you can spot them from the neighborhood easily.

✓ They are about 20 stories tall and really dominate the skyline, so you can spot them easily from the neighborhood.

The original sentence begins with 'There are' which is typically used to introduce existence, but then follows with 'about 20 stories tall' describing 'they' (the buildings). This creates a mismatch in structure. Changing to 'They are' correctly uses a subject (they) with the adjective phrase 'about 20 stories tall'. Also moved 'easily' to a more natural position and added a comma for clarity. Suggestion: Start descriptive sentences with the subject (they/the buildings) followed by the verb 'are' when giving measurements or attributes.

× However, sometimes I'm still impressed by the wonderful and unique design of the building at that time.

✓ However, sometimes I'm impressed by the wonderful and unique design of a building.

The phrase 'at that time' is unnecessary and confusing here. 'I'm still impressed' is present tense; use 'I'm impressed' or 'I am still impressed' without 'at that time' to match present impressions. The original used 'the building' which implies a specific one; 'a building' is more natural if speaking generally. Suggestion: Use present simple for general impressions and avoid redundant time phrases.

× I may take some pictures, but never almost never go back to look at them afterwards.

✓ I may take some pictures, but I almost never go back to look at them afterwards.

The phrase 'never almost never' is a conflicting and incorrect quantifier sequence. 'Almost never' is the correct adverbial quantifier meaning 'rarely'. Also add the subject 'I' before 'almost never' for grammatical completeness. Suggestion: Use one quantifier phrase (e.g., 'almost never') and include the subject before the verb.

× I don't have a single certain building in my mind, but I enjoy visiting buildings with different styles apart from my countries.

✓ I don't have a single specific building in mind, but I enjoy visiting buildings with different styles from other countries.

'In my mind' is acceptable, but 'a single certain building' is awkward; 'a single specific building' is clearer. 'Apart from my countries' is incorrect: likely intended 'from other countries'. Use 'from' to indicate origin and 'other countries' if referring to places outside the speaker's country. Suggestion: Use 'specific' for clarity and 'from other countries' to express origin.

× For example, I'm interested in Gothic style because I think it represents a period of historical time.

✓ For example, I'm interested in Gothic style because I think it represents a historical period.

'A period of historical time' is wordy and awkward. 'A historical period' is the natural collocation in English. This corrects the noun phrase while keeping singular/plural appropriate. Suggestion: Use concise noun phrases like 'a historical period' instead of redundant expressions.

× It depends if the building had good facilities and a nice view.

✓ It depends on whether the building has good facilities and a nice view.

The original uses past tense 'had' which mismatches the general present-tense hypothetical context. Also 'depends if' is informal; 'depends on whether' is more grammatically correct. Use present tense 'has' to indicate current or general conditions. Suggestion: Use 'depends on whether' + present tense for conditional statements about current/future situations.

× Also my daily routine wasn't too hectic, I might consider living in a tall building.

✓ Also, if my daily routine isn't too hectic, I might consider living in a tall building.

The original mixes past tense 'wasn't' with the modal 'might' expressing a present/future possibility. Use present tense 'isn't' for current or hypothetical routine. Also add 'if' to form a conditional clause and a comma after 'Also'. Suggestion: Match tense in conditional sentences and include the conditional connector 'if'.

× However, I usually prefer low rise house because it is more convenient for me.

✓ However, I usually prefer a low-rise house because it is more convenient for me.

'Low rise house' needs a hyphenated adjective 'low-rise' and the singular count noun requires an article 'a' before it. Alternatively, use the plural 'low-rise houses' if speaking generally. Also added hyphen to form a compound adjective. Suggestion: Use correct articles with countable nouns and hyphenate compound adjectives (low-rise).
