Building— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Your answer is relevant and gives a clear contrast between tall and low-rise buildings, but it has minor grammar and word-choice issues and is slightly long. Make the topic sentence more concise and fix small errors (e.g., say “low-rise” and “this gives the area”). Use one linking phrase to connect ideas and keep it within 2–3 sentences.

예시: Yes — there are many tall buildings near my home because I live in the capital city. However, there are also some low-rise houses and narrow residential streets, so the area is a mix of modern and traditional architecture.

제안: The idea is clear but the answer has several grammar errors, unclear phrases, and redundancy. Use a concise topic sentence, then add a specific reason with correct vocabulary. Replace unclear words (e.g., “lights of the stretcher”) with precise expressions like “interesting lighting” or “unique design.” Limit to 2–3 sentences and use a linking word such as “because” or “so”.

예시: Yes, I often photograph buildings when I travel because I enjoy capturing unique designs and interesting lighting. For example, I like taking pictures of façades at sunset because the warm light highlights architectural details.

제안: Your answer names a building, but it is repetitive and contains awkward phrasing. Start with a clear topic sentence naming the building, then give one or two specific reasons (history, architecture, location). Avoid repeating “because” and unnecessary filler like “it's a pleasure to me to talk about this.”

예시: Yes — I would like to visit the Cathedral of Maputo because it is a historic landmark with beautiful Gothic-style architecture. Also, its central location makes it easy to explore other parts of the city nearby.

제안: Your answer expresses a clear opinion but uses informal and vague language (“not funny,” “more pleasure”). Use natural phrases like “I wouldn't like to” and give a concise, specific reason (privacy, space, family time). Use a linking word such as “because” and keep to 2–3 sentences.

예시: No, I wouldn't like to live in a tall building because I prefer more privacy and a larger outdoor space for my family. Living in a low-rise house feels more peaceful and makes it easier to spend quality time with relatives.

× However, there are also some low rise houses and smaller residential streets nearby, which gives their area a mix of modern and traditional buildings.

✓ However, there are also some low-rise houses and smaller residential streets nearby, which give the area a mix of modern and traditional buildings.

The relative clause refers to 'low-rise houses and smaller residential streets' (plural), so the verb should be 'give' not 'gives' (subject-verb agreement). Also, 'their area' is unclear because the speaker is referring to the local area; use 'the area'. Hyphenate 'low-rise'. Use plural verb forms to match plural subjects and keep pronouns specific.

× Yes, I do when I'm traveling and like catch or figure out a building that is different because of the lights of the stretcher.

✓ Yes, I do when I'm traveling and like to catch or notice a building that is different because of the lights on the street.

After 'like' when expressing preference, use the infinitive 'to catch' or the gerund 'catching', but 'like to catch' is natural here. 'Figure out' is incorrect for noticing; use 'notice'. 'Stretcher' is a wrong word; 'street' is correct. Use 'lights on the street'. Choose correct verb forms after 'like' and use correct vocabulary.

× So that yeah, I took some photos because the view, the landscapes inspired me to do this.

✓ So yes, I take photos because the view and the landscape inspire me to do this.

Context is habitual (Do you take photos?), so present simple is required: 'take' and 'inspire'. Using past 'took' and 'inspired' incorrectly shifts tense. Also replace 'landscapes' with singular 'landscape' or 'the landscapes'—here 'the view and the landscape' is clearer. Match tense to the question about habitual actions.

× Yes, of course. It's a pleasure to me to talk about this because I would like to visit the Cathedral of Maputo, because it's any building that I would really like to visit because it's a church and it's in the middle of the city.

✓ Yes, of course. It's a pleasure for me to talk about this because I would like to visit the Cathedral of Maputo; it is a building I would really like to visit because it is a church and it is in the middle of the city.

Use 'a pleasure for me' not 'to me'. 'Any building' is incorrect here; use 'a building' or 'the kind of building'. Avoid repeating 'because' unnecessarily; combine clauses for clarity. Use 'it is' instead of contractions for formal clarity if desired. Correct preposition with 'pleasure' and remove erroneous 'any'.

× No, I don't, because I find it not funny.

✓ No, I don't, because I don't find it enjoyable.

'Not funny' is an odd collocation for disliking living in a tall building; 'enjoyable' or 'appealing' fits better. Also use 'I don't find it...' to form a natural negative. Choose appropriate adjectives to convey meaning.

× And I think that when you are in a tall building you have to interact with a lot of people, for example in the apartments in the city, but when you are in your home you have more pleasure to be with your family.

✓ And I think that when you live in a tall building you have to interact with a lot of people, for example in apartment buildings in the city, but when you are at home you enjoy being with your family more.

Use 'live in' rather than 'are in' for residence. 'Apartments in the city' is better as 'apartment buildings' or 'in apartment blocks'. 'More pleasure to be with your family' is ungrammatical; use 'enjoy being with your family more'. Maintain natural collocations and correct verb forms. Use appropriate verbs for living and natural phrases for enjoyment.
