Building— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be more concise and correct small grammar mistakes. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid fillers like "uh" and redundant phrases.

Exemplo: Yes. I live in the city centre, so there are several tall buildings near my house. For example, there are luxury hotels and modern office towers with rooftop terraces, which makes the area feel very busy and cosmopolitan.

Sugestão: Clarify roles and use correct noun forms. Give one clear reason and an example, and link ideas with a short connective. Reduce repetition and avoid small grammar errors.

Exemplo: Not usually. I only take photos of buildings occasionally for my sister because she is an architect. For instance, if I notice an unusual façade or an interesting roofline, I photograph it and send the picture to her for comments.

Sugestão: Answer directly and use clearer vocabulary. Instead of negative hesitations, state preference and give a reason and a brief example using linking words. Replace vague phrases with correct collocations (e.g., "interested in architecture").

Exemplo: Not really. I'm not particularly interested in architecture; I prefer visiting natural places. For example, I would rather spend a weekend hiking in the mountains than touring a famous building.

Sugestão: Be more fluent and precise. State your preference clearly, give a reason and one supporting detail, and avoid hesitations. Use natural expressions like "ground-floor" or "being at ground level" and correct minor word choices.

Exemplo: No, I wouldn't like to live in a tall building. I prefer a house with a large garden because I like being at ground level and having outdoor space to relax and grow plants.

× Yes, there are several tall buildings nearby to my house because I live in the city center and uh, it is the capital of Turkey, which is a really big city.

✓ Yes, there are several tall buildings near my house because I live in the city centre and it is the capital of Turkey, which is a really big city.

Use of preposition phrase: 'nearby to my house' is incorrect; 'near my house' or 'nearby' alone is correct. Also 'the city center' can be kept but 'the' before 'capital of Turkey' is fine; using 'uh' removed for clarity. Replace 'nearby to' with 'near' to be grammatically correct and natural.

× So, uh, there are some luxury hotels and fancy rooftops, uh, close to my house.

✓ So there are some luxury hotels and fancy rooftops close to my house.

The phrase 'close to my house' is correct; removed filler 'uh' and comma for clarity. No preposition error beyond filler; provided clearer sentence without disfluencies.

× No, I don't usually take photos of buildings, but sometimes I take them for my sister because she's an architecture.

✓ No, I don't usually take photos of buildings, but sometimes I take them for my sister because she's an architect.

'She's an architecture' is incorrect because 'architecture' is a noun for the field; the correct noun for a person is 'architect'. Use 'architect' when referring to a person.

× If I see something unique as a building, I take their photos to show my sister.

✓ If I see a unique building, I take photos of it to show my sister.

'Something unique as a building' is awkward and ungrammatical. Use 'a unique building'. 'Their photos' mismatches singular 'building' with plural possessive; use 'photos of it' or 'its photos'. This fixes pronoun reference and improves clarity.

× No, I don't have a special preparation, uh, to visit any building.

✓ No, I don't make special preparations to visit any building.

'I don't have a special preparation' is unnatural in English. Use 'make preparations' or 'a special plan'. The present simple 'make' matches habitual/general state. Removed filler 'uh'.

× I'm not kind of a architecture, uh, emphasizer.

✓ I'm not really into architecture.

'I'm not kind of a architecture, emphasizer' is ungrammatical. 'Architecture' is a field, not countable with 'a'. 'Emphasizer' is incorrect here. Use 'I'm not really into architecture' to express lack of interest.

× I prefer to go to nature.

✓ I prefer to be in nature.

'Go to nature' is not idiomatic; English speakers say 'be in nature' or 'go out into nature'. Use 'be in nature' to express preference for natural environments.

× I prefer to have an, umm, big garden.

✓ I prefer to have a big garden.

Use 'a' before words beginning with a consonant sound. 'An' is incorrect before 'big' because 'big' starts with a consonant sound /b/. Removed filler 'umm'.

× I like being on the floor.

✓ I like being on the ground floor.

'Being on the floor' is ambiguous and unnatural; if meaning the lowest level of a building, use 'the ground floor'. If meaning prefer to be on the ground rather than high up, 'I like being on the ground' could also work. Provided 'ground floor' as likely intended.

× I don't like a height.

✓ I don't like heights.

'A height' is incorrect in this context. The general dislike of being high is expressed as 'I don't like heights' or 'I don't like being high up'. Use plural noun 'heights' for general concept.

× It's not like a phobia, but still, I don't like the idea.

✓ It's not a phobia, but I still don't like the idea.

Word order and article: 'It's not like a phobia' is awkward; better 'It's not a phobia'. Also move 'still' to follow subject 'I' for natural word order: 'I still don't like the idea'.
