Building— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be concise and correct grammar. Start with a direct topic sentence, then add one specific supporting detail using a linking word. Avoid redundancies and incorrect articles (use 'a rural area' or 'the countryside').

Exemplo: No, there aren’t any tall buildings near my home because I live in a rural area. For example, most houses near me are one- or two-storey, and the older multi-storey buildings are only in the downtown which I visit on some weekends.

Sugestão: Give a direct answer, correct repetition and unclear fragments, and provide one clear reason with a linking word. Use precise vocabulary (e.g. 'natural scenes', not 'ING').

Exemplo: No, I don’t usually photograph buildings because I prefer natural scenes. For example, I like taking pictures of sunsets, mountains and peaceful landscapes since they feel more calming to me.

Sugestão: Answer directly and reduce hesitation words. Provide one specific reason why you want to visit and a brief supporting detail. Use correct phrasing like 'visit it once in my lifetime'.

Exemplo: Yes, I would love to visit the Burj Khalifa in Dubai because it is the tallest building in the world. For instance, I want to see the observation deck and experience the panoramic view of the city from such a height.

Sugestão: Provide a direct but polite refusal, avoid repetition and fillers, and give one specific reason with a linking word. Mention an alternative briefly to show contrast.

Exemplo: No, I wouldn’t want to live in a tall building because I dislike enclosed spaces and relying on lifts. Instead, I prefer living in open rural areas where I can enjoy natural views and fresh air.

× No, there is not all buildings near my home because I live in rural area and there is no tall buildings.

✓ No, there are not any tall buildings near my home because I live in a rural area.

The sentence uses 'there is' with plural 'buildings' and omits 'any' and the article 'a' before 'rural area'. Use 'there are' for plural subjects, 'any' in negative statements, and 'a' before singular countable nouns beginning with a consonant sound. Suggestion: say 'There are not any tall buildings' or 'There aren't any tall buildings' and 'a rural area'.

× There is only one or two floor story buildings or homes near my home and old buildings are far away in the downtown where I go on several weekends.

✓ There are only one- or two-story buildings or homes near my house, and the old buildings are far away in the downtown, which I visit on some weekends.

Use plural 'are' with plural subjects. 'One- or two-story' is the correct compound adjective form. Use 'house' (more natural) or keep 'home', and use the definite article 'the' with 'downtown'. Replace 'where I go on several weekends' with 'which I visit on some weekends' for natural phrasing. Also add commas for clarity.

× No, actually I'm not fond of taking photographs of buildings.

✓ No, actually I'm not fond of taking photographs of buildings.

This sentence is grammatically acceptable; no correction needed. It correctly uses the present continuous contraction 'I'm' and 'fond of' with a gerund. Keeping it unchanged is appropriate.

× I actually only like to photograph ING sunsets, landscapes, mountains and peaceful places.

✓ I actually only like to photograph sunsets, landscapes, mountains, and peaceful places.

The inserted 'ING' is erroneous. Use the base verb 'photograph' or the gerund 'photographing'. Either 'I like to photograph sunsets' or 'I like photographing sunsets' is correct. Also include a comma before the final item in the list for clarity.

× Something natural. Not I'm not least interested in man made things.

✓ I prefer something natural. I'm not at all interested in man-made things.

The fragment 'Something natural.' should be a complete sentence; 'I prefer something natural.' corrects this. 'Not I'm not least interested' is ungrammatical and contains a double negative; use 'I'm not at all interested'. Hyphenate 'man-made' as a compound adjective.

× Yes, definitely I am fond of visiting Burj Khalifa, the tallest building that is situated in Dubai.

✓ Yes, definitely I am fond of visiting the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in Dubai.

Use the definite article 'the' before well-known building names. 'Situated' is unnecessary; 'in Dubai' is more natural. The present tense 'am fond of visiting' is acceptable, but adding 'the' and simplifying improves accuracy.

× Uh, I am, I like that building.

✓ I like that building.

Remove filler 'Uh' and the redundant 'I am,' to form a concise sentence. The original has disfluent repetition; concise phrasing is clearer.

× I want to visit uh, there once in my lifetime.

✓ I want to visit it once in my lifetime.

Use the object pronoun 'it' to refer to the building, not 'there'. Remove filler 'uh'. The future intention 'want to visit' is expressed correctly; use 'it' as the direct object.

× No, never. I will never, never live in tall buildings because I don't like closed spaces, I don't like lifts, I don't like to live in, uh, closed apartments.

✓ No, never. I will never live in tall buildings because I don't like closed spaces, I don't like lifts, and I don't like living in closed apartments.

Avoid repeating 'never' unnecessarily. Use parallel structure: 'I don't like lifts, and I don't like living in closed apartments.' Use the gerund 'living' after 'like' for parallelism. Remove filler 'uh'.

× So I always prefer to live in rural areas, in open areas where I can see natural beauty as well.

✓ So I always prefer to live in rural, open areas where I can see natural beauty.

Combine 'rural' and 'open' as coordinate adjectives before 'areas'. 'Prefer to live in rural, open areas' is more concise and natural. The original 'in rural areas, in open areas' is repetitive.
