× No, there aren't any tall buildings near by my home.
✓ No, there aren't any tall buildings near my home.
The phrase 'near by' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'near' used as one word before the noun. Use 'near my home' instead of 'near by my home'. Suggestion: Use 'near my home' or 'nearby my home' is not standard; 'near my home' is preferred.
× I live in a remote area in Hong Kong where it is far away from major metropolitan city and very often the building is relatively short because, uh, it's not necessary to build that high.
✓ I live in a remote area of Hong Kong, which is far from major metropolitan cities, and the buildings are often relatively short because it is not necessary to build that high.
Multiple issues: 'in Hong Kong where it is far away from major metropolitan city' is awkward; use 'of Hong Kong' and 'far from major metropolitan cities' (plural). Subject-verb agreement and article use: 'the building is relatively short' should be 'the buildings are relatively short'. 'Which' introduces a non-defining relative clause. Suggestion: break long sentence, ensure plural for 'cities' and match subject and verb.
× For example, uh, when I visit France, I saw there were numerous historical rich buildings included, uh, the cathedral, so I took pictures.
✓ For example, when I visited France, I saw there were numerous historically rich buildings, including the cathedral, so I took pictures.
Tense inconsistency: 'when I visit France' should be past 'when I visited France' to match 'I saw'. Adverb/adjective order: 'historically rich' or better 'historical and richly decorated' depending on meaning; 'included' is incorrect; use 'including'. Suggestion: match past tense and use 'including' to list examples.
× Yes, definitely I would like to visit the Empire State Building from New York.
✓ Yes, definitely I would like to visit the Empire State Building in New York.
Preposition 'from New York' is wrong for location; use 'in New York'. The article 'the Empire State Building' is correct. Suggestion: use 'in' to indicate location.
× I heard it is one of the most historical significant building given it is built uh, from more than 100 years and it was very tall and I can overseas uh, top.
✓ I heard it is one of the most historically significant buildings, since it was built more than 100 years ago; it was very tall and I could go to the top.
Use adverb 'historically' with 'significant' and plural 'buildings' after 'one of the'. 'Given it is built from more than 100 years' is incorrect: use 'since it was built more than 100 years ago'. 'I can overseas top' is unclear; intended 'I could go to the top'. Suggestion: use correct adverb, plural forms, past tense and clear verbs.
× I would love to living in a tall building where there are lots of people to live at.
✓ I would love to live in a tall building where many people live.
After 'would love to' use the base verb 'live', not the -ing form. 'Lots of people to live at' is ungrammatical; use 'where many people live' or 'with many residents'. Suggestion: use infinitive after 'would love to' and simplify relative clause.
× I believe when I live in a tall building that means there are lots of friendly neighbors that live in my local area as well.
✓ I believe that if I lived in a tall building, there would be many friendly neighbors living in my local area as well.
Tense and modality: original mixes present with hypothetical; use conditional 'if I lived' and 'there would be'. 'Lots of' is informal; 'many' is better in speaking tests. 'That live' -> 'living' or 'who live'. Suggestion: match conditional structure and use 'many' or 'a lot of' appropriately.
× So the, uh, transportation will be.
✓ So transportation would be convenient.
Original is incomplete and lacks a verb/complement. Clarify intended meaning: likely 'transportation would be convenient' or 'transport links would be good'. Suggestion: complete the sentence with expected complement and modal if hypothetical.
