Building— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Make the answer more natural and concise. Start with a direct topic sentence, correct grammar (use present simple), avoid filler words, and give one specific supporting detail. Use linking phrase to add contrast if needed.

Ví dụ: No, there aren’t any tall buildings near my home. I live in the countryside, so the area is mostly made up of single‑storey houses and small farms, which makes the neighbourhood feel quiet and spacious.

Gợi ý: Give a clear direct answer first, then explain with specific examples. Avoid awkward phrasing and repetition; use linking words like "because" or "but" to connect ideas. Keep within 3–4 sentences.

Ví dụ: Sometimes. I usually take photos of traditional or historic buildings because their details and decorations are interesting. But I rarely photograph ordinary modern skyscrapers unless they have a unique design or a great viewpoint.

Gợi ý: Be concise and avoid repeating the same idea. Use one sentence to name the building and another to explain why, with specific details about what you want to see or do. Correct collocations (e.g. “from a tourist perspective” or “as a tourist”).

Ví dụ: Yes. I would like to visit Landmark 81 in Ho Chi Minh City because it is the tallest skyscraper in Vietnam. As a tourist I want to go to the observation deck to enjoy panoramic views of the city and take photos at sunset.

Gợi ý: Start with a direct and confident topic sentence, then contrast present preference with future change using linking words like "however" and give specific reasons for both positions. Use concise language and avoid hesitations.

Ví dụ: Yes, I would like to live in a tall building now because it offers modern amenities and easy access to shops and public transport. However, in the future I would prefer a house with a garden and more space for peace and comfort.

× Uh actually no. I am living in the countryside now so it's just helps various horizontal house around my house instead of any skyscrapers or tall buildings.

✓ Uh actually no. I live in the countryside now, so there are only various low houses around my home instead of skyscrapers or tall buildings.

Original errors: incorrect progressive present 'I am living' (use simple present for current residence), incorrect use of 'helps' and 'horizontal house' which are ungrammatical, article and noun number issues. 'There are' is needed to state existence of plural houses. Use 'low houses' or 'single-story houses' rather than 'horizontal house'. Suggestion: use simple present for states (I live), use 'there is/are' for existence, match plural nouns with plural verbs, and choose correct adjectives for description.

× Actually it depends mostly on the type of building, except for example when seeing any traditional buildings, I definitely take photos to capture that scenery.

✓ Actually, it mostly depends on the type of building; for example, when I see traditional buildings, I definitely take photos to capture the scenery.

Errors: unclear subject and gerund phrase 'when seeing any traditional buildings' lacks subject; 'except for example' is redundant/incorrect. Use 'when I see' to include the subject and correct verb form. 'Capture that scenery' is awkward; 'capture the scenery' is natural. Suggestion: include the subject before verbs and avoid redundant connectors.

× However for the normal ones or any normal skyscrapers, I just glanced at it and seeing it instead of.

✓ However, for ordinary buildings or typical skyscrapers, I just glance at them rather than taking photos.

Errors: tense and form mismatch ('glanced' past vs present context), incorrect pronoun agreement ('it' for plural), incomplete clause 'seeing it instead of' is unfinished. Use simple present 'glance' to match habitual action, plural pronoun 'them', and complete contrast 'rather than taking photos'. Suggestion: keep consistent tense for habitual actions and complete comparative phrases.

× I would like to visit Landmark 81 in Ho Chi Minh City because I've never been there and it's one of the tallest skyscrapers in Vietnam.

✓ I would like to visit Landmark 81 in Ho Chi Minh City because I have never been there, and it is one of the tallest skyscrapers in Vietnam.

Main issue was minor: contraction and tense are acceptable but ensure clarity by using 'I have never been there' fully expanded and consistent 'it is'. This is primarily a style/tense clarity issue. Suggestion: use full forms in formal responses and keep present perfect for experience up to now.

× I'm eager to see the views and enjoy the spectacular views of the city in a tourist attitude.

✓ I'm eager to see and enjoy the spectacular views of the city as a tourist.

Problems: redundant repetition 'see the views and enjoy the spectacular views', awkward phrase 'in a tourist attitude'. Combine verbs and remove repetition, and use 'as a tourist' to express perspective. Suggestion: avoid redundant phrases and use natural expressions like 'as a tourist'.

× MMM to some extent yes. Tall buildings suit my generation because they offer modern amenities and easy access to shops and public transport which is very convenient.

✓ To some extent, yes. Tall buildings suit my generation because they offer modern amenities and easy access to shops and public transport, which is very convenient.

Original 'MMM' is nonverbal filler not needed. Main issue was punctuation and sentence flow; modal usage is acceptable but needed commas. 'Which' clause should be set off with a comma. Suggestion: remove fillers and use punctuation to clarify clauses.

× However, as I get older I would prefer a house with more space and garden for peace and comfort.

✓ However, as I get older I would prefer a house with more space and a garden for peace and comfort.

Missing article before 'garden' — use 'a garden'. Also keep conditional 'would prefer' is acceptable to express future preference. Suggestion: include articles before singular countable nouns and maintain consistent conditional phrasing.
