Building— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more concise and confident. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid fillers and uncertain phrases ("Maybe, I guess"). Use one or two supporting details and a linking word. Also correct minor grammar: say "I live on a main road in Chengdu" and "my building has more than 30 floors."

Ví dụ: Yes — I live on a main road in Chengdu, and there are many high-rise buildings around. In fact, my building has over 30 floors, so tall buildings dominate the neighbourhood.

Gợi ý: Give a direct answer first (Yes/No/It depends), then explain briefly with coherent linking words. Avoid hesitations and fragmented sentences; use correct tense and word order ("when I go on a trip"). Provide a specific example of what you photograph.

Ví dụ: It depends. I usually don't photograph buildings at home, unless the architecture is interesting; but when I travel, I always take photos of iconic buildings and local landmarks, for example the historic temple in Xi'an.

Gợi ý: Answer directly and expand with one clear reason using linking words. Avoid unclear phrases like "big red city." Use accurate vocabulary ("modern cities") and correct grammar ("I am not interested in architecture").

Ví dụ: No, I wouldn't. I'm not very interested in architecture, and I prefer quieter places; modern cities tend to be crowded and noisy, which makes me feel uncomfortable.

Gợi ý: Provide a clear topic sentence (Yes/No/Mostly no) and then give two specific reasons with linking words (e.g., "because", "however"). Fix grammar: "I don't really want to" and "even though I live in a tall building now." Avoid redundancy like "which you know."

Ví dụ: I don't really want to. Even though I currently live in a tall building, I prefer low-rise buildings because the environment is calmer and less crowded; however, they are often more expensive, so I stay in a high-rise for budget reasons.

× Actually I'm living in a main road in Chengdu and there are so many high buildings around my apartment and to be honest, my apartment, it has more than 30 floors in total.

✓ Actually I live on a main road in Chengdu, and there are many tall buildings around my apartment. To be honest, my apartment has more than 30 floors in total.

The student used the present continuous 'I'm living' incorrectly for a permanent situation; use simple present 'I live'. 'In a main road' is wrong preposition and article use; say 'on a main road'. 'So many high buildings' is wordy; 'many tall buildings' is more natural. Remove the redundant comma and pronoun in 'my apartment, it has' and use 'my apartment has'. Suggestions: use simple present for habitual or permanent facts; use 'on' with 'road'; avoid redundant pronouns.

× Well, Nope, actually I should know. Interested in architectural style.

✓ Well, nope. Actually, I don't know. I'm not interested in architectural style.

Fragments: 'Interested in architectural style' lacks a clear subject and verb; use 'I'm not interested'. 'I should know' is incorrect here; likely intended 'I don't know'. Suggestions: ensure sentences have subject + verb; use 'I'm not interested' to express lack of interest.

× But when things come to, you know, every time I'm go on a trip, I would always take photos from the beginning to the end, you know, some iconic buildings or local landmark.

✓ But when it comes to trips, every time I go on a trip, I always take photos from start to finish of iconic buildings or local landmarks.

'When things come to' is ungrammatical; correct expression is 'when it comes to'. 'I'm go on a trip' mixes present continuous and base verb; correct is 'I go on a trip' or 'I go on trips'. 'Would always' is modal misuse; simple present 'always' is appropriate for habitual action. 'Local landmark' should be plural 'local landmarks'. Suggestions: use 'when it comes to', use simple present for habitual actions, match noun plurality.

× No, like I said before, I show no interest in architectural style and I don't like big red city and modern city because it's so crowded and so noisy a lot of people around me it makes me feel uncomfortable.

✓ No, like I said before, I have no interest in architectural style and I don't like big, modern cities because they are so crowded and noisy; so many people around make me feel uncomfortable.

'I show no interest' is grammatical but unnatural; 'I have no interest' is better. 'Big red city' is incorrect adjective choice; likely meant 'big, modern cities'. Subject-verb agreement and pronoun reference: 'it's so crowded and so noisy a lot of people around me it makes me feel uncomfortable' is a run-on and has mismatched subjects; use 'they are' for cities and 'so many people around make me feel uncomfortable'. Suggestions: use 'have no interest', pluralize 'cities', ensure subjects match verbs, break long sentence into clearer clauses.

× Will not really even I'm living a tall building right now.

✓ Not really. I'm already living in a tall building right now.

The original 'Will not really' attempts future negation but context requires present statement; use 'Not really'. 'I'm living a tall building' misses preposition; correct 'living in a tall building'. Suggestions: use 'Not really' to respond briefly; use 'living in' for residence.

× That's because I don't have chores.

✓ That's not the reason; I don't have many chores here.

The sentence is ambiguous: 'That's because I don't have chores' doesn't clearly connect to previous idea. It likely aims to explain why living in a tall building isn't desirable, but meaning is unclear. Also 'chores' may be irrelevant. Clarify and add quantifier 'many' if intended. Suggestions: state the reason clearly and use appropriate quantifiers.

× If I have to rent an apartment in a short building, which you know the environment would be better, but it's a little bit out of my budget and the tall building is crowded.

✓ If I had to rent an apartment in a low-rise building, the environment would be better, but it would be a bit out of my budget, and tall buildings are crowded.

The conditional is mismatched: use second conditional 'If I had to...' for hypothetical. 'Short building' is unnatural; use 'low-rise building'. The relative clause 'which you know the environment would be better' is ungrammatical; rephrase to 'the environment would be better'. Maintain consistent tense in the conditional clauses. Suggestions: use correct conditional forms, choose natural adjectives, and simplify clause structure.

× Every time I take the elevator I have to be wait for a long time.

✓ Every time I take the elevator, I have to wait for a long time.

'Have to be wait' incorrectly inserts 'be' before base verb; correct structure is 'have to wait'. Suggestions: after 'have to' use base verb without 'be'; include comma after introductory clause.
