Building— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be concise and avoid repetition. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one specific detail using a linking word. For example, mention how many or where they are located and how they affect you.

Ví dụ: Yes, there are many tall buildings near my home. For example, several apartment towers line the main street, so I can see them from my balcony and they block the evening sun.

Gợi ý: Answer directly and naturally without addressing the examiner as ‘Sir’ or using confusing pronouns. Give one clear reason and a brief example using a linking word to support your answer.

Ví dụ: Yes, I enjoy taking photos of buildings because I like their architecture. For instance, I often photograph old facades when I walk around the city to capture interesting details.

Gợi ý: Provide a direct answer and then add a specific reason why you want to visit, using a linking word to connect ideas. Mention one distinctive feature or what you hope to see.

Ví dụ: Yes, I would like to visit Borg Cairo because it has famous historical architecture. For example, I want to see its ornate decorations and learn more about its history.

Gợi ý: Give a brief direct answer and then explain a specific reason with a linking phrase. Avoid repeating the same words; use synonyms and give one concrete benefit of living in a tall building.

Ví dụ: Yes, I would like to live in a tall building because I enjoy the views from high floors. For example, living on a high level would allow me to see the city skyline each morning and feel more private.

× Yes, there there are many tall buildings near my home.

✓ Yes, there are many tall buildings near my home.

The sentence contains an accidental repeated word 'there' causing a sentence structure error (close to Grammar Problem Type 26: Sentence structure errors). Remove the extra 'there' to make the sentence grammatically correct and fluent. Suggestion: read your answer aloud to catch repeated words and pause briefly between clauses.

× Yes Sir, you do. Of course, I like taking photos of my buildings.

✓ Yes, Sir. I do. Of course, I like taking photos of buildings.

The phrase 'you do' is the wrong pronoun reference for the student's answer; the student should refer to themselves with 'I do' (Grammar Problem Type 12: Incorrect use of pronouns). Also 'my buildings' implies ownership of the buildings; unless the student owns them, use 'buildings' or 'buildings in my area'. Split into two short sentences and use 'I' for clarity. Suggestion: use the correct subject pronoun that matches who is speaking and avoid assuming ownership unless intended.

× Yes, there is a building. The name of this building is Borg Cairo. I want to visit.

✓ Yes, there is a building I would like to visit. It is called Borg Cairo.

The original replies are short, disjointed sentences that are grammatically acceptable but can be improved for natural spoken English (Grammar Problem Type 26: Sentence structure errors). Combining ideas into one sentence and using 'would like to visit' matches the question's conditional/intent. Use 'called' for naming buildings. Suggestion: combine related ideas and use 'would like' to express desire politely.

× Yes I do. I want to live in a tall building because I love tall buildings.

✓ Yes, I would. I want to live in a tall building because I love them.

Repeating 'tall building(s)' is redundant; also 'Yes I do' answers a present habitual question but 'Do you want' is better answered with 'Yes, I would' or 'Yes, I do' — 'Yes, I would' is more natural for hypothetical preference (Grammar Problem Type 26: Sentence structure errors). Replace the repeated noun with the pronoun 'them' to avoid repetition. Suggestion: vary wording and use pronouns to prevent repetition and choose the modal form that fits hypothetical preferences ('would' for conditional).
