× To be honest, I lived in a small village so in around my home.
✓ To be honest, I live in a small village, so there are not many buildings around my home.
The speaker used 'lived' (past tense) but is describing a current situation; use present simple 'live'. Also rephrase 'so in around my home' to 'so there are not many buildings around my home' for clarity. Suggestion: Use present simple for current facts and restructure the sentence: 'I live in a small village, so there are not many buildings around my home.'
× Uh, there aren't 2 buildings near my home so I rather than rather than have many trees or rivers and fields and the air, my own village is very fresh.
✓ There aren't many buildings near my home; instead, there are trees, rivers, and fields, and the air in my village is very fresh.
Using '2' is incorrect when the intended meaning is 'not many'; 'many' fits better. Also 'rather than rather than have' is repetitive and ungrammatical. Plural nouns 'trees, rivers, and fields' are required. Suggestion: Use 'many' or 'many buildings' and simpler connectors: 'instead' or 'rather than'.
× Tiburon is, I am certain, because I love capturing natural scenery like mountains, rivers and fields.
✓ I'm certain, because I love capturing natural scenery like mountains, rivers, and fields, that I prefer photographing nature rather than buildings.
Sentence lacks clear subject and verb for the intended idea; 'Tiburon is' is unclear and likely wrong. Reorder to express preference clearly: 'I'm certain that I prefer photographing nature...' Suggestion: State preference first and then reasons, ensuring subject and verb are present. Note: If 'Tiburon' was a mistake for 'I do' or similar, replace with correct phrase.
× Uh, because I feel relaxed and umm, enjoying the fresh air, uh, Besides, buildings umm make me feel uh, polluted and noisy.
✓ I feel relaxed and enjoy the fresh air. Also, buildings make me feel that the environment is polluted and noisy.
Mixing 'feel relaxed and enjoying' mixes verb forms; use parallel structure 'feel relaxed and enjoy'. 'Make me feel polluted and noisy' incorrectly attributes pollution/noise to the person; better: 'make me feel that the environment is polluted and noisy.' Suggestion: Use consistent verb forms and clear agent for 'polluted' and 'noisy'.
× So ideally.
✓ So ideally, I prefer taking photos of natural scenery rather than buildings.
Fragment without a verb or object; 'So ideally' is incomplete. Provide a full clause to complete the thought. Suggestion: Expand fragments into full sentences that state preference or conclusion.
× Yes, I want to visit Twin Towers in the future, because it is a famous place in the world and have many people to arrive and attract tourists in the world, and I want to explore it at least once.
✓ Yes, I want to visit the Twin Towers in the future because it is a famous place that attracts many people and tourists, and I want to explore it at least once.
Use 'the Twin Towers' (definite article). 'have many people to arrive and attract tourists' is ungrammatical; use 'attracts many people and tourists.' Correct subject-verb agreement: 'it attracts'. Suggestion: Use 'the' for specific buildings and 'attracts' for present facts. Grammar type also covers article error but primary fix is 'there be'/'subject-verb agreement' and article use.
× Umm, to be honest, I want to live in a house rather than two building because, uh, I think when I, I live in a house, I will umm, I feel convenient and uh, comfortable because I can, umm, enjoy my life and refreshed, uh, besides, I can, I love uh, the fresh air.
✓ To be honest, I want to live in a house rather than in a tall building because I think when I live in a house I will feel comfortable and relaxed; I can enjoy my life and the fresh air.
'Two building' probably intended 'a tall building' or 'two buildings' is wrong; 'two building' is singular/plural mismatch and article missing before 'house' and 'tall building'. Also awkward and redundant phrasing 'I will umm, I feel' and 'enjoy my life and refreshed' is incorrect form — use 'relaxed' or 'refreshed'. Suggestion: Use correct articles ('a house', 'a tall building'), correct adjectives ('tall building'), and parallel verb forms ('feel comfortable and relaxed').
