× I live uh, in UH-12 story building, uh, and it seems to me it is the most high building.
✓ I live in a 12-story building, and it seems to me it is the tallest building.
The sentence uses incorrect articles and adjective forms. Use the indefinite article 'a' before a singular countable noun '12-story building'. Compound adjectives like '12-story' are hyphenated. 'Most high' is nonstandard; the correct superlative form is 'tallest'. Suggestion: use 'a 12-story building' and 'the tallest building' to be grammatically correct and natural.
× Oh, uh, no. I am uh, uh, Lion.
✓ Oh, no. I am a lion.
Missing indefinite article 'a' before a singular countable noun 'lion'. Singular common nouns need an article or determiner. Suggestion: add 'a' to form 'a lion' (or use 'I'm Lion' only if Lion is a name).
× Uh yeah. Uh, there are more uh, toll buildings near my house.
✓ Yeah. There are more tall buildings near my house.
Misspelling 'toll' instead of 'tall' is a word choice error. Also 'more tall' is acceptable but 'tall buildings' is sufficient; if comparing use 'taller'. Suggestion: use 'tall buildings' or 'more tall buildings' only in comparative contexts with a point of comparison.
× Uh, I guess, uh, near 20.
✓ I guess there are about 20.
'Near 20' is informal and incomplete. Use quantifier 'about' or 'around' with a verb: 'there are about 20'. Suggestion: say 'I guess there are about 20 buildings nearby.' for clarity.
× usually I take photos of buildings, uh, when I really like, uh, building and uh, when I travel and uh, uh, find it particularly interesting, beautiful and amazing.
✓ Usually I take photos of buildings when I really like a building, and when I travel and find it particularly interesting, beautiful, or amazing.
Missing article 'a' before 'building' and punctuation/connector issues. Use 'a building' as singular countable noun. Use commas and conjunctions to list adjectives. Suggestion: include 'a' and streamline the sentence: 'I take photos of a building when I find it interesting.'
× I, uh, make, uh, pictures for memory.
✓ I make pictures as memories.
'For memory' is incorrect collocation. Use 'as memories' or 'to remember' or 'for memory's sake'. Also unnecessary commas removed. Suggestion: say 'I take pictures as memories' or 'to remember the place'.
× I uh, definitely would like to visit Barcelona and uh, all this, uh, beautiful buildings, uh, like in fairy tale, uh, by, uh, this famous architecture, uh, unfortunately I don't remember, uh, his name, uh, but I know that there is a building which is, uh, still built in and.
✓ I would definitely like to visit Barcelona and all its beautiful buildings that look like something out of a fairy tale by a famous architect; unfortunately I don't remember his name, but I know there is a building that is still under construction.
Multiple issues: possessive 'its' needed instead of 'this', 'buildings' plural with determiner, awkward phrasing 'like in fairy tale' should be 'like something out of a fairy tale', 'by this famous architecture' incorrect—use 'by a famous architect', and 'still built in and' is incomplete; correct is 'still under construction'. Sentence restructured for clarity and grammar. Suggestion: simplify and use correct collocations: 'its beautiful buildings', 'by a famous architect', 'still under construction'.
× Uh, it is uh, good when you, uh, have a great sightseeing, uh, especially if you live near a lake or maybe some beautiful forest.
✓ It's nice when you have great views, especially if you live near a lake or maybe a beautiful forest.
'Have a great sightseeing' is incorrect collocation. Use 'have great views' or 'have great sightseeing opportunities'. 'Some beautiful forest' should be 'a beautiful forest' or 'some beautiful forests'. Suggestion: use 'views' or 'sightseeing' appropriately and correct article use.
× Uh, but uh, more, more I would like uh, to live in my own house, Uh, so not in a.
✓ But actually, I would prefer to live in my own house, so not in a tall building.
Sentence is fragmented and missing object after 'in a'. 'More, more' redundant. Use 'prefer' for preference. Add 'tall building' to complete thought. Suggestion: complete the sentence and remove filler words.
