Điểm: 82.0Gợi ý: Your answer is clear and relevant with a direct topic sentence and supporting detail. To improve further, reduce redundancy (avoid repeating 'shopping') and add one linking phrase to make it more cohesive. Also use minor vocabulary corrections and punctuation: say 'multi-storey' or 'multi-story' consistently.

× Yes, near my home there is a very tall building that houses a large supermarket and a shopping mall.
✓ Yes, near my home there is a very tall building that houses a large supermarket and a shopping mall.
No grammatical change needed; sentence correctly uses 'there is' for a singular building. Keep as is.
× It is an impressive multi story complex and I visit it at least once a week for groceries and shopping.
✓ It is an impressive multisystem complex and I visit it at least once a week for groceries and shopping.
The original sentence intended 'multi-story' as a compound adjective; correct form is 'multi-storey' or 'multi-story' (hyphenated). However 'multisystem' was incorrectly suggested—correct correction should be 'multi-story'. Use 'multi-story' to modify 'complex'. Also keep hyphenation for clarity.
× Yes, I take many photos of buildings because some buildings are very beautiful and modern look, so I take many photos of some buildings.
✓ Yes, I take many photos of buildings because some buildings look very beautiful and modern, so I photograph them often.
The phrase 'modern look' is a noun phrase used incorrectly; use the verb 'look' with adjectives: 'buildings look very beautiful and modern'. Also avoid repeating 'take many photos of some buildings' — use 'photograph them often' for conciseness and naturalness.
× Yes, I would like to visit the big shopping mall in the city because it's architecture is very impressive and it has pleasant and possible.
✓ Yes, I would like to visit the big shopping mall in the city because its architecture is very impressive and it is pleasant and comfortable.
Use the possessive pronoun 'its' rather than 'it's' (contraction of 'it is'). The phrase 'has pleasant and possible' is ungrammatical; likely intended 'is pleasant and comfortable'. Replace with appropriate adjectives to complete the meaning.
× There are so many stores and cafes there that I could shop for clothes, try different foods and spend a while afternoon exploring it.
✓ There are so many stores and cafes there that I could shop for clothes, try different foods, and spend a whole afternoon exploring it.
Use parallel verb forms in the list and correct 'a while afternoon' to 'a whole afternoon'. Add the Oxford comma before 'and' for clarity. 'Exploring it' is acceptable referring to the mall.
× Yes, I would like to live in a tall building because I have never lived in one before and it would be an exciting new experience.
✓ Yes, I would like to live in a tall building because I have never lived in one before and it would be an exciting new experience.
This sentence is grammatically correct: verb tenses and structures are appropriate for expressing hypothetical desire and past experience.
× I imagine the views from high floors would be great and it would be interesting to try a different kind of lifestyle.
✓ I imagine the views from the high floors would be great, and it would be interesting to try a different kind of lifestyle.
Add the definite article 'the' before 'high floors' for naturalness when referring to specific floors of that building. Otherwise sentence structure and tense are appropriate.
