× Yes there has lots of stroll building.
✓ Yes, there are lots of tall buildings.
The sentence uses incorrect verb and articles. 'Has' is wrong for existence; use 'there are' with plural noun. 'Stroll' is a wrong word; likely 'tall'. Also 'building' should be plural 'buildings'. Suggestion: use 'There are' + plural noun for existence statements about multiple items.
× Umm I live in a in the city so within the commercial area tall building is available.
✓ I live in the city, so there are tall buildings in the commercial area.
Word order and structure are incorrect. Use 'I live in the city' then connect with 'so'. For existence use 'there are' + plural noun 'tall buildings'. Place the location phrase 'in the commercial area' after the verb phrase. Remove duplicated articles 'a in the'.
× Yes, I take photos of buildings.
✓ Yes, I take photos of buildings.
This sentence is grammatically acceptable in the present simple for habitual actions. No change needed.
× Many times I'll took photos of buildings especially in sunny day when our weather is cold or uh, sky is cloudy.
✓ Many times I take photos of buildings, especially on sunny days or when the weather is cold or the sky is cloudy.
Mixed future/ past ('I'll took') is incorrect. For habitual actions use present simple 'I take'. Use plural 'days' and preposition 'on sunny days'. Use 'when the weather is cold' and 'the sky is cloudy' with definite article 'the'. Remove unnecessary contractions.
× The tomorrow took a picture of buildings.
✓ Yesterday I took pictures of buildings.
'The tomorrow' is incorrect; time reference likely meant 'yesterday' if past; use past tense 'took' and plural 'pictures' if multiple. If speaker meant 'tomorrow' they should use future: 'I will take pictures tomorrow.' Ensure time expression matches verb tense.
× Yes, Umm, umm, you have your own building.
✓ Yes, there is a building I own.
Original is confusing and uses 'you' incorrectly. If the student means their own building, use 'there is a building I own' or 'I have my own building'. Keep subject consistent.
× It's looks so gorgeous, so I like to visit it,
✓ It looks so gorgeous, so I would like to visit it.
Use 'It looks' (not 'It's looks'). For polite intention use 'I would like to visit it' or 'I want to visit it'. Also add commas appropriately.
× but uh, I don't have much time or free time because of when I visit some more space, special space that time we need to go with others like.
✓ But I don't have much free time. When I visit special places, I usually need to go with other people.
Original is run-on and unclear. Split into two sentences. Use 'free time' not 'much time or free time'. 'Some more space' is unclear; likely 'special places'. Use 'usually' for habitual necessity and 'other people' instead of 'others like'.
× Uh, yes, I want to live in the tall building.
✓ Yes, I want to live in a tall building.
Use article 'a' before 'tall building' unless referring to a specific building. Present tense 'want' is correct.
× Even currently I live in a tall building.
✓ Actually, I currently live in a tall building.
'Even currently' is unnatural. Use adverb 'currently' with subject and verb order: 'I currently live...' Or add 'Actually' for contrast.
× It's uh, have 20 floors.
✓ It has 20 floors.
'It's have' is incorrect; use 'It has' for possession. Remove contraction 'It's' before 'have'. Use simple present 'has' for third-person singular subject 'it'.
