Building— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Your answer addresses the question and gives details, but it is slightly long, has some grammatical errors, and one unclear phrase (“steps through that we could reach on the”). To improve: give a clear topic sentence, then one or two concise supporting details. Correct grammar (use singular/plural and prepositions) and avoid redundant phrases. Use linking words like “however” or “for example” if needed.

Ví dụ: No, there aren’t any tall buildings near my home. The only tall structure is a water tower about three kilometres from my village, which I noticed once when I passed by. However, most houses here are low-rise and surrounded by fields.

Gợi ý: Your meaning is clear but the response is somewhat unstructured and contains awkward phrasing (e.g., “during the dust and the dawn times,” “least interested in buildings”). Improve by starting with a direct topic sentence, then add one specific reason and a short example. Use more natural collocations (e.g., “at dawn,” “during dust storms”).

Ví dụ: Not really. I usually photograph the sky rather than buildings, especially at dawn or during dust storms when the colours are dramatic. For example, last week I took several photos of a pink sunrise over the fields near my village.

Gợi ý: This is a strong answer with clear reasons and enthusiasm, but some repetition (“popular and the famous”) and informal phrasing (“So I have to experience that”) weaken it slightly. Make it more concise: state the building, give two specific reasons, and finish with a short concluding sentence. Use linking words like “because” and “for example.”

Ví dụ: Yes, I would like to visit the Burj Khalifa in Dubai because of its impressive engineering and striking architecture. Also, I’d like to go to the observation deck for the panoramic views of the city and the desert. Visiting it would be an unforgettable experience.

Gợi ý: Your answer is understandable but has grammatical mistakes and unclear phrasing (“earthquakes and are so much sensitive to such buildings”). Improve by giving a clear topic sentence, then one or two specific reasons (safety, preference for a garden, etc.). Correct sentence structure and use linking words such as “because” or “also.”

Ví dụ: No, I wouldn’t want to live in a tall building. I prefer a modest house with a garden, and I’m concerned about safety during earthquakes. Also, I like the privacy and quiet of a low-rise home.

× 'I'm afraid there is not even a single one.'

✓ 'I'm afraid there isn't even a single one.'

'There is not' is grammatically acceptable but contracting to 'there isn't' is more natural in spoken English; also 'one' refers to 'building' so use contraction for fluency.'

× 'There is one building which is the main communities water tank but it is located at about 3 kilometers away from my village.'

✓ 'There is one building which is the main community water tank, but it is located about 3 kilometers away from my village.'

'Communities' should be singular possessive 'community' to match 'water tank'; remove extra 'at' before 'about' because 'located about' is correct; add a comma before 'but' for clarity.'

× 'Once I saw it when I passed through the road and it was really tall, like there were steps through that we could reach on the.'

✓ 'Once I saw it when I passed along the road; it was really tall, and there were steps leading up to it.'

'Passed through the road' is incorrect; use 'passed along the road' or 'went along the road.' The clause 'steps through that we could reach on the' is ungrammatical; correct to 'steps leading up to it.' Also split into two clauses for clarity.'

× 'Honestly, not because I prefer to take pictures of beautiful sky, particularly during the dust and the dawn times, and least interested in buildings like I may not even concentrate on one when I pass through nearby.'

✓ 'Honestly, no, because I prefer to take pictures of the beautiful sky, particularly at dusk and dawn, and I'm least interested in buildings — I may not even focus on one when I pass by.'

'Not' as a short answer is better as 'no.' 'Beautiful sky' needs the definite article 'the.' 'Dust' is likely intended as 'dusk.' Use preposition 'at dusk and dawn.' 'Least interested' requires 'I'm' (subject + verb). 'Concentrate on one when I pass through nearby' is incorrect; use 'focus on one when I pass by.' Use a dash or comma to separate ideas.'

× 'Yes, of course, I would love to visit the popular and the famous Burj Khalifa in Dubai because it's known for its construction, the architecture and having the most luxurious homes inside it.'

✓ 'Yes, of course; I would love to visit the famous Burj Khalifa in Dubai because it's known for its construction and architecture, and for having very luxurious residences inside.'

'The popular and the famous' is redundant; use 'the famous' or just 'famous.' 'The architecture' is fine but listing 'construction and architecture' pairs better without extra 'the.' 'Having the most luxurious homes inside it' is awkward; rephrase to 'for having very luxurious residences inside.' Use semicolon or comma for smoother speech.'

× 'The view that you get on top of it is just mesmerizing and fascinating.'

✓ 'The view from the top is simply mesmerizing and fascinating.'

'The view that you get on top of it' is wordy; 'the view from the top' is concise and natural. 'Just' can be replaced with 'simply' for formality.'

× 'So I have to experience that.'

✓ 'So I have to experience it.'

'That' refers to 'visiting or the view,' but 'experience it' is a clearer and more natural object; modal 'have to' is acceptable to express strong desire but 'would like to experience it' would be softer.'

× 'Of course not, I'm happy in my house like it's only of an average height.'

✓ 'Of course not; I'm happy in my house — it's only of average height.'

'It's only of an average height' is slightly awkward; remove the article 'an' before 'average height.' Keep punctuation to reflect spoken pause.'

× 'I don't think it's good to live in a tall building because earthquakes and are so much sensitive to such buildings, so I'm afraid.'

✓ 'I don't think it's good to live in a tall building because earthquakes are very dangerous for such buildings, so I'm afraid.'

'Earthquakes and are so much sensitive' is ungrammatical; 'earthquakes are very dangerous for tall buildings' or 'tall buildings are very vulnerable to earthquakes' are correct options. 'So much sensitive' is incorrect collocation; use 'very vulnerable' or 'very dangerous for.'
