× No, there are no taller building near my home because I live in rural areas.
✓ No, there are no tall buildings near my home because I live in a rural area.
The noun 'building' must be plural to agree with 'are no'; 'taller' is comparative and inappropriate without comparison, use 'tall'. Also 'rural areas' is too general; 'a rural area' or 'the countryside' is more natural. Suggestion: use plural nouns with plural verbs and use appropriate adjective degree.
× In rural areas there was no building, only a small home and a long field.
✓ In the rural area there were no buildings, only a small home and a long field.
'There was' does not agree with plural 'buildings'; use 'there were'. 'No building' is awkward; 'no buildings' is natural. Also include 'the' for 'rural area' if referring to the local area.
× Maybe sometime I take photos of building or sometime not not uh, I in last month I went to Dubai there I was there I was clipping clicking picture of Burj Khalifa.
✓ Maybe sometimes I take photos of buildings or sometimes I do not. Last month I went to Dubai and I was taking pictures of the Burj Khalifa.
Use 'sometimes' (adverb) not 'sometime'; plural 'buildings' needed. Use 'do not' for negative present simple. 'In last month' is incorrect; use 'last month'. For the continuous past action, use 'was taking pictures' and 'Burj Khalifa' needs 'the'. Avoid redundant words.
× That was world first largest building in the world.
✓ That was the world's tallest building.
Use possessive form 'the world's' and 'tallest' (superlative) rather than 'first largest'. Also include 'the' for superlative. This produces a concise, correct expression.
× Umm that I'm very interesting to go that place and click the pictures.
✓ I am very interested in going to that place and taking pictures.
'Interesting' describes nouns; use 'interested' to describe a person's feelings. Use 'interested in doing' and 'going to' plus gerund 'taking pictures' rather than 'click the pictures'.
× Yes, there's an Eiffel Tower that I want to visit because I've seen in pictures only I've never had been there.
✓ Yes, there's the Eiffel Tower that I want to visit because I have only seen it in pictures; I have never been there.
Use 'the Eiffel Tower' (definite article). 'Seen in pictures only' should be 'only seen it in pictures'. Use present perfect 'I have never been there' instead of 'I have never had been there', which is incorrect.
× I wanted I want that go to a go away with my girlfriend there.
✓ I want to go there with my girlfriend.
The sentence has redundant tense shifts and extra words. Use infinitive 'to go' and place 'there' after the verb. 'Go away with' is unnatural; 'go there with' expresses the meaning. Keep consistent present tense if desire remains.
× Absolutely yes. It was my childhood dream to live in a building.
✓ Absolutely yes. It has been my childhood dream to live in a tall building.
If the dream still holds, present perfect 'has been' is better than simple past 'was'. Add 'tall' to match the question about tall buildings and 'a building' could be 'a tall building'. If the speaker means it was only in the past and no longer, 'was' would be acceptable.
