Building— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more concise, correct grammar mistakes, and provide one clear supporting detail. Begin with a direct topic sentence, fix subject-verb agreement, and avoid repetition.

Ví dụ: Yes. There are many tall buildings near my home because I live in Hong Kong, where land is limited so most residential blocks are high-rises.

Gợi ý: Organize your answer with a clear topic sentence and a linked reason or example. Avoid short unclear sentences and pronoun ambiguity. Use linking words to contrast Hong Kong and places you visit.

Ví dụ: Not often. I rarely photograph buildings in Hong Kong, but when I travel I take many photos because the architecture abroad is lower and more rural, which I find more interesting.

Gợi ý: Start with a clear topic sentence naming the building, correct vocabulary and phrasing, and give one concise reason. Remove filler words and correct word choices (e.g., rooftop, 'rooftopping', 'face the building').

Ví dụ: Yes. I would like to visit the Empire State Building in New York because I watched videos of people on its roof and I think the views and architecture are impressive, although I wouldn't attempt dangerous stunts there.

Gợi ý: Give a clear direct answer, correct grammar (plural/singular, articles), and provide a specific reason. Avoid unclear phrases like 'acid evident'—replace with concrete concerns (e.g., safety, lack of space).

Ví dụ: No. After living in high-rise flats for 24 years, I prefer a shorter European-style building because it feels more spacious and safer to me, whereas Hong Kong high-rises can feel cramped and crowded.

× Yes, there are some tall buildings nearby my home because I live in a residential area in Hong Kong.

✓ Yes, there are some tall buildings near my home because I live in a residential area in Hong Kong.

Use 'near' (preposition) + noun to indicate proximity. 'Nearby' is an adverb or adjective and should not directly modify 'my home' in this structure. Use 'near my home' for correct prepositional phrase. Suggestion: say 'near my home' or 'nearby' alone as in 'There are some tall buildings nearby.'

× Hong Kong is such a small city and most of our building is are quite tall, that's why.

✓ Hong Kong is such a small city and most of our buildings are quite tall; that's why.

Subject-verb agreement and plural noun: 'most of our buildings' requires plural noun 'buildings' and plural verb 'are'. Also remove the extra 'is'. Use a semicolon or conjunction to link clauses. Suggestion: ensure noun and verb number match (singular/plural).

× I barely take photos of buildings in Hong Kong, but I do take photos of buildings when I go travel.

✓ I rarely take photos of buildings in Hong Kong, but I do take photos of buildings when I travel.

Word choice and verb usage: 'barely' often means almost never and is less natural here; 'rarely' fits better. 'Go travel' is ungrammatical; use the verb 'travel' alone. Suggestion: use 'when I travel' or 'when I go travelling.'

× I love the buildings. It's quite short and very rural I would say and different style than Hong Kong.

✓ I love the buildings. They're quite small and very rural, I would say, and in a different style than those in Hong Kong.

Pronoun and adjective agreement: 'buildings' is plural so use 'they're' not 'it's'. 'Short' describes height but 'small' is better for overall size; keep 'small' or 'low-rise'. Also clarify 'different style than Hong Kong' to 'in a different style than those in Hong Kong.' Suggestion: match pronoun number and use clearer comparative phrasing.

× Yes, I would definitely want to visit the Imperial building in the New York City.

✓ Yes, I would definitely like to visit the Imperial Building in New York City.

Article and verb choice: do not use 'the' before 'New York City'. Use 'in New York City.' Also 'would like' is more natural than 'would want' for polite desire. Capitalize proper noun 'Imperial Building.' Suggestion: say 'visit the Imperial Building in New York City.'

× Umm, because I saw someone when rooftop there.

✓ Umm, because I saw someone on the rooftop there.

Preposition error: use 'on' with 'rooftop' to indicate location. Also natural order is 'on the rooftop there.' Suggestion: 'I saw someone on the rooftop there.'

× Of course I'm not gonna do the rooftopping because I'm a bit afraid of it and I think it's it's a bit dangerous, but I think that's so cool.

✓ Of course I'm not going to do rooftopping because I'm a bit afraid of it and I think it's a bit dangerous, but I think it's really cool.

Colloquial contraction 'gonna' should be 'going to' in formal speech. Remove duplicate 'it's'. Use 'really' instead of repeated 'I think' and avoid repetition. Suggestion: use full forms in tests and avoid repeating phrases.

× I want to faces the building.

✓ I want to face the building.

Incorrect verb form: 'faces' is third person singular; after 'want to' use base form 'face.' Also 'face the building' is unusual—likely 'see the building' or 'visit the building.' Suggestion: use 'want to see/visit the building' or 'want to face' only if meaning is clear.

× After living in the tall building for 24 years, I don't want to live in a tall building if I can choose.

✓ After living in tall buildings for 24 years, I don't want to live in a tall building if I can choose.

Number consistency and article usage: 'the tall building' implies a specific building; use plural 'tall buildings' if speaking generally about experience. Also keep present tense 'don't want' for current preference. Suggestion: say 'After living in tall buildings for 24 years...' to indicate experience.

× If I can choose, I would want to live in a short buildings like the European buildings, not as same as Hong Kong because this is too small.

✓ If I could choose, I would want to live in short buildings like those in Europe, not like those in Hong Kong because Hong Kong is too crowded/small.

Several errors: 'If I can choose' should be conditional 'If I could choose' or 'If I had a choice.' 'a short buildings' mixes singular article with plural noun—remove 'a' before plural. 'Like the European buildings' is vague; use 'those in Europe.' 'Not as same as' is incorrect; use 'not like' or 'not the same as.' Suggestion: use conditional 'could' for hypothetical, match article and noun number, and use clearer comparisons.

× Sometimes I feel a little bit unsafe if there's any acid umm evident.

✓ Sometimes I feel a little bit unsafe if there is any evidence of acid attacks/exposure.

The original sentence is unclear. 'If there's any acid umm evident' is ungrammatical. Use 'evidence of acid attacks' or 'evidence of acid' depending on meaning. Also use 'there is' not contraction for clarity. Suggestion: clarify intended meaning (acid attacks, chemical hazards) and use 'evidence of' or 'signs of.'
