Building— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be direct and grammatically correct. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific details. Avoid redundant phrasing like “other houses they have.” Use linking words if adding details (e.g., “however”, “though”).

Ví dụ: No, there aren’t any tall buildings near my home. Most of the buildings are two- or three-storey houses, though there is a small apartment block about ten minutes away.

Gợi ý: Use correct verb forms and be concise. State your general habit, then give a brief reason or example using a linking word such as “because” or “often.” Keep it within 1–3 sentences.

Ví dụ: Yes, I often take photos of buildings when I travel because I like their architecture. For example, last year I photographed several colonial-style houses in my city.

Gợi ý: Answer directly and add a specific detail describing the building (appearance, location, or why it interests you). Use linking words like “because” or “for example.” Avoid vague statements such as not knowing the name without adding useful information.

Ví dụ: Yes, there is a building I’d like to visit — a glass museum by the river that I’ve seen in photos. I want to see its modern facade and the exhibits inside because it looks architecturally unique.

Gợi ý: Give a clear main opinion then support it with reasons. Use linking words like “but” and “however” correctly, and provide a specific reason for both choices (not living long-term vs short stay). Keep it concise and natural.

Ví dụ: I wouldn’t want to live in a tall building permanently because I prefer a garden and more outdoor space. However, I would enjoy staying in a high-rise for a short vacation to enjoy the views and city lights.

× There are no tall buildings near my home, but other houses they have.

✓ There are no tall buildings near my home, but there are other houses.

The sentence uses an extra subject pronoun 'they' which is redundant and ungrammatical. Replace the clause 'other houses they have' with 'there are other houses' to use the correct existential construction and maintain parallel structure. Also ensure subject-verb agreement by using 'there are'.

× Yes, I take photos if I had the chance to go to the buildings.

✓ Yes, I take photos if I have the chance to go to buildings.

The original mixes present habitual 'I take photos' with past tense 'had', causing a tense mismatch. Use the present tense 'have' in the conditional clause for real/possible situations. Also 'to the buildings' is awkward; 'to buildings' or 'to a building' fits better depending on meaning.

× Yes there is, but I really don't know the name of it.

✓ Yes, there is, but I really don't know its name.

The phrase 'the name of it' is grammatically acceptable but awkward; using the possessive pronoun 'its' is more natural and concise after a 'there is' response referring to a building. Also add a comma after 'Yes' for punctuation.

× For a lifetime, no, I don't want to live there, but for a staycation, I would love to do that.

✓ I wouldn't want to live there for my whole life, but I'd love to stay there for a staycation.

The original word order and phrasing are awkward and inconsistent in register. Reword to a natural sentence structure: use the conditional 'wouldn't' to express unwillingness over a lifetime, and 'I'd love to stay there for a staycation' to express a temporary desire. This improves clarity and maintains consistent modality.
