× Obviously yes, because now I'm living in the capital of the Kazakhstan, uh arsenal, so Arsenal has a lot of uh unique tall high rise buildings that makes sense in the capital.
✓ Obviously yes, because now I'm living in the capital of Kazakhstan, in Arsenal, and Arsenal has a lot of unique tall high-rise buildings that make sense in the capital.
Used 'the' before 'Kazakhstan' incorrectly; country names usually do not take the definite article. 'the Kazakhstan' is wrong. Also corrected phrasing 'uh arsenal' to 'in Arsenal' for preposition use and removed redundant words. 'high-rise' is a compound adjective and should be hyphenated; 'buildings that makes' has a subject-verb agreement error (plural subject 'buildings' needs 'make'), which was fixed by rephrasing to avoid the problematic clause.
× So umm my close proximity.
✓ So I live in close proximity to many of them.
Original fragment is incomplete and lacks a verb and clear subject. Corrected to a full sentence with subject and verb and added 'to many of them' to clarify what is in close proximity. This addresses sentence structure and missing verb issues.
× Yeah, I'm usually because I'm not not a big fan of photo because I I have a a ability to to take a photo because I'm not professional, but I'm trying to do my best and buildings is really incredible and they're really picturesque.
✓ Yes, I usually do, although I'm not a big fan of photography because I don't have the ability to take professional photos; I'm not a professional, but I try my best, and buildings are really incredible and very picturesque.
Multiple problems: 'I'm usually' is incomplete—added 'do' to form 'I usually do' to answer the question. 'not not' was a double negative and removed. 'a ability' should be 'the ability' or 'the ability' -> changed to 'the ability' and rephrased to 'I don't have the ability to take professional photos' to fix article and noun issues. 'buildings is' is subject-verb agreement error (plural subject needs 'are'), fixed. Tense kept present simple to match habitual action.
× I want to visit the Bajirao because this bitterrock is the most the one of the most vital buildings in in Kazakhstan and have some unique history, contains some unique history.
✓ I want to visit Bajirao because it is one of the most important buildings in Kazakhstan and has a unique history.
Removed 'the' before 'Bajirao' since proper names normally do not need 'the' unless part of the name. 'The most the one of the most' is redundant; simplified to 'one of the most important.' Fixed subject-verb agreement: 'have' changed to 'has' for singular subject 'it.' Also removed duplicate phrase 'contains some unique history' and replaced with 'has a unique history.'
× So this is the reason why I'm wanting this.
✓ So this is the reason why I want to visit it.
'I'm wanting' is an unusual present continuous for desire; use simple present 'I want' to express intention. Replaced vague 'this' with 'to visit it' to clarify the object. This fixes verb aspect misuse.
× No, I'm not. I'm not interested in living in a tall building tall beatings because of due to the fact that I don't like the I don't like tall buildings because they look like own house and then not don't have some I will.
✓ No, I'm not. I'm not interested in living in a tall building because I don't like tall buildings; they don't feel like a home to me and I wouldn't want that.
Original had repeated negatives and nonsense phrases. Removed 'tall beatings' (mispronunciation) and 'because of due to the fact that' (redundant). Fixed pronoun usage: 'they look like own house' is incorrect—changed to 'they don't feel like a home to me.' Replaced 'I will' and double negatives with 'I wouldn't want that' to express preference. Overall corrected sentence structure and pronoun reference.
