Building— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Your answer is clear and relevant, but it is a little wordy and contains a minor grammatical issue (use '14th floor' → 'the 14th floor'). To improve, make the response slightly shorter, start with a direct topic sentence, and use a linking phrase to give the distance detail. Also avoid unnecessary repetition ('around you').

Ví dụ: No, there are no tall buildings near my home. I live in the countryside, so most houses are low-rise; however, about 15 kilometres away you can see some high-rise blocks that reach the 14th floor.

Gợi ý: The idea is good but the sentence is long, slightly ungrammatical and ends abruptly ('for example' without following detail). Improve by giving a clear topic sentence, using a linking word, and adding a specific example as supporting detail. Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Ví dụ: Not really — I prefer photographing natural scenery rather than buildings. For example, when I visit the coast I often take photos of cliffs and sunsets because I like capturing colours and textures. Still, I sometimes photograph notable monuments if they have interesting architecture.

Gợi ý: Good content and enthusiasm, but there are redundancies ('definitely' twice, 'I'm not certain about if'). Make the opening concise and use one clear reason with a specific detail about the Taj Mahal to support your wish to visit again.

Ví dụ: I would like to revisit the Taj Mahal. I have vivid memories of its marble inlay and delicate carvings, and next time I want to take better photos to capture those architectural details and the way the light falls at sunrise.

Gợi ý: Your opinion is clear, but the answer has filler ('uh'), small grammatical issues ('peace view' → 'peaceful view'), and an overlong ending. Improve by giving one or two concise reasons with linking words and avoid hesitations. If you name a famous building, briefly explain why.

Ví dụ: Yes, I would like to live in a tall building because higher floors offer a peaceful view and better airflow. For instance, living in a place like the Burj Khalifa would appeal to me for its panoramic city views and modern facilities.

× I live in the countryside so most of the buildings near my house are low rise, although if you travel 15 kilometers away you might start to see some of the high rise buildings around you which go up to 14th floor.

✓ I live in the countryside, so most of the buildings near my house are low-rise; although if you travel 15 kilometers away you might start to see some high-rise buildings around you which go up to the 14th floor.

Plural/singular and related article issues: 'low rise' and 'high rise' should be hyphenated as compound adjectives (low-rise, high-rise). 'Some of the high rise buildings' is wordy; 'some high-rise buildings' is preferred. '14th floor' needs the definite article 'the' because it refers to a specific floor. Also adding a comma and semicolon improves sentence structure. Suggestions: hyphenate compound adjectives, use 'some high-rise buildings' for plural, and include 'the' before ordinal floor numbers.

× I prefer to take photos of natural scenery more than the photos of monuments, or buildings for that matter, although there are some particular monuments that I have visited and I have enjoyed taking pictures of them, for example.

✓ I prefer taking photos of natural scenery more than photos of monuments or buildings, although there are some particular monuments I have visited that I enjoyed photographing, for example.

Usage of verb+ -ing vs infinitive: 'prefer to take... more than the photos' is awkward. When comparing preferences, prefer + -ing is natural: 'prefer taking... to photos of'. Also 'taking pictures of them' is redundant; use 'photographing' and avoid unnecessary pronoun 'them'. Suggestions: use 'prefer taking' and 'photographing' and simplify comparison to 'prefer A to B'.

× I'm not certain about if it falls in the category of buildings, but I would definitely like to revisit Taj Mahal and take better pictures of it as I definitely have mesmerizing memories of its beautiful architecture and details.

✓ I'm not certain whether it falls into the category of buildings, but I would definitely like to revisit the Taj Mahal and take better pictures, as I have mesmerizing memories of its beautiful architecture and details.

Conjunction/structure issue: 'not certain about if' is incorrect; use 'not certain whether' or 'not sure if'. Preposition 'falls in' should be 'falls into'. 'Taj Mahal' needs the definite article 'the'. 'Take better pictures of it' is wordy; 'take better pictures' suffices. Also remove repeated 'definitely'. Suggestions: use 'whether', 'falls into', include 'the' before famous monuments when required.

× I would love to live in a tall building, especially because of the peace view and the breeze that tall buildings and uh higher level of homes have is great and my best preference would be to live in Burj Khalifa.

✓ I would love to live in a tall building, especially because of the peaceful view and the breeze that tall buildings and higher-level homes have; my top preference would be to live in the Burj Khalifa.

Adjective/adverb and word choice issues: 'peace view' is incorrect; use 'peaceful view' or 'peaceful surroundings'. 'higher level' as a noun phrase should be 'higher-level homes' with a hyphen. Sentence run-on: combine with a semicolon or split into two sentences. 'Best preference' is redundant; use 'top preference'. 'Burj Khalifa' typically takes the definite article 'the'. Suggestions: choose correct adjective 'peaceful', hyphenate 'higher-level', and use 'my top preference' and include 'the' before the building name.
