× I'm actually living in a relatively urbanized area in Tokyo, so I can find, uh, lots of, umm, large buildings around here in my business city.
✓ I actually live in a relatively urbanized area of Tokyo, so I can find lots of large buildings around here in my business district.
Use simple present 'live' for a habitual state instead of continuous present 'am living' when describing where you reside generally. 'Area of Tokyo' is the correct prepositional phrase; 'in my business city' is awkward — 'business district' is the appropriate term. Remove filler words and redundant phrases to improve clarity.
× Actually I don't take pictures of buildings to be honest are I generally don't take pictures of them essentially.
✓ Actually, I don't usually take pictures of buildings to be honest.
The original sentence contains redundant and incorrect phrases. Use 'don't usually' to express frequency. Remove extra words like 'are' and 'essentially' which are misplaced. Keep preposition 'of' with 'pictures of buildings'.
× So accordingly I don't texture pick don't take pictures of them.
✓ So, accordingly, I don't take pictures of them.
The phrase 'texture pick' is incorrect and likely a speech error. Simplify the structure to 'I don't take pictures of them.' Use commas for clarity. Ensure only relevant words remain.
× Yes, I have our I I'd like to visit UH-1, umm, building in, in the, in Shinjuku, uh, one that is famous for now, umm, that is, that is famous for its unique structure and newly built like 2 years ago.
✓ Yes, there is a building in Shinjuku that I'd like to visit, one that is famous for its unique structure and was newly built about two years ago.
Original has disfluencies and wrong word order. Use 'there is' to introduce existence, then 'that I'd like to visit' for purpose. Use past passive 'was newly built' to indicate when it was completed. Replace 'like 2 years ago' with 'about two years ago' for formal spoken English.
× So I'd like to visit there someday.
✓ So I'd like to visit it someday.
Use direct object pronoun 'it' rather than 'there' because you refer to a specific building. 'Visit there' is informal and less accurate.
× Hey I I do not want you living in the tall buildings because I am afraid of going to the hotel.
✓ I do not want to live in tall buildings because I am afraid of heights.
The original contains 'you living' which changes meaning; student likely meant 'I do not want to live'. 'Afraid of going to the hotel' is incorrect for fear of heights — use 'afraid of heights'. Remove extra 'Hey I I' filler. Maintain first person subject consistency.
× Higher prices, so actually I don't want to.
✓ They are more expensive, so I don't want to.
'Higher prices' alone is a fragment; combine into a full sentence. Use comparative 'more expensive' to describe tall buildings relative cost. Keep concise to match spoken response.
