× Currently where I am residing we don't have tall buildings, but when I travel, especially when I went to Hong Kong last year, a lot of tall buildings I see especially in the city proper and the cityscape was so beautiful, the lights during the night.
✓ Currently, where I am residing we don't have tall buildings, but when I travel, especially when I went to Hong Kong last year, I saw a lot of tall buildings, especially in the city proper, and the cityscape was so beautiful with the lights at night.
Mixed present and past tense and incorrect word order: 'I see' conflicts with 'when I went' which is past. Use past tense 'I saw' to match 'went'. Also reorder 'a lot of tall buildings I see' to 'I saw a lot of tall buildings' for correct English word order. Add commas and 'with' to link 'lights at night'. (Grammar problem type ID: 6)
× Yes I do, but not all the time. I admire them from afar, but I don't get easily fascinated with tall buildings. I prefer a different landscape like mountains or sea or historical places like museums, but not build.
✓ Yes I do, but not all the time. I admire them from afar, but I don't get easily fascinated by tall buildings. I prefer different landscapes like mountains or the sea or historical places such as museums, but not buildings.
Preposition and noun form errors: use 'fascinated by' not 'fascinated with'. Use plural 'landscapes' to match list, and 'the sea' is standard. 'Not build' is incorrect; use 'not buildings' or 'not built environments'. Also change 'like museums' to 'such as museums' for clarity. (Grammar problem type ID: 11)
× I live in a small town and our town is the capital city of our province which is Regina and I've been in Regina for like 10 years now but I haven't visited the parliament building. I've been wanting to visit the building and see what's inside.
✓ I live in a small town, which is the capital city of our province, Regina, and I've been in Regina for about 10 years now, but I haven't visited the parliament building. I've been wanting to visit the building and see what is inside.
Punctuation and clarity: add commas and reorder to clearly identify Regina. 'Like 10 years' is informal; use 'about 10 years'. 'What's' can be expanded to 'what is' for formality. Tense usage is acceptable (present perfect for experience and desire). No change in tense necessary beyond wording. (Grammar problem type ID: 9)

Incorrect passive construction and inconsistent modals: 'I've given a chance' is unclear; use 'I've been given a chance' or 'I've had the chance'. 'You'll' is informal and shifts mood; 'you would' matches hypothetical imagining. Expand contraction 'there's' to 'there is' for clarity. These changes correct modal/passive usage and tone.
