× No, there aren't any tall buildings around my home because I live in student housing for UC Berkeley.
✓ No, there aren't any tall buildings around my home because I live in student housing for UC Berkeley.
Sentence is grammatically correct with 'there aren't any' to state absence. No change needed.
× Most of buildings near in my neighborhood are low rise buildings which feels less crowded and quiet.
✓ Most of the buildings in my neighborhood are low-rise, which feel less crowded and quiet.
Errors: missing definite article 'the' before 'buildings'; incorrect word order 'near in' should be 'in'; 'low rise' should be hyphenated as 'low-rise' when used as a compound adjective; subject 'which' refers to 'buildings' (plural) so verb should be 'feel' not 'feels'. Suggestion: use 'Most of the buildings in my neighborhood are low-rise, which feel...'.
× I'm not interested in taking photos of building.
✓ I'm not interested in taking photos of buildings.
Error: noun 'building' should be plural after 'photos of' because typically multiple buildings or the general category is meant. Use plural 'buildings'. The '-ing' form 'taking' is correct here.
× Actually, I prefer taking photos of a drawings and foods which are more colorful and detailed.
✓ Actually, I prefer taking photos of drawings and food, which are more colorful and detailed.
Errors: article 'a' is incorrect before plural 'drawings'—remove it; 'foods' as a plural is uncountable here, use 'food'; add comma before 'which' and ensure 'which are' refers to plural 'drawings and food'. Suggestion: 'photos of drawings and food'.
× I'd like to visit all skyscraper.
✓ I'd like to visit all skyscrapers.
Error: singular 'skyscraper' should be plural 'skyscrapers' after 'all'. Use plural when referring to all members of a class.
× I enjoy seeing a city views.
✓ I enjoy seeing city views.
Error: article 'a' before plural 'views' is incorrect; remove 'a'. Keep plural 'views' to match meaning.
× I don't have a specific buildings in my mind but it would be really impressive.
✓ I don't have any specific buildings in mind, but it would be really impressive.
Errors: 'a specific buildings' mixes singular article with plural noun—use 'any specific buildings' or 'a specific building'. 'In my mind' is better as 'in mind' after 'have'. Add comma before 'but'.
× Not really, I prefer living in low rise buildings because I have to keys and low rise buildings provide a more comfortable environment for them to play and run.
✓ Not really. I prefer living in low-rise buildings because I have two keys, and low-rise buildings provide a more comfortable environment for my children to play and run.
Multiple errors: punctuation—use a period to separate ideas; 'low rise' should be hyphenated as 'low-rise'; 'I have to keys' uses 'to' instead of 'two' (number); sentence is unclear who 'them' refers to—use 'my children' or 'them' must be defined; added comma before 'and'. Suggestion: clarify the subject ('children') and correct number word.
