建筑— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Your answer is clear and relevant but can be more natural and concise. Avoid filler words ("uh") and repetitive phrases. Begin with a direct topic sentence, then add one specific detail (e.g., examples of the buildings or their effect on the area). Keep it to 2–3 sentences.

範例: Yes. There are many new high-rise apartment blocks near my home. For example, a large complex with glass facades is being built two streets away, which is changing the skyline and bringing more shops to the neighbourhood.

建議: The response answers the question but is repetitive and somewhat confusing. Remove fillers, avoid contradicting yourself (saying no but then praising one building), and give a concise reason plus a brief example or exception. Use linking words like "however" to show contrast.

範例: Not really. I rarely take photos of buildings because most of them are ordinary apartment blocks. However, I did photograph the tallest high-rise in the city last year because its façade and lighting are quite striking.

建議: Good choice and clear interest, but avoid hesitations and uncertainty such as "if I'm not wrong." Provide a concise reason why you want to visit the building and one specific detail about it to show knowledge and interest. Keep it to 2–3 sentences.

範例: Yes, I would love to visit the Sagrada Família in Spain because I admire Gaudí's unique architecture. I am especially interested in its intricate façades and unusual interior light, which I’ve seen in photos and would like to experience in person.

建議: Your answer shows balanced opinion, which is good. Reduce fillers and state both sides succinctly with a linking phrase ("on the one hand/... on the other hand"). Add a brief detail to justify your fear or preference (for example, concern about elevators or safety).

範例: I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, living high up would offer stunning views and more privacy; on the other hand, I’m afraid of heights and would worry about using elevators and emergency evacuation.

× Near my house a lot of new apartments like high rise buildings are being built.

✓ Near my house, a lot of new apartments, like high-rise buildings, are being built.

The original sentence has punctuation and hyphenation issues rather than a verb-ing error; however 'being built' is correct progressive passive. Improve clarity by adding commas and hyphenating 'high-rise' as a compound adjective. Suggestion: use commas to separate clauses and hyphenate compound adjectives.

× Yes, a lot.

✓ Yes, a lot of them.

The fragment 'Yes, a lot.' is acceptable in casual speech but is incomplete in this context. Adding 'of them' clarifies the quantifier's reference to 'tall buildings.' Suggestion: include the noun or a pronoun after quantifiers to avoid ambiguity.

× Not in my country. I don't think that there are some special or interesting buildings.

✓ Not in my country. I don't think there are any special or interesting buildings.

Using 'some' in negative sentences is incorrect; 'any' is the appropriate quantifier in negative contexts. Also remove the extra 'that' for conciseness. Suggestion: use 'any' after negative verbs (don't, isn't) when referring to unspecified items.

× We have the highest high rise in our country, which is rather beautiful.

✓ We have the tallest high-rise in our country, which is rather beautiful.

'Highest' is used for vertical measurement but 'tallest' is the correct adjective for comparing height of buildings. Also hyphenate 'high-rise.' Suggestion: use 'tallest' when comparing height among buildings.

× I would like to visit Sagrada Familia, which is located in Spain if I'm not wrong.

✓ I would like to visit Sagrada Familia, which is located in Spain, if I'm not wrong.

Comma needed before the conditional phrase 'if I'm not wrong' to separate clauses for clarity. The verb phrase 'is located' is fine. Suggestion: add comma for clause separation.

× I also like the Spanish, uh, the culture, people, the language.

✓ I also like Spanish culture, the people, and the language.

The original repeats the article 'the' awkwardly and omits conjunction 'and.' Rephrase for natural enumeration and remove unnecessary 'the' before 'Spanish.' Suggestion: list items with commas and include 'and' before the final item.

× I'm very, very scared of high.

✓ I'm very, very scared of heights.

'High' is an adjective; the noun 'heights' is required after 'scared of.' Use the plural noun 'heights' to express fear of tall places. Suggestion: use 'scared of heights' for phobia or fear of tall places.
