Building— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more fluent and concise: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid fillers (uh, um), correct grammar (a residential area; low-rise houses), and provide one specific detail to support your answer. Use a linking phrase if adding information.

Example: No, there aren't any tall buildings near my home. I live in a residential area with mainly low‑rise houses, so the skyline is mostly two- or three‑storey buildings. As a result, I rarely see skyscrapers from my street.

Suggestion: Give a direct topic sentence, avoid tense mistakes and filler words, and add one specific example and a linking phrase to make your reply coherent.

Example: Yes, I sometimes photograph buildings, especially when their design looks artistic. However, I usually prefer taking photos of the sky and sunsets because the colours and cloud formations are more appealing to me. For example, last month I photographed an orange sunset that looked spectacular.

Suggestion: Answer directly and clearly: say whether you have a specific building or not, correct vocabulary (arch → architecture; Islamic art/ornamentation), avoid informal phrases (wanna, I don't know) and give one concrete reason or example to support your preference.

Example: I don't have a single specific building in mind, but I would love to visit Iran to see its architecture. For example, I'm fascinated by the intricate tilework and domed mosques such as those in Isfahan, which are richly decorated with geometric patterns and calligraphy.

Suggestion: Give a clear, concise opinion first, then briefly explain with one or two reasons using linking words. Avoid repetition and correct phrasing (for my physical health; this would help me get more exercise).

Example: Honestly, I wouldn't like to live in a tall building because I prefer houses with gardens and more privacy. On the other hand, for my physical health it could be beneficial because using the stairs regularly would give me more daily exercise.

× No, there aren't uh, any tall buildings around my house, uh, because I live in residential area so I'm surrounding with low rates, uh, houses.

✓ No, there aren't any tall buildings around my house, because I live in a residential area surrounded by low-rise houses.

Errors: missing article before 'residential area' and incorrect phrase 'surrounding with low rates, houses'. Use 'a' before singular noun 'residential area'. 'Surrounding with' is incorrect; use passive adjective 'surrounded by'. 'Low rates' is wrong word; correct term is 'low-rise' to describe short buildings. Suggestion: add 'a' before 'residential area', replace 'surrounding with' with 'surrounded by', and use 'low-rise houses'. Grammar problem type ID: 22

× Uh, so I cannot see any skyscrapers around the city.

✓ So I cannot see any skyscrapers in the city.

Error: preposition use and slight redundancy. 'Around the city' implies outside; 'in the city' fits context. Also 'cannot' is fine. Suggestion: use 'in the city' for clarity. Grammar problem type ID: 9

× Yes, sometimes if they were artistic, but most of the time I like to take pictures of the sky and the sunset, uh, beautiful clouds.

✓ Yes, sometimes if they are artistic, but most of the time I like to take pictures of the sky, the sunset, and beautiful clouds.

Error: incorrect past tense 'were' when referring to a general present habit; should use present 'are'. Also punctuation/listing for clarity. Suggestion: use present tense for habitual conditions and separate items with commas. Grammar problem type ID: 6

× There isn't like a specific building I want to visit, but I really wanna visit Iran because I like their arch culture.

✓ There isn't a specific building I want to visit, but I really want to visit Iran because I like its architectural culture.

Errors: colloquial 'like' filler and 'wanna' informal; 'their' is incorrect for a country—use 'its' as possessive for singular noun 'Iran'; 'arch culture' is unclear—use 'architectural culture' or 'architecture'. Suggestion: remove filler 'like', use 'want to' and correct possessive and noun choice. Grammar problem type ID: 12

× When I see it in the photo, the beautiful drawings and Islamic, I don't know.

✓ When I see it in photos—the beautiful decorations and Islamic art—I feel amazed.

Errors: sentence fragment and unclear phrases. 'When I see it in the photo' should agree in number or be plural; 'the beautiful drawings and Islamic, I don't know' is incomplete. Suggestion: make a full clause, clarify 'Islamic art' or 'Islamic architecture', and state the reaction. Replace filler 'I don't know' with a clear response. Grammar problem type ID: 26

× To be honest, no I don't want to live in a tall building but on the health physical health aspect I would say yes.

✓ To be honest, no, I don't want to live in a tall building, but from a physical health aspect I would say yes.

Errors: word order and repetition 'health physical health'. Use 'from a physical health aspect' or 'for physical health reasons'. Suggestion: remove repetition, add commas for clarity, and use 'from' to introduce the perspective. Grammar problem type ID: 4

× So I can I can use stairs every day.

✓ So I can use the stairs every day.

Error: repeated phrase 'I can I can' and missing article before 'stairs'. Suggestion: remove duplicate and add 'the' to specify the stairs in the building. Grammar problem type ID: 26

× This count as steps as yes.

✓ This counts as exercise, so yes.

Errors: incorrect verb form 'count' (should agree with singular 'this' -> 'counts'), awkward phrase 'as steps as yes'. Suggestion: rephrase to 'This counts as exercise, so yes' or 'This counts as walking/steps.' Grammar problem type ID: 26}]}
