Building— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be direct and concise with a clear topic sentence, use correct collocations and grammar, and add one specific detail. Use linking words for coherence. Avoid filler words like 'umm' and fragmented phrases.

Example: Yes, there are many tall buildings near my home because I live in Hong Kong, which is a very crowded city. For example, several residential towers surround my apartment and they are built very close to each other, so the streets often feel busy.

Suggestion: Start with a clear short answer, then give a reason and a specific example. Use correct verb forms and clearer vocabulary (e.g. 'photograph', 'nature scenes'). Use linking words such as 'because' and 'for example'.

Example: No, I don't usually photograph buildings because I see them every day and they feel ordinary to me. Instead, I prefer photographing nature; for example, I often take pictures of beaches and mountain landscapes when I visit the coast or hiking trails.

Suggestion: Answer directly and politely, then explain your preference with a specific reason and example. Correct grammar (e.g. 'I get bored', 'I don't understand why') and avoid vague phrases. Keep it to 2–3 sentences.

Example: No, there isn't a building I want to visit because I usually get bored by urban architecture. I prefer lively natural places; for instance, I enjoy visiting forests and beaches where there is more variety and fresh air.

Suggestion: Give a clear topic sentence, then support it with specific benefits and one contrast or personal feeling. Fix grammar and use precise vocabulary (e.g. 'city centre', 'amenities'). Use linking words such as 'because' and 'for example'.

Example: Yes, I would like to live in a tall building because I currently do and I appreciate the convenience. For example, living in a high-rise in the city centre means I have easy access to restaurants, shops and public transport, which saves me time.

× 'there are a lot of forest kind of buildings surrounding us because we are now in Hong Kong, very hassle and pursue cities.'

✓ 'There are a lot of building-like areas with trees surrounding us because we are now in Hong Kong, a very hectic and crowded city.'

'Incorrect prepositions and word choices: "in Hong Kong, very hassle and pursue cities" is ungrammatical. Use 'in Hong Kong, a very hectic and crowded city' to use the preposition 'in' correctly with a singular noun phrase and correct adjectives. Replace "forest kind of buildings" with "building-like areas with trees" or "areas with many trees" to make the meaning clear.'},{

× 'All the building are built together, very crowded, very yes.'

✓ 'All the buildings are built together; it is very crowded.'

'Subject-verb agreement and sentence structure: "All the building are" is incorrect because "building" should be plural "buildings" to match the plural verb. Also "very yes" is not a valid phrase; replace with a clear clause "it is very crowded". Use a semicolon or conjunction to join related clauses.'},{

× 'I don't because umm, I'm seeing those buildings a lot of times, but I'm willing to capturing some kind of nature's moments like seas, beach, beaches and also like mountains, some kind of natures scene.'

✓ 'No, I don't, because I have seen those buildings many times, and I prefer to capture natural scenes like the sea, beaches, and mountains.'

'Tense and verb form errors: "I'm seeing those buildings a lot of times" should be present perfect "I have seen those buildings many times" to indicate repeated experience. "I'm willing to capturing" mixes structures; use "I prefer to capture" or "I am willing to capture." Also correct plural/singular and word form: "seas, beach, beaches" -> "the sea, beaches" and "natures scene" -> "natural scenes." '},{

× 'No I don't, I'm more umm because I'm quite get bored of it.'

✓ 'No, I don't. I'm more bored of it.'

'Verb form and auxiliary use: "I'm quite get bored of it" incorrectly combines "am" and "get." Use either "I'm quite bored of it" or "I get bored of it." The third-person rule is not directly the issue here but the error fits into incorrect verb forms; the correct simple form is "I'm bored." '},{

× 'I don't really get why people love to capturing the building it's like that things, but I do willing to capturing some alive things like nature.'

✓ 'I don't really understand why people love capturing buildings like that, but I am willing to capture living things like nature.'

'Incorrect verb + -ing and infinitive forms: "love to capturing" mixes infinitive and -ing; use either "love to capture" or "love capturing." "I do willing to capturing" is wrong; use "I am willing to capture." Also replace "alive things" with "living things" or "natural scenes." '},{

× 'Yes, I would say so I'm now currently living in a tall building because like when you are living a in a tall buildings it means that you are now in the centres of the country or the cities.'

✓ 'Yes, I would say so. I'm currently living in a tall building because when you live in a tall building it usually means you are in the center of the city.'

'Tense and article errors: Remove redundant future/modal confusion. Use present simple for general truths: "when you live in a tall building." Fix articles: "a in a tall buildings" is wrong; use "in a tall building." Use singular "center" and correct "centres of the country or the cities" to "center of the city." '},{

× 'Umm it's bunch of things surrounding us like food, restaurants and also shops so very.'

✓ 'There are a bunch of things around us like food options, restaurants, and shops.'

'Preposition and sentence structure: "surrounding us" is acceptable but "it's bunch of things surrounding us" is ungrammatical; use "There are a bunch of things around us." Remove dangling "so very." Use clearer nouns like "food options." '}] }<()>
