× It's it's walls made of glass, it reflects sunlight and it's quiet wonderful when we see it at the day.
✓ Its walls are made of glass; they reflect sunlight and it's quite wonderful when we see it during the day.
Incorrect uses: 'It's it's' repeats and uses contraction incorrectly; 'it's' (it is) used instead of possessive 'its'; 'walls made of glass' requires a passive verb 'are made'; singular/plural agreement: 'walls' needs plural verb 'they reflect'; 'quiet' is wrong word, should be adverb 'quite'; 'at the day' incorrect preposition and article, use 'during the day'. Suggestions: use 'its' for possession, use passive 'are made' for material, ensure subject-verb agreement, use correct adverb 'quite', and use 'during the day' for time expression.
× I'm not interested in taking photos of buildings except, uh, if there are objects near, uh, behind it or beside it that, that catch my attentions.
✓ I'm not interested in taking photos of buildings except, for example, when there are objects near, behind, or beside them that catch my attention.
Errors: 'except, uh, if' awkward — use 'except when' or 'except for example, when'; 'it' refers to 'buildings' (plural) so use 'them'; 'catch my attentions' incorrect plural of 'attention' and article — use singular 'attention'. Suggestions: use 'when' for time clauses, match pronouns to plural nouns, and use uncountable noun 'attention' in singular.
× Yes it is. I would like to visit one of the tallest building in the world, it's Burj Khalifa.
✓ Yes, I would. I would like to visit one of the tallest buildings in the world; it's the Burj Khalifa.
Problems: 'Yes it is' is unnatural answer to 'Is there a building...' — 'Yes, I would' or 'Yes' is better; 'one of the tallest building' needs plural 'buildings'; missing article before 'Burj Khalifa' — 'the' is customary with famous buildings. Suggestions: choose the appropriate short response, use plural after 'one of the', and include definite article for unique landmarks.
× I wonder how the world look like when I I am in the top of that skyscraper.
✓ I wonder what the world looks like when I am at the top of that skyscraper.
Errors: word order and verb form 'how the world look like' — in English use 'what... looks like' and 'looks' for third person singular; 'in the top' should be 'at the top'; duplicate 'I I'. Suggestions: use 'what... looks like' for appearance questions, match verb to singular subject, and use 'at the top' for location.
× Do do the buildings around it look very small?
✓ Do the buildings around it look very small?
Error: duplicated auxiliary 'Do do'. Suggestion: use single 'Do' for question formation.
× I think living in a tall building very exhausting.
✓ I think living in a tall building is very exhausting.
Missing linking verb 'is' to connect subject complement. Suggestion: include 'is' after subject to form a complete clause.
× And actually I don't really like the modern kind of building.
✓ Actually, I don't really like modern buildings.
'the modern kind of building' is unnatural and singular; better to use plural 'modern buildings' or 'modern kinds of buildings'. Suggestions: use plural noun form and remove unnecessary articles for general statements.
× I prefer the simple one, for example, the building that that makes that made of wood.
✓ I prefer simpler ones; for example, buildings that are made of wood.
Problems: 'the simple one' is vague and singular while general preference should use plural 'simpler ones' or 'simple ones'; 'the building that that makes that made of wood' is ungrammatical — duplicate 'that', incorrect verb 'makes', and wrong form 'made' without auxiliary. Use relative clause 'buildings that are made of wood'. Suggestions: express general preference with plural and form relative clauses correctly with 'are made' for passive.
