× Actually, I I live in the city so there are many tall buildings nearby.
✓ Actually, I live in the city, so there are many tall buildings nearby.
Duplicate word 'I' is a repetition error and missing comma before 'so' creates a run-on sentence. Remove the extra 'I' and add a comma to join independent clauses correctly.
× Uh, For example, the uh, the a large apartment buildings with 17 floors is right next to my house I feel like.
✓ For example, a large apartment building with 17 floors is right next to my house, I feel.
Incorrect articles and plural/singular mismatch: 'the a' is wrong and 'buildings' should be singular to match 'a'. Also verb agreement: 'is' matches singular 'building'. Added comma and smoothed phrase 'I feel'.
× Sometimes when I when I go back to home, it is 6:00 PM uh, it, it is sunset time, so I some usually take a photo of uh, high rise apartment with sunset.
✓ Sometimes when I go back home at 6:00 PM, it is sunset, so I usually take a photo of a high-rise apartment with the sunset.
Repetition 'when I when I' and incorrect preposition 'to home' should be 'home'. Word order and extra words: 'some usually' is incorrect. Need article 'a' before 'high-rise apartment' and hyphenate 'high-rise'. Added 'the' before 'sunset' for clarity and corrected placement of time phrase.
× As far as I know, the largest building is in Busan named Signal.
✓ As far as I know, the largest building in Busan is called Signal.
Use 'called' (past participle/adjectival use) or 'is called' to state a name: 'is in Busan named' is awkward. 'Is called Signal' is the natural phrasing.
× I want to visit it because I heard it has great panoramic views of the city and also has Starbucks in the building.
✓ I want to visit it because I heard it has great panoramic views of the city and also a Starbucks in the building.
Not a major grammatical error, but parallelism and article use: 'has Starbucks' should be 'has a Starbucks' to refer to one cafe. Keeping parallel noun phrases improves clarity.
× So I'd like to see the skyline and take some coffee.
✓ So I'd like to see the skyline and have some coffee.
Verb choice: 'take some coffee' is non-native. Use 'have some coffee' or 'grab some coffee'.
× The when I was a child I live in on live on the 17th floor of the apartment building and the elevator often broke down.
✓ When I was a child, I lived on the 17th floor of the apartment building and the elevator often broke down.
Tense and person agreement: 'I live' should be past 'I lived' to match 'When I was a child'. Remove extra 'The' and duplicate 'live on'.
× Because of that I was required to use the stairs many time, which was inconvenient and sometimes quite tiring.
✓ Because of that, I had to use the stairs many times, which was inconvenient and sometimes quite tiring.
'Was required to' is formal but acceptable; 'had to' is more natural. 'Many time' is incorrect; use plural 'many times'. Added comma after introductory phrase.
