Building— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Clarify vocabulary and use a clear topic sentence, then add one specific detail with a linking phrase. Avoid incorrect words like “psalms” and vague phrasing.

Example: No, there aren’t many tall buildings near my home; mostly there are two-story houses. For example, the neighborhood around my street consists of small shops and low residential buildings, while the taller office blocks are only found in the city center.

Suggestion: Start with a concise direct answer, then give a clear reason and a contrasting preference using a linking word like “because” or “instead.” Keep sentences short and natural.

Example: Not really. Because I grew up in the city, I see buildings every day and they don’t interest me much; instead, I prefer photographing nature, such as mountains and beaches.

Suggestion: Give a direct affirmative answer, briefly explain why and add a specific detail about what you would do there. Use linking words like “because” or “so” for coherence.

Example: Yes, I would like to visit the Eiffel Tower because it is an iconic landmark. I hope to go up to the viewing platform and take photos of the city skyline while learning about its history.

Suggestion: Use correct vocabulary and provide a clear reason. Start with a direct answer, correct the mistaken words (e.g., ‘detached house’ instead of ‘display house’), and give one concrete reason with a linking word like “because.”

Example: No, I wouldn’t. I prefer to live in a detached house because I feel it is safer and more private than high-rise apartments; for instance, it’s easier to have a garden and store items without using elevators.

× No, mostly just two-story houses and psalms for shops are located near my home.

✓ No, mostly just two-story houses and small shops are located near my home.

The word 'psalms' is incorrect in context and seems to be a misuse of a noun; likely intended 'shops' or 'stalls' or 'small shops'. This is a vocabulary/word choice error classified here as incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs because an inappropriate word disrupts adjective-noun relationships. Suggestion: use 'small shops' or 'stalls' to clearly describe the nearby commercial buildings.

× All buildings are usually seen situated in the most centered part of our city.

✓ Most buildings are usually situated in the central part of our city.

The original is wordy and uses awkward constructions ('are usually seen situated', 'the most centered part'). This is a sentence structure issue. Use 'Most buildings are usually situated in the central part of our city' to be concise and grammatically natural. 'Central' is the correct adjective; 'most centered' is unnatural.

× No, I'm not really fascinated with buildings since I lived in the city and I see all these infrastructures every day.

✓ No, I'm not really fascinated with buildings since I live in the city and I see all this infrastructure every day.

Tense mismatch: 'since I lived' (past) conflicts with 'I see' (present). Use present simple 'I live' with 'since' to indicate a continuing state. Also 'infrastructures' is uncountable in this sense; use 'infrastructure' or 'buildings'/'structures'. 'All this infrastructure' is more natural.

× I would prefer to see more of the mountains and beach instead.

✓ I would prefer to see more of the mountains and the beach instead.

Missing article before 'beach' and parallel structure: when listing 'the mountains and the beach' include 'the' for both or at least before 'beach'. This relates to use of determiners and maintaining parallel noun phrases, classified here as verb + -ing because the preference construction 'would prefer to see' takes an infinitive and the following noun phrase must be parallel and correctly determined. Suggest adding 'the' for clarity.

× I don't know if it's considered a building, but I want to see the Eiffel Tower.

✓ I don't know if it's considered a building, but I would like to see the Eiffel Tower.

Tense and register: 'I want to see' is acceptable, but in polite/future desire contexts 'I would like to see' is more natural. Classified as present tense issue because of modal preference. Suggest using 'would like' for polite wish.

× I see a lot of people going through it and I would like to take a picture with it someday.

✓ I see a lot of people visiting it and I would like to take a picture with it someday.

'Going through it' is inaccurate for visiting a monument; use 'visiting it'. This is a lexical choice affecting present tense description. Suggest 'visiting' to describe people who go to the Eiffel Tower.

× No, I prefer to live in a display house or a Buffalo just because I feel like it is safer than living in a tall building.

✓ No, I prefer to live in a detached house or a bungalow just because I feel it is safer than living in a tall building.

'Display house' and 'Buffalo' are incorrect here: likely intended 'detached house' and 'bungalow'. This is misuse of nouns/adjectives (word choice). Also 'I feel like it is safer' is wordy; 'I feel it is safer' is more natural. Suggest using correct housing terms: 'detached house' or 'bungalow'.
