Building— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Improve clarity and accuracy: start with a direct topic sentence, avoid fillers and repetitions, correct vocabulary and grammar (e.g. 'tall buildings', 'town', 'rather like the countryside'). Use one or two supporting details with a linking word. Keep it within 2–3 sentences.

Example: Yes, there are a few tall buildings near my home, but not many. Although I live in Seoul, my neighborhood feels more like the countryside because it has low-rise houses and lots of trees.

Suggestion: Be more direct and concise: begin with a clear topic sentence, use correct plural/singular forms and smoother linking (e.g. 'rather than' → 'instead'). Provide one specific example and avoid hesitation words.

Example: Sometimes I take photos of buildings, but I usually prefer photographing landscapes instead. For example, I often photograph the nearby mountains and rivers because they look beautiful at sunset.

Suggestion: State the building clearly and give a brief reason with a linking word. Fix name clarity if necessary and add a specific detail about why you want to visit (history, design, location). Keep it to two sentences.

Example: Yes, I would like to visit the Yuksom Building because it is an important cultural landmark in Korea. I have never been there, and I want to see its traditional architecture and learn more about its history.

Suggestion: Answer directly then provide 1–2 specific reasons using linking words such as 'because' or 'so'. Correct vocabulary (e.g. 'a tall building', 'a low-rise building', 'a small cottage in the countryside'). Avoid vague statements like 'more convenient' without examples.

Example: No, I would not want to live in a tall building because I prefer a low-rise house, such as a small cottage in the countryside. It suits me better since I like having a garden and easy access to outdoor space.

× Yes, but not many actually. I live in Seoul but the the optim atmosphere of my town is quite like countryside so there's umm not a lot of toll buildings.

✓ Yes, but not many actually. I live in Seoul, but the overall atmosphere of my town is quite like the countryside, so there aren't a lot of tall buildings.

Errors: duplicate 'the the' (typo), 'optim' is incorrect word choice, missing article before 'countryside', 'toll' should be 'tall', and 'there's not a lot of' should agree with plural 'buildings'. Suggestions: remove duplicate words, use 'overall' or 'typical' instead of 'optim', use the definite article 'the countryside' when speaking generally about a type of place, correct spelling to 'tall', and use 'there aren't' or 'there are not' for plural subjects. Grammar problem type ID: 22

× Well, yes, I take photos of a building sometime, but not really, rather than I usually take photos of scenery of my town, such as mountains or rivers.

✓ Well, yes, I take photos of buildings sometimes, but usually I take photos of the scenery in my town, such as mountains or rivers.

Errors: 'a building sometime' has wrong article and adverb form; 'rather than I usually' is awkward and ungrammatical; 'scenery of my town' should be 'the scenery in my town'. Suggestions: use plural 'buildings' if referring generally, use 'sometimes' for frequency, place adverb 'usually' in natural position, and use 'the scenery in' to show location. Grammar problem type ID: 10

× I would like to visit Uh Yuksom building sometime because it is in Korea but I've never been there even though I'm Korean.

✓ I would like to visit the Uh Yuksom building sometime because it is in Korea, but I've never been there even though I'm Korean.

Errors: missing article 'the' before a specific building's name and missing comma before coordinating conjunction 'but' for clarity. Suggestions: use 'the' before a named building and add a comma before 'but' when joining independent clauses. Grammar problem type ID: 22

× No, I do not want to live in the tall building because I prefer low rise building like little cottage in countryside. It is more convenient for me.

✓ No, I do not want to live in a tall building because I prefer low-rise buildings like little cottages in the countryside. They are more convenient for me.

Errors: 'the tall building' implies a specific building; use 'a tall building' for a general idea. 'Low rise' should be hyphenated as 'low-rise' when used as an adjective, and should be plural 'buildings' to match preference. 'Little cottage' should be plural 'cottages' and needs the article 'the' before 'countryside'. Subject agreement: change 'It is' to 'They are' to agree with plural 'cottages' or 'buildings'. Suggestions: use indefinite article for general statements, hyphenate compound adjectives, match plural forms, and ensure subject-verb agreement.
