× Yes, there are many tall buildings near my home as we live in the apartment, so all the apartments contains so much buildings and the buildings are so colorful that really I catch you.
✓ Yes, there are many tall buildings near my home because we live in apartments, so all the apartment buildings contain many structures and they are so colorful that they really catch my eye.
Errors: 'the apartment' should be plural or general 'apartments'; 'contains' should be 'contain' to agree with plural noun 'apartment buildings'; 'so much buildings' is uncountable noun use — use 'many buildings'; 'the buildings are so colorful that really I catch you' is incorrect idiom and pronoun — use 'they really catch my eye'. Suggestion: Match singular/plural forms and use correct collocations for countable nouns and idiomatic expressions. Note: Correction keeps present tense to match question context.
× Yes, I take photos of the buildings, uh, especially those colorful buildings, which are really eye-catching and, and, uh, if I see that some buildings are, uh, well designed and and well maintained, I take that windows photos.
✓ Yes, I take photos of buildings, especially colorful ones that are really eye-catching, and if I see some buildings that are well designed and well maintained, I take photos of their windows.
Errors: 'well designed' and 'well maintained' are fine as past participles used adjectivally but sentence had redundant words and awkward phrase 'that windows photos'. 'That windows photos' is incorrect order and article use; use 'photos of their windows'. Suggestion: Remove fillers, streamline relative clauses, and use 'photos of' + object. Grammar types applied: verb phrase clarity and correct noun phrase order.
× Yes, there is a building near my home which is called White Palace, and the whole building is white color and it's looks like, uh, a palace.
✓ Yes, there is a building near my home called the White Palace, and the whole building is white in color and it looks like a palace.
Errors: 'which is called White Palace' is acceptable but 'called the White Palace' is more natural; 'white color' should be 'white in color' or simply 'white'; 'it's looks' is subject-verb error — should be 'it looks'. Suggestion: Use 'it looks' not 'it's looks' and adjust article before proper name if appropriate. Grammar problem types: There be issue and subject-verb agreement (implicit).
× So for that reason, the outside look and architectural design in anthracnial mode.
✓ For that reason, the exterior appearance and architectural design are in an anthracite style.
Errors: 'outside look' is informal — use 'exterior appearance'; 'in anthracnial mode' is nonstandard and unclear — likely means 'in an anthracite style' or 'in a dark/anthracite mode'. Also missing verb; original phrase was a fragment. Suggestion: Use concrete adjectives and include verb 'are' to complete the sentence. Grammar types: incorrect adjective use and sentence structure (fragment).
× So I would like to visit the building to know about the inside design.
✓ So I would like to visit the building to learn about its interior design.
Errors: 'to know about the inside design' is awkward; use 'to learn about' and 'interior design' or 'its interior design'. Suggestion: Use correct verb collocation 'learn about' and preferred noun phrase 'interior design'. Grammar type applied: verb phrase collocation/present participle clarity.
× Yes, I would like to live in a tall building and the top floor of that building because I really like the view and the scenery.
✓ Yes, I would like to live in a tall building, specifically on the top floor, because I really like the view and the scenery.
Errors: 'and the top floor of that building' is awkward coordination — use 'specifically on the top floor' to indicate preference. Suggestion: Reorder to clearly express living in the building and location within it. Grammar type: verb phrase clarity and sentence structure.
× From the top of a building it looks like amazing and from that the view of the road and the area is looking very nice and attractive.
✓ The view from the top of a building looks amazing, and the view of the road and the surrounding area looks very nice and attractive.
Errors: 'From the top of a building it looks like amazing' uses 'it' without clear reference and 'like' incorrectly; say 'looks amazing'. 'is looking' is unnecessary progressive — use simple present 'looks'. Suggestion: Use clear subject 'the view' and simple present 'looks' for habitual/general statements.
