× My home is surrounded by so many tall buildings. For example in front of my apartment there is a building, there is a 35 floor building and like sky high building and on the right of.
✓ My home is surrounded by many tall buildings. For example, in front of my apartment there is a 35-floor skyscraper, and there are tall buildings on the right.
Errors: run-on sentence, redundant phrases and missing plural agreement. Use parallel structure and correct noun forms: 'so many' can be simplified to 'many'; '35 floor' should be hyphenated as '35-floor'; 'sky high building' is informal—use 'skyscraper' or 'very tall building'; missing verb 'there are' before plural noun. Suggestion: break into two clear sentences, use hyphenation for compound adjectives and ensure subject-verb agreement. Grammar problem type ID:26
× I'm not interested in architecture like building architecture, so I don't usually take pictures of buildings.
✓ I'm not interested in architecture such as building architecture, so I don't usually take pictures of buildings.
Error: incorrect or awkward preposition/phrase 'like building architecture'. Use 'such as' to introduce an example. Alternatively rephrase to 'I'm not interested in building architecture.' Suggestion: simplify the phrase to 'building architecture' or use 'such as' for examples. Grammar problem type ID:11
× I prefer taking pictures of nature.
✓ I prefer to take pictures of nature.
Error: gerund vs infinitive preference. 'Prefer' can be followed by either gerund or infinitive, but in this context 'prefer to take' is slightly more natural. Suggestion: use 'prefer to take' for general preferences. Grammar problem type ID:12

Errors: filler 'UMM' should be removed in written form; punctuation and redundancy issues: 'mesmerizing landscapes, countryside landscapes' is repetitive. Combine ideas with a semicolon and place adjective before noun: 'countryside landscapes'. Suggestion: remove fillers, avoid repetition, and use correct punctuation. Grammar problem type ID:26

Errors: filler 'UMM' and awkward phrasing 'one of them, one of my dreams'; 'top off the sky high building' is incorrect collocation; repeated phrase 'every morning' appears twice; 'UMM view' makes no sense. Suggestion: remove fillers, use natural collocations ('live at the top of a skyscraper'), avoid repetition and ensure clear noun phrases. Grammar problem type ID:26}]} PMID: Not applicable.
