Building— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and correct grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence, correct prepositions/articles, and avoid filler words. Add one specific detail with a linking word. Limit to 2–3 sentences.

Example: No, there aren’t any tall buildings near my home. However, there are several mid-rise blocks of about four or five storeys, mainly apartment complexes built in the last decade.

Suggestion: Reduce hesitation sounds and use more natural collocations. Give one clear reason and an example of when you take photos, using a linking word to connect ideas.

Example: Yes, I often photograph buildings because I find their architectural details fascinating. For example, I usually take photos when I see interesting facades or old colonial-style buildings while walking around the city.

Suggestion: Correct the building name and improve fluency. Begin with a clear topic sentence, then give a specific reason and a linked detail (e.g., what you want to do there). Avoid repetition and keep it to 2–3 sentences.

Example: Yes, I would love to visit the Burj Khalifa in Dubai because it is the world’s tallest tower. In addition, I want to visit the observation deck and try the café there to enjoy the panoramic view.

Suggestion: State your preference clearly, fix prepositions and article use, and provide one specific reason and a linked detail. Keep it natural and concise.

Example: No, I wouldn’t want to live in a tall building because I’m afraid of heights. Instead, I’d prefer a small house near the town center or on the outskirts where it’s quieter and has more green space.

× No, there are no tall buildings in near my home, but I would say there are moderately high tide building which is I think around 4 to 5 stories.

✓ No, there are no tall buildings near my home, but I would say there are moderately tall buildings which I think are around four to five stories.

Errors: 'in near' is incorrect preposition combination; use 'near'. 'tide' is wrong word; use 'tall' or 'moderately tall'. 'building' should be plural to match 'there are'. Also change 'which is I think around 4 to 5 stories' to 'which I think are around four to five stories' to agree in number and position the comment correctly. Suggestion: remove 'in', use 'near', correct word choice to 'tall', make nouns and verb agree in number, and spell out numbers in formal speech if desired.

× Yes, uh, I do take photos of buildings, umm, quite often because I find architectural details very fascinating. So I click photos whenever I am drawn towards those buildings.

✓ Yes, I do take photos of buildings quite often because I find architectural details very fascinating, so I take photos whenever I am drawn to those buildings.

Errors: 'click photos' is a literal translation; native speakers usually say 'take photos' or 'take pictures'. 'drawn towards' is acceptable but 'drawn to' is more natural. Also remove filler words and combine sentences for fluency. Suggestion: use 'take photos' and 'drawn to' and maintain consistent verb phrase.

× Yes, I would love to visit Umm Burj Khalifa. Look at it in Dubai, it is a very high rise building and there is also a cafe in the building which I also want to go to.

✓ Yes, I would love to visit the Burj Khalifa in Dubai; it is a very high-rise building and there is also a cafe in the building that I would like to visit.

Errors: 'Umm Burj Khalifa' contains filler 'Umm' which should be removed. 'Look at it in Dubai' is awkward; place 'in Dubai' after the name. 'high rise' should be hyphenated as 'high-rise' when used as an adjective. 'which I also want to go to' is informal and wordy; use 'that I would like to visit'. Also add definite article 'the' before 'Burj Khalifa'. Suggestion: remove fillers, use correct article, hyphenate compound adjectives, and use 'visit' instead of 'go to' for buildings.

× No, I'm not very fond of tall buildings as I'm very scared of height. I would prefer living in a small house in near the town or even outskirts of the town.

✓ No, I'm not very fond of tall buildings because I'm very scared of heights. I would prefer living in a small house near the town or even on the outskirts of town.

Errors: 'scared of height' should be 'scared of heights' (plural). 'in near the town' is wrong; use 'near the town' without 'in'. 'even outskirts of the town' needs a preposition: 'on the outskirts of town' or 'on the outskirts of the town'. Suggestion: use plural 'heights', remove extra preposition 'in', and use 'on the outskirts of town' for natural phrasing.
