Part 1

Are there tall buildings near your home?

Score: 68.0

Suggestion: Be more concise and correct grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid filler words (umm), and use correct articles and plural forms. Add one specific detail about the area to enrich the answer and use a linking word to show contrast or consequence.

Example: No, there aren't any tall buildings near my home. I live in the countryside, so most houses are only two or three storeys, which makes the area quiet and peaceful. For example, there is a small park nearby where people often walk their dogs.

Do you take photos of buildings?

Score: 64.0

Suggestion: Answer directly then give specific reasons and examples. Replace vague phrases and incorrect collocations (e.g., 'modern architectures', 'nature sceneries', 'red landscapes') with natural expressions. Use one linking word to connect preferences and reasons, and avoid repeating words.

Example: Not really. I don't usually photograph buildings or modern architecture; instead, I prefer taking pictures of natural scenes such as rivers, mountains and forests because they feel calmer. For example, last weekend I photographed a riverside at sunset and found the warm colors very relaxing.

Is there a building that you would like to visit?

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: Give a clear topic sentence then add concise supporting details with correct grammar. Avoid repetition ('the the') and incorrect phrases ('at the night', 'light side'). Mention specific reasons why it appeals to you and one concrete detail about when or how you would visit.

Example: Yes, I'd love to visit the Eiffel Tower; it's on my bucket list. I've seen it in many films and it looks very romantic, especially at night when it's illuminated. I hope to visit during the evening to see the lights and take photos from the Trocadéro.

Do you want to live in a tall building?

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: Organize your answer: state your current preference, give a brief comparison with specific reasons, and avoid fillers and repetition. Correct grammar (e.g., 'I used to live in a tall building', 'apartments are more convenient and safe than living in the countryside'). Use a linking word to compare.

Example: Yes, I would. Although I currently live in a house, I used to live in an apartment building. In Korea, apartments are generally more convenient and safe than countryside homes because they are close to shops and public transport.

Grammar

There be issue

× No, actually there aren't umm, tall buildings near my home.

No, actually there aren't any tall buildings near my home.

Use 'there are not any' or 'there aren't any' when negating the existence of countable plural nouns. The original omitted 'any', which is required in negative existential sentences with plural nouns. Suggestion: Use 'there aren't any' for negative existence with plural nouns.

Sentence structure errors

× I live in countryside so there are only two or three stories, umm, and it makes really quiet and peaceful.

I live in the countryside, so most buildings are only two or three stories high, and it makes the area really quiet and peaceful.

Missing article 'the' before 'countryside' and unclear subject for 'it makes'. Also 'stories' needs 'high' to describe building height. Sentence structure improved by specifying subject 'most buildings' and 'the area'. Suggestion: Use 'the countryside' and link clauses with commas and clear subjects.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× I don't usually take photos of buildings and modern architectures.

I don't usually take photos of buildings or modern architecture.

'Architecture' is an uncountable noun, not 'architectures'. Also use 'or' to link similar items. 'Modern architecture' is the correct collocation. Suggestion: Use uncountable form 'architecture' and 'or' between alternatives.

Verb + -ing form

× I prefer photographing nature sceneries such as river, mountains or forests.

I prefer photographing natural scenery such as rivers, mountains, or forests.

'Scenery' is uncountable and 'nature sceneries' is incorrect. Use 'natural scenery'. Also plural nouns like 'rivers' need plural form and add commas in list. Suggestion: Use 'natural scenery' and pluralize specific countable items.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× And I find umm the red landscapes make make feel relaxing.

And I find that red landscapes make me feel relaxed.

Duplicate 'make' is an error. Use 'make me feel relaxed' or 'are relaxing'. 'Relaxed' (adjective) or 'relaxing' (adjective describing landscapes) both possible; here 'make me feel relaxed' fits. Suggestion: Remove duplicate word and include the appropriate object 'me' and correct adjective.

Sentence structure errors

× I've seen many times on the movies and the the Eiffel Tower and it looks like very romantic especially at the night.

I've seen the Eiffel Tower many times in movies, and it looks very romantic, especially at night.

Incorrect preposition 'on the movies' should be 'in movies'. Duplicate 'the the'. 'Looks like very romantic' is incorrect; use 'looks very romantic'. 'At the night' should be 'at night'. Suggestion: Use 'in movies', remove duplicates, and correct adjective placement.

Incorrect use of the definite article

× The light side is very beautiful.

The lights are very beautiful at night.

'The light side' is vague and likely incorrect collocation. If referring to the Tower's lights, use 'the lights' and add time reference 'at night' for clarity. If meaning the illuminated side, say 'the illuminated side is beautiful'. Suggestion: Specify what 'light' refers to and use correct noun ('lights' or 'illuminated side').

Present tense issue

× Yes I do. Umm actually I live in the house but I used to live in the in the tall building and in Korea apartments is living apartment is very convenient and safe rather than leaving countryside.

Yes, I do. Actually I live in a house now, but I used to live in a tall building. In Korea, apartments are very convenient and safe compared to living in the countryside.

Multiple errors: missing commas, repeated 'in the', incorrect article 'the house' should be 'a house' for general statement, awkward phrase 'in Korea apartments is living apartment is very convenient' has subject-verb agreement errors and wrong word order. Use plural 'apartments are' and 'compared to living in the countryside' for comparison. Suggestion: Break into clear sentences, fix articles ('a house'), ensure subject-verb agreement, and use 'compared to' for comparisons.
