Building— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: 문법과 자연스러운 표현을 다듬고 응답 구조를 명확히 하세요. 주제 문장으로 바로 대답한 뒤, 구체적이고 관련된 정보를 제공하세요. 예를 들어 '60-story' 와 같은 하이픈 사용, 복수·단수 일치, 불필요한 반복 제거가 필요합니다. 또한 'relatively low to me' 대신 더 자연스러운 비교 표현을 사용하세요.

Example: No, there aren't many taller buildings. My apartment is a 60-story building, and most nearby buildings are of a similar height, so I don't consider them particularly tall compared to skyscrapers in larger cities.

Suggestion: 문장이 자연스럽고 의사 전달은 되지만 어순과 관사 사용, 단어 선택을 다듬어 더 정확하게 표현하세요. 한두 개의 구체적 예시를 명확한 연결어(with, such as)를 사용해 제시하면 좋습니다.

Example: Yes, I do. I usually enjoy photographing buildings with interesting architecture. For example, I like to capture structures with unique colors, unusual shapes, or decorative tiles because they stand out in photos.

Suggestion: 내용은 흥미롭지만 문법 오류와 어색한 표현('coming fishing fish')을 고치고 문장 논리 흐름을 개선하세요. 두 개의 아이디어(대형 아쿠아리움 방문 희망, 물 공포증)를 연결할 때 'although'나 'however' 같은 연결어를 사용해 대비를 명확히 하세요.

Example: Yes, I'd love to visit a building with a large aquarium. Although I can't swim and I am somewhat afraid of water, watching fish calms me, so seeing a huge aquarium would be fascinating to me.

Suggestion: 의견 제시는 괜찮지만 이유 제시가 모호하고 'near the land' 같은 표현은 어색합니다. 'for health' 라는 주장도 구체적 근거(예: 신선한 공기, 계단 이용)로 뒷받침하세요. 문장 구조를 간결하게 정리하고 자연스러운 표현을 사용하세요.

Example: No, I wouldn't. I prefer living closer to the ground because I find it healthier — for example, it's easier to access outdoor spaces and use stairs, which helps me stay active. When I lived in Korea I was on the third floor of a four-story building, and I liked being relatively low.

× No they aren't.

✓ No, there aren't any.

The student used 'they aren't' without context; when referring to buildings near home, 'there aren't any' using 'there be' construction is natural. Use comma after 'No'. Suggestion: Use 'There aren't any' to indicate absence of things in a location.

× My apartment building is 60 story building and the other buildings nearby are similar.

✓ My apartment building is a 60-story building and the other buildings nearby are similar.

Count noun 'story' must be singular in a compound adjective with a number and needs a hyphen; article 'a' is required before '60-story building'. Suggestion: Use 'a 60-story building' and hyphenate compound adjectives.

× A 60 story building is relatively low to me.

✓ A 60-story building is relatively low for me.

Use the preposition 'for' to express personal opinion or judgement ('low for me'), not 'to'. Suggestion: Say 'low for me' to indicate a relative personal standard.

× I usually enjoy taking photos of the buildings that look spectacular or have interesting architecture.

✓ I usually enjoy taking photos of buildings that look spectacular or have interesting architecture.

Definite article 'the' is unnecessary when speaking generally about buildings; omit 'the' for general statements. Suggestion: Use no article when referring to things in general: 'photos of buildings'.

× For instance, it is exciting for me to take unique color or shape building or colorful tiles.

✓ For instance, it's exciting for me to photograph buildings with unique colors or shapes, or buildings with colorful tiles.

Original sentence has awkward noun/adjective order and missing prepositions. Use 'photograph' or 'take photos of', and 'buildings with unique colors or shapes' clarifies meaning. List items should be parallel. Suggestion: Make noun phrases parallel and include prepositions: 'buildings with unique colors or shapes'.

× Yes, I'd like to visit a building that has a large aquarium.

✓ Yes, I'd like to visit a building that has a large aquarium.

This sentence is correct; no change needed. Suggestion: None.

× In fact, I can't swim and I'm afraid of water.

✓ In fact, I can't swim and I'm afraid of water.

Sentence is grammatically correct; no change required. Suggestion: None.

× But strangely speaking, whenever I see the coming fishing fish, the fish make me feel comfortable.

✓ But strangely, whenever I see fish coming to feed, they make me feel comfortable.

Phrases 'strangely speaking' and 'coming fishing fish' are unnatural. Use 'But strangely' and more natural clause 'fish coming to feed' or 'fish that are coming', and use correct plural verb 'they make'. Suggestion: Use natural adverb placement and clearer noun phrases: 'whenever I see fish coming to feed'.

× the fish make me feel comfortable.

✓ the fish make me feel comfortable.

Plural subject 'fish' correctly takes 'make'; sentence is correct. Suggestion: None.

× No, I don't.

✓ No, I don't.

This short answer is correct for the question 'Do you want to live in a tall building?'. Suggestion: None.

× In general, I have thought people should live near the ground for health.

✓ In general, I have thought that people should live near the ground for health reasons.

'Have thought' is acceptable but 'have thought people' needs 'that'. Also 'for health' should be 'for health reasons' for natural phrasing. Suggestion: Add 'that' after 'thought' and use 'for health reasons'.

× When I lived in Korea, my apartment building had four stories, but I lived on the 3rd floor.

✓ When I lived in Korea, my apartment building had four stories, and I lived on the third floor.

Use 'and' rather than 'but' since second clause continues information; write ordinal numbers as words in speech. '3rd' is acceptable informally but 'third' is more natural. Suggestion: Use 'and' to connect related facts and write ordinals in words: 'third floor'.

× Likewise, I prefer to stay near the land.

✓ Likewise, I prefer to stay near the ground.

'Near the land' is unnatural when referring to staying low; use 'near the ground' or 'at ground level'. Suggestion: Use 'near the ground' or 'at ground level' to express preference for low floors.
