Building— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be careful with grammar and pronunciation, and make your answer more concise with a clear topic sentence and one or two specific details. Use correct subject–verb agreement (e.g., "many of them are high-rise"), correct word forms ("floors"), and avoid repetition. Add a linking phrase to connect ideas (e.g., "for example" or "which means").

Example: Yes. There are many tall buildings near my home; most are high‑rise towers with over 30 floors, so the skyline looks very modern. For example, Calgary’s downtown has several skyscrapers clustered around the river, which makes the city feel quite contemporary.

Suggestion: Make your response more natural and avoid repeating the same idea. Start with a direct statement, then give one or two specific reasons or an example. Use linking words like "because" or "for example" and choose varied vocabulary (e.g., "architecture", "cityscape").

Example: Yes, I often photograph buildings because I love Calgary’s architecture and cityscape. For example, I like to capture the contrast between the glass skyscrapers and the older brick buildings, especially at sunset when the light looks best.

Suggestion: Be specific and concise. Give one clear reason why you would like to visit and include a detail to support it. Avoid filler words ("uh", "again and again") and use varied adjectives (e.g., "spectacular" instead of "too good").

Example: Yes. I would like to visit the Calgary Tower because it offers panoramic views of the city and the nearby mountains. I have been there before and I enjoy going again, especially at sunset when the city lights start to appear.

Suggestion: Structure your reply with a clear topic sentence and one supporting detail. Correct grammar: use present perfect or present simple consistently ("I have always wanted" or "I live"). Avoid awkward phrases like "A-21 floor"—say "on the 21st floor". Use linking words like "because" to give a reason.

Example: Yes, I have always wanted to live in a tall building, and I currently do — I live on the 21st floor. I enjoy the great views and the sense of privacy, which is why high‑rise living suits me well.

× Yes there are lots of tall buildings nearby my home, many of them I are high rise and with over 30 floor so the skyline looks very modern.

✓ Yes, there are lots of tall buildings near my home; many of them are high-rise with over 30 floors, so the skyline looks very modern.

Errors: incorrect preposition 'nearby my home' should be 'near my home'; extra pronoun 'I' is incorrect; 'high rise' should be hyphenated as 'high-rise' when used as an adjective; 'over 30 floor' needs plural 'floors'. Suggestion: use 'near' for location with 'my home', remove the extra 'I', use hyphen for compound adjectives and ensure noun plurality matches number.

× And my city is Calgary so Calgary is more popular for for toll buildings.

✓ My city is Calgary, and Calgary is more known for tall buildings.

Errors: redundant conjunction 'And' at start can be kept but comma needed; 'more popular for for' repeats 'for' and uses awkward structure; 'toll' is misspelling of 'tall'. Suggestion: say 'more known for tall buildings' or 'famous for tall buildings' and fix spelling.

× Yes, I usually take photos of buildings because I love my city Calgary and there are lots of tall buildings and the view is most important for me.

✓ Yes, I usually take photos of buildings because I love my city, Calgary, and there are lots of tall buildings; the view is very important to me.

Errors: punctuation and rhythm/choice of adverb: 'most important for me' is unnatural; use 'very important to me'. Suggestion: add commas around appositive 'Calgary', use semicolon to separate clauses, and 'to me' with appropriate modifier.

× So my city's view of the building is too good and I love the tall buildings.

✓ So my city's view of the buildings is very good, and I love the tall buildings.

Errors: 'the building' is too specific; should be plural 'the buildings' or 'its skyline'; 'too good' implies excessive—use 'very good'. Suggestion: choose correct article and number and prefer 'very good' for positive description.

× Yes, there is a most popular building in my city.

✓ Yes, there is a very popular building in my city.

Errors: 'a most popular' is unidiomatic; 'most popular' is a superlative requiring 'the' if used (the most popular). Suggestion: use 'a very popular building' or 'the most popular building' depending on meaning.

× It's called uh, Calgary Tower and I often visit over there and I like to visit there again and again.

✓ It's called the Calgary Tower, and I often visit it; I like to visit it again and again.

Errors: missing definite article 'the' before 'Calgary Tower'; incorrect use of 'over there' and 'visit there'—use direct object pronoun 'it' for buildings. Suggestion: include 'the' for named landmarks and use 'visit it' rather than 'visit there'.

× The view of that building is too good.

✓ The view from that building is excellent.

Errors: 'too good' suggests excessive quality; 'view of that building' likely means 'view from that building'. Suggestion: use 'excellent' or 'very good' and correct prepositional phrase to 'view from'.

× It's a, it's also called skyline building and mostly people like to visit there again and again.

✓ It's also called a skyline building, and many people like to visit it again and again.

Errors: awkward phrasing 'It's a, it's also called'; missing article before 'skyline building'; 'mostly people' should be 'many people'; 'visit there' should be 'visit it'. Suggestion: streamline sentence, add articles, and use correct pronouns.

× Yes, I always wanted to live in a tall building and still I am living in a tall building.

✓ Yes, I have always wanted to live in a tall building, and I am still living in one.

Errors: tense mismatch—'always wanted' with present reality should be present perfect 'have always wanted'; awkward 'still I am living'—better 'I am still living'. Suggestion: use present perfect for experiences continuing to present and use 'one' as a pronoun for a previously mentioned noun.

× I am living in a A-21 floor and the view from my house it's too good.

✓ I am living on the 21st floor in apartment A, and the view from my flat is excellent.

Errors: preposition for floors is 'on' not 'in' (for floor level); 'a A-21 floor' is ungrammatical—use 'the 21st floor' or 'on floor A-21' depending on numbering; 'my house it's too good' has extra pronoun and 'too good' again. Suggestion: use 'on the 21st floor' and remove redundant 'it', choose 'excellent' or 'very good'.

× So I like to live in tall buildings.

✓ So I like living in tall buildings.

Errors: verb form 'like to live' is not wrong but 'like living' is more natural when expressing preference generally. Suggestion: use gerund for habitual preference: 'I like living in tall buildings.'
