Are there tall buildings near your home?
Puntuación: 52.0Sugerencia: Be more grammatically accurate, concise, and add a clear topic sentence plus one specific detail. Use linking words and correct verb forms and plurals. For example, start with a direct statement about whether there are tall buildings, then give one or two concrete details (when built, a notable feature) using linking words like “for example” or “in particular.”
Ejemplo: Yes. My city now has a new Xinban district with many tall buildings. For example, several skyscrapers were built in the past three years and they feature glass facades and green terraces, which makes the area look modern and unique.
Do you take photos of buildings?
Puntuación: 44.0Sugerencia: Answer directly and coherently: say whether you take photos, give a clear reason, and include a specific example without hesitations or incorrect place names. Use linking words (because/for example) and avoid filler sounds. Correct geographic errors (Yunnan is in China; Ho Chi Minh City is in Vietnam) and give one concise detail about a building you photographed.
Ejemplo: Yes, I enjoy photographing buildings because I like their shapes and details. For example, on a recent trip to Ho Chi Minh City I photographed the 85 Sky Tower, focusing on its reflective glass and interesting silhouette.
Is there a building that you would like to visit?
Puntuación: 36.0Sugerencia: Give a clear topic sentence naming the building, then explain one or two specific reasons using correct vocabulary and linking words. Fix unclear words (e.g., “the Gherkin” or “the Shard” or “the ‘dumbbell’ building’ ”) and avoid incorrect or confusing references (movies mentioned are inaccurate). Finish the answer with a complete sentence. Aim for specific reasons (architecture, view, historical significance).
Ejemplo: Yes. I would like to visit the Gherkin in London because its unique curved shape and glass exterior are famous. For example, I want to see the panoramic views from the top and study how its design saves energy.
× 'There are so many tall building that have built in recent year.'
✓ 'There are so many tall buildings that have been built in recent years.'
'Building' should be plural 'buildings' to match 'so many'. Also 'have built' is incorrect passive/tense; use present perfect passive 'have been built'. 'In recent year' should be pluralised to 'in recent years' to indicate a period of time.'
× 'They are very new and unique.'
✓ 'They are very new and unique.'
'They are very new and unique.' is grammatically correct. No change is needed. (Included for completeness.)
× 'Yes, I enjoy taking photos of tall buildings because, uh, recently I have been to Yunnan, the Ho Chi Minh City.'
✓ 'Yes, I enjoy taking photos of tall buildings because, recently I have been to Yunnan and Ho Chi Minh City.'
'The Ho Chi Minh City' is incorrect article use and singular/plural mix: city names usually do not take 'the'. Use 'and' to join two places. Also remove filler 'uh' for clarity.'
× 'There is a tall building called 85 Skyscraper I.'
✓ 'There is a tall building called 85 Sky Tower.'
'85 Skyscraper I' sounds unnatural and likely wrong name formation. If the intended name is '85 Sky Tower' or '85 Sky Scraper 1', use the correct proper noun. Also 'called' is fine; ensure correct proper noun and capitalization. If the original name is unknown, provide a likely natural form.'
× 'Yes, the first thought comes comes to my mind is the dumbbell in London because the dumbbell has shield in many movies like Harry Potter or 911.'
✓ 'Yes, the first thought that comes to my mind is the 'Dumbbell' building in London because it has appeared in many movies like Harry Potter and 9/11 films.'
Duplicate word 'comes comes' is an error. The clause needs 'that' to link 'the first thought' and the rest. 'Dumbbell' should be identified as a building name and put in quotes or capitalized. 'Has shield' is incorrect: likely meant 'has appeared' or 'is featured' in movies. 'Or 911' is unclear; use 'and 9/11 films' or name specific film. Adjust for clarity and correct verb choice.
× 'So I.'
✓ 'So I would like to visit it.'
'So I.' is a fragment without a main verb. Complete the sentence with intended meaning, e.g., 'So I would like to visit it.' to make a full clause with a modal verb and object.'
