Building— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more fluent and avoid filler words (uh). Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using a linking word. Keep it within 3–4 sentences and use varied vocabulary (e.g., ‘skyscraper’, ‘modern design’, ‘well-lit’).

Ejemplo: Yes. There is a tall apartment building near my home. It’s a modern high-rise of about 20 floors, with a glass facade and balconies. In the evenings it looks especially impressive because the windows are well-lit and the building stands out against the skyline.

Sugerencia: Answer directly, use clear tense and structure, and reduce hesitations. Provide one or two specific reasons and use linking words like ‘because’ or ‘so’. Replace vague phrases with precise descriptions (e.g., ‘I photograph it at dusk when the lights are on’).

Ejemplo: Yes, I sometimes take photos of that apartment building because its lights create a beautiful effect at dusk. For example, I often capture the glowing windows and reflections on the glass facade, which make the building look especially attractive in photos.

Sugerencia: Give a clear, grammatically correct response with a reason and one specific detail. Avoid repetition and filler words. Use linking words such as ‘because’ and ‘for example’. Clarify what you mean (e.g., ‘I’ve only seen it from outside’), and state what you want to do there.

Ejemplo: Yes, I would like to visit that apartment building because I have only seen it from outside. For example, I want to go inside to see the interior design and enjoy the view from the upper floors, especially the 20th floor if possible.

× Uh, yes, there is a tall apartment building near my home.

✓ Uh, yes, there is a tall apartment building near my home.

No correction needed; sentence correctly uses 'there is' for a singular noun. Keep as is.

× It is the new high rise with about 20 floors and it looks so modern and uh, cool.

✓ It is a new high-rise with about 20 floors and it looks very modern and cool.

Use 'a' instead of 'the' because the speaker introduces the building; 'high-rise' is hyphenated when used as a noun or adjective; 'so very' is redundant — use 'very' for emphasis and remove filler 'uh'.

× Uh, yes, uh, sometime I usually take a photo with that apartment because in the evening they usually, uh, turn on the light and it and look in the outside.

✓ Yes, sometimes I usually take a photo of that apartment because in the evening they usually turn on the lights and it looks nice from the outside.

Replace 'sometime' with 'sometimes' (frequency adverb). Use 'take a photo of' (correct preposition). 'Turn on the light' should be plural 'turn on the lights' for a building, and 'it and look in the outside' is ungrammatical — change to 'it looks nice from the outside'. Remove filler words and keep adverbs in correct positions.

× So that apartment is so very pretty and, uh.

✓ So that apartment is very pretty.

Remove redundant 'so very' — 'very' is sufficient. The sentence fragment ending with 'and, uh' should be completed or truncated; here we truncate to a correct, complete sentence.

× Yeah, if I have a chance, I want to visit because, uh, I think I, I've, I see is very torn with 20 floor and uh, I want to go inside to visit.

✓ Yeah, if I have the chance, I would like to visit because I think I have seen it; it is a tall building with 20 floors and I want to go inside to visit.

Use 'the chance' (idiomatic) and 'would like' for polite conditional. Clean up tense and pronoun errors: 'I, I've, I see' is incorrect — use 'I have seen it' if referring to previous sighting. 'Very torn' is incorrect word choice; likely 'torn' intended as 'tall' or 'towering' — replace with 'tall building'. Use '20 floors' (plural) and complete the sentence. Remove filler 'uh' and ensure correct modal/conditional form.
