Building— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and organized: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details. Avoid filler words (uh, um) and repetition. Use correct vocabulary (e.g. "residential buildings" instead of "residents") and a linking word to connect ideas.

Ejemplo: There aren't many tall buildings near my home because I live in a quieter suburb. However, in the center of Ankara there are many tall buildings, mainly office towers and modern residential blocks, which are used for businesses and apartments.

Sugerencia: Good direct answer. To improve, expand slightly with a specific example and a linking word to make it more interesting and natural. Use a varied vocabulary (e.g. "capture" or "façade"). Keep it within 2–4 sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes, I often take photos of buildings when their design interests me. For example, I photographed a historic mosque last month because I liked its ornate façade and the way light fell on the domes.

Sugerencia: Start with a clear topic sentence and then give a specific example. Reduce hesitation and repetition. Use linking words (e.g. "however", "for example") and more precise phrases (e.g. "skyscrapers" rather than "tall buildings/towers").

Ejemplo: I prefer visiting museums, but I would also like to visit a famous skyscraper. For example, visiting the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur would be fascinating because I want to see the skybridge and the city views from the observation deck.

Sugerencia: Give a clear reasoned response with one or two specific reasons and avoid repetition and filler. Use linking words (e.g. "because", "so") and correct grammar ("tall buildings give me anxiety"). Provide a brief contrast to show clarity.

Ejemplo: No, I wouldn't like to live in a tall building because I prefer a villa where I can be close to nature and have a private garden. Living in a house feels more spacious and calm, whereas high-rise apartments often feel crowded and make me anxious.

× Uh, there aren't, but, uh, because I live in Ankara, but in the center of the city, there are lots of tall buildings.

✓ There aren't any near my home, but in the city center of Ankara there are lots of tall buildings.

Incorrect use of 'there' structure and redundant connectors. Use 'There aren't any' to negate existence near home; place the contrasting clause clearly without extra 'but' and ensure word order: 'in the city center of Ankara there are lots of tall buildings.' Suggestion: Use a single contrasting conjunction and keep 'there is/there are' structure concise.

× Uh, I think they called residents in Turkey and they are, uh, buildings for working areas like offices and, uh, for meetings actually.

✓ I think they are called residences in Turkey and they are buildings for working areas like offices and meetings.

Pronoun/reference confusion and wrong verb form 'called residents'. Use 'they are called residences' to name the buildings; use 'are' as linking verb. Also remove redundant 'for' before 'meetings'. Suggestion: Use clear noun labels and parallel structure: 'buildings for offices and meetings.'

× If I like the architecture or the design of the building, I take a picture of the building.

✓ If I like the architecture or design of a building, I take a picture of it.

Repetition of 'the building' and awkward article use. Use 'a building' in conditional general statements and replace repeated noun with pronoun 'it'. Suggestion: Keep conditionals general with 'a' and use pronouns to avoid repetition.

× I, I think I prefer museums, uh, but if I saw a tall building like in Kuala Lumpur or maybe in South Korea, uh, it might be interesting because they're very tall and towers and I, I would love to experience, to visit inside.

✓ I think I prefer museums, but if I saw a tall building in Kuala Lumpur or South Korea, it might be interesting because they're very tall towers and I would love to go inside and visit.

Misuse of 'experience, to visit inside' and awkward phrase 'very tall and towers'. Use 'very tall towers' and the verbs 'go inside' or 'visit' in parallel. Maintain conditional past form 'if I saw... it might be' which is acceptable for hypothetical past; keep verb forms parallel. Suggestion: Use concise verbs and parallel structure: 'go inside and visit.'

× Tall buildings gives me kind of anxiety.

✓ Tall buildings give me a kind of anxiety.

Subject 'tall buildings' is plural so verb must be 'give' not 'gives'. Also include article 'a' before 'kind of anxiety'. Suggestion: Match plural subjects with plural verbs and use appropriate articles.

× So uh, it's, it's, uh, I prefer to look around.

✓ So, I prefer to look around.

Redundant fillers 'it's, it's' create unclear sentence structure. Remove unnecessary hesitations to make a clear response. Suggestion: Omit fillers in writing and streamline sentences: 'So, I prefer to look around.'
