Building— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and organize your answer: start with a clear topic sentence (Yes/No + brief reason), then add one or two specific supporting details. Avoid filler words (uh, well) and repetition. Use linking words (however, although, but) correctly to contrast locations. Include a specific example or brief comparison to make your point vivid.

Ejemplo: No, there aren't any tall buildings near my home in Helsinki. Although my hometown had several high-rises, the area where I live here is mostly low-rise and residential. For example, the tallest building nearby is only five storeys, so the skyline looks very different from the New York skyline I admire.

Sugerencia: Give a clear topic sentence about current habit, then briefly explain past behavior with a specific reason and one example. Avoid vague phrases and hesitations; choose precise vocabulary (architecture, glass façades, modernist style). Keep within 2–3 sentences and use linking words like 'but' and 'because' to show contrast and reason.

Ejemplo: I don't take photos of buildings much anymore, although I did when I was younger. I especially enjoyed photographing modern glass façades because their reflections create interesting patterns; for instance, I used to photograph the mirrored office towers in my hometown during sunset.

Sugerencia: Answer directly naming the building, then add one or two specific reasons why you want to visit and a brief detail about each building. Avoid repetition and fillers. Use linking words (for example, also) and correct names (e.g., "the Statue of Liberty" or "Empire State Building" if you mean those).

Ejemplo: I'd love to visit the Empire State Building in New York because of its historic observation deck and panoramic city views. I also want to see the Milad Tower in Tehran, which is one of the tallest towers in Iran and offers great views of the city.

Sugerencia: Start with a clear, concise statement of your current preference, then give 2 specific reasons supporting it (e.g., privacy, garden space, accessibility). Avoid contradictory phrasing and hesitations. Replace vague words with precise terms (villa, bungalow, ground-floor house) and use linking words (however, because, so).

Ejemplo: I wouldn't want to live in a tall building right now because I prefer ground-floor houses for privacy and outdoor space. For example, a villa with a garden suits my lifestyle better since I enjoy gardening and it's easier to access the street without elevators.

× Uh, well, no, I don't have any tall buildings around my home, but I would love to.

✓ Uh, well, no, I don't have any tall buildings near my home, but I would love to.

Use 'near' instead of 'around' for location is more natural here; this is a preposition choice problem falling under definite article/preposition category (11). Ensure consistent natural phrasing.

× in my hometown we had tall buildings, but knowing here in Helsinki, I didn't encounter any tall buildings around my home.

✓ In my hometown we had tall buildings, but here in Helsinki I haven't encountered any tall buildings near my home.

The original mixes past and present incorrectly. Use present perfect 'haven't encountered' to express experience up to now in Helsinki. This addresses tense and correct verb form (9 and 6). Use 'near' for natural preposition.

× When I was younger I used to do that, but now I don't.

✓ When I was younger I used to take photos of buildings, but now I don't.

The original sentence omits the object 'take photos of buildings', making it vague. Adding the object clarifies the verb 'do that'. This is a present tense/context clarity issue (6). Use explicit phrasing.

× I loved taking pictures of tall buildings architectures, you know, I mean, some kind of specific architectures like buildings includes glasses in their MMM.

✓ I loved taking pictures of tall building architecture, you know, I mean specific styles, like buildings that have a lot of glass in their facades.

'Architectures' is uncountable or nonstandard; use 'architecture' or 'architectural styles'. 'Includes glasses in their MMM' is ungrammatical and unclear. Change to 'that have a lot of glass in their facades'. This corrects adjective/noun usage and clarity (13,11).

× New York State building, uh, is my fantasy.

✓ The New York State Building is my dream to visit.

Buildings usually take the definite article 'the'. Also 'fantasy' is unnatural; use 'dream to visit'. This addresses article usage and word choice (17,13).

× Like I fantasize about visiting New York State building And also, umm, there's another place in my home country, in my home city, Tehran, there's a building called Milad, which is very tall, tall.

✓ I fantasize about visiting the New York State Building. Also, in my hometown Tehran there is a building called the Milad Tower, which is very tall.

Use 'the' before specific building names. Repeat 'tall, tall' is redundant; use single 'very tall'. Clarify name 'Milad Tower' for natural English. This fixes article errors and redundancy (17,26).

× I wanted uh, to live in tall buildings like penthouse but uh, currently no.

✓ I wanted to live in a tall building, like a penthouse, but currently I do not.

'Penthouse' needs an article 'a' and 'tall buildings' should be singular when referring to a type of dwelling. 'Currently no' is incomplete; use 'I do not' or 'I don't'. This addresses past tense/context and article use (5,22).

× I think living in like a villa or some kind of big **** on the ground buildings is much more convenient, comfortable and better for me right now.

✓ I think living in a villa or some kind of large ground-level house is much more convenient, comfortable and better for me right now.

Original uses 'on the ground buildings' which is ungrammatical; 'ground-level house' or 'house on the ground' is clearer. Replace profanity placeholder with neutral term. This corrects pronoun/phrase misuse and improves noun choice (12,11).
