Building— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and avoid filler words (e.g., "umm"). Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using a linking word. For example, mention exact nearby features and distance or frequency to make the answer more concrete.

Ejemplo: No, there aren’t many tall buildings near my home. Instead, it’s a mostly natural area with mountains and a beach within a ten-minute drive, and a few small shops along the main road.

Sugerencia: Reduce repetition and avoid fillers. Use a clear contrast connector (e.g., "however" or "but") and give one specific example about what you photographed and why. Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Ejemplo: I don’t usually photograph buildings; however, when I visited Chicago last year I joined an architecture tour and took many photos of the skyline and unique skyscraper facades because their design was striking.

Sugerencia: Open with a direct topic sentence and then give specific reasons with linking words (e.g., "because", "for example"). Avoid vague phrases and fillers. Mention a particular feature you want to see or learn about to make the response more informative.

Ejemplo: Yes, I would like to visit the Light of Museum in Korea because I studied architecture in college and I’m interested in how the building uses light. For example, I want to see its illumination techniques and how they shape the interior spaces.

Sugerencia: Give a direct answer and then support it with a clear reason using linking words (e.g., "because", "so"). Replace colloquial phrasing ("think the worst situation") with a more formal reason and be specific about safety concerns or personal preferences.

Ejemplo: No, I would prefer a low-rise building because I worry about emergency evacuation. For instance, in the event of a fire I would feel safer being able to reach the ground quickly and avoid long stair descents.

× There aren't many tall buildings near my home. Umm I think this area is more like natural area and we have a lot of mountains nearby and shops and beach so.

✓ There aren't many tall buildings near my home. Umm I think this area is more of a natural area; we have a lot of mountains nearby, and there are shops and a beach.

Errors: missing article before 'natural area' and 'beach', and missing verb 'are' before 'shops and a beach'. Type IDs: 1 (Singular and plural issue) and 22 (Article errors). Suggestion: Use 'more of a natural area' to sound idiomatic, include articles before singular countable nouns ('a beach'), and include the verb 'there are' or rephrase to ensure sentence has a proper predicate. Also separate items with commas for clarity.

× I usually do not take photos of building, but last time I went to Chicago, which is well known for their buildings, uh, I did a tour of architecture and I did take a lot of building photos because it was so gorgeous and.

✓ I usually do not take photos of buildings, but last time I went to Chicago, which is well known for its buildings, I went on an architecture tour and I took a lot of photos of buildings because they were so gorgeous.

Errors: missing plural form 'buildings' (ID 1), incorrect pronoun 'their' referring to Chicago which requires 'its' (ID 12), awkward verb phrases and past-tense consistency (ID 5). Suggestion: Make 'building' plural when speaking generally, use 'its' for singular nouns like 'Chicago', keep verbs in past tense ('went', 'took'), and use 'they were' to refer back to 'buildings'. Remove filler and incomplete conjunction at the end.

× Well, I want to visit a museum called the Light of Museum in Korea because when I studied architecture when I was in my college, umm, the museum was so unique and they used a light really well. So I wanna try.

✓ Well, I want to visit a museum called the Light of Museum in Korea because when I studied architecture in college, the museum was very unique and used light really well, so I want to visit it.

Errors: unnecessary article 'my' before 'college' (ID 22), awkward phrasing 'they used a light' and pronoun reference 'they' for the museum (ID 12), informal contraction 'wanna' (not appropriate in formal response) and sentence fragment 'So I wanna try' (ID 26). Suggestion: Use 'in college' without 'my', refer to the museum as 'it' (singular), say 'used light' or 'used lighting effectively', and use 'I want to visit it' to complete the thought. Keep tense consistent (past when describing study, present/future for desire).

× I prefer a less tall building because I always think the worst situation and if there's a fire or an urgent situation there then I wanna like go down to a safe place really quickly.

✓ I prefer a less tall building because I always imagine the worst-case scenarios, and if there's a fire or an emergency, I want to get down to a safe place quickly.

Errors: 'less tall' is awkward; use 'a shorter building' (ID 25), informal 'wanna like' and filler 'like' (ID 26), 'urgent situation' should be 'an emergency' for natural phrasing (ID 13). Suggestion: Use 'shorter' to compare height, replace fillers with clear verbs ('imagine'), use 'emergency' for urgent incidents, and use standard 'I want' instead of 'wanna'. This improves clarity and grammatical correctness.
