Building— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Make the answer more natural, concise and better structured. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid unclear phrases (“my home is in the short I guess”), reduce repetition, and use one or two specific supporting details with a linking phrase. Also correct grammar (e.g., plural/singular, word order) and use varied vocabulary (e.g., “surrounded by high-rise buildings,” “impressive skyline”).

例: Yes. My neighbourhood is surrounded by high-rise buildings, so my house looks relatively low. For example, there’s a cluster of modern apartment towers just across the street, and I often enjoy watching the evening lights because the skyline looks very impressive.

提案: Respond directly and avoid hesitation sounds. Use correct grammar (e.g., “an ancient building”), reduce repetition (“catchy eye catchy”), and add a linking phrase to explain when and why you take photos. Provide one specific example to make the answer concrete.

例: Sometimes. If I see an interesting building, especially an ancient or uniquely designed modern one, I usually take a photo. For instance, when I visited an old temple last year I photographed its carved facades because the details were beautiful and hard to remember without a picture.

提案: Give a clear topic sentence naming the building or city, improve grammar and chronology (“a few days ago”), and add a reason with one or two specific details (architectural features, historical significance). Use linking words (e.g., “because,” “for example”) to make your answer coherent and avoid repeating the same idea twice.

例: Yes. A few days ago I saw a YouTube video about the Cube Houses in Rotterdam, Netherlands, and I would love to visit them. I’m fascinated by their unusual tilted-cube design and how they create interesting interior spaces, so I’d like to see the architecture and city views in person.

× Actually my home is in the short I guess, and every other buildings are really tall in heights and I really enjoy watching those high buildings.

✓ Actually my home is in the south, I guess, and every other building is really tall and I really enjoy watching those tall buildings.

Errors: 'short' should be 'south' (word choice) but that is not in the list; main grammar errors fitting the list: 'every other buildings' uses plural with 'every', which requires singular 'every other building is'; 'are really tall in heights' is incorrect: use 'is really tall' for singular and remove redundant 'in heights'. Suggestion: use 'every other building is really tall' and use 'tall buildings' or 'tall' as adjective; keep subject-verb agreement by using singular after 'every' and avoid redundant phrases.

× It's really interesting to watch and captivating as well.

✓ It is really interesting to watch and captivating as well.

The contraction 'It's' is acceptable, but not a grammar issue. The sentence is fine but to match formality use 'It is'. The classification used here is 'Verb + -ing form' because 'watch' functions as base verb after 'interesting to'. No change required to -ing form; suggestion: keep 'interesting to watch' which correctly uses infinitive structure.

× It depends.

✓ It depends.

This sentence is grammatically correct in present tense; no correction needed. It correctly answers habit or general truth.

× If I saw a ancient building, then I try to take pictures of those, uh, buildings and sometimes modern buildings are really a catchy eye catchy.

✓ If I see an ancient building, I try to take pictures of it, and sometimes modern buildings catch my eye.

Problems: 'If I saw' mixes past condition with present habitual result; use present simple 'If I see' for real conditional. 'a ancient' uses incorrect article: 'an ancient'. 'try to take pictures of those buildings' should be singular 'it' if referring to a building; or keep 'them' if plural. 'are really a catchy eye catchy' is ungrammatical—correct form is 'catch my eye' or 'are eye-catching'. Suggestions: use 'If I see an ancient building, I try to take pictures of it' or 'If I see ancient buildings, I try to photograph them' and use 'eye-catching' for adjectives.

× So I try to, uh, picture those or one of those buildings as well.

✓ So I try to photograph those or one of those buildings as well.

'Picture' as a verb meaning 'take a picture of' is informal; better verb is 'photograph' or 'take pictures of'. 'Picture those' is awkward; use 'photograph them' or 'take pictures of them'. Suggestion: use clear verb 'take pictures of' or 'photograph'.

× Yes, some days ago I saw a video in YouTube.

✓ Yes, a few days ago I saw a video on YouTube.

'Some days ago' is nonstandard; use 'a few days ago'. Preposition 'in YouTube' should be 'on YouTube' (preposition error but fits present/past context). This is primarily past tense sentence and uses past simple correctly with 'saw'. Suggestion: use 'a few days ago' and 'on YouTube'.

× I am very much captivated by a building in Netherlands.

✓ I am very captivated by a building in the Netherlands.

Preposition/article errors: 'in Netherlands' needs the definite article 'the Netherlands'. 'Very much captivated' is acceptable but 'very captivated' or 'really captivated' is more natural. Suggestion: use 'by a building in the Netherlands' or 'by a building in the Dutch city of X' for clarity.

× I just love their architecture and the building is just awesome in the view.

✓ I just love its architecture, and the building simply looks awesome.

Problems: 'their architecture' refers to plural 'they' but 'a building' is singular, so use 'its architecture' (pronoun agreement—fits ID 12 but primarily adjective/adverb and pronoun). 'awesome in the view' is unnatural; use 'looks awesome' or 'is an awesome sight'. Suggestion: match pronoun to singular noun and use natural adjective phrase.

× The view is really amazing.

✓ The view is really amazing.

This sentence is correct and matches present-tense description; no change needed.
