Are there tall buildings near your home?

No, there are no tall buildings near my home because I live in a very small town. I think the population is about thousands people, so we only have ordinary houses. Maybe we have a church. This is a pretty tall building, but yeah.

Do you want to live in a tall building?
수험생
No, I think I prefer having my own house because it's just a thing you want when you're living a small town. I want to design my own house. I want to have a big garden and that's not possible in a tall building. So that's why I prefer a house for me.

× I think the population is about thousands people, so we only have ordinary houses.
✓ I think the population is about a few thousand people, so we only have ordinary houses.
The noun 'people' with a numeric quantifier requires a number or phrase like 'a few thousand'. 'Thousands people' is incorrect word order and missing an article/quantifier. Use 'a few thousand people' or 'thousands of people'. Suggestion: use 'a few thousand people' or 'thousands of people' to show quantity correctly.
× They're look really beautiful.
✓ They look really beautiful.
Using 'they're' (they are) plus the base verb 'look' creates a grammatical conflict; present continuous would be 'they're looking', but the intended meaning is a general state so use simple present 'they look'. Suggestion: use simple present 'they look' for general descriptions, or 'they're looking' if describing a temporary action.
× I also love taking photos of churches, especially from Notre Dame in Paris.
✓ I also love taking photos of churches, especially of Notre Dame in Paris.
Use 'of' to indicate the object being photographed. 'From Notre Dame' suggests origin or vantage point, which is not intended. Suggestion: use 'photos of Notre Dame' when referring to photographing that building.
× Yes there is. I would love to visit the Empire State Building in New York because I love New York.
✓ Yes, there is. I would love to visit the Empire State Building in New York because I love New York.
Missing comma after 'Yes' is punctuation rather than grammar type; however 'Yes there is' is acceptable but improved with a comma. No correction required for grammar beyond punctuation. Suggestion: add a comma after introductory 'Yes' for natural speech punctuation.
× I just I just like New York and the Empire State Building is one in one of my favorite episodes, Pretty Little Liars.
✓ I just, I just like New York, and the Empire State Building was in one of my favorite TV shows' episodes, Pretty Little Liars.
The sentence has repetition and incorrect structure: 'is one in one of my favorite episodes' is ungrammatical. If the building appeared in an episode, use past simple 'was in'. Also clarify that Pretty Little Liars is a TV show and use possessive 'TV show's episodes' or rephrase 'an episode of Pretty Little Liars.' Suggestion: simplify to 'the Empire State Building was in an episode of my favorite TV show, Pretty Little Liars.'
× No, I think I prefer having my own house because it's just a thing you want when you're living a small town.
✓ No, I think I prefer having my own house because it's just the kind of thing you want when you're living in a small town.
Use 'in a small town' (preposition 'in' for location). Also 'a thing' is vague; 'the kind of thing' is more natural. Suggestion: use 'living in a small town' and 'the kind of thing you want' for natural phrasing.
× So that's why I prefer a house for me.
✓ So that's why I prefer to have a house.
'A house for me' is awkward; prefer the infinitive phrase or 'a house for myself' (reflexive). Using 'prefer to have a house' is clearer and more natural. Suggestion: use 'I prefer to have a house' or 'I prefer a house for myself'.
