Are there tall buildings near your home?
Pontuação: 86.0Sugestão: Your answer is clear and relevant with a good topic sentence and specific detail (Taipei 101). To improve, make the response slightly more natural by combining ideas and avoiding filler words like “actually.” Use one concise compound sentence and add a brief reason or feeling to enrich the answer.
Exemplo: Yes, there are tall buildings near my home; I live close to Taipei 101, the tallest building in Taiwan, so I can see it from my window every day, which I find impressive.
Do you take photos of buildings?
Pontuação: 78.0Sugestão: Good direct answer with supporting detail. Improve grammar (plural/singular and articles) and use a linking phrase to explain why. Be more specific about what interests you—shapes, materials, or historical styles.
Exemplo: Yes, I often photograph buildings, especially when I travel abroad, because I’m fascinated by different architectural styles and distinctive shapes, which inspire my own photography projects.
Is there a building that you would like to visit?
Pontuação: 74.0Sugestão: Your answer is understandable but a bit repetitive and has grammatical errors. Combine sentences to avoid repetition and correct phrasing (e.g., “view from up to down” → “see the city from the observatory”). Add a brief reason for wanting to visit to make the response more informative.
Exemplo: Yes — Taipei 101 is a building I’d like to visit properly because, although I live nearby, I haven’t been up to its observatory and I would love to see the panoramic city views from the top.
Do you want to live in a tall building?
Pontuação: 70.0Sugestão: Answer expresses preference but contains grammar and clarity issues. Avoid vague comparisons and correct phrasing (e.g., “more air pollution in the low height”). Use linking words (because, so) and provide one clear reason with a concise explanation.
Exemplo: Yes, I would love to live in a tall building because higher floors usually have cleaner air and better views of the city, which would make living there more pleasant.
× Yes, there are tall buildings near my home. Actually I live near Taipei 101, which is the tallest building in Taiwan and I can see it every day.
✓ Yes, there are tall buildings near my home. Actually, I live near Taipei 101, which is the tallest building in Taiwan, and I can see it every day.
Punctuation and sentence linking: add a comma after 'Actually' and before 'and' to connect independent clauses correctly; this keeps the present simple tense consistent. This is mainly sentence structure and punctuation to improve clarity rather than a verb form error. (Note: This suggestion focuses on clarity; no major grammatical tense or 'there be' changes were required.)
× Yes, I take photos of buildings especially when I travel abroad. Those different design of building really interest me.
✓ Yes, I take photos of buildings, especially when I travel abroad. Those different designs of buildings really interest me.
'Different design of building' is ungrammatical: 'design' should be plural 'designs' when referring to various types, and 'buildings' should be plural after 'of'. Also add a comma before 'especially' when it introduces a clause. Use plural nouns to match the sense of variety. Suggestion: use 'different designs of buildings' or 'different building designs' for more natural phrasing.
× Yes, there is a building I would like to visit. I live near Taipei 101. However, I didn't have a chance to go up to the observatory to view from up to down, so I would like to visit.
✓ Yes, there is a building I would like to visit. I live near Taipei 101. However, I haven't had a chance to go up to the observatory to look down from above, so I would like to visit.
Use present perfect ('haven't had') rather than simple past ('didn't have') because the speaker refers to an experience up to now. Also 'to view from up to down' is unnatural; use 'to look down from above' or 'to view the city from above'. Maintain present relevance with present perfect. Suggestion: use present perfect for life experiences not tied to a specific past time.
× Yes, I would love to live in the tall building because there is more air pollution in the low height and like from higher place the view of the city is more beautiful.
✓ Yes, I would love to live in a tall building because there is more air pollution at lower levels, and the view of the city is more beautiful from a higher place.
Article and noun phrases: use 'a tall building' (indefinite) rather than 'the tall building' when speaking generally. 'In the low height' is incorrect; say 'at lower levels'. 'Like from higher place' is colloquial and ungrammatical—use 'from a higher place' or 'from higher up'. Also add 'and' to connect clauses. These changes improve naturalness and grammatical correctness. Suggestion: use 'a' for non-specific singular nouns and correct prepositional phrases ('at lower levels', 'from higher up').
