× 'Yeah, they are some of high builder around my home.'
✓ 'Yeah, there are some tall buildings around my home.'
'They are' + 'some of' is incorrect for introducing existence; singular/plural of "builder/buildings" is wrong. Use "there are" to show existence and plural noun "buildings". Also use adjective order: "tall buildings". Suggestion: start sentence with "Yeah, there are..." and use plural nouns with quantifiers.'
× 'They are front of front of us.'
✓ 'They are in front of us.'
'front of front of us' repeats phrase and misses preposition "in". Correct preposition for location is "in front of". Keep single occurrence: "in front of us".'
× 'They build high builders and beside us.'
✓ 'They built tall buildings beside us.'
'Builders' (people) is used instead of "buildings" (structures); verb tense/choice also incorrect: context suggests past or general action — use 'built' or 'have built'. Preposition placement: use 'beside us' after noun. Use adjective "tall" rather than "high" for buildings.'
× 'No, I don't have any desire to take photos of higher builder.'
✓ 'No, I don't have any desire to take photos of tall buildings.'
'Higher builder' is ungrammatical: wrong comparative "higher" without comparison and singular "builder" instead of plural "buildings". Use plural noun and correct adjective "tall". "Any" is fine with plural noun.'
× 'I like take photo of the sky or I am someone who admire cat cats so I take a lot of photo about cats.'
✓ 'I like taking photos of the sky, or I am someone who admires cats, so I take a lot of photos of cats.'
'Like' should be followed by verb+ing: "like taking". Plural forms: "photos" and "cats". Subject-verb agreement: "who admires" (third person singular). Use preposition "of" for photos "of cats". Also simplify wording.'
× 'But builders now I never took one.'
✓ 'But I have never taken a photo of a building.'
'Never took' with "now" is awkward; present perfect "have never taken" fits experience up to now. Use correct past participle "taken". Use singular or count noun: "a photo of a building" or "photos of buildings".'
× 'Yes, I wanted to visit Burj Khalifa 'cause everyone go there and I wanted to, I wanted to express, express experience, this feeling of being in high building and the air around my face.'
✓ 'Yes, I want to visit the Burj Khalifa because everyone goes there, and I want to experience the feeling of being in a tall building and the air on my face.'
Mixed tenses: student used past 'wanted' but question asks about a building they would like to visit (present/future intention) so use present 'want'. Use definite article 'the' before 'Burj Khalifa'. Subject-verb agreement: 'everyone goes'. Use 'experience' (verb) rather than noun repetition, correct adjective 'tall', and preposition 'on my face' for air. Remove duplicate words.'
