Building— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more direct and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence that answers the question, avoid repetition and filler words, and use correct tense and prepositions. Add one specific supporting detail and use a linking word to make it coherent.

Ví dụ: Yes. When I lived in Swan City in Gyeonggi-do there were many tall buildings, but now I live in a rural area near the capital and most buildings here are low-rise. Therefore, I don’t see many skyscrapers regularly.

Gợi ý: Answer directly and avoid hesitations. Use present or past consistently and give one clear example of what you photograph and why. Use linking words to connect ideas and specific vocabulary related to architecture.

Ví dụ: Yes, I often photograph buildings because I love architecture. For example, when I visit big cities like Seoul or Chicago I focus on modern facades and structural details, since I’m fascinated by different design concepts and materials.

Gợi ý: Avoid saying it is a 'weird answer' and be respectful and precise with historical facts and tense. Give a concise reason and one specific detail about the building's design that appeals to you. Keep to two or three sentences and avoid informal phrases like 'wanna' or fillers.

Ví dụ: I would like to see the original Twin Towers site in New York because their minimalist design and monumental scale were historically significant. Although the towers no longer stand, I’m interested in visiting the memorial and nearby architecture to understand their impact.

× I see quite a lot of tall buildings near my hometown when I was living in Swan City, uh, in Gyeonggi do.

✓ I saw quite a lot of tall buildings near my hometown when I was living in Swan City, in Gyeonggi-do.

The original mixes present simple 'I see' with a past time clause 'when I was living'; tense consistency requires past tense 'I saw'. Also 'Gyeonggi do' should be hyphenated and standardized as 'Gyeonggi-do'. Suggestion: Use consistent past tense for actions tied to a past timeframe: 'I saw... when I was living...'.

× But umm we are living in right now as the rural area nearby the associated capital city of South Korea has a lot of uh uh, small buildings.

✓ But we are living right now in a rural area near the capital of South Korea, which has a lot of small buildings.

Original sentence has word order and tense awkwardness: 'are living in right now as the rural area nearby the associated capital city' is incorrect. Use present continuous 'we are living' with correct word order and use 'which' to add the relative clause. 'Associated capital city' is unnatural; use 'capital'. Suggestion: Place adverbs ('right now') after the verb phrase and use clear relative clauses: 'we are living right now in a rural area near the capital, which has...'.

× Do you take photos of buildings? Uh, besides my job, I love architecture, so I used to take a lot of photos of the tall buildings.

✓ Besides my job, I love architecture, so I take a lot of photos of tall buildings.

The question asks about habitual action in present; 'used to take' implies a past habit. Replace with present simple 'I take' to match the current habit. Also remove the definite article before 'tall buildings' when speaking generally. Suggestion: Use present simple for current habits: 'I take a lot of photos of tall buildings.'

× When I get to the big cities like Seoul or, uh, New York City or Chicago, I've been, uh, uh, I've been interested in so, so many concepts and designs and other characteristics of new, umm umm, forms of.

✓ When I go to big cities like Seoul, New York City, or Chicago, I become interested in many concepts, designs, and other characteristics of new forms.

Mixes tenses and has repetitive fillers and an incomplete ending. 'When I get to' is okay but 'go to' is more natural; 'I've been interested' suggests continuous past experience but here a general reaction is better as 'I become interested' or 'I am interested'. The phrase ended abruptly; complete it as 'new forms'. Suggestion: Use simpler structure and consistent tense: 'When I go to big cities... I become interested in many concepts, designs, and other characteristics of new forms.'

× This is a weird answer, but I want to visit the twin tower which were located in the New York City which had been destroyed by the terrorism.

✓ This is a weird answer, but I want to visit the Twin Towers which were located in New York City and were destroyed by terrorism.

Problems: 'twin tower' should be plural 'Twin Towers'; 'which were located in the New York City' has unnecessary definite article 'the' and incorrect capitalization; 'had been destroyed by the terrorism' uses past perfect unnecessarily and 'the terrorism' is unidiomatic. Use simple past passive 'were destroyed by terrorism'. Suggestion: Use correct noun number, remove unnecessary articles, and use simple past passive for a past event: 'Twin Towers... were destroyed by terrorism.'

× But this is the only building that I wanna see with my bare eyes because this the concept, this design of the building is so unique and.

✓ But this is the only building that I want to see with my own eyes because the concept and design of the building are so unique.

Problems: 'wanna' is informal; use 'want to'. 'With my bare eyes' is awkward; 'with my own eyes' is natural. The clause 'because this the concept, this design of the building is so unique and.' is ungrammatical and incomplete; combine subjects 'concept and design' and use plural verb 'are'. Remove trailing 'and'. Suggestion: Use formal forms in test context, combine related nouns as the compound subject, and ensure sentence completion: '...because the concept and design of the building are so unique.'
