Building— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Make your answer grammatically correct, more natural, and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific details. Use correct articles/plurals and link ideas with a short connector.

Ví dụ: Yes. There are a few tall buildings near my home because I now live in a smaller city with several apartment blocks and a couple of skyscrapers close to my house.

Gợi ý: Avoid repetition and correct grammar. Begin with a direct statement, then give a specific condition and an example. Use linking words like 'unless' or 'for example' to connect ideas.

Ví dụ: Not usually; I only photograph buildings when they have distinctive features or unusual colours. For example, I would photograph a historic façade with intricate carvings or a brightly painted modern tower.

Gợi ý: Remove hesitations and give a clear, correctly phrased answer. Name the building accurately, state why you want to visit it, and include one specific detail. Keep it to two or three sentences.

Ví dụ: Yes, I would like to visit the Sagrada Família in Barcelona, Spain. I want to see its unusual architecture and the ongoing construction, which makes it a unique landmark.

Gợi ý: Be concise and use correct grammar and linking. Start with a clear opinion, give a reason with a specific example (e.g. earthquakes), and finish with a short consequence or feeling.

Ví dụ: No, I wouldn't want to live in a tall building because I grew up in earthquake-prone Japan. I worry that evacuation would be harder during a quake, so I feel safer living in a low-rise house.

× Yes, there are few tall building near my home.

✓ Yes, there are a few tall buildings near my home.

The noun 'building' should be plural ('buildings') to agree with 'few' and the verb 'are'. Also use 'a few' to indicate some; 'few' without 'a' implies almost none. Use 'a few' for a small number.

× I currently live in smaller city than my hometown, but there's a few apartment or skyscrapers around my house.

✓ I currently live in a smaller city than my hometown, but there are a few apartments or skyscrapers around my house.

Missing article 'a' before 'smaller city' and plural 'apartments' to match 'a few'. Also 'there's' is a contraction of 'there is' which requires singular; use 'there are' for plural. Ensure subject-verb agreement and correct article use.

× I don't take photos of buildings unless the building has very distinctive features or unique colors.

✓ I don't take photos of buildings unless the building has very distinctive features or unique colors.

No change needed for third person singular here; sentence is grammatically correct. (Included to show checked item.)

× Sometimes building has a very unique futures, so at that time I would like to take photos.

✓ Sometimes a building has very unique features, so at that time I would like to take photos.

Add the article 'a' before 'building' and change 'futures' to 'features' (correct noun). 'Unique' does not usually take 'very' strongly; consider using 'particularly unique' or simply 'unique'.

× I like to visit, uh, sacred church, which name is, uh, the, the sacred familiar in Spain.

✓ I would like to visit a sacred church called the Sagrada Familia in Spain.

Sentence reordered for natural English: use 'would like to' for preference, include article 'a' before 'sacred church', and use 'called' to introduce the name. 'Sagrada Familia' is the correct name; 'familiar' is a mis-transcription. Remove filler 'uh' in written form.

× I heard that this is very unique and distinctive architectures and still in progress.

✓ I heard that it is a very unique and distinctive piece of architecture and is still in progress.

Use 'architecture' as an uncountable noun or 'piece of architecture' for singular; 'architectures' is incorrect. Add 'is' before 'still in progress' for correct verb. 'This' referring to the building is better as 'it'.

× Honestly, I don't want to live in a tall building because I grew up in Japan where lots of earthquake happen frequently.

✓ Honestly, I don't want to live in a tall building because I grew up in Japan where lots of earthquakes happen frequently.

Pluralize 'earthquake' to 'earthquakes'. 'Happen' is fine with plural subject. Consider removing 'frequently' or reordering: 'where earthquakes happen frequently.'

× If I live in the tall building, I feel like it is more difficult to escape from the building when some quake happened, so I'm afraid.

✓ If I lived in a tall building, I would feel that it is more difficult to escape from the building if an earthquake happened, so I would be afraid.

Use the conditional form: hypothetical present/future preference calls for past tense in the if-clause ('If I lived') and 'would' in the result clause. 'Some quake' is not natural; use 'an earthquake'. Keep tense consistent and use modal 'would' for hypothetical situations.
