Building— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more fluent and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid fillers (umm, uh), correct grammar (e.g., 'my apartment is in a skyscraper' or 'there are many tall buildings near my home'), and give one brief supporting detail. Keep it to 1–3 sentences.

Ví dụ: Yes. I live in a 15‑storey apartment building, and there are several other tall buildings nearby. The area feels quite urban because of the high‑rise blocks.

Gợi ý: Answer directly, then give a specific example using correct tense and clearer phrasing. Remove hesitations and improve sentence structure (e.g., 'I don't usually take photos, but when I visited Italy I photographed many buildings because they were unique'). Add a short reason to enrich your reply.

Ví dụ: I don't usually take photos of buildings, but when I visited Italy I took many pictures because the architecture was very distinctive and richly decorated.

Gợi ý: Be specific about one building and explain why you'd like to visit it. Use correct grammar (e.g., 'I would like to visit the historic cathedral because...') and avoid listing unrelated places. Provide one or two coherent reasons with linking words.

Ví dụ: I would like to visit the old cathedral in the city because it has impressive Gothic architecture and many historical artworks that tell the town's history.

Gợi ý: Give a clear topic sentence and a specific reason. Eliminate fillers and complete the sentence. You can add one supporting detail such as privacy, facilities, or convenience. Limit to 1–3 sentences.

Ví dụ: Yes, I would prefer to live in a tall building because it offers great views of the city. In addition, high‑rise apartments often have better security and shared facilities like a gym or rooftop garden.

× My apartment is, I think umm, like skyscraper apartments, uh, about umm, 15 floors and uh, my apartments near uh, many.

✓ My apartment is, I think, like a skyscraper apartment, about 15 floors, and my apartment is near many others.

The student used plural 'apartments' when referring to their single apartment and used 'my apartments' incorrectly. Use singular 'apartment' when referring to one unit and 'many others' to indicate nearby apartments. Also add 'a' before 'skyscraper apartment' for correct article usage. Suggestion: Identify whether the noun is singular or plural and match determiners accordingly; use 'many others' to refer to other plural items.

× Umm, actually, I don't tend to take photos of buildings, but in one case I visited to the Italy that time, uh, I had a lot of, uh, pictured of buildings because, uh, these buildings are very unique.

✓ Umm, actually, I don't tend to take photos of buildings, but when I visited Italy that time, I took a lot of pictures of buildings because those buildings were very unique.

Errors: 'visited to the Italy' should be 'visited Italy' (no 'to' with visit + place) and 'pictured' is incorrect; the correct noun is 'pictures' or the verb 'took pictures'. Also tense consistency: use simple past 'visited' and 'took' for a specific past event. Replace 'these' with 'those' to refer to buildings mentioned earlier. Suggestion: Use 'visit + place' without 'to', use 'took pictures' for past action, and match demonstrative ('those') for past references.

× I liked church and mini boutique and also street restaurant because it was very unique and also it's like represent historical.

✓ I liked the church, the small boutique, and the street restaurant because they were very unique and they represent history.

Issues: missing articles before singular nouns ('the church', 'the small boutique'), 'mini' is informal—'small' or 'little' better, 'street restaurant' needs an article, and subject-verb mismatch: 'it was' should match plural subjects ('they were'). 'It's like represent historical' is ungrammatical; use 'they represent history' or 'they represent historical significance.' Suggestion: Use definite articles for specific places, ensure verb agrees with the subject, and choose correct noun phrase like 'represent history' or 'have historical significance'.

× Yes, I prefer to live in a tall building because, umm, first of the most important thing is, umm, the view is, uh, very, umm, lovely and that's why, uh, I tend to live in the.

✓ Yes, I prefer to live in a tall building because the most important thing is the view; it is very lovely, and that's why I would like to live in one.

Problems: awkward phrase 'first of the most important thing is' and incomplete ending 'I tend to live in the.' Use 'the most important thing is the view' and maintain consistent modal/tense: 'I would like to live in one' or 'I prefer to live in one.' Remove filler words and complete the sentence. Suggestion: Use a clear structure: state the main reason, give a brief description, and finish with a complete clause such as 'that's why I'd like to live in one'.
