Building— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Make your answer more grammatical, concise and coherent. Start with a clear topic sentence, correct grammar (singular/plural, articles, verb forms) and avoid unnecessary words. Add one specific detail about proximity or appearance and use a linking word to connect ideas.

Ví dụ: Yes. I live in downtown Taipei, so there are several skyscrapers near my home. For example, Taipei 101, which has 101 floors, is only about 20 minutes away by foot from my apartment.

Gợi ý: Be more natural and avoid colloquial or unclear phrases. Give a concise reason and a contrasting detail using linking words. Replace slangy expressions (gonna, stand stills) with standard language and keep to at most 3–4 sentences.

Ví dụ: Not usually. I prefer photographing food and the sky because buildings seem permanent and unchanging. However, I will take a photo of a building if it has interesting architecture or during special lighting conditions.

Gợi ý: Give a direct personal response rather than speaking for everyone. Finish your idea and use specific reasons to support your preference. Avoid incorrect or vague words like “majoristic” and include linking words to show reasons or examples.

Ví dụ: Yes, I would like to visit the White House because it is the official residence of the US president and has historic rooms and art. For example, I am interested in seeing the Oval Office and learning more about American history there.

Gợi ý: Correct grammar and pronunciation-related spelling in writing, and give a clear, concise reason with linking words. Start with a direct answer, then explain briefly with a specific experience or example. Avoid fragmented sentences and repetition.

Ví dụ: No, I would not like to live in a tall building because Taiwan is prone to earthquakes. For instance, when I lived on the fifth floor I experienced several strong tremors and felt unsafe, so I prefer lower floors for peace of mind.

× Yes, living in the downtown area in Taipei.

✓ Yes, I live in the downtown area in Taipei.

This sentence lacks a subject and a finite verb, making it a sentence fragment. Use the subject 'I' and the present tense verb 'live' to form a complete sentence that fits the context. Suggestion: Always include a subject and a conjugated verb (e.g., 'I live', 'She works').

× There are several skyscraper nearby my house and the most famous one called Taipei 101 which hides 101 stories.

✓ There are several skyscrapers near my house, and the most famous one is called Taipei 101, which has 101 stories.

'Skyscraper' should be plural 'skyscrapers' to match 'several'. 'Nearby' is an adverb; use the preposition 'near' before 'my house'. The clause describing the building needs the verb 'is called' and 'has' is the correct verb for possessing stories. Also add commas for clarity. Suggestion: Match plural nouns with quantifiers and use correct prepositions and verbs in relative clauses.

× Actually not. I guess I am just a very rational person.

✓ Actually, no. I guess I am just a very practical person.

'Actually not' is informal and awkward here; use 'Actually, no.' Also 'rational' is not incorrect grammatically but 'practical' fits better for explaining photographic preferences. This is a word-choice advisory rather than strict grammar, but the sentence needed punctuation. Suggestion: Use 'Actually, no.' for clearer negation and choose adjectives that match intended meaning.

× Buildings are gonna stand stills for like centuries or at least decades.

✓ Buildings are going to stand still for centuries, or at least decades.

'Gonna' is informal spoken language; use 'going to' in written form. 'Stills' is incorrect; 'still' is the correct adjective. 'For like' is colloquial; use 'for' or 'for about'. Also 'centuries' already implies plural so 'for centuries' is sufficient. Suggestion: Use standard forms ('going to') and correct adjective form ('still'), avoid filler 'like' in formal corrections.

× So I do take photo of food, of sky, but I do not take photos of buildings.

✓ So I do take photos of food and of the sky, but I do not take photos of buildings.

'Photo' should be plural 'photos' to match the general activity. 'Sky' as a general noun usually takes the definite article 'the sky'. Use parallel structure: 'photos of food and of the sky'. Suggestion: Keep noun forms consistent and use 'the' with general natural phenomena like 'the sky'.

× Is there a building that you would like to visit?

✓ Is there a building you would like to visit?

Original question is already grammatical; minor optional omission of 'that' improves naturalness. No correction required for grammar, only provide a natural alternative. Suggestion: You can omit 'that' in spoken English for a smoother sentence.

× Yes, I believe that the majority of people on the earth would love to have a chance to visit the White House.

✓ Yes, I believe that the majority of people on earth would love to have the chance to visit the White House.

Use 'on earth' (more natural) and 'the chance' rather than 'a chance' in this context; both are possible but 'the chance' is more natural here. This is a minor phrasing improvement rather than a strict grammatical error. Suggestion: Prefer 'on earth' and 'the chance' to sound more natural.

× It's not only the political center of the United States, but it's also a very majoristic and.

✓ It's not only the political center of the United States, but it's also very symbolic and important.

'Majoristic' is not a standard English adjective. The sentence also ends abruptly with 'and.' Replace with valid adjectives like 'symbolic' and 'important' and remove the trailing conjunction. Suggestion: Use standard adjectives ('symbolic', 'important') and complete the coordinating clause without trailing 'and'.

× Do you want to live in a tall building?

✓ Do you want to live in a tall building?

This question is already grammatically correct, so no change needed. It correctly uses the base verb form after 'do'. Suggestion: Keep as is.

× As a Taiwanese, I have been fully aware of the. Gary of Earthquakes I lived in about 5 floors and I was terrified for several times, so I would not like to living in a taller building.

✓ As a Taiwanese, I have been fully aware of the danger of earthquakes. I lived on about the fifth floor and was terrified several times, so I would not like to live in a taller building.

Multiple errors: 'aware of the.' is incomplete; 'Gary of Earthquakes' is likely 'danger of earthquakes' with capitalization errors. Use 'danger' not 'Gary'. 'Lived in about 5 floors' should be 'lived on about the fifth floor' or 'lived on about five floors' is awkward—use 'the fifth floor' for clarity. 'Terrified for several times' should be 'terrified several times' (no 'for'). 'Would not like to living' should be 'would not like to live' (infinitive after 'like to'). Suggestion: Correct vocabulary ('danger'), use appropriate prepositions ('on the fifth floor'), remove unnecessary 'for' with 'several times', and use the infinitive 'to live' after 'would like to'.
