Building— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more concise and use a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid repetition and filler sounds (uh, um). Mention specific features (e.g., apartment blocks, number of floors) and a brief comment about how they affect you.

Ví dụ: Yes. There are many tall apartment blocks near my home, mostly 10–15 storeys high, because high-density housing is common in Korea. As a result, I rarely see the open sky and sometimes miss having nearby green spaces.

Gợi ý: Start with a direct answer, then give a concise reason with a specific example and use linking words (because, so, therefore). Correct basic grammar (articles, plurals) and avoid repetition.

Ví dụ: No, I don't usually photograph buildings because most of them are plain, grey apartment blocks. Therefore, I prefer taking photos of nature, such as nearby parks and mountains, which I find more visually appealing.

Gợi ý: Give a direct answer naming the building/place, then provide specific details about why you want to visit and a brief linking phrase. Avoid hesitations and be precise (name the building if known).

Ví dụ: Not in Korea, but I would like to visit Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany because its fairy-tale design inspired Disney’s castle. I want to see the towers and interior decorations in person because photos don't capture the scale and atmosphere.

Gợi ý: Answer directly, then give one or two clear, specific reasons with linking words (for example, because, therefore). Avoid vague claims and hedging; if referring to articles, briefly summarize a concrete point from them (e.g., less sunlight, isolation).

Ví dụ: No, I wouldn't like to live in a tall building because research I read suggests high-rise living can reduce access to sunlight and nearby green space, which may affect mood. Therefore, I prefer a low-rise house near a park where I can get fresh air and sunlight.

× Yes, there are so many buildings around me, uh, usually their apartments to live, which is the, which are the most basic, uh, which are the most basic uh type of residence in Korea and because of that, I can't see the sky.

✓ Yes, there are so many buildings around me; usually they are apartment buildings to live in, which are the most basic type of residence in Korea, and because of that I can't see the sky.

Problems: incorrect use of pronoun 'their' (should be subject 'they are' or 'they're') and article/number usage 'type' after 'most basic' is singular but refers to a category; punctuation and preposition needed. Suggestion: use 'they are apartment buildings' or 'they're apartments' and 'type of residence' for correct noun phrase. Also remove filler words and add proper commas or semicolon to separate clauses. Grammar Problem Type ID: 12 and 22.

× I actually I don't have any reason to take picture of our buildings because it's just a Gray and rectangular buildings.

✓ Actually, I don't have any reason to take pictures of our buildings because they're just gray, rectangular buildings.

Problems: missing plural 'pictures' for countable noun (Singular and plural issue) and inconsistent article 'a' with plural 'buildings' as well as capitalization 'Gray' should be lowercase and adjective order/punctuation. Suggestion: use plural 'pictures' and contract 'they're' for 'they are'; place adjectives before the noun and separate with a comma. Grammar Problem Type ID: 1 and 13.

× So I would like to take a picture of nature than buildings.

✓ So I would rather take pictures of nature than of buildings.

Problems: incorrect comparative phrasing 'would like to... than' and missing preposition after 'than' when comparing two objects. Suggestion: use 'would rather' + verb or 'prefer X to Y' and include 'of' before 'buildings' for parallel structure. Grammar Problem Type ID: 25 and 11.

× Umm, in Korea, I don't have building that I want to visit right now, but in another country I have a building that I want to visit.

✓ Umm, in Korea, I don't have a building that I want to visit right now, but in another country I do have a building that I want to visit.

Problems: missing article 'a' before 'building' and slight awkwardness/repetition; subject-verb clarity improved by adding 'do' for emphasis. Suggestion: include 'a' for singular countable nouns and use 'do have' to contrast with previous negative sentence. Grammar Problem Type ID: 22 and 27.

× It's located in Germany and it looks like, uh, uh, Disney castle.

✓ It's located in Germany and it looks like a Disney castle.

Problems: missing indefinite article 'a' before 'Disney castle' and extraneous fillers. Suggestion: use 'a Disney castle' for singular noun comparison and avoid filler repetitions. Grammar Problem Type ID: 22.

× Actually it was uh, kind of motivation about World Disney's castle.

✓ Actually it was kind of inspired by the Disney castle.

Problems: incorrect word choice 'motivation about' and awkward possessive 'World Disney's castle'. Suggestion: use 'inspired by' to express influence and 'the Disney castle' rather than a possessive form; remove unnecessary fillers. Grammar Problem Type ID: 13 and 22.

× Personally, no, uh, I have read about articles, uh, which argue that living in a tall building is not good for our health because, uh, human body is adapted to live on the ground, not a tall building.

✓ Personally, no. I have read articles that argue that living in tall buildings is not good for our health because the human body is adapted to living on the ground, not to living in tall buildings.

Problems: plural/article issues 'living in a tall building' vs general 'living in tall buildings', unnecessary 'about' after 'read', missing definite article 'the' before 'human body', and incorrect verb forms 'is adapted to live' should be 'adapted to living' or 'adapted to live' with parallel structure. Suggestion: use 'read articles that argue' and 'the human body is adapted to living on the ground' and make comparison parallel by repeating 'living' and using plural 'buildings' for generalization. Grammar Problem Type ID: 22 and 6.

× So I agree with those kind of, uh, statement.

✓ So I agree with those kinds of statements.

Problems: mismatch between 'those kind of' (singular) and 'statement' (singular) — should be plural 'kinds' and 'statements', and unnecessary filler. Suggestion: use 'those kinds of statements' or 'that kind of statement' consistently. Grammar Problem Type ID: 1 and 26.

× So I don't want.

✓ So I don't want to live in a tall building.

Problems: sentence without a verb or object; 'I don't want' is incomplete and ambiguous. Suggestion: complete the sentence with the intended infinitive phrase, e.g., 'to live in a tall building', to clarify meaning. Grammar Problem Type ID: 23.
