Part 1
考官
Are there tall buildings near your home?
考生
Yes, of course, there are a lot of tall buildings near my home because my home are locate is located in a residential zone. So there are a lot of houses and apartments around my home and also I can usually see the government Ward's office, which is really high about 10.
考官
Do you take photos of buildings?
考生
Not really because I'm not a fan of taking photos on anything and I also think that buildings are not something that is really unique. Since I'm a Hong Konger, I usually can see many tall buildings, so it's not nothing special for me and I would not take pictures of the buildings.

分數: 58.0建議: 発音と文法の誤りを直し、より簡潔で自然な言い回しを使うこと。具体的には主語と動詞の一致("my home is located")、不要な冗長表現を避ける("Yes, of course" は一度で十分)、数字や形容詞の前後関係を明確にする("about 10 stories high" など)。また、回答は設問に直接答える主題文を最初に置き、必要に応じて1〜2の具体的な詳細を短く付け加える練習をすること。練習方法:音声で自分の回答を録音し、文法と発音の誤りを修正しながら1分以内に自然に答えられるようにする。
範例: Yes, there are many tall buildings near my home. My house is in a densely populated residential area, so there are numerous apartment blocks and a government ward office nearby, which is about ten stories high.
Do you take photos of buildings?
分數: 62.0建議: 二重否定や不自然な前置詞の使用を避け、より簡潔で明確な理由付けをすること。例えば "not a fan of taking photos of things" のように自然な語順に直し、ネガティブ表現("not nothing")は使わない。加えて、理由を一つか二つに絞り、具体的な例(例:忙しい、興味がない、景観より人を撮る方が好き)を短く述べる練習をすること。練習方法:理由を2つに限定して、それぞれを1文で説明するフレーズを作り、流暢に言えるまで繰り返す。
範例: Not really. I'm generally not keen on taking photos, and buildings don't seem very unique to me in Hong Kong because there are so many high-rises. I prefer photographing people and street scenes when I do take pictures.

分數: 55.0建議: 繰り返しや語順、冠詞の誤りを直し、理由と期待する体験を具体的に述べること。例えば "I haven't been to the UK" とし、"a really stunning" は文法的に不十分なので "really stunning buildings and interiors" のように名詞を添える。さらに、訪れたい理由(歴史的価値、建築様式、静かな雰囲気で読書したい等)を1〜2点具体的に挙げ、最後に自分の感想や期待を短くまとめる練習をすること。練習方法:訪問理由を3つ作り、それを論理的に結びつける接続詞(because, so, therefore)を使って30秒以内に話す練習をする。
範例: Yes. I'd love to visit a famous library in the UK, such as the Bodleian Library in Oxford. I haven't been to the UK before, and I'm fascinated by old libraries' architecture and quiet atmosphere, so it would be wonderful to sit there and read historical books.
× Yes, of course, there are a lot of tall buildings near my home because my home are locate is located in a residential zone.
✓ Yes, of course, there are a lot of tall buildings near my home because my home is located in a residential zone.
The original sentence shows a subject-verb agreement error and incorrect verb form: 'my home are locate' mixes plural verb 'are' with singular subject 'home' and uses the base verb 'locate' instead of the past participle 'located'. Use 'is' for the singular noun 'home' and the past participle 'located' to form the passive adjective phrase 'is located'. Suggestion: identify the subject (home = singular) and use 'is' + past participle for passive location descriptions.
× So there are a lot of houses and apartments around my home and also I can usually see the government Ward's office, which is really high about 10.
✓ There are a lot of houses and apartments around my home, and I can usually see the government ward office, which is very tall, about 10 storeys high.
The sentence has structural problems and awkward phrasing. 'government Ward's office' improperly uses possessive and capitalization; 'which is really high about 10' is ungrammatical. Use parallel clauses joined by a comma and conjunction, lowercase common nouns like 'ward', and a clear measurement phrase 'about 10 storeys high'. Suggestion: break into clear clauses and place modifiers next to the nouns they describe.
× Not really because I'm not a fan of taking photos on anything and I also think that buildings are not something that is really unique.
✓ Not really, because I'm not a fan of taking photos of things, and I also think that buildings are not something that is very unique.
The preposition 'on' is incorrect with 'taking photos'; use 'of'. 'Anything' in negative contexts can be acceptable but 'things' reads more natural here. 'Really unique' is less idiomatic than 'very unique' in this context. Suggestion: use correct preposition 'of' with 'take photos' and choose natural adverb/adjective collocations.
× Since I'm a Hong Konger, I usually can see many tall buildings, so it's not nothing special for me and I would not take pictures of the buildings.
✓ Since I'm from Hong Kong, I can usually see many tall buildings, so it's nothing special to me and I would not take pictures of them.
'Not nothing special' is a double negative; use 'nothing special' or 'not special'. 'I'm a Hong Konger' is acceptable but 'I'm from Hong Kong' is more natural. 'The buildings' can be replaced with 'them' to avoid repetition. Suggestion: avoid double negatives and use concise pronouns for clarity.
× Yes, of course I would like to visit the library in the UK because I I haven't been to UK and I always think that the library in UK is a really stunning.
✓ Yes, of course I would like to visit the library in the UK because I haven't been to the UK, and I always think that libraries in the UK are really stunning.
Repetition 'I I' is a typo. 'Been to UK' needs the definite article 'the UK'. The singular 'the library in UK' is awkward; generalizing to 'libraries in the UK' or specifying a particular library is better. Also change 'is a really stunning' (incorrect use of 'a' with adjective) to 'are really stunning'. Suggestion: include articles with country names like 'the UK' and match noun number with verbs/adjectives.
× This is one of my dream to get there and read the books inside A quiet place.
✓ This is one of my dreams: to go there and read books inside a quiet place.
'One of my dream' should be plural 'dreams'. 'To get there' is informal; 'to go there' is better. 'Read the books' is overly specific—use 'read books'. 'inside A quiet place' miscapitalizes 'a' and is awkward; use 'inside a quiet place'. Suggestion: ensure noun number agreement ('one of my dreams'), use infinitive phrases correctly, and fix capitalization.
