Are there tall buildings near your home?
考生
Not really because I live in the countryside, so most of the house near, uh, near my house always uh, maybe two or three floors buildings. So it's not at all.
考官
Do you take photos of buildings?
考生
No, I rarely take photos of everything like even my family, friends or the buildings and food. I don't like to take photos unless the scenery is too beautiful for me too want to keep it.
考官
Is there a building that you would like to visit?
考生
Yes, absolutely. There's a building I really want to visit is the iconic Taipei 101 because although I'm a Taiwanese, I have never been to Taipei 101. So if I have time, I would plan a trip to go there with my friends and family to really see the scenery.
Are there tall buildings near your home?
分數: 62.0建議: Be more concise and fluent: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid hesitations, and give one or two specific details using linking words. Also correct grammar (e.g., plural/singular, word order) and limit to 3–4 sentences.
範例: Not really. I live in the countryside, so most houses nearby are only two or three storeys tall. For example, there are mainly detached cottages and small apartment blocks rather than high-rises, so the skyline is quite low.
Do you take photos of buildings?
分數: 68.0建議: Answer directly, then give a concise reason and an example. Fix phrasing and redundancy (e.g., 'rarely take photos of everything' is unclear). Use linking words like 'because' or 'unless'. Keep it to 2–3 sentences.
範例: Not really. I rarely take photos of people or objects because I prefer to enjoy the moment. However, if I see a truly beautiful scene or an impressive building, I will take a picture to remember it.

分數: 75.0建議: Begin with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition, and use linking words for reasons and plans. Correct small grammar issues (e.g., remove extra 'is', refine 'although'). Provide a specific reason and a brief plan in 2–3 sentences.
範例: Yes. I would love to visit the iconic Taipei 101 because, despite being Taiwanese, I have never been there and I want to see the view from the observation deck. If possible, I will go with my family or friends next holiday so we can enjoy the scenery together.
× Not really because I live in the countryside, so most of the house near, uh, near my house always uh, maybe two or three floors buildings.
✓ Not really, because I live in the countryside, so most of the houses near my home are only two- or three-floor buildings.
The sentence has singular/plural mismatches: 'most of the house' should be 'most of the houses' (plural). 'Near my house' repeated is redundant; combine to 'near my home'. Also word order and structure need adjustment: use 'are only two- or three-floor buildings' to agree with plural subject 'houses'. Use hyphenated compound adjective 'two- or three-floor'. Replace filler words for clarity.
× So it's not at all.
✓ So there are not many tall buildings.
The original 'So it's not at all' is ungrammatical and unclear. The question asked about tall buildings; a present-tense statement about their absence should be 'There are not many tall buildings.' This corrects 'there be' construction and uses present tense to match context.
× No, I rarely take photos of everything like even my family, friends or the buildings and food.
✓ No, I rarely take photos of anything, including my family, friends, buildings, or food.
'Everything' is incorrect here; 'anything' fits negative context. 'Like even' is informal and redundant; use 'including' for listing examples. Maintain parallel structure in the list and separate items with commas.
× I don't like to take photos unless the scenery is too beautiful for me too want to keep it.
✓ I don't like to take photos unless the scenery is so beautiful that I want to keep it.
The clause has incorrect structures: 'too beautiful for me too want to keep it' mixes 'too' and 'to' and wrong verb form. Use 'so ... that' to express degree and result: 'so beautiful that I want to keep it'. Also remove redundant pronoun 'it' if desired, but kept for clarity.
× Yes, absolutely. There's a building I really want to visit is the iconic Taipei 101 because although I'm a Taiwanese, I have never been to Taipei 101.
✓ Yes, absolutely. A building I really want to visit is the iconic Taipei 101, because although I'm Taiwanese, I have never been there.
The original sentence incorrectly combines 'There's' with a cleft structure causing redundancy. Use 'A building I really want to visit is...' or 'There's a building I really want to visit: the iconic Taipei 101.' Also 'a Taiwanese' is awkward; use the adjective 'Taiwanese' without an article. Use 'there' to refer to Taipei 101 instead of repeating the name.
× So if I have time, I would plan a trip to go there with my friends and family to really see the scenery.
✓ So if I have time, I will plan a trip to go there with my friends and family to see the view.
When describing a likely future action conditional on having time, use 'will' rather than 'would' for a real possibility. 'See the scenery' is acceptable, but 'see the view' is more natural for a skyscraper; keep simple infinitive 'to go' and 'to see'.
