Part 1

Are there tall buildings near your home?

Score: 64.0

Suggestion: Be more concise and correct grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid repetition and incorrect possessives/plurals (e.g., "my home" not "my homes").

Example: No, there aren’t any tall buildings near my home because it’s a rural area. Most people live in flats, which are convenient and often have shared spaces like playgrounds and balconies, so neighbours can interact easily.

Do you take photos of buildings?

Score: 72.0

Suggestion: Organise your answer: give a clear topic sentence, then 1–2 specific reasons with linking words. Use correct noun forms and collocations (e.g., "photographs of buildings", "architecture-related", "creativity"). Avoid vague phrases like "their universe."

Example: Yes, I often photograph buildings because I study civil engineering and architecture. For example, I focus on their structural details and styles, and taking photos helps boost my creativity and develop design ideas.

Is there a building that you would like to visit?

Score: 66.0

Suggestion: Be specific and correct place names and grammar. Give one clear reason and a brief supporting detail using linking words. Avoid vague endings like "the amazing."

Example: Yes, I would like to visit a building in Korwa (in Kampong Speu province, Cambodia) that I saw online. The architecture is striking, and I want to see its decorative details in person so I can learn about the local design traditions.

Do you want to live in a tall building?

Score: 58.0

Suggestion: Give a clear topic sentence and one or two coherent reasons with correct grammar and vocabulary. Avoid confusing or unrelated ideas (e.g., "planning crops" in a flat) and unclear words ("Archibald"). Use linking words like "because" and "so" to connect ideas.

Example: No, I wouldn’t like to live in a tall building because I prefer a peaceful life on the outskirts. For example, living in a flat there would allow me space for a small garden and a calmer lifestyle, away from the noise and rush of the city.

Grammar

Singular and plural issue

× No, they aren't because my homes it's kind of a rural area and most of the home is a flat.

No, there aren't, because my home is in a kind of rural area and most of the homes are flats.

Mixed singular and plural nouns cause confusion. 'Homes' vs 'home' and 'most of the home is a flat' is incorrect. Use 'my home is' for singular possessive and 'most of the homes are flats' for general plural meaning. Also 'there aren't' matches 'tall buildings' plural from the question. Suggestion: Keep subject number consistent and match verbs and determiners to singular or plural nouns.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× People like living in flat because it is convenient.

People like living in flats because they are convenient.

Pronoun disagreement: 'flat' singular doesn't match general reference; 'it' is unclear for plural idea. Use plural 'flats' and pronoun 'they' to refer to flats. Suggestion: Use plural nouns and matching pronouns when speaking generally.

Incorrect use of quantifiers

× It has a big area or spaces like playground, backyard, balcony and it's very convenient for people to interact with each other.

They have big areas or spaces like a playground, a backyard, and balconies, and it's very convenient for people to interact.

Quantifier and article issues: 'a big area or spaces' is awkward; list items need articles and plural forms. Also 'it' should match plural subject 'they' (flats). Simplify ending to avoid redundancy. Suggestion: Ensure noun forms (singular/plural) and include articles for countable nouns.

Verb + -ing form

× Yes, I love taking photos of building because my major is related to architecture as well.

Yes, I love taking photos of buildings because my major is related to architecture as well.

Countable noun needs plural when speaking generally: 'building' should be 'buildings.' The '-ing' form 'taking' is fine. Suggestion: Use plural for general statements about types of things you photograph.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× It is in civil engineering.

My major is in civil engineering.

Pronoun 'it' is vague; clarify by referring to 'my major.' Suggestion: Use explicit subjects for clarity.

Subject-verb agreement errors

× So I love taking photos of different buildings which has their universe, their uniqueness, their structure, the style.

So I love taking photos of different buildings which have their own uniqueness, structure, and style.

Relative clause subject-verb agreement: 'buildings' (plural) requires 'have' not 'has.' Also 'their universe' is unclear; use 'their own uniqueness.' Suggestion: Match verb number to subject and use clearer nouns.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× It also boosts my creativeness.

It also boosts my creativity.

Word choice: 'creativeness' is uncommon; prefer 'creativity.' Suggestion: Use natural collocations (boost + creativity).

There be issue

× Yes, there is. It is in Corwa, which is located in Cambodia in Symbiote province.

Yes, there is. It is in Korwa, which is located in Cambodia in Sambor province.

Original likely has place-name errors rather than grammar; however 'there is' is acceptable. If keeping original names, ensure correct spelling and that 'in Cambodia in Symbiote province' should be 'in Sambor Province, Cambodia.' The 'there is' structure is fine. Suggestion: Use correct place names and natural word order: 'in Sambor Province, Cambodia.'

Incorrect use of prepositions

× I have seen that in on the Internet and I think that architecture is absolutely amazing and I wish I could have a chance to visit there to learn about the uniqueness and the amazing.

I have seen it on the Internet, and I think the architecture is absolutely amazing. I wish I could have a chance to visit there to learn about its uniqueness and beauty.

Preposition error: use 'seen it on the Internet' not 'in on.' Pronoun and article problems: 'that architecture' should be 'the architecture' or 'the building's architecture.' 'Visit there' is acceptable but 'visit it' or 'visit there to learn about its...' is clearer. 'the amazing' is ungrammatical; use 'beauty.' Suggestion: Use correct prepositions ('on the Internet'), appropriate articles, and clearer noun choices.

Modal verb usage

× I wish I could have a chance to visit there to learn about the uniqueness and the amazing.

I wish I could have a chance to visit and learn about its uniqueness and beauty.

Redundant 'to visit there' and awkward noun 'the amazing.' Streamline the sentence and use appropriate nouns. Modal 'could' is fine for expressing desire. Suggestion: Simplify and use correct nouns.

Third person singular issue

× No I don't, I prefer living in a flat like an outskirt area because I think it's peaceful, relax and calm people, not in the rush at all and there's not too much pressure.

No, I don't. I prefer living in a flat in an outskirts area because I think it's peaceful, relaxing, and calm, not rushed at all, and there's not too much pressure.

Multiple problems: 'like an outskirt area' should be 'in an outskirts area' or 'on the outskirts.' Adjective/adverb form: 'relax' should be 'relaxing.' 'Calm people' is incorrect—should describe the place as 'calm.' 'In the rush' should be 'rushed.' Suggestion: Use correct prepositional phrases ('on the outskirts'), adjective forms ('relaxing'), and describe the place rather than people when intended.

Verb + -ing form

× And also I can spend my life up there and also I can plan crops.

Also, I can spend my life up there and plant crops.

'Plan crops' is unnatural; 'plant crops' is the correct verb collocation. Repeated 'also' is redundant. Suggestion: Use correct verb collocations and avoid repetition.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× Like spending my life like a farmer. Archibald is really meaningful.

Like spending my life as a farmer. That lifestyle is really meaningful.

Use 'as a farmer' instead of 'like a farmer' for role identity. 'Archibald' seems to be a wrong word; likely meant 'agriculture' or 'an agricultural life' or 'that' — replaced with 'That lifestyle.' Suggestion: Use 'as' for roles and ensure correct vocabulary (agriculture, lifestyle).
