Part 1

Are there tall buildings near your home?

Score: 65.0

Suggestion: Improve grammar (plural nouns and articles), make the topic sentence clearer, and add one linked specific detail. Use linking words like 'for example' or 'such as'. Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Example: Yes, there are many tall buildings in front of my house because it faces one of the city's main roads. For example, several bank towers and office blocks line the street, and there are also a few apartment buildings. This concentration of high-rises makes the area feel very busy and modern.

Do you take photos of buildings?

Score: 55.0

Suggestion: Give a clearer topic sentence, correct sentence structure and vocabulary (e.g. 'photos of' and complete sentences), and add a brief reason with linking words such as 'because' or 'so'. Avoid trailing fragments.

Example: Not really — I usually find building photography boring because the shapes are repetitive. Instead, I prefer photographing natural scenery, such as mountains and rivers, because the light and textures change and make each shot unique.

Is there a building that you would like to visit?

Score: 50.0

Suggestion: Combine ideas into clear sentences, fix word order and missing words, and add a specific reason using linking words like 'because' or 'because of'. Mention what you would do there to add detail.

Example: Yes, I would love to visit Taipei 101 because it is the tallest building in Taiwan and offers great views. Also, there are many shops and restaurants nearby, so I could enjoy shopping and try local food after going up to the observation deck.

Do you want to live in a tall building?

Score: 58.0

Suggestion: Clarify the main idea and correct awkward phrasing ('washing down' unclear). Use one or two supporting reasons and linking words like 'because' or 'so'. Be specific about what you like (view, convenience, privacy).

Example: Yes, I would like to live in a tall building because the views from high floors are impressive. For example, I could watch traffic patterns and sunsets from my window, and living above street level would feel quieter and more private.

Grammar

× Yes, there are many tall building in front of my house because it faces one of the city's main roads.

Yes, there are many tall buildings in front of my house because it faces one of the city's main roads.

Plural noun error: 'building' should be plural 'buildings' to match 'many'. This is a singular and plural issue (Grammar Problem Type ID 1). Suggestion: use plural nouns after quantifiers like 'many' and ensure noun number agrees with quantifier.

× Most of them are bank towers and some office and also apartment blocks.

Most of them are bank towers, some offices, and apartment blocks.

Parallel structure and plural noun errors: 'office' should be plural 'offices' to match 'bank towers' and 'apartment blocks', and items should be separated with commas for clarity. This falls under singular and plural issue (ID 1) and sentence structure (ID 26). Suggestion: keep parallel forms and pluralize countable nouns when listing multiple items.

× Not really, because I think it's kind of boring.

Not really, because I think they're kind of boring.

Pronoun reference and agreement: 'it' refers to 'photos of buildings' (plural), so use 'they' and plural adjective agreement 'kind of boring' stays. This is an incorrect use of pronouns (Grammar Problem Type ID 12). Suggestion: ensure pronouns agree in number with their antecedents.

× In contrast, I love to take photos about some natural scenery like mountains or rivers.

In contrast, I love to take photos of natural scenery like mountains or rivers.

Incorrect preposition use: use 'photos of' not 'photos about'. Also 'some' is unnecessary before 'natural scenery'. This is an incorrect use of prepositions (Grammar Problem Type ID 11). Suggestion: use 'take photos of' and omit unnecessary determiners.

× It's more.

They're more interesting.

Sentence fragment and vague pronoun: 'It's more' is incomplete and unclear. A full sentence like 'They're more interesting' clarifies that photos of nature are more interesting. This is a sentence structure error (Grammar Problem Type ID 26) and incorrect use of pronouns (ID 12). Suggestion: complete the comparison by specifying what is 'more' and ensure pronoun number matches the noun.

× Yes, I would love to visit the Taipei 101, which is the tallest building in Taiwan and there is a lot of.

Yes, I would love to visit Taipei 101, which is the tallest building in Taiwan, and there are a lot of shops there.

Article and existential construction errors: 'the Taipei 101' is unnecessary; proper name 'Taipei 101' is used without 'the'. 'There is a lot of' is incomplete and should be 'there are a lot of shops' to match plural 'shops'. This covers article errors (ID 22), singular/plural issue (ID 1), and sentence structure (ID 26). Suggestion: drop 'the' before named buildings and complete the clause with the plural noun and correct verb 'are'.

× Shops in near.

Shops nearby.

Preposition and word order error: 'in near' is ungrammatical; use 'nearby' as an adverb or 'near here'. This is incorrect use of prepositions (Grammar Problem Type ID 11) and sentence structure (ID 26). Suggestion: use 'nearby' or 'near here' to indicate proximity.

× Yes, I would love to live in a tall building because I think standing on a tall building washing down is very cool and I can observe the changing of the roads.

Yes, I would love to live in a tall building because I think standing on a tall building and looking down is very cool, and I can observe the changing traffic on the roads.

Verb form and word choice errors: 'washing down' is incorrect; likely intended 'looking down'. Also need 'standing on a tall building and looking down' with 'and' to connect actions. 'Changing of the roads' is awkward; use 'changing traffic on the roads' or 'changes in the traffic'. This involves verb + -ing form (ID 8), incorrect word choice/adverb/adjective (ID 13), and sentence structure (ID 26). Suggestion: use correct -ing forms for actions and choose appropriate nouns like 'traffic' for observable changes.
