Building— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and correct grammar; start with a clear topic sentence, then add one specific detail. Avoid redundancy and incorrect articles/prepositions. Use linking words correctly.

Example: Yes. I live in a large city, so there are many skyscrapers near my home. For example, the building next to mine contains apartments, and the one opposite houses several office firms.

Suggestion: Give a direct topic sentence, then explain reasons with specific examples. Fix tense and article usage and avoid filler words. Use a linking phrase to connect reason and example.

Example: Not really. I prefer photographing nature because I enjoy landscapes and skies. For instance, when I travel I often take photos of mountains and sunsets, as they feel more inspiring than urban scenes.

Suggestion: Open with a clear topic sentence and provide specific reasons and a brief personal detail. Correct collocations (preferable destination -> preferred destination) and tense choices.

Example: Yes. I would love to visit the Egyptian pyramids. I have wanted to see them since childhood because I am fascinated by their history and architecture, and I hope to experience the ancient atmosphere in person.

Suggestion: Begin with a clear direct answer, then give one or two specific reasons. Correct grammar (singular/plural, prepositions) and avoid vague phrases. Use linking words to make reasoning logical.

Example: No, I wouldn't. I prefer living in a low-rise house because I am uncomfortable with heights. Also, I like smaller towns where the streets and buildings feel cozier and friendlier.

× Yes, there are many tall buildings near to my home as I am living in a big city where you can see many skyscrapers.

✓ Yes, there are many tall buildings near my home because I live in a big city where you can see many skyscrapers.

The correct preposition is 'near' without 'to' when indicating proximity: 'near my home'. Also 'as I am living' is awkward here; use simple present 'I live' to state a general fact. 'Because' is clearer than 'as' to express reason.

× So next to my building is the one tall building with which is containing apartments and in front of it there is building where you can find many offices.

✓ Next to my building there is a tall building that contains apartments, and in front of it there is a building where you can find many offices.

The original sentence has incorrect word order and unnecessary relative pronouns. Use 'there is a tall building that contains apartments' for correct structure and 'in front of it there is a building' for clarity. Remove 'the one' and 'with which is containing' which are ungrammatical.

× But honestly, I don't like taking pictures of buildings and streets.

✓ But honestly, I don't like taking pictures of buildings and streets.

This sentence is actually correct. The verb + -ing form 'taking' correctly follows 'don't like'. No change needed.

× I prefer to capture the beauty of nature and people.

✓ I prefer to capture the beauty of nature and people.

This sentence is grammatically correct in present tense and needs no correction. 'Prefer to capture' appropriately expresses habitual preference.

× When I'm going abroad, usually I am photographing the nature, the sky and landscape, which is, uh, more interesting for.

✓ When I go abroad, I usually photograph nature, the sky, and landscapes, which are more interesting to me.

'When I go abroad' uses simple present to describe habitual actions. Use 'photograph' (simple present) rather than 'am photographing' for habitual activities. 'Nature, the sky, and landscapes' is parallel and plural where appropriate. 'More interesting to me' completes the comparison; 'for' is incorrect here.

× Definitely there is. The Egyptian pyramids are my preferable destination.

✓ Definitely there is. The Egyptian pyramids are my preferred destination.

'Preferable' means 'more desirable' in comparative contexts; 'preferred' is the correct adjective to say something you prefer. Alternatively, 'my preferred destination' or 'the Egyptian pyramids are the destination I prefer' are correct.

× I'm planning to visit there as soon as possible because since my childhood I dream of seeing them and enjoying beauty and historical atmosphere of those buildings.

✓ I'm planning to visit them as soon as possible because since my childhood I have dreamed of seeing them and enjoying the beauty and historical atmosphere of those monuments.

'Visit there' is awkward; use 'visit them' (the pyramids). The time expression 'since my childhood' requires present perfect 'have dreamed' to show an action continuing to the present. Add articles: 'the beauty and the historical atmosphere' or 'the beauty and historical atmosphere'. 'Buildings' is better as 'monuments' for pyramids.

× I prefer to live in short building or in a house rather than in a tall buildings and skyscrapers as I don't like the height.

✓ I prefer to live in a short building or in a house rather than in tall buildings and skyscrapers because I don't like heights.

Use the indefinite article 'a short building'. 'Tall buildings' should be plural without 'a'. 'Because' is clearer than 'as' for reason in this context. 'The height' is better expressed as 'heights' when referring to fear of high places.

× I have some phobias from it and I prefer to live in more small cities where the atmosphere is more warm and the there are contrasts so short buildings are there.

✓ I have some phobias about it, and I prefer to live in smaller cities where the atmosphere is warmer and there are contrasts, so there are mainly short buildings.

Use 'phobias about' rather than 'phobias from'. 'Smaller cities' is the correct comparative adjective order. 'Warmer' is the comparative form of 'warm'. Remove the extra 'the' before 'there are'. Clarify the last part: 'so there are mainly short buildings' for natural phrasing.
