I like to buy shoes. I will buy different kind of shoes for every month. For example I would buy trousers or I would buy boots.

Yes, I would buy shoes online because the price of the shoes online would be cheaper than you buy in actual store. Buying online would save me the time to go to the actual store and make me feel that I can spend less money.

Examiner

How much money do you usually spend on shoes?

Candidate

For one pair of shoes I usually spend 1000 to $2000 but it would depends on what is the brand of the shoes. For example if I'm going to buy suppers then the price would be like $100 and if I'm going to buy boots to wear in longed period it would be like $5000.

Examiner

Which do you prefer, fashionable shoes or comfortable shoes?

Candidate

I prefer comfortable shoes because I like to walk a lot and if I'm wearing the fashionable shoes, sometimes those kind of shoes aren't really comfortable and people can run with it. So I usually buy sneakers or boots to go out with my friends and make me feel cozy.

Try to respond directly to the question with relevant vocabulary and avoid unrelated items. Also, use correct grammar and sentence structure, and keep your answer concise and natural.

Have you ever bought shoes online?

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: Your answer addresses the question but could be improved by using past tense since the question is about experience. Also, avoid redundancy and improve sentence flow by using linking words.

Example: Yes, I have bought shoes online because they are usually cheaper than in physical stores. Moreover, shopping online saves me time and helps me find better deals.

How much money do you usually spend on shoes?

Score: 50.0

Suggestion: Your answer has some unclear and inconsistent information (e.g., '1000 to $2000' and 'suppers' likely meant 'sneakers'). Try to be specific and accurate with numbers and vocabulary. Also, use correct grammar and sentence structure to improve clarity.

Example: I usually spend between $100 and $200 on a pair of shoes, depending on the brand. For example, sneakers typically cost around $100, while durable boots for long-term use can cost up to $500.

Which do you prefer, fashionable shoes or comfortable shoes?

Score: 65.0

Suggestion: Your answer is relevant but could be more concise and natural. Avoid awkward phrases like 'people can run with it.' Use linking words to connect ideas smoothly and provide clear reasons for your preference.

Example: I prefer comfortable shoes because I walk a lot. Although fashionable shoes look nice, they are often uncomfortable. Therefore, I usually buy sneakers or boots that keep my feet cozy when I go out with friends.

Grammar

Singular and plural issue

× I will buy different kind of shoes for every month.

I will buy different kinds of shoes every month.

The phrase 'different kind of shoes' should be pluralized to 'different kinds of shoes' because 'different' implies multiple types, requiring the plural form 'kinds'. Also, 'for every month' is better expressed as 'every month' for natural usage.

Singular and plural issue

× For example I would buy trousers or I would buy boots.

For example, I would buy trousers or boots.

The sentence is repetitive with 'I would buy' twice; combining the objects after one verb is more natural. Also, 'trousers' and 'boots' are plural nouns and correctly used here.

Modal verb usage

× Yes, I would buy shoes online because the price of the shoes online would be cheaper than you buy in actual store.

Yes, I buy shoes online because the price of shoes online is cheaper than buying them in an actual store.

The use of 'would' is incorrect here as the student is describing a habitual action, so simple present tense is appropriate. Also, 'than you buy in actual store' is awkward; it should be 'than buying them in an actual store'.

Modal verb usage

× Buying online would save me the time to go to the actual store and make me feel that I can spend less money.

Buying online saves me the time of going to the actual store and makes me feel that I can spend less money.

Again, 'would' is incorrectly used for habitual actions; simple present tense is correct. Also, 'save me the time to go' should be 'saves me the time of going' for correct prepositional usage.

Singular and plural issue

× For one pair of shoes I usually spend 1000 to $2000 but it would depends on what is the brand of the shoes.

For one pair of shoes, I usually spend $1000 to $2000, but it depends on the brand of the shoes.

The verb 'depends' should be singular to agree with 'it'. Also, 'would depends' is incorrect modal and verb agreement. The dollar sign should precede both amounts for consistency.

Modal verb usage

× For example if I'm going to buy suppers then the price would be like $100 and if I'm going to buy boots to wear in longed period it would be like $5000.

For example, if I'm going to buy slippers, the price would be about $100, and if I'm going to buy boots to wear for a long period, it would be about $5000.

'Suppers' is likely a typo for 'slippers'. 'Would be like' is informal; 'would be about' is more appropriate. 'Longed period' should be 'a long period' for correct adjective use and article.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× I prefer comfortable shoes because I like to walk a lot and if I'm wearing the fashionable shoes, sometimes those kind of shoes aren't really comfortable and people can run with it.

I prefer comfortable shoes because I like to walk a lot, and if I'm wearing fashionable shoes, sometimes those kinds of shoes aren't really comfortable and people can't run in them.

'The fashionable shoes' is better as 'fashionable shoes' without 'the'. 'Those kind of shoes' should be 'those kinds of shoes' to match plural. 'People can run with it' is incorrect; it should be 'people can't run in them' to match plural and correct preposition.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× So I usually buy sneakers or boots to go out with my friends and make me feel cozy.

So I usually buy sneakers or boots to go out with my friends and make myself feel cozy.

The reflexive pronoun 'myself' is needed here because the subject 'I' is also the object of 'make'. Using 'me' is incorrect in this context.
