Part 1

Examiner

Do you like buying shoes? How often?

Well I actually really enjoy buying shoes and usually I only get them for my sports and daily activities. Also I only get them when they are a great deal or a cheap offer.

Examiner

Have you ever bought shoes online?

Candidate

Yes, I actually have bought quite a few of my shoes online and usually I only buy them from like reliable shops and trusted brands.

Examiner

How much money do you usually spend on shoes?

I think it actually depends. For shoes that I use on my daily routines I only spend about a decent amount, but when it's for sports activity then I actually sometimes might spend a lot.

Examiner

Which do you prefer, fashionable shoes or comfortable shoes?

I actually prefer comfortable nest more than aesthetic. If the shoes are uncomfortable, I cannot wear them for long periods. However, I actually still care about appearance. Ideally, I would still enjoy a mix of both.

Part 1

Do you like buying shoes? How often?

Score: 78.0

Suggestion: Cải thiện: Tránh lặp từ và làm câu ngắn gọn, rõ ràng hơn; bắt đầu bằng một câu chủ đề rõ ràng, sau đó nêu 1-2 chi tiết cụ thể về tần suất (ví dụ: mỗi tháng, vài tháng một lần) và lý do mua. Sử dụng liên từ phù hợp để kết nối ý (for example, because).

Example: Yes, I enjoy buying shoes, but I only buy them occasionally — usually every few months. For everyday use I purchase practical pairs, and for sports I buy specialized trainers. I also wait for sales or discounts because I prefer getting good value.

Have you ever bought shoes online?

Score: 80.0

Suggestion: Cải thiện: Tránh dùng từ nói năng như 'like' quá nhiều; nêu thêm một ví dụ cụ thể về trang web hoặc thương hiệu để tăng tính cụ thể, và giải thích lý do (ví dụ: chính sách đổi trả, đánh giá khách hàng).

Example: Yes, I have bought many shoes online, mainly from reputable sites like Nike or Amazon. I prefer trusted brands because they have clear return policies and reliable customer reviews, which helps me choose the right size and style.

How much money do you usually spend on shoes?

Score: 72.0

Suggestion: Cải thiện: Trả lời cụ thể với con số hoặc khoảng giá (ví dụ: $30–$60, $80–$150). Tránh dùng cụm từ mơ hồ như 'a decent amount' hoặc 'a lot'. Sử dụng liên từ để phân biệt hai trường hợp rõ ràng.

Example: It depends on the type: for everyday shoes I usually spend around $30–$60, while for sports shoes I might spend $80–$150 because they need better support and durability.

Which do you prefer, fashionable shoes or comfortable shoes?

Score: 84.0

Suggestion: Cải thiện: Sửa lỗi nhỏ (ví dụ 'comfortable nest' nên là 'comfort more'), tránh lặp 'actually', và sắp xếp ý theo cấu trúc: chủ đề -> lý do -> giải pháp/ví dụ. Có thể thêm ví dụ cụ thể về hoàn cảnh để minh họa.

Example: I prefer comfort over fashion because uncomfortable shoes cause pain and limit how long I can wear them. However, I still care about appearance, so I choose shoes that balance both — for example, smart-casual sneakers that look good and feel comfortable for walking all day.

Grammar

Adverb placement / Redundancy (matches type 20 and 26)

× Well I actually really enjoy buying shoes and usually I only get them for my sports and daily activities.

Well, I really enjoy buying shoes, and usually I only get them for sports and daily activities.

The original sentence has redundant adverbs 'actually' and 'really' which is wordy and the adverb placement is awkward. Remove 'actually' and place commas to improve flow. Suggestion: avoid redundant modifiers and keep adverb placement close to the verb.

Incorrect use of quantifiers (type 14)

× Also I only get them when they are a great deal or a cheap offer.

Also, I only get them when they're a great deal or on sale.

'A cheap offer' is unnatural; use quantifier phrases like 'a great deal' or 'on sale'. Also contract 'they are' to 'they're' or use 'when they are on sale'. Suggestion: use common collocations for discounts.

Verb tense / Perfect usage (type 5)

× Yes, I actually have bought quite a few of my shoes online and usually I only buy them from like reliable shops and trusted brands.

Yes, I have bought quite a few shoes online, and usually I only buy them from reliable shops and trusted brands.

'Have bought' is acceptable, but 'actually' is unnecessary. Remove 'my' before 'shoes' for naturalness and eliminate filler 'like'. Keep present perfect 'have bought' because it describes experience up to now. Suggestion: avoid fillers and possessive when unnecessary.

Verb tense issue (type 6)

× I think it actually depends.

I think it depends.

'Actually' is filler and unnecessary. Use the simple present 'depends' for general statements. Suggestion: omit filler words to make speech concise.

Article errors / Word choice (type 22 and 13)

× For shoes that I use on my daily routines I only spend about a decent amount, but when it's for sports activity then I actually sometimes might spend a lot.

For shoes that I use in my daily routine, I only spend a modest amount, but for sports shoes I might sometimes spend a lot.

Use 'in my daily routine' rather than 'on my daily routines'. 'About a decent amount' is awkward; 'a modest amount' is clearer. 'When it's for sports activity' should be 'for sports shoes' or 'for sports activities'. Remove double modal 'might spend' combined with 'actually sometimes' which is redundant. Suggestion: choose precise noun phrases and avoid redundant modifiers.

Word choice / Adjective order (type 13 and 18)

× I actually prefer comfortable nest more than aesthetic.

I actually prefer comfort more than fashion.

'Comfortable nest' is incorrect; likely intended 'comfort' or 'comfortable ones'. 'Aesthetic' as a noun is incorrect; use 'fashion' or 'aesthetics'. Suggestion: use correct noun forms: 'prefer comfort' or 'prefer comfortable shoes to fashionable ones.'

Subject-verb agreement / Modal redundancy (type 27 and 4)

× If the shoes are uncomfortable, I cannot wear them for long periods.

If the shoes are uncomfortable, I can't wear them for long periods.

Sentence is grammatically correct; contraction suggested for natural speech. No structural change needed. Explanation: 'cannot' is acceptable but 'can't' is more conversational. Suggestion: use contractions in spoken responses.

Adverb placement (type 20)

× However, I actually still care about appearance.

However, I still care about appearance.

Remove filler 'actually' to make the sentence more natural and concise. 'Still' is enough to convey contrast. Suggestion: avoid multiple adverbs conveying similar emphasis.

Sentence structure (type 26)

× Ideally, I would still enjoy a mix of both.

Ideally, I would like a mix of both.

'Would still enjoy' is acceptable but slightly awkward here; 'would like' is more natural when expressing preference. Suggestion: use concise verbs like 'like' when stating preferences.
