Part 1

Do you like buying shoes? How often?

Score: 48.0

Suggestion: Give a direct topic sentence that answers the question, then provide one or two clear supporting details. Avoid filler words and grammar errors. Use linking words (e.g., "usually", "because") and correct noun/verb forms. Keep it under five sentences.

Example: Yes, I like buying shoes but I do it only a few times a year, usually when the seasons change. I choose shoes based on both comfort and my current style preference because I want them to feel comfortable for daily use.

Have you ever bought shoes online?

Score: 42.0

Suggestion: Answer directly and give specific examples of websites or reasons. Avoid hesitation sounds and unclear phrases. Use linking words like "for example" or "because" to connect ideas, and correct grammar for clarity.

Example: Yes, I sometimes buy shoes online, for example from brand websites or second-hand platforms like Xianyu in China. I prefer these because I can find comfortable, affordable shoes rather than following every fashion trend.

How much money do you usually spend on shoes?

Score: 35.0

Suggestion: Give an approximate amount in clear currency terms and explain frequency. Avoid giving weights or unclear measures. Use a concise statement and a reason or comparison to justify the amount.

Example: I don't track it exactly, but I usually spend about 300 to 500 RMB per season on shoes because I prefer mid-range brands that balance comfort and quality.

Which do you prefer, fashionable shoes or comfortable shoes?

Score: 45.0

Suggestion: State your preference clearly in one sentence, then give a specific reason. Use linking words like "because" or "so" and avoid convoluted phrasing. Keep sentences short and grammatically correct.

Example: I prefer comfortable shoes because I wear them all day and need good support. Although I appreciate stylish designs, comfort is more important for my daily work.

Grammar

Singular and plural issue

× Maybe every season changes our advice from a good pairs of shoes.

Maybe every season I change my shoes from a good pair.

The phrase 'pairs of shoes' is plural but 'a good' is singular, causing mismatch. The sentence also has unclear subject 'our advice'. Corrected to 'I change my shoes' and 'a good pair' to match singular form. Use 'pair' for two shoes treated as one unit.

Incorrect use of conjunction / Sentence structure errors

× Umm, especially depending on my immediate aesthetic preference.

I especially depend on my immediate aesthetic preference.

The original fragment lacks a clear verb structure and uses 'depending on' without a subject. Changing to 'I especially depend on' makes a complete sentence and clarifies the subject and verb.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× Because I want to have a comfortable feeling to about it.

Because I want to feel comfortable about it.

The phrase 'comfortable feeling to about it' mixes prepositions incorrectly. Use the verb 'feel comfortable' + 'about' to express opinion correctly. Remove redundant words.

Sentence structure errors

× Yes, I sometimes go down uh shoes and uh official channels or the second hand platforms like CMU in China because I don't like the stylish, which just follow the latest fashionable models.

Yes, I sometimes buy shoes from official channels or second-hand platforms like Xianyu in China because I don't like stylish shoes that just follow the latest fashion trends.

The original has awkward verbs ('go down'), incorrect noun choice ('the stylish'), and a nonrestrictive clause misuse. Use 'buy shoes from' for correct verb-preposition, 'second-hand platforms' hyphenated, and 'that just follow the latest fashion trends' for a restrictive clause describing 'stylish shoes'. Also 'CMU' likely intended to mean a platform like Xianyu; use a clear name.

Sentence structure errors

× I don't like them. I just like some uh, little time or.

I don't like them. I just like simpler, timeless styles.

The fragment 'some uh, little time or' is ungrammatical and unclear. Interpreted intent as preferring simpler or timeless styles; rephrase to a clear, grammatical sentence.

Sentence without a verb

× To be honest, I haven't counted this exact number of how much I spend on my shoes.

To be honest, I haven't counted the exact amount I spend on shoes.

The original is wordy and awkward ('this exact number of how much'). Simplify to 'the exact amount I spend' which provides a clear noun phrase as object for 'counted'.

Incorrect use of quantifiers

× Uh, appropriately approximately 300 grams every season maybe.

Approximately 300 yuan every season, maybe.

'300 grams' is a weight unit and inappropriate for money. Likely intended to state currency (e.g., yuan). Use 'approximately' and 'maybe' correctly: 'Approximately 300 yuan every season, maybe.' Adjust currency to the correct unit.

Incorrect use of pronouns / Sentence structure errors

× To be honest, I I have not a good ability to use.

To be honest, I don't have good financial management skills.

The original 'I I have not a good ability to use' is ungrammatical and unclear. Rephrase to a clear statement of inability, e.g., 'I don't have good financial management skills' to convey intended meaning about handling money.

Incorrect use of prepositions / Incorrect use of pronouns

× Although I'm passionate with some artworks, however, my affected preference cannot be, uh, entirely applied in shoes because it's they're not the decorations, just they are comfortable enough that I can work comfortably.

Although I'm passionate about some artworks, my aesthetic preferences cannot be entirely applied to shoes because shoes are not decorations; they just need to be comfortable enough for me to work in.

Use 'passionate about' not 'passionate with'. Avoid redundant connectors ('although... however'). Use 'applied to' for applying preferences to shoes. Fix pronoun errors ('it's they're') and clarify that shoes are functional rather than decorative. Split into two clauses for clarity.
