Shoes— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and correct grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence, give one or two specific reasons, and avoid repetition. Use linking words (for example, because/so) and correct small errors ("It it" → "It"; "very specific" → "very particular"). Keep your answer to a maximum of 3–4 sentences.

Example: Not really. I rarely buy shoes now because I bought too many in the past and don’t wear most of them anymore. So I only buy when I need a specific style or purpose, such as walking trainers for exercise.

Suggestion: Provide a clear topic sentence, correct product and site names, and replace fillers (uh) with concise detail. Use linking words (for example/and) and give one specific detail about why you were satisfied (fit, quality, delivery). Correct grammar: "correct informations" → "accurate information"; "very match with" → "matched".

Example: Yes. Two years ago I bought a pair of Adidas from an online retailer and I was very satisfied because the shoes matched the product photos, the size fit perfectly and the delivery was prompt.

Suggestion: Give a direct estimate and use clearer grammar. Start with a topic sentence stating current spending, then briefly compare with the past using linking words (formerly/but now). Avoid repetition and correct word forms ("very less" → "much less"; "oftenly" → "often"). If you cannot remember exact figures, give a reasonable range.

Example: Nowadays I spend very little on shoes, maybe £30–£60 a year. When I was at university I spent much more, often buying several pairs each semester.

Suggestion: Answer directly, then give a brief reason and use linking words for contrast (however/whereas). Avoid awkward phrasing ("very upset, obsessed" → "quite obsessed"). Keep it to 2–3 sentences and include a specific example of what you now choose (trainers, loafers).

Example: I prefer comfortable shoes now. When I was at university I was quite obsessed with fashionable styles, but at 30 I choose trainers and leather loafers that feel good for daily wear.

× No, I don't like buying shoes because I have bought too much in the past and now I don't use most of them.

✓ No, I don't like buying shoes because I have bought too many in the past and now I don't use most of them.

'Too much' is used with uncountable nouns; 'too many' is used with countable nouns like 'shoes'. Use 'too many' to agree with the plural countable noun. Suggestion: replace 'too much' with 'too many'. (Keep present perfect 'have bought' because it connects past purchases to the present.)

× It it has to be very specific if I want to buy some shoes.

✓ It has to be very specific if I want to buy any shoes.

The sentence has a repeated word 'It it' and uses 'some' awkwardly after a negative-like context; 'any shoes' is more natural when expressing a conditional requirement. Also ensure only one 'It'. Suggestion: remove the duplicate and use 'any' for conditional statements.

× Two years ago I bought Adidas Ferrell from Trindial and I am very satisfied to buy it because it was very nice and uh, correct informations and very match with the information that they gave me.

✓ Two years ago I bought Adidas Ferrell from Trindial and I was very satisfied with my purchase because the product was very nice, the information was correct and it matched the information they gave me.

Mixed tenses and wrong prepositions: 'I am very satisfied to buy it' should be past 'I was very satisfied with my purchase' because the buying happened two years ago. Use 'with' after 'satisfied'. 'Informations' is uncountable and should be 'information'. Use past simple 'was' and past 'matched' to keep tense consistent. Use 'it matched' instead of 'very match'. Suggestion: keep past tense throughout and correct prepositions and uncountable noun.

× When I was in university I was spending a lot.

✓ When I was at university I spent a lot.

Use 'at university' (preposition) and simple past 'spent' for habitual past actions. 'Was spending a lot' is grammatically possible but 'spent a lot' is more natural for a past habit. Suggestion: use simple past for completed habitual actions and 'at' for institutions.

× I don't remember specifically numbers, but in but in recent years it's very less than before because like I said, beginning of the conversation, I don't buy shoe very oftenly in recent years.

✓ I don't remember the specific numbers, but in recent years it's much less than before because, as I said at the beginning of the conversation, I haven't bought shoes very often in recent years.

Multiple issues: missing article 'the' before 'specific numbers'; 'very less' is incorrect — use 'much less' or 'far less'; 'beginning of the conversation' requires 'the' and 'as I said at the beginning of the conversation' is natural. 'I don't buy shoe' should be 'I haven't bought shoes' to reflect the recent period up to now, and 'very oftenly' is incorrect — use 'very often'. Suggestion: add 'the', replace 'very less' with 'much less', correct verb tense to present perfect for recent period, and use 'shoes' plural.

× If you ask me this question when I was in university, I would say probably fashionable shoes because I was very upset, obsessed with fashionable shoes.

✓ If you had asked me this question when I was at university, I would probably have said fashionable shoes because I was very obsessed with fashionable styles.

The conditional referring to a past hypothetical requires past perfect in the 'if' clause ('If you had asked') and a perfect conditional in the result ('I would probably have said'). 'Upset, obsessed' is contradictory; likely 'very obsessed' alone is intended. 'At university' is the correct preposition. Also 'fashionable shoes' repeated can be varied to 'fashionable styles'. Suggestion: use third conditional for past hypothetical situations and simplify adjectives.

× But right now I'm 30 and I am more like comfortable shoes.

✓ But right now I'm 30 and I prefer comfortable shoes.

'I am more like comfortable shoes' is ungrammatical. Use 'I prefer comfortable shoes' to express current preference. Keep present simple for general preference. Also 'I'm 30' is fine as a time reference. Suggestion: use 'prefer' plus plural noun 'shoes'.
