Do you like buying shoes? How often?

Score: 62.0

Suggestion: Make your answer more natural, concise and grammatically correct. Start with a clear topic sentence stating whether you like buying shoes, then give one or two specific supporting details (reason and frequency). Use correct verb forms and singular/plural forms, and avoid contradictory phrases like "quality and quantity" unless you explain them.

Example: I do enjoy buying shoes, but not very often. Recently I started taking dance lessons, so I look for comfortable, well-made shoes for practice and only replace them when they wear out.

Have you ever bought shoes online?

Score: 58.0

Suggestion: Answer directly and correct common grammar and vocabulary errors. Say clearly that you usually buy online and give two brief reasons with linking words (because/so). Use comparative forms correctly (faster, more convenient) and avoid literal translations like "more visual" or "more directly."

Example: Yes, I buy most of my shoes online because I don’t have time to visit shops, and online stores are more convenient and faster. Also, online reviews and photos help me choose the right style.

How much money do you usually spend on shoes?

Score: 68.0

Suggestion: Provide a clear structured answer: state the typical amount, then explain how it varies with purpose using linking words (for example, while, whereas). Correct grammar (complete sentences) and use precise vocabulary (brand, occasion). Give one concise comparative detail.

Example: I usually spend about CN¥300 per pair on shoes. However, it varies by purpose: for everyday sneakers I might spend a bit more for comfort and durability, whereas for occasional fashion items I choose cheaper options.

Which do you prefer, fashionable shoes or comfortable shoes?

Score: 64.0

Suggestion: Give a direct topic sentence stating your preference and then qualify it with occasions using linking words (if, but, however). Correct grammar (must wear, take photos) and avoid extra words. Provide one clear example for each occasion.

Example: It depends on the occasion: for dance lessons I always choose comfortable shoes because I need support, but when I travel or attend events I prefer fashionable shoes to look good in photos.

Grammar

6: Present tense issue

× Honestly when I was younger I'm not interested in shoes but recently I want to wearing a comfortable shoes to take dance lessons.

Honestly, when I was younger I wasn't interested in shoes, but recently I want to wear comfortable shoes to take dance lessons.

Mixed tenses and incorrect verb forms: 'when I was younger' requires past tense 'wasn't interested'. 'want to wearing' is incorrect; after 'want to' use base verb 'wear'. Also 'a comfortable shoes' mixes singular article with plural noun; use 'comfortable shoes' without 'a'. Suggestion: Keep past events in past tense and use 'want to' + base verb, and match articles with noun number.

1: Singular and plural issue

× So I prefer quality and quantity.

So I prefer quality over quantity.

Meaning problem and preposition: 'prefer quality and quantity' is unclear; likely contrast intended 'quality over quantity'. Use preposition 'over' to express preference. Also this isn't a plurality issue but relates to correct collocation. Suggestion: Use common phrase 'prefer X over Y' to show choice.

1: Singular and plural issue

× I just invest adorable shoes, not too often buying a new shoes.

I just buy adorable shoes; I don't buy new shoes very often.

Wrong verb and number: 'invest adorable shoes' is incorrect collocation—use 'buy'. 'a new shoes' mixes singular article with plural noun; use 'new shoes' or 'a new pair of shoes'. Also rephrase for natural negative: 'I don't buy new shoes very often.' Suggestion: Use 'buy' and 'pair' when needed, and place adverb 'very often' appropriately.

27: Subject-verb agreement errors

× Basically all my shoes were bought online because I don't have much time to pick up shoes at store and I think bought something online is more faster, more visual, more directly.

Basically all my shoes were bought online because I don't have much time to pick up shoes at stores, and I think buying something online is faster, more visual, and more direct.

Multiple errors: 'pick up shoes at store' needs plural 'stores' or 'the store'. 'think bought something online' uses wrong verb form; use gerund 'buying'. 'more faster' is redundant—use 'faster'. 'more directly' should be 'more direct' or 'direct'. Suggestion: Use gerunds after 'think', avoid double comparatives ('more faster'), and match noun number and articles.

6: Present tense issue

× I usually spend a moderate amount on shoes, around CN¥300 per pair. Depends on the purpose in the brand.

I usually spend a moderate amount on shoes, around CN¥300 per pair. It depends on the purpose and the brand.

Sentence fragment and preposition: 'Depends on the purpose in the brand' is a fragment missing subject; add 'It depends'. Preposition 'in' is incorrect here—use 'and' to connect 'purpose' and 'brand'. Suggestion: Ensure each sentence has a subject and verb and use correct prepositions.

8: Verb + -ing form

× For everyday sneakers I opt for comfort and durability, so I might even a little bit more, while for occasional fashion shows I choose cheaper.

For everyday sneakers I opt for comfort and durability, so I might even spend a little bit more, while for occasional fashion shows I choose cheaper ones.

Missing verb after modal: 'might even a little bit more' lacks verb 'spend'. Also 'choose cheaper' needs a noun or pronoun—use 'cheaper ones'. Suggestion: After modals include base verb or appropriate verb, and complete comparative adjectives with the noun they modify.

6: Present tense issue

× I think it depends on what occasion I need.

I think it depends on the occasion.

Awkward phrasing: 'what occasion I need' is incorrect; simpler 'the occasion' expresses the idea. If wanting to keep structure: 'what occasion I need them for.' Suggestion: Use concise expressions and include prepositions when needed ('for').

8: Verb + -ing form

× If I just take a dance lessons I must wearing a comfortable shoes.

If I just take dance lessons I must wear comfortable shoes.

'Take a dance lessons' mixes article with plural; use 'take dance lessons' or 'take a dance lesson'. 'must wearing' is incorrect; after modal 'must' use base verb 'wear'. Also 'a comfortable shoes' wrong article-number. Suggestion: After modals use base verb, match articles with count nouns.

6: Present tense issue

× But if I go to traveling I want to take some photo with the stunning outfits.

But if I travel I want to take some photos with stunning outfits.

Incorrect verb form: 'go to traveling' should be 'travel' or 'go traveling'. 'take some photo' needs plural 'photos'. 'the stunning outfits' can be 'stunning outfits' unless specific outfits are meant. Suggestion: Use correct verb patterns ('travel' or 'go traveling') and match noun number.

2: Third person singular issue

× I definitely wear fashionable shoes.

I definitely wear fashionable shoes.

This sentence is grammatically correct. No change needed. Explanation: 'I wear' correctly uses first person present tense; the sentence is appropriate as a response. Including it to show it meets the allowed problem types, but no correction required.
