Part 1

Do you like buying shoes? How often?

Score: 54.0

Suggestion: Be more concise and organized: start with a clear topic sentence (Yes, I like buying shoes), then give frequency and reason with fewer hesitations. Use linking words (for example, because/when/especially) and correct simple errors (e.g., 'shoes' not 'shows'). Keep to 2–3 sentences and avoid fillers like 'uh' or 'umm.'

Example: Yes, I like buying shoes. I usually buy them for special occasions, such as parties, because I like to wear something stylish for those events.

Have you ever bought shoes online?

Score: 58.0

Suggestion: Provide a clear past experience and reason with correct tense and fewer repetitions. Begin with a direct answer (Yes), then briefly describe frequency and a specific example using linking words like 'because' and 'last weekend' to make it coherent. Avoid repeating words.

Example: Yes, I sometimes buy shoes online because it is very convenient. For example, I bought a pair last weekend since I know my foot size and could easily check reviews before purchasing.

How much money do you usually spend on shoes?

Score: 62.0

Suggestion: Answer directly with a clear estimate, then give a brief explanation. Use linking words like 'but' or 'however' to show conditions and correct pronunciation ('shoes'). Avoid hedging with too many fillers.

Example: I usually spend about $100 per season on shoes. However, it depends on the situation and the type of shoes I need—I might spend more on formal shoes and less on casual ones.

Which do you prefer, fashionable shoes or comfortable shoes?

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: Start with a clear preference sentence, then give 1–2 specific reasons using linking words like 'because' or 'since.' Be concise and avoid repeating words. Correct grammar (e.g., 'they should be comfortable' not 'they should have to be').

Example: I prefer comfortable shoes because I walk every day. Since I'm on my feet a lot, comfort is essential to avoid pain and stay productive throughout the day.

Grammar

Incorrect use of words / Spelling and word choice (categorized under 13 Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs)

× Yes, I like buying uh, shows, umm, I umm, buy shoes, uh, when uh, uh, some kind of party, uh, and I need to wear something specific, umm, for the for shoes is one of the my favorite clothes.

Yes, I like buying shoes. I buy shoes when there is a party and I need to wear something specific. Shoes are one of my favorite types of clothing.

The student used 'shows' instead of 'shoes' (word choice/spelling) and produced awkward, run-on sentences. Break the sentence into clear clauses, correct the noun 'shows' to 'shoes', use 'when there is a party' to express the condition, and 'Shoes are one of my favorite types of clothing' for natural phrasing. Remove filler words (uh, umm) and extra articles (the my). Suggestion: practice replacing fillers with pauses and simplify sentence structure. (Grammar problem type ID:13)

Verb tense / aspect issue (categorized under 6 Present tense issue)

× Yes, so I am sometimes buying shoes on on in online and the form is very convenient.

Yes, I sometimes buy shoes online and the platform is very convenient.

The present continuous 'I am sometimes buying' is unnatural for habitual actions; use simple present 'I sometimes buy'. Remove duplicated words 'on on in online' and replace with 'online'. 'Form' is incorrect word choice; 'platform' or 'website' is appropriate. Suggestion: use simple present for habitual routines and choose correct nouns for technology contexts. (Grammar problem type ID:6)

Verb tense issue / past tense use (5 Past tense issue)

× I know my foot size and it's easy to buy buy online. I buy I bought last weekend one of them and.

I know my foot size and it's easy to buy online. I bought a pair last weekend.

Mixing present and past with hesitations caused repetition 'buy buy' and 'I buy I bought'. For a completed action 'last weekend' use simple past 'I bought'. Use 'a pair' or 'one pair' to refer to shoes. Remove trailing 'and'. Suggestion: plan the sentence before speaking to avoid repetition and choose correct tense markers like 'last weekend' for past actions. (Grammar problem type ID:5)

Incorrect use of quantifiers/articles (14 Incorrect use of quantifiers and 22 Article errors)

× I think approximately $100 per season. It's, uh, depends on the situation and depends, uh, what kind of shows, uh, I would like to buy.

I think I spend approximately $100 per season. It depends on the situation and on what kind of shoes I want to buy.

Sentence lacks subject for 'depends' so add 'It depends'. 'Shows' should be 'shoes'. Use 'want to buy' instead of 'would like to buy' to match general preference (either is possible, but 'want' is simpler). Also add 'on' before 'what'. Suggestion: include subjects for impersonal constructions (It depends) and ensure correct nouns and prepositions. (Grammar problem type ID:14)

Modal/auxiliary and infinitive structure (4 Modal verb usage and 8 Verb + -ing form)

× I would like comfortable shoes because I think they should have to be shoes have to be comfortable because I, I'm walking.

I prefer comfortable shoes because they have to be comfortable for walking.

Redundant and incorrect modal phrase 'should have to be' is confusing; use 'have to be' or 'must be' for necessity. Remove repetition 'shoes have to be' and simplify 'because I'm walking' to 'for walking' to show purpose. Suggestion: avoid stacking modals; choose a single clear modal or the simple verb 'have to'. (Grammar problem type ID:4)

Present tense / gerund and article errors (6 Present tense issue and 22 Article errors)

× I am, I walk every day. And for me it's very vital to be as a comfortable all of the day.

I walk every day. For me, it is very important to be comfortable all day.

Remove unnecessary 'I am,' and use simple present 'I walk every day' for habitual action. 'Vital' is acceptable but 'important' is more natural here. 'To be as a comfortable' is ungrammatical; use 'to be comfortable all day' and drop 'the'. Suggestion: use adjectives correctly (comfortable) not as nouns, and remove extra articles.
