Part 1
Examiner
Do you like shopping?
Candidate
Yes, I like shopping very much. I usually shop when I need some necessary items, but sometimes I just go window shopping because I find it relaxing and a way to recharge my energy after a long day at work. Shopping also gives me a chance to explore new products and enjoy a change of scenery.
Examiner
Do you compare prices when you shop? Why?
Candidate
Yes, I always compare prices when I shop because as a student, I have a limited budget. I need to manage my expenses carefully to ensure I can afford everything I need without asking my parents for extra money. For example, I often take different stores and online shops to find the best deals, which helps me save money and spend wisely.
Examiner
Is it difficult for you to make choices when you shop?
Candidate
Yes, it's quite difficult for me to make choices when I shop because I often feel confused about what products are suitable for me. For example, I spend a lot of time comparing different shops and items to find the best option. This usually makes the shopping process quite slow and stressful.
Examiner
Do you think expensive products are always better than cheaper ones?
Candidate
Ah, not really. I don't think expensive products are always better than cheaper ones because it depends on several factors such as quality, durability, and brand reputations. For example, some affordable items can offer great value for money and be very reliable, while some costly goods may not meet expectation.

× I often take different stores and online shops to find the best deals, which helps me save money and spend wisely.
✓ I often visit different stores and online shops to find the best deals, which helps me save money and spend wisely.
The phrase 'take different stores' is incorrect because 'take' is not used with 'stores' in this context. The correct verb is 'visit' to indicate going to stores. This is a singular/plural usage issue because the verb does not agree with the intended meaning of the noun phrase.
× some costly goods may not meet expectation.
✓ some costly goods may not meet expectations.
The word 'expectation' should be plural 'expectations' because it refers to multiple possible expectations. This is a singular and plural issue where the countable noun should be in plural form to match the context.
