Examiner
Do you like shopping?
Candidate
It depends actually when I walk through those cosmetics shop, like selling some lipsticks, from my perspective the color of those lipsticks are quite similar. That's makes me dull.

Candidate
Yes, I will make comparisons between prices of the products as the products quality doesn't always directly proportional to the quality of the product.
Examiner
Is it difficult for you to make choices when you shop?
Candidate
Yes, is a bit difficult. Not only does the shopkeeper provide much information about the products, but also many varieties are present.
Examiner

Candidate
No, although it's usually the case, sometimes there are some outliers as there may be defects in those expensive products during delivery.

× It depends actually when I walk through those cosmetics shop, like selling some lipsticks, from my perspective the color of those lipsticks are quite similar.
✓ It depends actually when I walk through those cosmetics shops, like selling some lipsticks, from my perspective the colours of those lipsticks are quite similar.
The word 'shop' should be plural 'shops' because it refers to multiple stores. Also, 'color' should be plural 'colours' to agree with 'those lipsticks' which is plural. This ensures subject and noun agreement in number.
× That's makes me dull.
✓ That makes me dull.
The contraction 'That's' (that is) is incorrect here because the subject 'That' requires the verb 'makes' without 'is'. The correct form is 'That makes me dull' to maintain subject-verb agreement.
× Yes, I will make comparisons between prices of the products as the products quality doesn't always directly proportional to the quality of the product.
✓ Yes, I will make comparisons between the prices of the products as the product's quality isn't always directly proportional to the price of the product.
The sentence has structural issues: 'products quality' should be possessive 'product's quality'; 'doesn't always directly proportional' lacks a verb and should be 'isn't always directly proportional'; also, 'quality of the product' should be contrasted with 'price' to make sense. The correction improves clarity and grammatical correctness.
× Yes, is a bit difficult.
✓ Yes, it is a bit difficult.
The sentence lacks a subject. Adding 'it' as the subject corrects the sentence structure, making it a complete sentence.
× Not only does the shopkeeper provide much information about the products, but also many varieties are present.
✓ Not only does the shopkeeper provide much information about the products, but there are also many varieties available.
The phrase 'many varieties are present' is awkward. Using 'there are also many varieties available' is more natural. Also, 'but also' should be preceded by 'there are' to complete the clause properly.
