Shopping— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be concise and grammatically correct. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid invented words or incorrect forms (e.g. 'shopaholic' used as 'I sometimes shopaholic' is wrong), and give one or two specific reasons with linking words. Keep to under five sentences and reduce hesitations.

Example: Yes, I enjoy shopping. I often visit street markets and local shops because they sell unique odds-and-ends at lower prices, and I like discovering items I wouldn’t find in big stores.

Suggestion: Give a clear, direct reason and avoid repetition and filler words. Use a linking phrase to expand (for example, 'because' then a specific reason). Don't say 'buy and sell' if you mean 'get the best deal'.

Example: Yes, I always compare prices, especially online, because I want to find the best deal and save money on the items I plan to buy.

Suggestion: Answer directly and support with organized reasons using linking words like 'because' and 'however'. Fix grammar (e.g. 'try to choose the best within my budget and quality requirements') and avoid self-contradictory or unclear phrases.

Example: No, it isn’t difficult because I follow fashion trends and set a clear budget; therefore I can usually choose items that balance style and quality within my price range.

Suggestion: Structure your opinion clearly with a topic sentence, then add a contrasting specific example. Use linking words like 'however' and 'for example'. Avoid vague phrasing and filler words; be concise and state conditions when expensive items are justified.

Example: Not always. Expensive products often use better materials and offer higher quality; however, for everyday items I prefer cheaper options to save money—for example, I buy inexpensive kitchen utensils but invest in a high-quality winter coat.

× I sometimes shopaholic, I like to go street market and I like a local shop because you can find something odds and ends cheap and especially because I am trained.

✓ I am sometimes a shopaholic. I like to go to street markets and to local shops because you can find odds and ends cheaply, and especially because I am trained.

Errors: 'shopaholic' is a noun so needs a verb and article ('am a shopaholic'); 'go street market' needs preposition 'to' and plural 'markets' to match general habit; 'a local shop' should be plural 'local shops' when speaking generally or keep singular with article; 'something odds and ends cheap' has incorrect word order and form: 'odds and ends' is plural and the adverb 'cheaply' modifies 'find' better than adjective 'cheap'; 'I am trained' is unclear but grammatically acceptable though may need context. Suggestion: use correct noun phrases and prepositions, place adjectives/adverbs in correct positions, and keep number agreement.

× Yes, I compare prices when I shop and especially uh uh, when I shop online uh, because I want to uh find best price and and I uh, try to buy and sell.

✓ Yes, I compare prices when I shop, especially when I shop online, because I want to find the best price and I try to buy and sell at good prices.

Errors: missing article 'the' before 'best price' (article error/usage of noun phrase); repetition and filler words removed. Also 'compare prices when I shop and especially when I shop online' is fine but needed commas. Suggestion: include definite article before 'best price' and use appropriate prepositions/phrasing like 'at good prices' or 'for the best price.'

× No it isn't because I am a shopaholic and I keep up with fashion. I consider budget and I try to best choice with my budget and uh, with uh high quality.

✓ No, it isn't, because I am a shopaholic and I keep up with fashion. I consider my budget and try to make the best choices within my budget while seeking high quality.

Errors: 'I consider budget' needs possessive 'my budget' (pronoun error) and article/structure; 'I try to best choice' is ungrammatical—needs verb phrase 'try to make the best choice(s)'; 'with my budget and with high quality' wrong preposition—use 'within my budget' and 'while seeking high quality'. Suggestion: include possessive pronouns and correct verb phrases, and use prepositions that show limit ('within') and contrast ('while').

× It expensive products are a best materials and high quality uh, but when you use something every day uh it's best uh to buy cheap uh products uh in a brief uh, it is important you would consider budget.

✓ Expensive products are often made of better materials and have higher quality, but if you use something every day it is sometimes better to buy cheaper products. In short, it is important to consider your budget.

Errors: sentence begins with extra 'It' and has wrong word order ('It expensive products are'); noun/adjective forms incorrect ('a best materials' should be 'better materials'); 'high quality' needs comparative 'higher quality' or adjective; 'it's best to buy cheap products' needs 'cheaper' and proper article/structure; 'in a brief' is incorrect—use 'in short'; 'you would consider budget' needs 'to consider your budget' (missing infinitive and possessive). Suggestion: remove unnecessary pronoun, use comparative forms, correct noun phrases, and use standard transitional phrases like 'in short.'
