Shoes— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Try to avoid filler words like 'uh' and 'like' to make your answer sound more natural and confident. Also, organise your answer with a clear topic sentence followed by supporting details using linking words for coherence. For example, start with your frequency of buying shoes, then explain why you buy that way, and finish with a reason related to Malaysia's weather.

Ejemplo: I don't really enjoy buying shoes, so I only buy them about once a year. This is because I prefer to invest in high-quality shoes that I can wear all year round. Moreover, since Malaysia has a humid climate, I choose shoes that are durable and suitable for the weather.

Sugerencia: Avoid incomplete sentences and try to finish your thoughts clearly. Use linking words like 'however' and 'because' properly to connect ideas. Also, be specific about your experience and reasons for preferring physical stores.

Ejemplo: Yes, I have bought shoes online before; however, it is not my preferred method because I am between sizes. When I choose the bigger size, the shoes often end up too big to wear comfortably. Therefore, I prefer to visit stores to try shoes on and ensure they fit well.

Sugerencia: Try to avoid repetition and incomplete sentences. Use linking words like 'because' and 'so' to connect your ideas clearly. Also, be more concise and precise in your explanation.

Ejemplo: I usually spend around 200 to 300 ringgit on shoes because I wear them all year round. I believe this amount is justified since I prefer good quality shoes that last without tearing during the year.

Sugerencia: Avoid incomplete sentences and filler phrases like 'so yeah'. Use linking words such as 'however' to contrast ideas clearly. Also, try to summarise your preference in a clear topic sentence followed by supporting reasons.

Ejemplo: When I was younger, I preferred fashionable shoes because they made me look cooler. However, now I prioritise comfort over style since I want shoes that I can wear for many hours without pain or numbness.

× I invest in paying a lot of money in shoes that I can wear all year round and and that I can actually be durable to weather, especially in, in here in Malaysia because.

✓ I invest a lot of money in shoes that I can wear all year round and that can actually be durable against the weather, especially here in Malaysia.

The phrase 'invest in paying' is incorrect because 'invest' should be followed directly by the object, not by 'paying'. Also, 'be durable to weather' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'durable against the weather'. The sentence is corrected to use proper verb forms and prepositions.

× Yes I did, however it's not my favorite way to buy shoes because I am in between sizes so sometimes when I go for the bigger size it's actually end up being really big that I cannot even wear it.

✓ Yes, I did; however, it's not my favorite way to buy shoes because I am in between sizes, so sometimes when I go for the bigger size, it actually ends up being really big, and I cannot even wear it.

The verb phrase 'it's actually end up' is incorrect; it should be 'it actually ends up' to agree with the singular subject 'it'. Also, punctuation is added for clarity. The verb 'ends' is in present tense to describe a general truth or habitual action.

× I usually spend around 200 to 300 ringgit out for shoes because I as I said I wear it all year round.

✓ I usually spend around 200 to 300 ringgit on shoes because, as I said, I wear them all year round.

The preposition 'out for' is incorrect here; the correct preposition is 'on' when referring to spending money. Also, 'I as I said' is corrected to 'as I said' for clarity, and 'it' is changed to 'them' to agree with the plural noun 'shoes'.

× So I justified this amount of money on it and I wanted to be a good quality shoes so I can actually wear it without it tearing apart during the year so.

✓ So I justify this amount of money on it and I want good quality shoes so I can actually wear them without them tearing apart during the year.

The sentence has tense inconsistency; 'justified' and 'wanted' are past tense but the context suggests present tense. Also, 'a good quality shoes' is incorrect because 'shoes' is plural and should not have the singular article 'a'. 'It' is replaced with 'them' to agree with the plural noun 'shoes'.

× However, now I don't care about what it looks like as long as it's very comfortable and I can wear it for many hours without feeling that my feet are numb or that they are killing me.

✓ However, now I don't care about what they look like as long as they're very comfortable and I can wear them for many hours without feeling that my feet are numb or that they are killing me.

The pronouns 'it' and 'it's' refer to 'shoes', which is plural, so they should be 'they' and 'they're' respectively. Similarly, 'wear it' should be 'wear them' to agree with the plural noun 'shoes'.
