Do you like buying shoes? How often?
Candidato
I'm not particularly a bigger fan of buying shoes. I usually buy sneakers once or twice per year to make sure that I will have a suitable pair of shoes to wear for each season.

Have you ever bought shoes online?
Candidato
Yes, multiple times actually. Especially when I need to buy running or training shoes. I often go online to find some website with discount.
Examinador
How much money do you usually spend on shoes?
Candidato
Since I don't buy shoes that often, I try to make sure I will buy some shoes with good conditions. That's why I often spend €100 even more on a pair of shoes.
Examinador
Which do you prefer, fashionable shoes or comfortable shoes?
Candidato
Well, I'd definitely prefer comfortable shoes to shoes with good design 'cause I just need to work a lot on my daily life so it is so important for me to have the shoes and could make me feel my feet is well rested after a long day.

× I'm not particularly a bigger fan of buying shoes.
✓ I'm not particularly a big fan of buying shoes.
The phrase 'a bigger fan' is incorrect here because 'bigger' is a comparative adjective and requires a comparison object. The correct expression is 'a big fan' to indicate liking something. Using 'bigger' without comparison is grammatically incorrect.
× I often go online to find some website with discount.
✓ I often go online to find some websites with discounts.
The phrase 'some website with discount' is incorrect because 'website' should be plural 'websites' when using 'some' and 'discount' should be plural 'discounts' to indicate multiple offers. Also, 'with discount' is less natural than 'with discounts' in this context.
× That's why I often spend €100 even more on a pair of shoes.
✓ That's why I often spend €100 or even more on a pair of shoes.
The phrase '€100 even more' is awkward and incorrect. The correct expression is '€100 or even more' to indicate the amount spent could be €100 or higher. This clarifies the quantifier usage.
× Well, I'd definitely prefer comfortable shoes to shoes with good design 'cause I just need to work a lot on my daily life so it is so important for me to have the shoes and could make me feel my feet is well rested after a long day.
✓ Well, I'd definitely prefer comfortable shoes to shoes with good design because I need to work a lot in my daily life, so it is very important for me to have shoes that make my feet feel well rested after a long day.
The original sentence has multiple issues: the use of informal ''cause' should be 'because'; 'work a lot on my daily life' should be 'work a lot in my daily life'; 'have the shoes and could make me feel my feet is well rested' is ungrammatical and unclear. The corrected sentence improves clarity, grammar, and flow by restructuring and correcting verb forms and pronouns.
