Do you like buying shoes? How often?
수험생
I don't think I am a fan of buying lots of shoes, but I'd like to make sure I can have the right pair for each season. Back in China, I'd buy shoes about four times a year since my hometown has Four Seasons. Here in Sydney though, I buy shoes about twice a year because the weather mostly feels like.

Have you ever bought shoes online?
수험생
Yes, but very rarely you can see that I am quite puppet and my feet are smooth too. So I'd like to try shoes on in a physical store and buy them directly. I only shop online if the store doesn't have the size or style I want. MMM.

How much money do you usually spend on shoes?
수험생
Where it really depends. Uh, I love boots and uh, I feel that they tend to be a bit more expensive than other types of shoes, but in general I spent about $100 on each pair most of the time. The shoes I buy are usually for junior kids. They tend.

Which do you prefer, fashionable shoes or comfortable shoes?
수험생
Well it really depends. If the shoes are for exercise, I definitely prefer comfortable ones. However, I tend to strike a balance between fashion and comfort. Yeah, I just say it really depends on the occasion.

× Here in Sydney though, I buy shoes about twice a year because the weather mostly feels like.
✓ Here in Sydney though, I buy shoes about twice a year because the weather mostly feels the same.
The sentence ends abruptly with 'feels like' which is incomplete and unclear. It needs an object or complement to complete the meaning. Adding 'the same' clarifies the comparison and completes the sentence logically.
× Yes, but very rarely you can see that I am quite puppet and my feet are smooth too.
✓ Yes, but very rarely do you see that I am quite picky and my feet are smooth too.
The original sentence has incorrect word order and uses 'puppet' incorrectly. The phrase 'very rarely you can see' should be inverted to 'very rarely do you see' for correct emphasis. Also, 'puppet' is not appropriate here; likely the intended word is 'picky' meaning selective.
× Where it really depends.
✓ Well, it really depends.
The sentence 'Where it really depends.' is incomplete and incorrect. 'Where' is not appropriate here; 'Well' is the correct discourse marker to express hesitation or consideration.
× but in general I spent about $100 on each pair most of the time.
✓ but in general I spend about $100 on each pair most of the time.
The sentence refers to a habitual action, so the present tense 'spend' should be used instead of the past tense 'spent'.
× The shoes I buy are usually for junior kids. They tend.
✓ The shoes I buy are usually for junior kids. They tend to be more affordable.
The sentence 'They tend.' is incomplete and unclear. It needs a complement to complete the thought. Adding 'to be more affordable' clarifies the meaning.
