Have you ever bought shoes online?
Thí sinh
Yes, I have bought shoes online but it was not a good experience because it was my first and last time doing online shopping because the size of the shoe didn't fit me and the quality was not too good. It was not as same as it was shown in the picture. So I'm definitely not buying shoes online ever again in my life.

× I would say in my closet I have different colors of shoes, about every color matching with all my dresses.
✓ I would say in my closet I have different colors of shoes, about every color matching all my dresses.
The phrase 'matching with all my dresses' is incorrect because 'match' does not require the preposition 'with' in this context. The correct form is 'matching all my dresses'. This is a singular and plural issue related to the correct use of verbs and prepositions with plural nouns.
× It was not as same as it was shown in the picture.
✓ It was not the same as it was shown in the picture.
The phrase 'as same as' is incorrect. The correct expression is 'the same as'. The definite article 'the' is necessary before 'same' to form the correct comparative phrase.
× But for regular wears I don't spend that much money.
✓ But for regular wear I don't spend that much money.
The word 'wears' is incorrect here; 'wear' as a noun referring to clothing or usage is uncountable and should not be pluralized. This is an incorrect use of prepositions and countable/uncountable nouns.
× If I'm going for any parties or special functions then I will go for the fashionable shoes.
✓ If I'm going to any parties or special functions then I will go for fashionable shoes.
The preposition 'for' is incorrect after 'going' when referring to attending events; the correct preposition is 'to'. Also, 'the fashionable shoes' should be 'fashionable shoes' as it refers to shoes in general, not specific ones.
× But for regular wears like for going to college or work or for a walk, I definitely prefer comfortable shoes because I have to wear them for long time.
✓ But for regular wear like going to college or work or for a walk, I definitely prefer comfortable shoes because I have to wear them for a long time.
Again, 'wears' should be 'wear' as it is uncountable. Also, 'for going' can be simplified to 'going'. Additionally, 'for long time' is missing the article 'a' and should be 'for a long time'.
