Shoes— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more direct and organized: start with a clear topic sentence answering the frequency, then give one concise reason and a specific example. Avoid filler phrases and unclear fragments (e.g. "Because no"). Use linking words (e.g. "but", "so") to connect ideas and keep the answer within 3–4 sentences.

Ví dụ: Yes, I like buying shoes; I usually buy about two pairs per year now. However, three or four years ago I bought shoes more often because I followed sneaker trends. For instance, I used to buy several new trainers each year when I played basketball.

Gợi ý: Answer directly then add one specific detail. Clarify past actions with correct verbs and avoid repetition. Use linking words like "because" and "for example" properly to show reason and example. Keep sentences concise and grammatical.

Ví dụ: Yes, I have bought shoes online. For example, three or four years ago I ordered three pairs of Jordans because I played basketball and liked their design and support for the court.

Gợi ý: Start with a clear topic sentence stating the typical amount, then explain your view with a reason and an example. Use formal vocabulary (e.g. "I usually spend", "I think") and avoid slang like "scam" in a neutral tone. Keep it to 2–3 sentences.

Ví dụ: I usually spend no more than about $200 on a pair of shoes. I think shoes are important to an outfit, but I prefer to keep costs moderate because most shoes over $200 don’t offer enough extra value for me.

Gợi ý: Give a direct preference statement, then support it with a clear reason and a specific example. Use linking words such as "because" and "for example" and correct word forms (e.g. "moccasins"). Avoid repeating the same idea; make sentences concise and varied in structure.

Ví dụ: I prefer comfortable shoes now because I value practicality as I get older. For example, I often choose moccasins or elegant leather shoes since I dress more formally for work and they are both comfortable and stylish.

× How often? Yes, I do.

✓ Yes, I do. How often?

The original has awkward sentence order; 'How often?' is the examiner's question, not the student's answer. Reordering clarifies speaker intent and creates a natural response. Suggest speaking in full sentences that directly answer the question, e.g., 'Yes, I do. I buy shoes about twice a year.'

× Well, right now I think 2 pairs per year.

✓ Well, right now I think two pairs per year.

Use words for numbers under ten in formal speech and ensure present simple is used correctly to express habitual action. Also write numbers as words to improve formality. Suggest: 'I usually buy two pairs per year.'

× Yes, I did.

✓ Yes, I have.

The question 'Have you ever bought shoes online?' calls for the present perfect. 'Yes, I did' uses simple past; 'Yes, I have' or 'Yes, I have bought shoes online' is correct to indicate experience up to now. Suggest using present perfect for life experiences.

× As I said three or four years ago, I was really into sneakers and I booked for example as remember 3 or 4 pairs of Jordans because I played basketball as I really liked the basketball shoes.

✓ As I said, three or four years ago I was really into sneakers; I remember buying three or four pairs of Jordans because I played basketball and I liked basketball shoes.

Multiple issues: incorrect verb choice ('booked' should be 'bought'), unclear filler words ('as remember'), and run-on sentence. Correct verbs, remove fillers, and use proper conjunctions to join clauses. Suggest shorter, clearer sentences and correct verb 'bought' for past action.

× Spend on shoes no more than 200 bucks.

✓ I spend no more than 200 bucks on shoes.

Subject is missing. Add the subject 'I' and use present simple 'spend' for habitual action. Also place 'no more than 200 bucks' after the verb phrase for natural order. Suggest: 'I usually spend no more than 200 dollars on shoes.'

× I believe that the shoes are very important in an outfit for example, but more than 200 bucks is a scam.

✓ I believe that shoes are very important in an outfit, but paying more than 200 bucks is a scam.

Unnecessary definite article 'the' before 'shoes' makes it too specific; remove it for general statement. Also add a gerund or verb 'paying' to make the second clause grammatical. Suggest: 'I think shoes are important in an outfit, but paying over $200 is a scam.'

× Previously I preferred the fashionable shoes, but right now I'm getting older and I like comfortable shoes.

✓ Previously I preferred fashionable shoes, but now I'm getting older and I prefer comfortable shoes.

Remove the definite article 'the' for general preference, and use consistent verb for current preference: 'prefer' instead of 'like' to match contrast. Also 'right now' and 'now' both OK; use one. Suggest: 'I used to prefer fashionable shoes, but now I prefer comfortable ones.'

× Also like moccasini and elegant shoes because I dress more elegant and fancy.

✓ I also like moccasins and elegant shoes because I dress more elegantly and fancily.

Multiple issues: 'moccasini' is Italian; in English use 'moccasins'. 'Also like' is missing subject 'I'. 'Elegant' is an adjective; to modify the verb 'dress' use adverb 'elegantly'. 'Fancy' as an adverb becomes 'fancily', but 'more elegantly and more fancily' is awkward—better: 'because I tend to dress more elegantly and fancily' or 'because I dress more elegantly and more formally.' Suggest: 'I also like moccasins and elegant shoes because I tend to dress more elegantly.'
