× I prefer to invest in high quality shoes because they last longer.
✓ I prefer to invest in high-quality shoes because they last longer.
The phrase 'high quality' should be hyphenated as 'high-quality' when used as a compound adjective before a noun to correctly modify 'shoes'.
× I usually choose sneakers because they are more comfortable and useful for daily life.
✓ I usually choose sneakers because they are more comfortable and useful in daily life.
The correct preposition to use with 'daily life' in this context is 'in' rather than 'for'. 'Useful in daily life' is the standard expression.
× Yes, I did that several times.
✓ Yes, I have done that several times.
The present perfect tense 'have done' is more appropriate here to indicate experience up to the present, rather than the simple past 'did'.
× I prefer online shopping because it is convenient and offers a wider variety of styles compared to physical stores.
✓ I prefer online shopping because it is convenient and offers a wider variety of styles than physical stores.
When making comparisons, 'than' is the correct conjunction to use instead of 'compared to'. 'Than' directly compares two things.
× To be honest, I prefer to invest my money in high quality shoes, which uh, are exorbitant, uh, but umm, in my opinion, uh, when the quality is high, umm, the shoes last longer and are more comfortable.
✓ To be honest, I prefer to invest my money in high-quality shoes, which are expensive, but in my opinion, when the quality is high, the shoes last longer and are more comfortable.
The word 'exorbitant' is often used to describe prices that are unreasonably high and may sound negative. 'Expensive' is a more neutral and appropriate adjective here. Also, unnecessary filler words like 'uh' and 'umm' should be omitted for clarity.
× I really prefer comfortable ones because in my opinion, umm, our body is uh, very related with our uh, umm, customs and uh, when your shoes are not comfortable enough, your whole body uh, contains stress and anxiety.
✓ I really prefer comfortable ones because, in my opinion, our body is very connected with our habits, and when your shoes are not comfortable enough, your whole body experiences stress and anxiety.
The phrase 'very related with our customs' is incorrect. The correct expression is 'very connected with our habits'. Also, 'contains stress and anxiety' is incorrect; the body 'experiences' stress and anxiety. Additionally, filler words like 'uh' and 'umm' should be removed for clarity.
