Part 1
考官
Do you like buying shoes? How often?
考生
Yes, I love buying shoes. I believe that shoes are a part of our character and the way we dress up reveals a lot about ourselves. So having the right shoes shows your personality. And I often buy it every two months just because I need it to fit every clothes of mine.
考官
Have you ever bought shoes online?
考生
Yes, I once bought an online pair of shoes and I decided not to buy it anymore. This is because online pair and an actual pair the size aren't the same when you buy and I feel like it's a waste of money and we should actually try out ourselves at the shop so we can know if it actually fits our foot.
考官
How much money do you usually spend on shoes?
考生
It actually depends on the circumstances. For example, attending an event often requires a fresh approach and for this reason I would buy a new pair of shoes that would cost approximately 5000 baht. By varying the same shoes every single time or to the event, it wouldn't be so respectful.
考官
Which do you prefer, fashionable shoes or comfortable shoes?
考生
I pretty much refer fashionable shoes. This is because my family is from Hong Kong and most of the family members are an artist and the baby dress pretty much reveals our character and our personality to others.

× And I often buy it every two months just because I need it to fit every clothes of mine.
✓ And I often buy them every two months just because I need them to fit every piece of clothing of mine.
The word 'it' is singular, but 'shoes' is plural, so 'them' should be used. Also, 'clothes' is plural and should be preceded by 'every piece of' to indicate individual items. This corrects the singular/plural mismatch and clarifies the meaning.
× Yes, I once bought an online pair of shoes and I decided not to buy it anymore.
✓ Yes, I once bought a pair of shoes online and I decided not to buy them anymore.
The phrase 'an online pair of shoes' is awkward; 'a pair of shoes online' is more natural. Also, 'pair of shoes' is singular, but 'shoes' is plural, so 'them' should be used instead of 'it' when referring to the shoes. This corrects the singular/plural inconsistency and improves phrasing.
× This is because online pair and an actual pair the size aren't the same when you buy and I feel like it's a waste of money and we should actually try out ourselves at the shop so we can know if it actually fits our foot.
✓ This is because the size of the online pair and the actual pair aren't the same when you buy, and I feel like it's a waste of money. We should actually try them on ourselves at the shop so we can know if they actually fit our feet.
The sentence has singular/plural mismatches: 'pair' is singular but refers to shoes which are plural, so pronouns should be plural ('them', 'they', 'feet'). Also, 'try out ourselves' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'try them on ourselves'. This correction addresses singular/plural agreement and proper idiomatic expressions.
× I once bought an online pair of shoes and I decided not to buy it anymore.
✓ I once bought a pair of shoes online and I decided not to buy them anymore.
The preposition 'online' should follow the noun phrase 'a pair of shoes' to correctly indicate where the purchase was made. Placing 'online' before 'pair' is unnatural. This correction improves the natural use of prepositions.
× I once bought an online pair of shoes and I decided not to buy it anymore.
✓ I once bought a pair of shoes online and I decided not to buy them anymore.
The pronoun 'it' is singular but refers to 'shoes', which is plural. The correct pronoun is 'them' to match the plural noun. This correction fixes pronoun agreement.
× we should actually try out ourselves at the shop so we can know if it actually fits our foot.
✓ we should actually try them on ourselves at the shop so we can know if they actually fit our feet.
The phrase 'try out ourselves' is incorrect; the correct phrasal verb is 'try them on ourselves'. Also, 'fits our foot' should be plural 'fit our feet' because shoes cover both feet. This correction addresses preposition and pluralization errors.
× By varying the same shoes every single time or to the event, it wouldn't be so respectful.
✓ By wearing the same shoes every single time to the event, it wouldn't be so respectful.
The phrase 'varying the same shoes' is incorrect; the correct verb is 'wearing'. Also, 'or to the event' is incorrect; it should be 'to the event'. This correction fixes the misuse of verbs and prepositions.
× I pretty much refer fashionable shoes.
✓ I pretty much prefer fashionable shoes.
The verb 'refer' is incorrect here; the correct verb is 'prefer'. This correction fixes the incorrect verb usage.
× most of the family members are an artist and the baby dress pretty much reveals our character and our personality to others.
✓ most of the family members are artists and the baby dress pretty much reveals our character and our personality to others.
'Most of the family members are an artist' is incorrect because 'an artist' is singular but refers to multiple members. It should be 'artists' plural. This correction fixes singular/plural agreement.
