Do you like buying shoes? How often?
考生
How often? I'm not particularly a big fan of buying new footwear, so I usually purchase one or two pairs of shoes per year to ensure I have something appropriate to wear for different seasons. For instance, I would buy winter boots to keep my feet warm during the cold weather.
考官
Have you ever bought shoes online?
考生
Yes, I have bought shoes multiple times online, especially when I need to buy training or running sneakers. I tend to search the entire website to find something I like and then I will compare the prices from different websites and eventually I will make a purchase.
考官
How much money do you usually spend on shoes?
考生
Shoes because I don't buy shoes very often, so I tend to invest in high quality pairs. Usually I spend around €100 or even more because I prefer shoes than are durable and comfortable and so that they could last long.
考官

× I tend to search the entire website to find something I like and then I will compare the prices from different websites and eventually I will make a purchase.
✓ I tend to search the entire website to find something I like and then I will compare the prices on different websites and eventually I will make a purchase.
The preposition 'from' is incorrectly used with 'prices'. The correct preposition to indicate the source of prices on websites is 'on'. Therefore, 'compare the prices from different websites' should be 'compare the prices on different websites'.
× Usually I spend around €100 or even more because I prefer shoes than are durable and comfortable and so that they could last long.
✓ Usually I spend around €100 or even more because I prefer shoes that are durable and comfortable so that they can last long.
The phrase 'prefer shoes than are durable' is incorrect. The correct relative pronoun is 'that' to introduce the clause describing the shoes. Also, 'so that they could last long' should be 'so that they can last long' to express ability or possibility in the present/future. Additionally, 'last long' is acceptable but 'last a long time' would be more natural.
× I would always choose comfortable shoes or fashionable shoes because I need to walk a lot daily so then I really need a pair of shoes and could take me from pain.
✓ I would always choose comfortable shoes rather than fashionable ones because I need to walk a lot daily, so I really need a pair of shoes that can prevent pain.
The original sentence is awkward and unclear. 'Or' should be replaced with 'rather than' to show preference. The phrase 'could take me from pain' is incorrect; it should be 'that can prevent pain' or 'that protect me from pain'. Also, the sentence needs better punctuation and structure for clarity.
× Umm Second of all, I think I just don't care about my appearance so much umm so I just want to make myself relax.
✓ Secondly, I think I just don't care about my appearance so much, so I just want to make myself feel relaxed.
The phrase 'Second of all' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'Secondly'. Also, 'make myself relax' is incorrect; it should be 'make myself feel relaxed' or 'relax myself'. The sentence also benefits from proper punctuation for clarity.
