Do you like buying shoes? How often?

Yes, I love fashion in general and especially shoes, so I tend to buy a lot of shoes actually. Like I would say 3 to 4 pair of shoes per month. And it's different from sneakers to heels to boots.
考官
Have you ever bought shoes online?
考生
Yes I did, but to be totally honest with you it was a bad experience. I but I bought shoes from umm Aliexpress and the quality was horrible and from that time I decided to just go to store myself to choose the shoes based on the quality I touch and see rather than just see it in pictures.

How much money do you usually spend on shoes?

Oh, it depends. Sometimes I spend a lot because I care about the quality, so I choose some brands. But sometimes I just buy something convenient and not very costly. Costly. So I would say like $400.

Which do you prefer, fashionable shoes or comfortable shoes?
考生
That's a hard question on sleep because fashionable shoes, most of the time I'm not. I'm not comfortable. But you know, beauty is pain. So I'll probably choose fashionable shoes. But for daily shoes I just go for sneakers or anything that is comfortable.

× Like I would say 3 to 4 pair of shoes per month.
✓ Like I would say 3 to 4 pairs of shoes per month.
The noun 'pair' should be plural 'pairs' when referring to more than one; use plural form after numerals greater than one. Suggestion: Use 'pairs' after '3 to 4' or rephrase as 'three or four pairs of shoes per month.'
× And it's different from sneakers to heels to boots.
✓ And they are different: sneakers, heels, and boots.
Pronoun reference and verb agreement: 'it' does not correctly refer to 'shoes' (plural). Use plural pronoun 'they' with plural verb 'are' and list items clearly. Suggestion: Use 'they are different' or rephrase to 'I buy different types, such as sneakers, heels, and boots.'
× Yes I did, but to be totally honest with you it was a bad experience. I but I bought shoes from umm Aliexpress and the quality was horrible and from that time I decided to just go to store myself to choose the shoes based on the quality I touch and see rather than just see it in pictures.
✓ Yes, I did, but to be totally honest it was a bad experience. I bought shoes from Aliexpress, and the quality was horrible, so from that time I decided to just go to the store myself to choose shoes based on the quality I can touch and see rather than just seeing them in pictures.
Multiple issues: redundant 'I but I' removed; past tense 'did' and 'bought' appropriate; missing article 'the store'; use modal/infinitive form 'can touch' to express ability; gerund 'seeing' needed after 'rather than'. Suggestion: Keep consistent past tense, include articles ('the store'), and use correct verb forms after prepositions (use gerund 'seeing').
× so I decided to just go to store myself to choose the shoes based on the quality I touch and see rather than just see it in pictures.
✓ so I decided to just go to the store myself to choose shoes based on the quality I can touch and see rather than just seeing them in pictures.
Missing definite article before 'store' ('the store'); use 'seeing them' (gerund) after 'rather than'; 'it' incorrectly refers to plural 'shoes' so use 'them'. Suggestion: Use articles with singular countable nouns and match pronouns number; use gerund after 'rather than'.
× But sometimes I just buy something convenient and not very costly. Costly.
✓ But sometimes I just buy something convenient and not very costly.
Redundant fragment 'Costly.' should be removed; sentence already completes the idea. Suggestion: Remove repeated word fragments to make sentences clear and concise.
× That's a hard question on sleep because fashionable shoes, most of the time I'm not. I'm not comfortable.
✓ That's a hard question to answer because with fashionable shoes I am often not comfortable.
Unclear phrase 'on sleep' is incorrect; sentence fragment 'most of the time I'm not' lacks an object and is confusing. Rephrase to 'a hard question to answer' and clarify the idea that fashionable shoes often make the speaker uncomfortable. Suggestion: Use standard expressions ('a hard question to answer') and ensure clauses clearly state subject and complement.
× But you know, beauty is pain. So I'll probably choose fashionable shoes.
✓ But you know, beauty is pain, so I will probably choose fashionable shoes.
Contraction 'I'll' is acceptable but ensure tense consistency and punctuation; present proverb 'beauty is pain' is fine followed by future 'I will probably choose'. Suggestion: Maintain smooth sentence flow by connecting clauses with a comma and using full forms if clearer.
× Like I would say 3 to 4 pair of shoes per month. And it's different from sneakers to heels to boots.
✓ Like I would say 3 to 4 pairs of shoes per month. And they're different: sneakers, heels, and boots.
Combined issues: 'pair' should be 'pairs' and 'it's' (it is) should be 'they're' (they are) to agree with plural noun 'shoes'. Suggestion: Ensure pronouns and verbs agree in number with their antecedents.
