Shopping— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Make your answer more natural and concise: start with a clear topic sentence, correct small grammar errors, avoid redundancy, and use one or two specific details with a linking word. Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Example: Yes, I enjoy shopping. I usually shop for special occasions like my birthday or New Year, mainly to find a nice dress and matching accessories. In addition, I like browsing for new styles because picking items that suit me makes me feel more confident.

Suggestion: Correct grammar and clarify comparisons: begin with a direct statement, use linking words (because, however), and give a clear reason with one specific example. Avoid awkward phrases like "pay the strictly higher price."

Example: Generally no, if prices are very similar I don't bother comparing them because I focus on quality and convenience. However, if one shop is closer or has much better customer service, I am willing to pay a slightly higher price for the better experience.

Suggestion: Organize and correct your response: give a clear topic sentence, then explain your approach with coherent supporting details. Remove unclear fragments and provide a concrete example—mention specific factors you compare (price, quality, reviews). Keep sentences grammatically correct and linked.

Example: Not really. If I know what I want I decide quickly and buy it straight away. Otherwise, I compare a few alternatives by looking at price, quality and online reviews before choosing, which helps me avoid regrets.

Suggestion: Your answer is clear but brief. Expand with one supporting reason and an example using linking words (for example, because, for instance) to show evaluation skills and make your response more informative.

Example: No, expensive products are not always better because quality varies between brands. For example, a mid-range phone from a reputable brand can outperform an expensive one if it has better components and build quality.

× To be honest, I'm a big fan of shopping.

✓ To be honest, I'm a big fan of shopping.

No grammatical error; sentence correctly uses present simple to state a general preference.

× I often go shopping when there's a special occasion by my birthday or New Year's, and I usually go to shopping more to find a nice dress and some matching accessory.

✓ I often go shopping for special occasions like my birthday or New Year's, and I usually go shopping more to find a nice dress and some matching accessories.

Use 'for' with 'special occasions' (preposition error). 'Like' is better than 'by' to give examples. Remove 'to' after 'go' when using 'go shopping'. 'Accessories' should be plural to match 'some' (singular/plural issue).

× I also enjoy browsing for new style and picking things that make me feel confident.

✓ I also enjoy browsing for new styles and picking things that make me feel confident.

'New style' should be plural 'new styles' to refer to different fashions (singular/plural issue). Grammar correct otherwise.

× If price very similar, I usually don't bother comparing them because then I choose based on quality or convenient for instead.

✓ If the prices are very similar, I usually don't bother comparing them because I then choose based on quality or convenience.

Missing article 'the' before 'prices' and missing verb 'are' (therefore 'There be issue' and 'present tense issue' but primary is sentence structure). 'Convenient' is an adjective; 'convenience' (noun) fits after 'based on'. Reorder 'then' to 'I then' for natural flow.

× If one shop is a little bit closer or offer better customer service, I will pay the strictly higher price.

✓ If one shop is a little bit closer or offers better customer service, I will pay the slightly higher price.

Subject-verb agreement: 'one shop' requires third person singular verb 'offers' (third person singular issue). 'Strictly higher' is incorrect collocation; use 'slightly higher' to indicate a small price difference.

× Well not really, if I really know what I want I usually make quick decisions and buy it straight away.

✓ Well, not really. If I really know what I want, I usually make quick decisions and buy things straight away.

Add punctuation for clarity. 'Buy it' is unclear when referring to choices in general; plural 'things' matches 'decisions' (sentence structure and pronoun match issue).

× That's why I compare a few alternative.

✓ That's why I compare a few alternatives.

'Alternative' should be plural 'alternatives' when used with 'a few' (quantifier + noun agreement).

× For example I take price and restart.

✓ For example, I consider the price and return items if necessary.

Original is unclear and ungrammatical. 'Take price' is not idiomatic; 'consider the price' is natural. 'Restart' is incorrect in context; likely meant 'return' or 'rethink'. This correction makes the sentence meaningful.

× Review an early post if I unsure about that.

✓ I review an earlier post if I am unsure about that.

Missing subject and auxiliary verb: add 'I' and 'am' for present tense. 'Early' should be 'earlier' (comparative) to indicate a prior post (adjective form).

× I don't think expensive products are always better.

✓ I don't think expensive products are always better.

Sentence is correct; present simple appropriately expresses general opinion.

× It depends on the brand's quality and how the product is made.

✓ It depends on the brand's quality and how the product is made.

Sentence is correct; preposition 'on' is properly used with 'depends'. No change needed.
