Shopping— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: 答えは直接的で内容も分かりやすいですが、いくつか改善点があります。1) “deduce stress”は不自然で誤りなので正しい表現（reduce stress）に直す必要があります。2) トピック文の後にもう1文で理由を補強し、詳細（どんな店で買ったか、どのようにリラックスできるか）を具体的に述べると高得点につながります。3) 文の数は3～4文に留め、冗長さを避けて自然に話す練習をしてください。

Example: Yes, I enjoy shopping because it helps me relax and reduce stress. For instance, browsing different shops and trying on clothes lets me take my mind off work. Yesterday I bought a pair of comfortable shoes at a local store, which made me feel rewarded.

Suggestion: 回答は直球で理由もある程度述べられていますが、語法と具体性に改善の余地があります。1) “to buy cheap one”は文法的に誤りなので、“to buy the cheaper one”など正しい表現に直してください。2) 比較する方法や具体的な基準（オンラインレビュー、セール時期など）を付け加えると内容が豊かになります。3) 接続語（for example, additionally, because）を適切に使い、論理的に繋げましょう。

Example: Yes, I often compare prices because I want to save money. For example, I usually check two or three shops and also look at online prices to find the best deal. If there is a big difference, I wait for a sale or choose the cheaper option.

Suggestion: 答えはわかりやすいですが、同じ理由を繰り返しているため内容が単調です。1) 別の視点（デザイン、品質、レビューなど）を加え、選択の難しさを具体化してください。2) 接続詞を使って情報を整理し、冗長な表現を避けましょう。3) 一例や結果（時間がかかる、時々購入を見送る等）を述べると説得力が増します。

Example: Yes, I sometimes find it hard to choose because I compare not only prices but also quality and style. For instance, I might like two similar shirts but I wait to read reviews and check materials before deciding, which can take time.

Suggestion: 意見は明確ですが“always”の断定は極端で説得力に欠け、根拠も単純です。1) 反対意見や条件付きの表現（often, in many cases）を使って柔軟に述べると自然です。2) 具体例（どの製品分野で高価格が有利か、保証やブランド価値など）を示すと説得力が増します。3) 単一の理由だけでなく複数の観点（品質、保証、アフターサービス）を挙げましょう。

Example: I think expensive products are often better than cheaper ones because they tend to use higher-quality materials and offer longer warranties. However, this isn’t always true; for everyday items like basic clothing, mid-priced options can be just as good. For example, I prefer to invest in a well-made winter coat but buy cheaper T-shirts.

× Yes, I enjoy shopping because it helps me relax and deduce stress.

✓ Yes, I enjoy shopping because it helps me relax and reduce stress.

The verb 'deduce' is incorrect here; the correct verb collocation is 'reduce stress'. Use verbs that collocate naturally with 'stress'. Suggestion: learn common verb+noun collocations such as 'reduce stress', 'relieve stress'. Note: This maps to incorrect use of verbs which best fits existing list as 'Sentence structure errors' or 'Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs', but the core issue is verb choice.

× For example, I usually check two or three shops to buy cheap one.

✓ For example, I usually check two or three shops to buy a cheap one.

The phrase 'cheap one' requires an article: 'a cheap one'. Also the intended meaning uses 'one' as a substitute noun so include the indefinite article. Suggestion: when using 'one' to replace a countable noun, include 'a' or 'the' as appropriate.

× Yes, it is difficult for me to make choices where I shop because I want to compare prices, so I go to two or three shops.

✓ Yes, it is difficult for me to make choices when I shop because I want to compare prices, so I go to two or three shops.

The subordinating word 'where' is incorrect here; the intended meaning is 'when I shop' (at the time of shopping) rather than 'where I shop' (the location). Use 'when' for time. Suggestion: choose 'when' for time clauses and 'where' for location clauses.

× I think expensive products are always better than cheaper ones because they use high quality materials so I can use them for a long time.

✓ I think expensive products are usually better than cheaper ones because they use high-quality materials, so I can use them for a long time.

'Always' is too strong for a general opinion; 'usually' is more natural. Also 'high quality' should be hyphenated as a compound adjective before a noun: 'high-quality materials'. Add a comma before the result clause for clarity. Suggestion: avoid absolute adverbs like 'always' when making general statements; use 'usually' or 'often' unless you mean no exceptions.
