Do you like shopping?
Score: 65.0Suggestion: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid fillers (uh), correct grammar (e.g., “remind me” unclear), and provide one or two specific supporting details linked logically. Keep answers to a maximum of about 3–4 short sentences.
Example: Yes, I enjoy shopping because it helps me relax. For example, browsing local markets lets me discover new styles and small shops, which I find inspiring. Because of that, shopping feels both refreshing and useful to me.

Score: 58.0Suggestion: Open with a clear direct answer, correct grammar (e.g., “it is very difficult” → “it’s difficult”), remove redundant words, and give a specific example of what makes choice hard. Use a linking phrase like “because” or “for example.”

Do you think expensive products are always better than cheaper ones?
Score: 50.0Suggestion: Avoid making absolute statements; present a balanced opinion and specific reasons. Correct grammar (plural/singular agreement), use linking words (“however,” “for example”), and give a brief counterpoint to show critical thinking.
Example: I don’t think expensive products are always better. While pricier items can be more durable or better made, cheaper options can offer good value; for example, I buy affordable electronics when reviews show they perform well, but I invest in a more expensive pair of shoes for long-term comfort.
× Yes, I like the shopping most because I can relax after some shopping and it also remind me uh.
✓ Yes, I like shopping the most because I can relax after shopping and it also reminds me.
Incorrect use of the definite article 'the' before an uncountable activity 'shopping' and subject-verb agreement: 'shopping' as an activity does not need 'the' here, and the verb must be 'reminds' to agree with singular subject 'it'. Remove the extra 'some' and filler. Suggestion: use 'like shopping the most' and match verb to subject.
× Moreover, I can, uh, unwind and explore new things in the market, which is a very crucial for myself.
✓ Moreover, I can unwind and explore new things in the market, which is very important to me.
Incorrect adjective usage: 'crucial' is an adjective that should be followed by 'for' with a noun, but here 'a very crucial for myself' is ungrammatical. Also 'myself' is incorrect reflexive use; use 'me'. Use 'very important to me' for clarity.
× Yes, I compare price during shopping time because some shoppers provide offers and discount which is very convenient and I can save my money.
✓ Yes, I compare prices when I shop because some sellers offer discounts, which is very convenient and helps me save money.
Plural/singular and article issues: 'price' should be plural 'prices' when comparing multiple items. 'During shopping time' is unnatural; use 'when I shop'. 'Shoppers' is the wrong noun — use 'sellers' or 'stores'. 'Offers and discount' should be 'offers and discounts' or simply 'discounts'. Also improve sentence flow and subject-verb agreement ('helps me save').
× After that some prices are cheapest as well as.
✓ Also, some prices are much cheaper afterwards.
Incorrect comparative/superlative form: 'cheapest' is a superlative and needs a clear comparison or group; use comparative 'cheaper' to compare prices. 'After that' is awkward; 'afterwards' or 'later' is better. Remove 'as well as' which is incomplete.
× Well, I'm a picky person and it is a very difficult to choose one variety for myself because in shops there are various types of clothes or other things which are very convenient and I choose my according taste.
✓ Well, I'm a picky person and it is very difficult to choose one item for myself because shops have various types of clothes and other things, and I choose according to my taste.
Article and word choice errors: 'a very difficult' should be 'very difficult' (adjective form needed), 'one variety' is unnatural — use 'one item'. 'In shops there are various types of clothes' is fine but streamline to 'shops have'. 'Which are very convenient' is irrelevant and incorrect; remove. 'I choose my according taste' should be 'I choose according to my taste'.
× I think expensive product are always better than cheaper.
✓ I think expensive products are always better than cheaper ones.
Singular/plural and comparison errors: 'product' should be plural 'products' to match subject. The second noun must be explicit: 'cheaper ones'. Maintain parallel structure: 'expensive products ... cheaper ones'.
× There are various reason behind it.
✓ There are various reasons behind that.
Number agreement and word choice: 'reason' should be plural 'reasons' to match 'various'. 'Behind it' can be 'behind that' or 'for this belief'; choose natural phrasing.
× First of all, expensive products are durable and comfortable and it also provide light and feel as compared to the cheaper.
✓ First of all, expensive products are more durable and comfortable, and they also provide a better look and feel compared to cheaper ones.
Multiple issues: parallelism and subject-verb agreement — 'expensive products' is plural so use 'they' and 'provide' (not 'it provide'). Use comparative 'more durable' and 'compared to cheaper ones'. 'Light' is incorrect word choice for appearance; use 'look' and 'feel'. Ensure parallel structure with commas and conjunctions.
