Shopping— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more natural and concise: start with a clear topic sentence, then add one specific supporting detail. Avoid repetition and awkward phrasing (e.g., “for future use”). Use linking words if you add a reason.

Example: No, I don't enjoy shopping much. I prefer to buy practical things, such as groceries and work clothes, so I save money for emergencies or travel.

Suggestion: Give a direct topic sentence then a clear reason with specific details. Remove unclear fragments like “communicating the price” and “MMM.” Use linking words (because, so) and correct grammar (money is valuable).

Example: Yes, I always compare prices because I want the best value. For example, when I buy electronics I check online reviews and prices so I can avoid overpaying.

Suggestion: Make a coherent single-answer sentence with a specific reason or example. Eliminate filler sounds like “MMM” and fragmented phrases. Use linking words to introduce reasons (because, since).

Example: Yes, I often find it hard to decide because there are too many options; for instance, in shopping centres I spend a long time comparing styles and prices before choosing.

Suggestion: Avoid overgeneralisation. Start with a clear opinion, then give a balanced reason with a specific example. Remove fillers and fix word order and article use. Use linking words to show contrast (however, but) if you acknowledge exceptions.

Example: Not always; expensive products are often better because they use higher-quality materials and last longer, but sometimes cheaper items offer similar performance. For example, I bought a mid-range phone that matched a flagship model in everyday use.

× No, I don't usually shop much. I prefer to spend my money on more practical items and for future use.

✓ No, I don't usually shop much. I prefer to spend my money on more practical items for future use.

The original sentence contains an unnecessary conjunction 'and' before 'for future use' which creates a slight coordination problem and redundancy. Removing 'and' makes the sentence flow correctly: 'prefer to spend my money on more practical items for future use.' Ensure the verb tense (present simple 'don't shop', 'prefer') matches habitual actions.

× Yes, of course communicating the price of products is necessary because MMM money is a valuable.

✓ Yes, of course comparing the price of products is necessary because money is valuable.

Multiple issues: 'communicating' is incorrect in context; 'comparing' fits the question about comparing prices. 'MMM' appears as filler and should be removed. 'a valuable' incorrectly uses the indefinite article with an uncountable noun 'money'; remove 'a'. Also 'the price' should be plural 'prices' or 'the price of products'—here 'comparing the price of products' or 'comparing prices' are both correct. The corrected sentence uses present participle 'comparing' and removes the article error.

× Yes, I find it very difficult to me to decide what to buy. MMM. As shopping centers.

✓ Yes, I find it very difficult to decide what to buy.

The phrase 'difficult to me to decide' has incorrect word order and an unnecessary pronoun 'me'. English uses 'I find it difficult to do something' or 'It is difficult for me to decide.' Remove 'me' in the first structure. 'MMM' and 'As shopping centers' are filler fragments with no clear meaning and should be omitted. Maintain present simple tense for habitual or general statements.

× Yes, I think most expensive products are usually. Good a better than cheaper ones because MMM the materials they used are usually.

✓ Yes, I think most expensive products are usually better than cheaper ones because the materials they use are usually higher quality.

Several errors: 'most expensive products are usually.' ends abruptly and contains a dangling adverb. Remove unnecessary words and reorder: 'usually better than'. 'Good a better' is incorrect word order and article use; use comparative 'better'. 'MMM' filler removed. 'the materials they used are usually' uses past tense 'used' incorrectly in a general statement; present simple 'use' is correct. Also 'materials are usually higher quality' clarifies meaning. Ensure subject-verb agreement: 'they use' not 'they used'.
