Part 1
考官
Do you like shopping?
考生
Well, I am absolutely a big fan of shopping. I really enjoy doing it with my mom at weekends because shopping makes me really relaxed when I can just move around and look at something or buy it, which makes me really happy too.
考官
Do you compare prices when you shop? Why?
考生
Yeah, I do compare prices when I shop because nowadays coasts can be unfairly high and sometimes you just have to compare prices from one shop to other. And the second reason is of course because it's just out of interest where it's cheaper and.
考官
Is it difficult for you to make choices when you shop?
考生
OK absolutely yes, because I am a really uncertain person and it really hard for me to make choices when I shop, especially if it's related to clothes. So that's why I really have problems with it.
考官
Do you think expensive products are always better than cheaper ones?
考生
No, I do not think that expensive products are always better than cheaper ones because you can always find alternatives for expensive ones and there are even better ones that can be cheaper but also better. I always try to compare the quality.
Do you like shopping?
分数: 78.0建议: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid repetition (e.g., 'really' used many times) and keep to under five sentences. Also vary vocabulary (use 'visit stores' or 'browse' instead of repeating 'look at').
示例: Yes, I enjoy shopping, especially on weekends with my mom. For example, we like to browse small boutiques in our neighborhood because walking around and discovering new items helps me relax and lift my mood.
Do you compare prices when you shop? Why?
分数: 69.0建议: Clarify and correct mistakes: use precise vocabulary ('costs' not 'coasts'), and give a single coherent reason followed by a specific example. Use linking words like 'because' and 'for example' but avoid trailing fragments. Keep it to two or three sentences.
示例: Yes, I always compare prices because costs can vary a lot between shops. For example, I often check the same jacket online and in-store to find the best deal before I buy it.
Is it difficult for you to make choices when you shop?
分数: 72.0建议: Be grammatically accurate and more specific: start with a clear topic sentence, then give a specific reason and an example. Fix grammar (e.g., 'it is really hard' or 'it's hard for me'), and avoid unnecessary filler words like 'really' repeated several times.
示例: Yes, I find it difficult to make choices when shopping because I'm indecisive about styles and fit. For instance, when buying clothes I often struggle to choose between two similar shirts and need to try both on before deciding.
Do you think expensive products are always better than cheaper ones?
分数: 80.0建议: This answer is clear but slightly repetitive. Provide a concise opinion, then give a specific criterion or example to support it. Use linking words like 'however' or 'for example' to structure the response and avoid repeating 'better' closely.
示例: No, I don't think expensive products are always better; quality depends on the item and brand. For example, I once bought a mid-range kitchen knife that performed better than a more expensive brand because I compared materials and user reviews.
× Well, I am absolutely a big fan of shopping.
✓ Well, I am absolutely a big fan of shopping.
No correction needed; sentence is grammatical. (No 'the' issue present.)
× I really enjoy doing it with my mom at weekends because shopping makes me really relaxed when I can just move around and look at something or buy it, which makes me really happy too.
✓ I really enjoy doing it with my mom at weekends because shopping relaxes me when I can just move around and look at things or buy them, which also makes me really happy.
Use simple present 'relaxes' instead of 'makes me really relaxed' for natural state; use plural 'things' and plural pronoun 'them' to match plural referents; move 'also' to sound natural. These are present tense and noun/pronoun consistency improvements.
× Yeah, I do compare prices when I shop because nowadays coasts can be unfairly high and sometimes you just have to compare prices from one shop to other.
✓ Yeah, I do compare prices when I shop because nowadays costs can be unfairly high and sometimes you just have to compare prices from one shop to another.
Spelling: 'coasts' should be 'costs'. Also use the preposition 'another' after 'to' to indicate comparison between shops. This fixes a vocabulary and preposition error.
× And the second reason is of course because it's just out of interest where it's cheaper and.
✓ The second reason is, of course, that I'm just interested in where things are cheaper.
Avoid ending with a conjunction and use 'that' to introduce the clause. Restructure to 'I'm just interested in where things are cheaper' for clarity and grammatical completeness.
× OK absolutely yes, because I am a really uncertain person and it really hard for me to make choices when I shop, especially if it's related to clothes.
✓ OK, absolutely yes, because I am a really uncertain person and it is really hard for me to make choices when I shop, especially if they are related to clothes.
Missing verb 'is' after 'it' creates an error; replace 'it's' with 'they are' to refer to 'choices' (plural). This fixes sentence agreement and present tense verb omission.
× So that's why I really have problems with it.
✓ So that's why I really have problems with it.
No correction needed; sentence is grammatical and matches present tense context.
× No, I do not think that expensive products are always better than cheaper ones because you can always find alternatives for expensive ones and there are even better ones that can be cheaper but also better.
✓ No, I do not think that expensive products are always better than cheaper ones because you can always find alternatives to expensive items, and there are even better products that can be cheaper as well.
Use 'alternatives to' rather than 'for', and prefer 'items' or 'products' for clarity. Rephrase 'can be cheaper but also better' to 'can be cheaper as well' to avoid repetition and improve clarity.
× I always try to compare the quality.
✓ I always try to compare quality.
Both versions are acceptable; removing 'the' makes the sentence more natural when speaking generally about comparing quality. This is a minor article/style suggestion rather than a strict grammatical error.
