× Yes, I love shopping, especially when it comes to shopping for myself.
✓ Yes, I love shopping, especially when it comes to buying things for myself.
The original repeats 'shopping' unnecessarily and uses a less natural phrase 'shopping for myself'. Replacing the second 'shopping' with 'buying things' improves clarity and naturalness; no tense or agreement change is required.
× I love buying things for me, I the most I like is shopping, uh, my clothes and the shoes, uh, whenever I go out, I often buy a pair of shoes and uh, some clothes for me.
✓ I love buying things for myself. What I like most is shopping for my clothes and shoes. Whenever I go out, I often buy a pair of shoes or some clothes for myself.
The reflexive pronoun 'myself' should be used instead of 'me' when the subject and object are the same. The original is also run-on and awkward; splitting into shorter sentences clarifies meaning. Use 'what I like most' and 'shopping for my clothes and shoes' for natural word order and remove filler sounds.
× Yes I do compare prices because I like to buy the stuff which are cheaper and beside having the same quality.
✓ Yes, I do compare prices because I like to buy items that are cheaper but have the same quality.
Use 'items' or 'things' instead of informal 'stuff'. 'Which are' is incorrect for things in restrictive clauses; use 'that are'. 'Beside having the same quality' is ungrammatical; replace with 'but have the same quality' to show contrast.
× For instance once I went to buy a pair of shoes and I already have checked the price online and went I went to the vendor he gave twice the price so I haven't buy it.
✓ For instance, once I went to buy a pair of shoes. I had already checked the price online, and when I went to the vendor he asked twice the price, so I didn't buy it.
Sequence of events requires past perfect 'had checked' for the action before going to the vendor. Use 'when' instead of 'went' and 'asked' (or 'quoted') for the vendor's price. 'Twice the price' is fine but clarify 'asked twice the price'. Use past simple 'didn't buy it' rather than 'haven't buy it' (wrong tense and form).
× Yes, I often get confused when the shopkeeper shows me a variety of things. I in that case I need an assistance to assist me in buying the product.
✓ Yes, I often get confused when the shopkeeper shows me a variety of things. In that case, I need assistance to help me choose the right product.
Remove the redundant 'I' after 'I in that case'. Use 'assistance' without an article or 'some assistance' (uncountable). 'Assist me in buying' is wordy; 'help me choose' is more natural and concise.
× For example, once I went for shopping and I went for buying a pair of shoes and the shopkeeper showed me a variety of shoes and I got confused which to buy and which to not.
✓ For example, once I went shopping to buy a pair of shoes. The shopkeeper showed me a variety of shoes, and I got confused about which ones to buy and which ones not to buy.
Use 'went shopping' (not 'went for shopping') and simplify 'went for buying' to 'to buy'. Add 'about' after 'confused' and use 'which ones' to refer to items. Repeat 'to buy' or use 'not to buy' for parallel structure.
× I do not think so. Sometimes expensive products are just hyped because of the brand and is not sold durable, whereas the cheaper one sometime are of very good quality despite the price.
✓ I do not think so. Sometimes expensive products are just hyped because of the brand and are not durable, whereas cheaper ones sometimes are of very good quality despite the price.
Subject-verb agreement: 'expensive products' is plural so use 'are', not 'is'. 'Not sold durable' is incorrect; use 'are not durable'. Use plural 'cheaper ones' and 'sometimes' (adverb placement) for correct form. Also ensure consistency in number and verb agreement.
