Part 1
考官
Do you like shopping?
考生
Who doesn't like shopping? Shopping is satisfying. As long as I have money, I would buy everything I want and bring them home. Yeah.
考官
Do you compare prices when you shop? Why?
考生
Why of course everyone would compare prices. I guess because I'm not a millionaire or billionaire and right now I'm doing a part time job to support myself financially so I hope I can make every penny account.
考官
Is it difficult for you to make choices when you shop?
考生
I don't think so. And when I want to buy something, that's usually what I really need. And I'm a rational consumer. I won't buy things compulsively, so it's easy for me to make choice.
考官
Do you think expensive products are always better than cheaper ones?
考生
Yeah, I think so to some extent. Uh, there isn't going there is a go saying goes you get what you pay for. Expensive products are usually famous, are usually from famous brands and they're trustworthy and rely.
Do you like shopping?
分數: 68.0建議: Be more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence that directly answers the question, then add one brief supporting reason or example. Avoid rhetorical questions and redundancy like repeating similar ideas. Also limit to 2–3 sentences to sound more natural.
範例: Yes, I enjoy shopping. It’s satisfying because I like finding items that make daily life easier or more enjoyable, for example a comfortable jacket I wear often.
Do you compare prices when you shop? Why?
分數: 72.0建議: Give a direct, natural answer and use clearer, more concise phrasing. State the main reason first, then add one specific detail. Avoid exaggerated statements and fix grammatical errors (e.g., 'make every penny count').
範例: Yes, I always compare prices because I’m on a part-time salary and need to budget carefully. For example, I usually check two or three shops online to find the best deal before I buy.
Is it difficult for you to make choices when you shop?
分數: 76.0建議: Provide a clear topic sentence and combine supporting points into one coherent sentence using linking words. Correct small grammar mistakes (e.g., 'make choices') and avoid repeating the same idea. Give one concrete example to strengthen your answer.
範例: Not usually — I find it easy to choose because I buy only what I need. For instance, if I need new shoes I compare styles and prices briefly and then pick the pair that fits my budget and purpose.
Do you think expensive products are always better than cheaper ones?
分數: 60.0建議: Be more balanced and precise. Start with a clear opinion (e.g., 'Not always'), then explain with one or two specific reasons and an example. Avoid filler words and correct grammar (e.g., 'there is a saying: you get what you pay for'). Use linking words like 'however' or 'but' to show contrast.
範例: Not always. While the saying 'you get what you pay for' can be true because some expensive brands offer better materials or warranties, cheaper products can be equally good for simple tasks — for example, a budget phone may work perfectly for calls and messaging.
× Who doesn't like shopping?
✓ Who doesn't like shopping?
No grammar error matching the provided list; sentence is correct.
× Shopping is satisfying.
✓ Shopping is satisfying.
No grammar error matching the provided list; sentence is correct.
× As long as I have money, I would buy everything I want and bring them home.
✓ As long as I have money, I will buy everything I want and bring it home.
Modal verb usage (ID 4) and singular/plural issue (ID 1): 'would' suggests conditional or hypothetical but context indicates a routine or future intention after 'as long as', so 'will' is appropriate. 'Everything' is singular, so the pronoun referring back should be 'it' rather than 'them'. Suggestion: use 'will' for intent and match pronoun number to 'everything'.
× Why of course everyone would compare prices.
✓ Why, of course, everyone would compare prices.
Modal verb usage (ID 4): The sentence is mainly punctuation/fluency; however 'would' is acceptable for general tendency but 'does' or 'will' can be clearer: 'everyone does compare prices' or 'everyone would compare prices' is conversational. Suggestion: add commas for clarity; alternatively use 'does' for present habit: 'Why, of course, everyone does compare prices.'
× I guess because I'm not a millionaire or billionaire and right now I'm doing a part time job to support myself financially so I hope I can make every penny account.
✓ I guess it's because I'm not a millionaire or billionaire, and right now I'm doing a part-time job to support myself financially, so I hope I can make every penny count.
Present tense issue (ID 6), incorrect use of adjectives/adverbs (ID 13) and incorrect use of collocation/word choice: 'doing a part time job' needs hyphen 'part-time' as an adjective; 'make every penny account' is wrong collocation — correct phrase is 'make every penny count'. Also add 'it's' after 'I guess' for a complete clause and commas for clarity.
× I don't think so.
✓ I don't think so.
No grammar error matching the provided list; sentence is correct.
× And when I want to buy something, that's usually what I really need.
✓ When I want to buy something, it's usually because I really need it.
Present tense issue (ID 6) and pronoun issue (ID 12): 'that's usually what I really need' is awkward and uses incorrect pronoun reference. Better: 'it's usually because I really need it' — matches subject and clarifies cause. Suggestion: replace 'that's' with 'it's usually because' and use 'it' to refer to 'something'.
× And I'm a rational consumer.
✓ I'm a rational consumer.
Sentence structure issue (ID 26): Starting with 'And' is conversational but not necessary; grammatically the sentence is fine. Suggestion: omit the leading conjunction in formal responses.
× I won't buy things compulsively, so it's easy for me to make choice.
✓ I won't buy things compulsively, so it's easy for me to make choices.
Subject-verb agreement / singular and plural issue (IDs 27 and 1): 'make choice' is incorrect; use plural 'make choices' or 'make a choice'. Suggestion: use 'make choices' to match general meaning.
× Yeah, I think so to some extent.
✓ Yes, I think so to some extent.
Present tense issue (ID 6): 'Yeah' is informal but not a grammar error; change to 'Yes' for formality. Otherwise sentence is grammatically acceptable.
× Uh, there isn't going there is a go saying goes you get what you pay for.
✓ There is a saying: 'You get what you pay for.'
Sentence structure issue (ID 26): The original is garbled and ungrammatical. Correct structure: 'There is a saying' followed by the proverb. Suggestion: simplify and use correct phrasing and punctuation.
× Expensive products are usually famous, are usually from famous brands and they're trustworthy and rely.
✓ Expensive products are usually from well-known brands and they're trustworthy and reliable.
Singular and plural/word choice issues (ID 1) and incorrect use of adjectives/adverbs (ID 13): 'famous' repeated is redundant; better 'well-known'. 'Rely' is a verb and incorrect here; the intended adjective is 'reliable'. Suggestion: use 'well-known' and 'reliable' and avoid repetition.
