Do you like shopping?
分數: 58.0建議: Be clear and natural: start with a direct topic sentence, avoid errors (e.g. "I love shopping" not "I love you shopping"), reduce fillers (uh), and keep it concise (max 3–4 sentences). Add one specific detail with a linking word. Vary vocabulary (e.g. 'mall', 'boutique', 'seasonal').
範例: Yes, I love shopping. I usually go to the nearby mall because it has several clothing stores, and I tend to buy seasonal items that match current trends. For example, I often purchase light dresses in summer and layered coats in winter.
Do you compare prices when you shop? Why?
分數: 64.0建議: Structure your answer: give a clear topic sentence, then one or two supporting reasons using linking words (because, so, therefore). Correct grammar (e.g. 'expensive things are not always better' and 'cheaper ones can be better'). Use precise vocabulary like 'compare prices', 'quality', 'value for money'. Keep it within 3–4 sentences.
範例: Yes, I always compare prices because expensive items are not always better in quality. For example, cheaper brands sometimes offer similar durability, so I check both price and reviews across different shops. Therefore I choose the option that gives the best value for money.
Is it difficult for you to make choices when you shop?
分數: 50.0建議: Provide a direct topic sentence and clear supporting detail. Fix tense and phrasing (e.g. 'Before I go shopping, I decide what to buy'). Avoid vague fragments and questions. Explain briefly how you prepare (list, research, budget) using linking words like 'because' or 'so'.
範例: No, it's not difficult for me because I usually make a shopping list before I go. For instance, I check my wardrobe and write down needed items, so I buy only what I planned and avoid indecision.
Do you think expensive products are always better than cheaper ones?
分數: 56.0建議: Avoid absolute claims. Use cautious language and give balanced reasons (e.g. 'not always' or 'often'). Improve grammar: 'expensive products often last longer' and 'cheaper ones may break sooner'. Provide a specific example and linking words like 'however' or 'for example'.
範例: Not always. Expensive products often have better materials and last longer; for example, I prefer to spend more on shoes because high-quality leather lasts several years. However, for some items like trendy accessories, cheaper options can be perfectly adequate.
× 'Yes, I love you shopping.'
✓ 'Yes, I love shopping.'
'You' is incorrect here and causes a subject-pronoun error and breaks subject-verb relation; the sentence needs the verb love followed by the gerund shopping to mean enjoying the activity. Remove the extraneous pronoun.'
× 'So I usually go shopping near my shopping malls and uh, for instance, I often buy the same clothes because I love the fashion.'
✓ 'So I usually go shopping near my local mall, and for instance, I often buy similar clothes because I like fashion.'
'my shopping malls' is awkward and uses incorrect noun form and possessive; 'the fashion' is incorrect article/adjective use. Use singular 'mall' or 'local mall' and 'similar clothes' or 'the same clothes' and 'like fashion' to express general interest. This corrects noun choice and article/adjective usage.'
× 'So I change the clothes dependent on the seasons.'
✓ 'So I change my clothes depending on the season.'
'dependent on' is an adjective phrase that needs rephrasing; use 'depending on' to indicate condition and change 'the clothes' to 'my clothes' and 'seasons' to singular 'season' or keep plural 'seasons' with 'depending on the seasons.' This fixes preposition/phrase and possessive.'
× 'Yes, of course, because the expensive things is not always be the precious one, because some cheaper one is sometimes better than the expensive 1.'
✓ 'Yes, of course, because expensive things are not always the best, and some cheaper items are sometimes better than expensive ones.'
'The sentence has multiple subject-verb agreement and article/word choice errors. 'The expensive things is' should be 'expensive things are' (plural agreement). 'Not always be the precious one' is ungrammatical; use 'not always the best' or 'not always better.' 'Some cheaper one' should be 'some cheaper items' and 'the expensive 1' must be 'expensive ones.' This fixes agreement, pluralization, and word choice.'
× 'So I usually compare the prices that in the different shops and I choose the one which is the most suitable for me and I it's the most affordable one.'
✓ 'So I usually compare prices in different shops and choose the option that is most suitable and affordable for me.'
'Compare the prices that in the different shops' contains incorrect relative clause and article use; say 'compare prices in different shops.' 'I choose the one which is the most suitable for me and I it's the most affordable one' has redundancy and wrong pronoun 'it's' after 'I.' Combine and simplify to remove extra pronoun and ensure subject-verb agreement.'
× 'No, it isn't because before I'll go shopping, I decided what to buy and what do you choose? The things.'
✓ 'No, it isn't, because before I go shopping, I decide what to buy.'
Tense inconsistency: 'before I'll go shopping, I decided' mixes future and past. Use present simple 'I decide before I go shopping' to describe habitual action. Also 'what do you choose? The things.' is unclear and incorrect; remove or replace with 'what to buy.' This corrects tense and sentence structure.'
× 'So I often go shopping with the decision. So I didn't, uh.'
✓ 'So I often go shopping with a decision already made.'
'I didn't' is incomplete and incorrect here; likely meant 'I didn't have trouble' or similar. Better to say 'with a decision already made' to convey prior planning. This fixes sentence structure and verb usage.'
× 'Yes, I think so, because the expensive one and we can use for a long time.'
✓ 'Yes, I think so, because expensive products can often be used for a long time.'
'The expensive one and we can use for a long time' is ungrammatical: incorrect pronoun 'we' and missing verb structure. Use 'expensive products can often be used' to state a general tendency. This corrects pronoun and verb form.'
× 'Conversely, the cheaper one is, uh, is broken as soon as possible.'
✓ 'Conversely, cheaper ones often break very quickly.'
'Is broken as soon as possible' incorrectly uses passive and awkward phrasing; use active 'break' and plural 'cheaper ones' to generalize. This fixes verb tense/voice and plurality.'
× 'So I usually pick up the expensive one when I choose shoes. So I love to wear the shoes for a long time.'
✓ 'So I usually choose more expensive shoes because I like to wear them for a long time.'
'Pick up the expensive one when I choose shoes' is awkward; use 'choose more expensive shoes.' 'I love to wear the shoes' should be 'I like to wear them' to avoid article misuse and repeat. This corrects word choice and pronoun reference.'
