Part 1

Do you like buying shoes? How often?

Score: 68.0

Suggestion: 回答は意味が伝わりますが、表現がやや冗長で同じ内容が繰り返されています。トピック文で直接答え、その後に1〜2の具体的な理由や頻度を明確に述べると良いです。また、語彙を増やして「energetic」以外の表現(e.g. confident, motivated)を使うと自然さが増します。接続詞(for example, therefore)の使い方は良いですが、同じ意味の文を繰り返さないように注意してください。

Example: Yes, I enjoy buying shoes and I usually buy them every two to three months. For example, getting a new pair makes me feel more confident and motivates me to go out more. Because of that, I often treat myself to new shoes when I want a mood boost.

Have you ever bought shoes online?

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: 回答に文法的誤りや語彙の選択ミス("both shoes"など)があるため、明瞭さが損なわれています。オンライン購入の利点と一度起きた問題(サイズが合わなかった)を明確に分けて述べ、過去形や受動態の正しい使い方を練習してください。また、接続詞で情報を整理するとわかりやすくなります。

Example: Yes, I often buy shoes online because it saves time and offers more choices. For example, I ordered a pair two weeks ago but the size didn’t fit, so I returned them and requested a replacement in the correct size.

How much money do you usually spend on shoes?

Score: 55.0

Suggestion: 内容は伝わりますが、金額や理由の表現が不明確で曖昧な言い回し("1000 lbs more", "consumed")や多くの躊躇語(uh)があるため、明瞭な金額提示と理由を簡潔に述べる練習をしてください。例えば具体的な通貨と範囲を示し、理由は耐久性やコストパフォーマンスの観点から述べると説得力が増します。

Example: It depends, but I usually spend no more than about £100 on a pair of shoes. I prefer mid-priced shoes because they are cost-effective—shoes wear out quickly, so I don’t want to pay a lot for something I’ll replace soon.

Which do you prefer, fashionable shoes or comfortable shoes?

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: 考えは明確ですが、語彙や文法に改善の余地があります("designable shoes"や二重の"I"など)。理由を順序立てて述べ、比較の際に適切な接続語(however, although)を使うとより自然です。また具体例(通勤や歩く日など)を加えると説得力が増します。

Example: I prefer comfortable shoes because I often walk long distances for work and uncomfortable shoes make that difficult. Although fashionable shoes can boost my confidence, I usually choose comfort for daily activities such as commuting or sightseeing.

Grammar

Present tense issue

× Yes, I like buying shoes because shoes make me feel more energetic.

Yes, I like buying shoes because they make me feel more energetic.

Use a pronoun to avoid repeating the noun; 'shoes' is plural so use 'they'. This is an incorrect use of pronouns (type 12) and also present tense subject-pronoun reference. Suggestion: replace repeated noun with appropriate pronoun.

Verb in the present participle form

× For example, when I buy new shoes, I feel like going out more frequently.

For example, when I buy new shoes, I feel like going out more often.

'More frequently' is grammatically correct but 'more often' is the more natural collocation with 'feel like going out'. This is an issue of word choice related to adverb usage (type 13/20). Suggestion: use natural adverb collocations: 'more often'.

Present tense issue

× Therefore, I often buy new shoes to go out more frequently.

Therefore, I often buy new shoes to go out more often.

Same collocation issue as above: 'more often' is more natural than 'more frequently' in this context. Maintain present simple tense. Suggestion: prefer 'more often'.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× Yes, I have both shoes online because it can save time to buy things.

Yes, I have bought shoes online because it can save time to buy things.

The student used 'have both' incorrectly; the intended meaning is present perfect 'have bought'. This is a verb form error (type 9/past participle) and preposition misuse. Suggestion: use 'have bought' for actions with present relevance.

Past tense issue

× For example, I ordered my shoes 2 weeks ago but it didn't suit me other size.

For example, I ordered my shoes 2 weeks ago but they didn't suit me; they were the wrong size.

Sentence has subject-verb agreement and pronoun issues: 'didn't suit me other size' is ungrammatical. Use 'they' for plural 'shoes' and 'wrong size' to express mismatch. This involves subject-verb agreement (27) and incorrect use of pronouns (12). Suggestion: use 'they didn't suit me' and 'wrong size'.

Verb in the present participle form

× Therefore I ordered to change my shoes to fit my size.

Therefore I asked to exchange my shoes for the correct size.

'Ordered to change' is awkward and incorrect for requesting an exchange. Use 'asked to exchange' or 'requested an exchange'. This is a verb form/verb choice issue (type 8/9). Suggestion: use 'asked to exchange' or 'returned/exchanged'.

Incorrect use of quantifiers

× It depends on the case, but I do not spend much money on shoes such as uh, 1000 lbs more.

It depends, but I do not spend much money on shoes, such as 1,000 lbs or more.

'1000 lbs more' is unclear and ungrammatical; use '1,000 lbs or more' to indicate an amount. This is a quantifier/number expression issue (type 14). Suggestion: format numbers clearly and use 'or more' for upper bounds.

Sentence structure errors

× That is because shoes can be consumed and it's uh, it will be run out.

That is because shoes wear out and will eventually run out of use.

Original mixes passive and awkward expressions. 'Shoes can be consumed' is unnatural; 'wear out' is correct. 'It will be run out' is ungrammatical passive. This is a sentence structure/verb form error (type 26/21). Suggestion: use active phrasing: 'shoes wear out' or 'shoes will wear out'.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× Therefore, I don't buy expensive.

Therefore, I don't buy expensive shoes.

'Buy expensive' lacks a noun; 'expensive' is an adjective and needs a noun. This is adjective use/article/ellipsis issue (type 13/22). Suggestion: include the noun: 'expensive shoes' or use the adverbial form: 'I don't buy expensively' (rare).

Incorrect use of pronouns

× I prefer to use comfortable shoes because if it's not comfortable I cannot work for long distance.

I prefer to wear comfortable shoes because if they are not comfortable I cannot walk long distances.

Mismatch of pronouns and nouns: 'it's' refers to singular but 'shoes' is plural; 'work for long distance' is wrong collocation — likely 'walk long distances'. This is incorrect use of pronouns (12) and collocation (13). Suggestion: match plural pronoun 'they' and use correct verbs and expressions: 'walk long distances' or 'be on my feet for long periods'.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× On the other hand, if I wear a designable shoes, I think I have the confidence but I I cannot work for a long distance, it's problem for me.

On the other hand, if I wear stylish shoes, I think I feel more confident, but I cannot walk long distances; that's a problem for me.

Multiple issues: 'a designable shoes' mixes singular article with plural noun and 'designable' is not the right adjective — use 'stylish' or 'designer'. 'I have the confidence' better as 'I feel more confident'. 'Work for a long distance' incorrect — 'walk long distances'. This covers article errors (22), adjective choice (13), and sentence structure (26). Suggestion: use correct article-noun agreement, appropriate adjectives ('stylish'/'designer'), and natural verbs ('walk long distances').
