Part 1

Do you like buying shoes? How often?

Score: 54.0

Suggestion: Be more concise and avoid hesitation sounds. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give 1–2 specific details (frequency and reason). Use linking words to connect ideas and correct small grammar issues (e.g., 'sometimes' and 'change my style for work or travel').

Example: Yes, I enjoy buying shoes. I usually buy a new pair about once a year because I like to refresh my style for work and when I travel.

Have you ever bought shoes online?

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: Make the response grammatically correct and slightly more detailed. Start with a direct answer (Yes/No), then give a clear reason and one short example. Replace informal phrases ('old feet') with natural English ('my feet' or 'how they fit').

Example: No, I usually don't buy shoes online because I prefer to try them on to check the fit and appearance. For example, last month I avoided buying trainers online because I wanted to make sure they were comfortable.

How much money do you usually spend on shoes?

Score: 46.0

Suggestion: Structure the answer clearly: start with a direct amount, then explain briefly why and give a concrete example. Avoid unclear phrases and finish sentences. Use correct grammar and singular/plural forms.

Example: I usually spend about 3,000 to 4,000 baht on a pair of shoes because I don't have a large budget. For instance, the most expensive pair I've bought cost around 4,000 baht.

Suggestion: Give a clear position and explain how you balance the two with a short reason and an example. Avoid repetition and incomplete sentences; use linking words like 'because' or 'so'.

Grammar

Present tense issue

× I do like buying shoes because umm, you know, uh, I like sneakers and I want to buy them just like once a year because sometime I want to change my style like at work or to travel.

I like buying shoes because I like sneakers, and I try to buy them about once a year because sometimes I want to change my style for work or when I travel.

Present tense and adverb use: unnecessary filler 'do' and hesitation words removed; 'just like once a year' corrected to 'about once a year' for natural frequency expression; 'sometime' should be 'sometimes' for repeated occasions; 'at work or to travel' corrected to 'for work or when I travel' for correct preposition and parallel structure. Suggestion: remove filler words, use 'sometimes' for recurring events, and keep parallel prepositional phrases.

Incorrect use of quantifiers

× I don't buy shoe online because I feel like I want to try them with my old feet and want to see them closely if they look like on the Internet or not.

I don't buy shoes online because I feel I need to try them on my feet and see closely whether they look the same as on the Internet.

Plural and quantifier: 'shoe' should be plural 'shoes' when speaking generally; 'try them with my old feet' awkward — corrected to 'try them on my feet'; 'see them closely if they look like on the Internet or not' fixed to 'see closely whether they look the same as on the Internet' for correct comparison and clarity. Suggestion: use plural for general nouns and 'try on' for clothing fitting; use 'whether ... or not' or 'whether ...' for indirect yes/no.

Sentence structure errors

× I don't have much money so one choose one pass of shoe. I think I will spend around 3000 to 4000 baht for for one pair of shoe. The most expensive shoes I have bought is about.

I don't have much money, so I usually choose one pair of shoes. I think I will spend around 3,000 to 4,000 baht for one pair. The most expensive shoes I have bought cost about that much.

Multiple problems: 'one choose one pass of shoe' is ungrammatical — corrected to 'I usually choose one pair of shoes' (plural form and quantifier). 'for for one pair of shoe' had duplicate 'for' and singular 'shoe' fixed to 'for one pair'. 'The most expensive shoes I have bought is about.' lacked a clear verb and number — corrected to 'The most expensive shoes I have bought cost about that much.' Suggestion: use 'pair of shoes' for footwear, ensure subject-verb agreement ('shoes...cost'), and complete sentences with necessary information.

Verb in the present participle form

× I prefer both. I always try every shoe until I I have a a good one. Like it's look fashionable and is comfortable so I wouldn't buy it if.

I prefer both. I always try on every pair of shoes until I find a good one, one that looks fashionable and is comfortable, so I wouldn't buy it otherwise.

Verb forms and sentence completion: 'try every shoe until I I have a a good one' should be 'try on every pair of shoes until I find a good one' — 'try on' is the correct verb phrase and 'find' fits the intended meaning; 'it's look fashionable' should be 'it looks fashionable' for correct verb agreement and form; sentence ended abruptly 'so I wouldn't buy it if.' completed to 'so I wouldn't buy it otherwise.' Suggestion: use 'try on' for fitting, use 'find' for discovering a suitable item, ensure subject-verb agreement ('it looks') and finish conditional ideas.
