Shoes— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Improve grammar and clarity: start with a direct topic sentence, correct cultural phrasing, and avoid hesitation. Give one or two specific supporting details and use linking words. For example, say you rarely buy shoes, explain why (cultural habits and comfort), and indicate frequency (e.g., once a year). Avoid filler words and pronunciation issues.

Example: I rarely buy shoes. In my culture in Vietnam many people prefer sandals or going barefoot for everyday activities because they are more comfortable and cheaper, so I typically buy new shoes only once or twice a year.

Suggestion: Be more concise and structured: give a clear topic sentence, then two specific reasons using linking words (e.g., 'because' / 'so'). Correct grammar (use tense and article forms) and reduce repetition and hesitations. Mention any exceptions or possible future changes to show flexibility.

Example: No, I haven't bought shoes online because I am worried about getting the wrong size and I don't trust some sellers, so I prefer to try shoes on in a store. However, I might consider online shopping if there is a reliable return policy.

Suggestion: Organize answer with a clear topic sentence stating average spending, then give specific amount and reason. Correct currency phrasing and avoid contradictions. Use linking words like 'because' and 'for example' and avoid repetitive words.

Example: I usually spend very little on shoes; typically around 100,000 Vietnamese Dong because I think it's wasteful to buy expensive, fashionable shoes that I won't wear often. For example, I prefer simple, practical footwear that costs less.

Suggestion: Start with a direct preference sentence, then give two clear reasons using linking words (e.g., 'because' and 'so'). Fix grammar (singular/plural, verb forms) and avoid repetition. Provide a brief specific example of what 'comfortable' means (e.g., cushion, support).

Example: I prefer comfortable shoes because fashionable ones are often flashy and uncomfortable, so they feel like a waste of money. For example, I choose shoes with good cushioning and arch support to protect my feet when I walk a lot.

× To be honest, I don't like to buy shoes too much because in Vietnam my culture not prefer using shoes for daily life, but instead we using crotch uh very more comfortable and more and cheaper.

✓ To be honest, I don't like buying shoes very much because in Vietnam my culture does not prefer using shoes for daily life; instead we wear sandals which are much more comfortable and cheaper.

Pronoun and verb errors: 'my culture not prefer' lacks the auxiliary 'does' for third person singular and uses incorrect word order; 'we using crotch' is ungrammatical and 'crotch' is the wrong word — likely 'sandals' or 'flip-flops'. Suggested correction uses the gerund 'buying' after 'like', adds 'does not prefer' for third person singular, and replaces the incorrect noun with 'sandals' and correct comparative phrasing 'much more comfortable and cheaper'. Suggestion: Use correct auxiliaries for third person subjects and accurate vocabulary; use gerund after 'like'.

× No, I don't think so because I think it really bad idea if I try to buy shoes online because I don't know what size and maybe it would turn out to be a scam if the shoes uh doesn't fit with me.

✓ No, I don't think so because I think it is a really bad idea to try to buy shoes online since I don't know my size and it might turn out to be a scam if the shoes don't fit me.

Modal and verb form errors: 'it really bad idea' is missing the verb 'is'; 'if I try to buy' should be 'to try to buy' after 'idea'; 'would turn out' is acceptable but 'might' is more natural; 'the shoes uh doesn't fit with me' has subject-verb disagreement ('shoes' plural requires 'don't') and incorrect preposition 'with'. Correction adds 'is', uses infinitive after 'idea', changes modal to 'might', fixes subject-verb agreement and removes wrong preposition. Suggestion: Use 'is' with noun phrases, use infinitive after 'idea', and ensure verb agrees with plural subjects; use 'fit me' not 'fit with me'.

× I don't often spend too much money on shoes because I think quite a waste of money to buy some classy or fancy shoes but don't often use them.

✓ I don't often spend much money on shoes because I think it's quite a waste to buy classy or fancy shoes that I don't often use.

Present tense and sentence structure problems: 'think quite a waste of money' is missing the dummy subject 'it' and verb 'is'; 'don't often use them' lacks a clear subject and should be connected to 'shoes'. Correction inserts 'it's' and reorders the clause to clearly link 'that I don't often use' to 'shoes'. Suggestion: Use 'it's' before 'a waste' and attach relative clauses directly to the noun they modify.

× But instead I just use like 100,000 Dong in Vietnam. Really really cheap to buy a normal shoes for my friend.

✓ Instead, I usually spend about 100,000 Dong in Vietnam. It's really cheap to buy a pair of normal shoes for my friends.

Quantifier and article errors: 'use like 100,000 Dong' is informal; 'like' should be 'about' and 'use' should be 'spend'; 'a normal shoes' mixes singular article 'a' with plural 'shoes' — use 'a pair of shoes' and 'friends' or 'a friend' consistently. Correction uses 'spend about', 'a pair of', and adjusts plurality. Suggestion: Use 'spend' for money, 'about' for approximations, and 'a pair of shoes' for a singular item.

× I don't think fashionable shoes are useful because they are like flashy but actually don't don't very comfortable and I think it a waste of money.

✓ I don't think fashionable shoes are useful because they are flashy but actually not very comfortable, and I think they are a waste of money.

Incorrect adverb/adjective placement and omitted verbs: 'don't don't very comfortable' is ungrammatical and redundant; 'don't very comfortable' lacks the verb 'are' and repeats 'don't'. Also 'I think it a waste' needs 'they are' or 'it's'. Correction removes repetition, inserts 'not very comfortable', and supplies correct verbs. Suggestion: Use 'not very comfortable' to negate adjectives and ensure the verb 'are' is present when linking subject to adjective.

× But instead if I I love to buy a comfortable shoes because it help my helps my foot feet become better.

✓ Instead, I would love to buy comfortable shoes because they help my feet feel better.

Pronoun and subject-verb agreement errors: 'if I I love' is repetitive and incorrect for the context; 'a comfortable shoes' mixes singular article with plural noun — use 'comfortable shoes' or 'a pair of comfortable shoes'; 'it help my helps my foot feet' has multiple mistakes: wrong pronoun 'it' should be 'they' for plural 'shoes', 'help' needs to agree with plural subject, and 'foot feet' is inconsistent. Correction uses 'would love' for preference, plural pronoun 'they', plural noun 'feet', and 'feel better' is idiomatic. Suggestion: Avoid repeating words, match pronouns to plural nouns, and use 'feet' for both feet; use 'would like/would love' for preferences.
