Shopping— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Make your response clearer and more grammatical: give a direct topic sentence, then briefly explain reasons with one or two specific details. Use correct tense and avoid repetition. Keep it under 4–5 sentences and use linking words like 'so' or 'because'.

Example: Yes, I like shopping, but recently I have tried to shop less. Because I am approaching 50, I focus only on essentials to avoid clutter at home. As a result, I make a short shopping list and buy only items I really need.

Suggestion: Give a clear main sentence and support it with a specific reason and an example. Reduce hesitations and correct grammar (e.g., 'many items of the same quality have different prices'). Use a linking word like 'because' or 'so' to connect ideas.

Example: Yes, I always compare prices, especially online, because items with similar quality can have very different prices. For example, I often check two or three stores before buying electronics so I don’t pay more than necessary.

Suggestion: Answer directly and give a clear strategy with a concrete example. Avoid filler sounds and unclear references. Use linking words like 'so' and 'for example'. Be specific about the criterion you use (brand, reviews, price).

Example: Yes, I sometimes find it hard to choose, so I use specific criteria to decide. For example, I usually buy from well-known brands and read customer reviews online, which makes choosing much easier.

Suggestion: Give a balanced opinion with a clear topic sentence and a reasoned example. Avoid vague phrases and hesitations. Use linking words such as 'however' to contrast ideas and explain exceptions clearly.

Example: I don't think expensive products are always better. Although pricier items often use higher-quality materials, sometimes a high price reflects brand marketing rather than better performance; for example, I once found a cheaper kitchen knife that cut as well as a branded one.

× Yes I do but when I close to 50 I decided a shop less a shopping list just such as just essential things because I want I don't want holding things in my home there are too much.

✓ Yes, I do, but when I got close to 50 I decided to shop less and make a shopping list with only essential items because I don't want to keep too many things in my home.

This sentence has multiple sentence structure and verb usage issues. 'close to 50' needs the verb 'got' or 'was' to indicate time; 'decided a shop less' is incorrect — use 'decided to shop less'; 'a shopping list just such as just essential things' should be 'make a shopping list with only essential items'; 'I want I don't want holding things' should be 'I don't want to keep too many things' and 'there are too much' should be 'too many' for countable items. Suggestion: break long ideas into shorter clauses, use correct infinitive forms (decided to + verb), and choose countable/uncountable forms correctly.

× Yes, I do, especially shopping online because there are many uh same quality items uh have different uh price, so prices, so I need to uh compare the price prices uh, in case I bought 2 expense.

✓ Yes, I do, especially when shopping online, because many items of the same quality have different prices, so I need to compare prices to avoid buying something expensive.

Problems: missing preposition 'when' before 'shopping online'; word order 'many uh same quality items uh have different uh price' should be 'many items of the same quality have different prices'; 'compare the price prices' should be 'compare prices'; 'in case I bought 2 expense' is ungrammatical—intended meaning is 'to avoid buying something expensive' or 'to avoid spending too much'. Suggestion: use 'of the same' for description, correct plural 'prices', and use purpose clauses ('to avoid...').

× Yes, it is difficult for me to make choice when I shopping, so I figure out uh umm, good, uh, uh, good way to fix it.

✓ Yes, it is difficult for me to make choices when I am shopping, so I figured out a good way to deal with it.

Issues: 'make choice' needs plural 'choices' (singular/plural); 'when I shopping' requires auxiliary: 'when I am shopping' (present continuous); tense consistency: 'so I figure out ... good way' should be past 'I figured out' if referring to a past decision, or present perfect 'I have figured out' if recent. Suggestion: use correct -ing form with auxiliary verbs (am shopping) and ensure noun plurality and consistent tense.

× I for example, I focused on uh uh, company, uh, just like uh, when I buy uh, cats needle.

✓ For example, I focus on the brand or company, like when I buy cat needles.

Problems: redundant subject 'I for example, I'; tense inconsistency 'I focused' vs present context — use 'I focus' for a general habit; unclear noun 'cats needle' should be 'cat needles' or 'a cat needle' depending on count — likely plural 'cat needles' or 'needles for cats'. Suggestion: remove redundancy, use consistent present simple for habits, and correct noun forms and placement.

× I think most of the time expensive products are always better than cheaper ones, but sometimes uh, the price if the price is too high, I think maybe this price in in include so, so many ads inside.

✓ I think that most of the time expensive products are better than cheaper ones, but if the price is too high, it may include many advertising costs.

Errors: 'most of the time expensive products are always better' is contradictory — 'most of the time' conflicts with 'always'; simplify to 'most of the time ... are better'; redundant phrase 'the price if the price' should be 'if the price'; awkward 'this price in in include so, so many ads inside' is unclear — likely meaning that high price may include advertising or marketing costs, so use 'may include many advertising costs'. Suggestion: avoid contradictory modifiers ('most of the time' vs 'always'), remove redundancy, and express cause clearly with 'if... then...' structures.
