Shopping— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and natural. Start with a direct topic sentence, then give one or two clear reasons with specific detail. Avoid redundant phrases like "buy or pay a lot of things" and correct grammar (e.g., use "spend a lot of money on things I don't need"). Keep it under five sentences.

Example: No, I don't really enjoy shopping. I'm a careful shopper because I prefer to research items first and only buy things I truly need, so I avoid impulse purchases.

Suggestion: Clarify vocabulary and organize the answer: give a clear topic sentence, then one specific reason and an example of how you compare prices. Fix word choice errors ("applies" → "prices"). Use linking words like "because" or "so" but avoid repeating them.

Example: Yes, I usually compare prices because I want to find good value. For example, I check two or three online stores and make a short list before buying to ensure I get the best deal.

Suggestion: Make the reason clear and correct grammar. Start with a direct answer, then explain one specific factor that makes decisions hard (e.g., many options, similar features, warranties). Use linking words and correct verb forms. Keep it under five sentences.

Example: Yes, I often find it hard to decide. Because many products have similar features and warranties, I spend a lot of time comparing specifications and reviews before choosing one.

Suggestion: Avoid making absolute statements. Provide a balanced opinion and specific reasons or exceptions. Correct vocabulary and grammar (e.g., "higher quality materials" and "longer warranties"). Use linking words like "sometimes" or "often" to show nuance.

Example: Not always. While expensive products often use higher-quality materials and come with longer warranties, cheaper items can sometimes offer similar performance, so I evaluate quality and reviews before deciding.

× I don't want to buy or pay a lot of things and spend a lot of money on something I don't need.

✓ I don't want to buy or pay for a lot of things or spend a lot of money on something I don't need.

Incorrect use of nouns and verbs: 'pay a lot of things' is incorrect because we 'pay for things' or 'pay a lot of money'. Also the coordination was awkward ('buy or pay a lot of things and spend...') causing plural/usage confusion. Suggestion: use 'buy or pay for a lot of things' or restructure to 'buy many things' and keep parallel verbs.

× Yes, I often compare applies before I shop, which is because I would like to buy something valuable and cheaper so that's why I try to compare and make a list before buying something.

✓ Yes, I often compare prices before I shop because I would like to buy something valuable and cheap, so I try to compare and make a list before buying something.

Multiple errors: 'applies' is a wrong word; correct word is 'prices' (singular/plural word choice). 'cheaper' used without comparison target; use 'cheap' or compare explicitly. The phrase 'which is because' is redundant; use 'because'. Suggestion: use 'compare prices' and 'valuable and cheap' or 'valuable but cheaper than alternatives.' This falls under preposition/word choice and adjective use (IDs 11 and 13).

× Yes, I think it's very difficult for me when I shop. This is because I often compare applies where you were able or warranties before buying something. So it's hard and spend a lot of time.

✓ Yes, I think it's very difficult for me when I shop. This is because I often compare prices, available options, and warranties before buying something, so it is hard and I spend a lot of time.

Errors: 'applies' should be 'prices'; 'where you were able' is ungrammatical and likely meant 'available options'; missing subject 'I' in 'spend a lot of time' and poor clause linking. Suggestion: list items clearly ('prices, available options, and warranties') and keep subject-verb agreement ('I spend'). This addresses sentence structure and incorrect word use.

× Yes, I think so. This is because expensive products often provide our luxury materials with goods with and longer guarantee.

✓ Yes, I think so. This is because expensive products often use higher-quality materials and come with longer guarantees.

Several problems: 'provide our luxury materials with goods with' is ungrammatical and confusing; correct idea is 'use higher-quality materials' or 'are made of better materials'. 'Guarantee' as countable should be 'guarantees' or better 'longer warranties'; also word order and adjective use incorrect. Suggestion: use 'higher-quality materials' and 'longer warranties/guarantees' to convey the intended meaning.
