Do you think expensive products are always better than cheaper ones?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: Ý chính rõ nhưng câu bị bỏ dở ở cuối và thiếu ví dụ hoàn chỉnh; câu trả lời nên hoàn thiện bằng kết luận rõ ràng, thêm liên từ và ví dụ cụ thể (nhãn hiệu, tính năng) để minh họa. Tránh câu bị ngắt quãng và dùng cụm từ chính xác như "mid-range".
Example: I don't think expensive products are always better. While pricier items sometimes offer higher quality and longer lifespan, cheaper versions often perform well for everyday tasks. For example, I usually buy a mid-range phone because it balances good camera quality and battery life without the high cost.
× Yes, I usually compare price when I shop because it helps me save money and get better value.
✓ Yes, I usually compare prices when I shop because it helps me save money and get better value.
'price' is a countable noun in this context and when referring to comparing multiple items you must use the plural 'prices'. Use plural form to match the meaning of comparing more than one price. Suggestion: Remember to use plural forms for countable nouns when referring to more than one item (e.g., 'prices', 'books').
× For example, I often check online stores in local shops before buying a laptop and I only buy when I find a good deal.
✓ For example, I often check online stores and local shops before buying a laptop, and I only buy when I find a good deal.
The phrase 'online stores in local shops' is confusing and likely results from incorrect coordination of noun phrases. Insert 'and' to coordinate 'online stores' and 'local shops', and add a comma before the conjunction for clarity. Suggestion: When listing places, join them with 'and' or commas: 'online stores and local shops'.
× No, I don't usually find it difficult to make choices when I shop because I know what I need and I set a book jets for example.
✓ No, I don't usually find it difficult to make choices when I shop because I know what I need and I set a budget, for example.
'a book jets' is not a valid phrase. The intended meaning is likely 'a budget'. 'Budget' requires an article 'a' when singular. Correcting to 'a budget' fixes the noun and article usage. Suggestion: Use the correct noun 'budget' and include the article 'a' for singular countable nouns: 'set a budget'.
× Uh, when I buy clothes I pick a few items and try them on and then choose the one that fits back.
✓ Uh, when I buy clothes I pick a few items and try them on, and then choose the one that fits me best.
'fits back' is incorrect. The correct expression is 'fits me best' or 'fits best'. Also add a comma before 'and' to separate clauses and include 'me' to indicate the subject who is fitted. Suggestion: Use the idiomatic phrase 'fits me best' to indicate the most suitable item.
× Well I don't think expensive products are always better.
✓ Well, I don't think expensive products are always better.
This sentence is correct except for a missing comma after the introductory 'Well'. Adding the comma improves readability. Suggestion: Place a comma after introductory words like 'Well'.
× Sometimes they have higher quality and last longer, but other times cheaper versions work fine for normal use because they do the same job.
✓ Sometimes they have higher quality and last longer, but other times cheaper versions work fine for normal use because they do the same job.
This sentence is grammatically correct in present simple tense and matches general truths. No change needed other than confirming tense consistency. Suggestion: Use present simple for general statements as used here.
× For example I usually buy a mid range phone because it.
✓ For example, I usually buy a mid-range phone because it offers good value.
The original sentence is incomplete ('because it.'), and 'mid range' should be hyphenated as 'mid-range' when used as a compound adjective before a noun. Complete the clause by stating what 'it' does, e.g., 'offers good value'. Suggestion: Complete sentences fully and hyphenate compound adjectives before nouns: 'mid-range phone' and add a verb phrase after 'because it'.
