Examiner

Do you like shopping?

Candidate

Yeah, absolutely. I often go shopping when I have a free time. It makes me feel relaxed and relieve my stress. For example, there is a supermarket nearby my home and I often go there to buy some essential things in my daily lives.

Examiner

Do you compare prices when you shop? Why?

Candidate

Well, I guess no, because I don't care too much about the price and I tend to pick up something quickly and and finishes the whole process because convenience is more important for me and I don't want to spend too much time on that.

Examiner

Is it difficult for you to make choices when you shop?

Candidate

Well, I don't think it's a problem for me. I always being so quick to choose the items I need because you know I don't want to spend too much time on this

Do you think expensive products are always better than cheaper ones?

Yeah, I agree with that. The expensive products are high quality. For example, I bought some fruits from the supermarket last week and I found that the expensive vegetables taste better than cheese

Part 1

Do you like shopping?

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: Make your answer more grammatical, concise and varied in vocabulary. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one specific supporting detail. Correct grammar errors (e.g., "in my free time", "relieves my stress", "near my home", "daily life"). Avoid redundancy and keep it to 2–3 sentences.

Example: Yes, I enjoy shopping. I often go there in my free time because it relaxes me and helps relieve stress; for instance, I usually visit the supermarket near my home to pick up essential items for my daily life.

Do you compare prices when you shop? Why?

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: Provide a direct topic sentence and one clear reason with correct grammar and linking words. Fix errors ("I guess not", "I tend to pick items quickly and finish the whole process"). Use a linking phrase like "because" or "so" and avoid repetition.

Example: Not usually. I guess I don't compare prices because convenience matters more to me, so I tend to pick items quickly and finish shopping without spending time checking different prices.

Is it difficult for you to make choices when you shop?

Score: 65.0

Suggestion: Give a clear topic sentence and one or two specific supporting details. Correct grammatical mistakes ("I am always quick to choose", not "I always being"). Use a linking word to explain the reason, such as "because" or "so". Keep it concise and natural.

Example: No, I don't find it difficult to make choices. I am usually quick to choose what I need because I prefer to save time, so I focus on essentials rather than browsing a lot.

Do you think expensive products are always better than cheaper ones?

Score: 50.0

Suggestion: Avoid overgeneralisation and give a balanced opinion with a clear topic sentence and a specific example. Correct factual/semantic errors in your example (fruits vs vegetables vs cheese) and sentence structure. Use a linking word such as "however" or "often" to show nuance.

Example: I don't think expensive products are always better. Often they are higher in quality, for example I once bought pricier strawberries that tasted fresher, but sometimes cheaper items offer good value, so it depends on the product and brand.

Grammar

Article errors

× I often go shopping when I have a free time.

I often go shopping when I have free time.

The article 'a' before 'free time' is unnecessary because 'free time' is an uncountable noun phrase referring to time in general. Remove 'a' to use the correct article form. Grammar problem type ID:22

Verb in the present participle form

× It makes me feel relaxed and relieve my stress.

It makes me feel relaxed and relieves my stress.

Parallel verbs after 'makes me' need correct forms. 'Makes me feel relaxed' is fine, but 'relieve' must agree with the subject 'it' and be in third-person singular present 'relieves'. Use parallel structure and subject-verb agreement. Grammar problem type ID:10

Incorrect use of prepositions

× there is a supermarket nearby my home

there is a supermarket near my home

The phrase 'nearby my home' is incorrect; 'nearby' is typically an adverb or adjective and should not directly modify a noun with 'my'. Use the preposition 'near' with 'my home' or 'nearby' with a noun: 'a supermarket nearby' or 'a supermarket near my home'. Grammar problem type ID:11

Incorrect use of quantifiers

× I often go there to buy some essential things in my daily lives.

I often go there to buy some essential things in my daily life.

The phrase 'in my daily lives' incorrectly uses the plural 'lives' for one person. Use the singular 'life' to refer to your own routine: 'in my daily life'. Grammar problem type ID:14

Modal verb usage

× Well, I guess no, because I don't care too much about the price and I tend to pick up something quickly and and finishes the whole process because convenience is more important for me and I don't want to spend too much time on that.

Well, I guess not, because I don't care too much about the price and I tend to pick up something quickly and finish the whole process because convenience is more important to me and I don't want to spend too much time on it.

Use 'not' instead of 'no' after 'I guess'. Remove the duplicated 'and'. 'Finish' must match the subject 'I' (base form after 'tend to'). 'Finishes' is third-person singular and incorrect here. Use 'important to me' rather than 'for me' for this meaning. Use 'it' instead of 'that' to refer to the process. Overall correct modal/auxiliary and verb forms. Grammar problem type ID:4

Verb in the present participle form

× I always being so quick to choose the items I need because you know I don't want to spend too much time on this

I am always so quick to choose the items I need because, you know, I don't want to spend too much time on this.

'Being' is incorrect here; use the correct present simple continuous/ habitual expression 'I am always so quick' or 'I'm always quick'. Also add commas around 'you know' as a discourse marker. Ensure sentence ends with proper punctuation. Grammar problem type ID:10

Comparative and superlative errors

× The expensive products are high quality.

Expensive products are high quality.

Definite article 'the' makes the statement sound like referring to a specific set; in general statements about categories, omit 'the'. Alternatively, use 'Expensive products are of high quality.' to be more formal. This correction aligns grammar and generalization. Grammar problem type ID:25

Incorrect comparison object

× I bought some fruits from the supermarket last week and I found that the expensive vegetables taste better than cheese

I bought some fruit from the supermarket last week and I found that the expensive vegetables taste better than the cheaper ones.

'Fruits' is often uncountable in this context; use 'fruit' for a general purchase. The comparison 'taste better than cheese' is illogical; likely intended to compare expensive vegetables with cheaper vegetables, so use 'the cheaper ones' as the comparison object. Also add 'the' for 'cheaper ones.' Grammar problem type ID:19}]}(No newline)
