Shopping— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Give a direct, fluent topic sentence and avoid hesitations and repetitions. Include a brief reason or example to enrich your answer and use correct grammar (e.g., "I usually shop online on sites such as..."). Keep it under 3 sentences.

Example: Yes, I enjoy shopping. I usually shop online on websites like Amazon, Flipkart and Myntra because they offer a wide range of products and fast delivery.

Suggestion: Start with a clear topic sentence stating whether you compare prices. Use linking words to explain when and why, and avoid repetition. Be specific about how you compare (apps, websites) and the reason (save money during sales).

Example: Yes, I always compare prices, especially during big festival sales like the Big Billion Days, because I want to find the best discounts across different websites before I buy.

Suggestion: Answer directly and concisely. Use linking words (because, so) correctly and avoid filler words. Explain the decision process clearly and with specific steps (compare price, check reviews).

Example: Usually no, because I compare discounts and prices across platforms like Amazon and Flipkart, and choose the seller that offers the best price and good reviews.

Suggestion: Make a clear opinion first, then support it with specific reasons and examples. Avoid unclear phrasing and repetitions. Use comparative language correctly (e.g., "not always better" and provide situations when cheap items can be good).

Example: No, expensive items are not always better. Sometimes cheaper products offer excellent quality, especially from trusted brands or during promotions, while expensive items can be overpriced without added value.

Suggestion: Give a clear frequency (e.g., once a month, only during festivals) and a brief reason. Use complete sentences and avoid hesitations. Be specific about which occasions prompt shopping.

Example: I mostly shop during festivals and family celebrations, so I usually buy new clothes and gifts a few times a year around those events.

Suggestion: Start with a direct preference (I prefer X because...). Explain conditions that change your preference using linking words (if, when). Be specific about what factors (availability, convenience) influence your choice.

Example: It depends: I prefer online shopping when items are unavailable locally or during festival sales, but I prefer in-store shopping for clothes I want to try on for fit and quality.

Suggestion: Answer directly and clearly. If you have returned items, say so and provide a short example of why and what happened. Use correct verb forms and concise sentences.

Example: Yes, I have returned online orders when they arrived damaged or the wrong item. The seller refunded me or sent a replacement after I initiated the return through the app.

× Usually I'm, I'm shopping in online, uh, like Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra.

✓ Usually I shop online on sites like Amazon, Flipkart, and Myntra.

Use of prepositions: 'shop in online' is incorrect. Use 'shop online' or 'shop on' + platform. Also use simple present 'I shop' for habitual action and include articles/commas appropriately.

× Yeah, I compare, uh, prices, uh, on festivals, festivals, big billion sales, uh, because, uh, festival will be uh, coming nearly so.

✓ Yes, I compare prices during festivals and big sales because a festival is coming soon.

Tense and time expression: Use simple present 'I compare' for habitual actions. Use the preposition 'during' for events and 'coming soon' instead of 'coming nearly'. Remove repetitions and filler words.

× Uh, usually no, uh, because we have platform like Amazon, Flipkart in that discounts will be there.

✓ Usually no, because platforms like Amazon and Flipkart have discounts.

Preposition and word order: 'in that discounts will be there' is incorrect. Use subject-verb order 'platforms have discounts' and pluralize 'platforms'.

× So in that discounts, uh, we'll checking, uh, in which app will be getting more discounts we'll buy in that app.

✓ So we check which app has bigger discounts and buy from that app.

Verb form and preposition: 'we'll checking' is incorrect; use 'we check' (habitual) or 'we're checking' (progressive). Use 'has' for present and 'buy from that app' for correct preposition. Also avoid future 'will' for habitual actions.

× No, not like that. If expensive products will always not a better and not a cheaper ones also because we'll get cheap and best qualities in somewhere app and, uh, expense, uh, expensive products also, it will be good, but uh, uh, compared to in our sector.

✓ No, not necessarily. Expensive products are not always better, and cheaper ones are not always worse. Sometimes you can find good quality at low prices on some apps; expensive products can be good too depending on the brand or category.

Tense and structure: Avoid using 'will' in conditional/general statements. Use present simple 'are' for general truths. Also correct comparison structure and word order, and use clearer conjunctions.

× Usually uh festivals in a sub celebrations in that time UH will do shopping.

✓ Usually during festivals and other celebrations we do shopping at that time.

Prepositions and word order: Use 'during' for time periods and place 'we do shopping' as the main clause. Remove redundant words and use present simple for habitual actions.

× Yeah, it's depend on festivals, celebrations, what what we required clothes, dresses in somewhere not available in the offline. So we'll go through online sessions, online app.

✓ It depends on the festival and the clothes we need; if something is not available offline, we shop on an online app.

Pronoun and verb agreement: 'it's depend' should be 'it depends' (subject-verb agreement). 'We required clothes' is wrong; use 'the clothes we need'. Use correct preposition 'on an online app' and simplify phrasing.

× No, sometimes I got wrong products, otherwise broken products. I will be give a return because it's not uh, uh, valuable, right? Uh, after that I will get back another new one.

✓ Yes, sometimes I receive the wrong or damaged products. I return them because they are not acceptable, and after that I get a replacement.

Pronoun and verb form: Use 'receive' instead of 'got' for present/past clarity; 'broken products' -> 'damaged products'. 'I will be give a return' is incorrect; use 'I return them' or 'I request a return'. Use 'get a replacement' for clarity and correct tense.
