Shoes— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and fluent: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid fillers (uh, you know), correct the timing expression, and keep to 1–3 supporting sentences. Add a specific detail such as types of shoes or reasons to make the answer more informative.

Ejemplo: Yes, I love buying shoes; it’s actually one of my hobbies. I usually buy a new pair every two or three months, mostly sneakers and casual shoes, because I enjoy trying different styles and reselling ones I don’t keep.

Sugerencia: Be direct and use correct tense and articles. Avoid repetition of 'I remember'. Explain briefly how the experience affected you and give a balanced view if possible. Keep it within 3–4 sentences and use linking words (however, because) to clarify contrast.

Ejemplo: Yes, I have. The first time I ordered basketball shoes online, the seller forgot to dispatch them and the delivery was delayed by two weeks, which made me very upset. Because of that bad experience I was reluctant to buy shoes online for a while, but I have since tried again with reputable stores and had better results.

Sugerencia: Correct vocabulary and numbers, remove stuttering and fillers, and be realistic and specific. Use a clear topic sentence giving an approximate amount and one brief reason. If you meant a local currency, state it (e.g., dollars, euros) and use plausible figures for clarity.

Ejemplo: I don't spend very much on shoes. I usually spend about $20–$50 a month because I love shoes but try to be economical and only buy pairs I really need.

Sugerencia: Answer directly and use linking words to show contrast. Use correct noun forms (shoe vs shoes) and give specific situations for each preference. Limit to 2–3 concise sentences to sound natural and coherent.

Ejemplo: It depends. For everyday activities like school or the gym I prefer comfortable shoes, but for special occasions I choose fashionable shoes because they help me look more put-together.

× 'It's kind of like one of my hobbies to just, you know, buy and then, uh, selling them again.'

✓ 'It's kind of like one of my hobbies to just, you know, buy and then sell them again.'

'hobbies' is fine, but the parallel structure after "buy and" requires the base form "sell", not the -ing form "selling". Use the infinitive or base verb to keep the verbs parallel.'

× 'And I often buy them two to three months a pair.'

✓ 'And I often buy them two to three pairs a month.'

'two to three months a pair' mixes singular/plural and incorrect word order. The correct expression for frequency is "two to three pairs a month" (plural "pairs" matches the number).'

× 'But I remember the first time I bought a basketball shoes online, they forgot to order my shoes and then it got delayed for two weeks.'

✓ 'But I remember the first time I bought a pair of basketball shoes online; they forgot to process my order and it was delayed for two weeks.'

'shoes' after "a" is incorrect; use "a pair of basketball shoes" for a singular purchase. Also "they forgot to order my shoes" is unnatural; "forgot to process my order" or "sent my order" is clearer. Ensure subject-verb agreement with "it was delayed" referring to the order.'

× 'Then I was really mad and I would never try to buy online shoes again.'

✓ 'Then I was really mad and I would never try to buy shoes online again.'

'buy online shoes' has incorrect word order; adverb "online" should follow or precede the verb phrase as "buy shoes online". The conditional/modal "would" is acceptable here as it expresses a past emotional decision.'

× 'I usually don't don't send spend much money buying shoes.'

✓ 'I usually don't spend much money on buying shoes.'

'don't don't' is a repetition error. "send" is incorrect; the correct verb is "spend". Use "spend money on" rather than "spend money buying" or simplify to "spend much money on shoes".'

× 'I just spend, you know, 2 to 3 billions a month because uh, even though I love them, it's true, but uh, I don't think I should spend too much for them.'

✓ 'I just spend, you know, two to three billion a month, but even though I love them, I don't think I should spend too much on them.'

'billions' is plural where a number phrase typically uses the singular form after numerals ("two to three billion"). Also "for them" is not the best preposition; use "on them" for spending money. The sentence was long and repetitive; simplifying the conjunctions improves clarity.'

× 'I usually want a more comfortable shoes to use everyday, you know, to go to school and go to the gym.'

✓ 'I usually want more comfortable shoes to use every day, you know, to go to school and to go to the gym.'

'a more comfortable shoes' mixes singular article "a" with plural "shoes"; remove "a" and use plural "shoes". "everyday" (adjective) should be two words "every day" when meaning each day.'

× 'But on the other hand, you know, a fashionable shoes can make you look cooler for the more important, uh, events like uh, going to school or uh, going to a friend's house.'

✓ 'But on the other hand, you know, fashionable shoes can make you look cooler for more important events like going to school or going to a friend's house.'

'a fashionable shoes' incorrectly pairs singular article "a" with plural "shoes"; remove "a" or use "a fashionable shoe". Also "the more important" is unnecessary; use "more important events". Remove filler words for clarity.'
