Shoes— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Answer the two parts of the question more directly: state whether you like buying shoes and how often you buy them. Correct the awkward phrase “such as troubles or gadgets”; “travel or gadgets” is more natural. Also, avoid repeating “I prefer to use my own money” and use a linking word such as “instead” to connect your reason clearly.

Ejemplo: Not really. I only buy shoes when I need a new pair, perhaps once every year or two. I would rather spend my money on travel or electronic gadgets instead because I am not particularly interested in fashion.

Sugerencia: Use the present perfect form “I have never bought” because the question asks about life experience. Remove the repeated word “check,” and change “go to the store physically” to the more natural phrase “visit a store in person.” Use “them” instead of “it” to refer to shoes.

Ejemplo: No, I have never bought shoes online. I prefer to visit a store in person because I need to check the quality, materials, and fit before purchasing them. This helps me avoid buying shoes that are uncomfortable or the wrong size.

Sugerencia: Give a clear amount and time period, such as “about $100 every two years.” Avoid repeating “as I said earlier,” and correct “buying cuts,” which is unclear; you may mean “buying clothes.” Begin with a capital letter and connect the reason with “because” or “so.”

Ejemplo: I usually spend about 100 dollars on shoes every two years. Since I do not buy them very often, I prefer to spend most of my money on travel or clothes instead. I only replace my shoes when my old ones are worn out.

Sugerencia: Your preference is clear and you provide a useful example. Improve the grammar by adding “and” in “I exercise and take long walks,” and change “supportive cushion footwear” to “well-cushioned, supportive shoes.” Use a linking word such as “therefore” or “although” to make the relationship between exercise and comfort clearer.

Ejemplo: I definitely prefer comfortable shoes because I exercise and take long walks regularly. Therefore, I need well-cushioned, supportive footwear. Although I sometimes want to look stylish, I usually choose sneakers that are both comfortable and durable.

× So I buy shoes only when it is necessary I prefer to use my own money for other things such as troubles or gadgets.

✓ So, I buy shoes only when it is necessary. I prefer to use my own money for other things such as troubles or gadgets.

The original sentence contains two independent clauses joined without appropriate punctuation or a conjunction. Separate them into two sentences to make the structure clear. The words troubles and gadgets are not changed because they are vocabulary choices, not grammar errors from the specified list.

× I never bought shoes online because for me it is quite important to go to the store physically and to check check the quality and materials before purchasing it.

✓ I have never bought shoes online because, for me, it is quite important to go to the store physically and check the quality and materials before purchasing it.

The question asks whether the student has ever bought shoes online, so the present perfect form have never bought is appropriate for an experience up to the present. The repeated word check has also been removed for clarity, although repetition itself is not one of the listed grammar categories.

× I never bought shoes online because for me it is quite important to go to the store physically and to check check the quality and materials before purchasing it.

✓ I have never bought shoes online because, for me, it is quite important to go to the store physically and check the quality and materials before purchasing them.

The pronoun it incorrectly refers to shoes, which is plural. Use them for a plural noun. A useful improvement is to check whether the pronoun agrees with the noun in number: one shoe requires it, while shoes require them.

× normally I don't use my money for buying shoes as I said earlier, perhaps a hundred in every two years I prefer to use my own money for other things like travel or buying cuts

✓ Normally, I do not use my money to buy shoes. As I said earlier, I perhaps spend a hundred every two years. I prefer to use my own money for other things like travel or buying cuts.

The phrase in every two years uses an incorrect preposition. For a repeated time period, say every two years. The original also contains several independent clauses joined together without suitable punctuation, so they should be separated into individual sentences.

× I definitely prefer comfortable shoes because I exercise take a long walk so I need supportive cushion footwear.

✓ I definitely prefer comfortable shoes because I exercise and take long walks, and I need supportive, cushioned footwear.

The conjunction and is needed to connect the parallel verbs exercise and take. The original combination of because and so creates an unclear sentence structure, so the ideas are connected more clearly with and. Cushioned is the correct adjective for footwear designed to provide cushioning; cushion is normally used as a noun.
