Do you like shopping?
Candidato
Yes I do, but I wouldn't say I'm a shopaholic since I still rely on my parents financially. I usually try to control my spending and think carefully before buying anything. I also prefer shopping online sometimes because I can find good deals and save time instead of going out and visiting different stores.
Examinador
Do you compare prices when you shop? Why?
Candidato
Yes I do. I always compare prices before making a purchase because I want to get the best value for my money. Sometimes I even spend quite a lot of time checking different shops just to find the most reasonable price.
Examinador
Is it difficult for you to make choices when you shop?
Candidato
Yes, it can be quite difficult for me because I usually consider several factors such as the price, quality and appearance of the product. For example, when a go quotes shopping, I can spend almost an hour in a store just trying to choose the item that I like the most.
Examinador
Do you think expensive products are always better than cheaper ones?
Candidato
Not necessarily, although expensive products are usually made with better materials and have higher quality. Price doesn't always determine how good a product is. For example, I have a shirt that only cost me around 100,000 Vietnam Dome and I've worn it for two years without any problems. However, I also bought a 300,000 Vietnam shirt that became ringed and faded.

Puntuación: 88.0Sugerencia: Câu trả lời tự nhiên và rõ ràng, có câu chủ đề và các chi tiết hỗ trợ. Để cải thiện, hãy rút gọn một chút để tránh dài dòng (tối đa 4-5 câu), dùng liên từ nhẹ để liên kết lý do và ví dụ, và sửa một vài lỗi nhỏ về ý từ (ví dụ "instead of going out and visiting different stores" có thể ngắn gọn hơn). Bổ sung một cụm ví dụ ngắn hơn về loại sản phẩm bạn thường mua có thể làm câu trả lời cụ cụ thể hơn.

Puntuación: 72.0Sugerencia: Ý chính rõ ràng nhưng có lỗi ngữ pháp và một câu ví dụ bị lỗi ("when a go quotes shopping" không đúng). Cần sửa cấu trúc câu, dùng liên từ để nối ý và làm ví dụ cụ thể, ngắn gọn. Hạn chế nói quá lâu và tránh lỗi đánh máy để câu trả lời tự nhiên hơn.

Do you think expensive products are always better than cheaper ones?
Puntuación: 80.0Sugerencia: Nội dung tốt, có quan điểm cân bằng và ví dụ cá nhân hữu ích. Cần chú ý chính tả và cách viết tên tiền tệ ("Vietnam Dome" nên là "Vietnam dong" hoặc "VND"). Rút gọn và dùng kết nối như "however" hợp lý, đồng thời thêm một câu tóm tắt để kết luận ý chính rõ ràng hơn.
Ejemplo: Not necessarily. While expensive items often use better materials and may last longer, price isn’t the only indicator of quality. For example, I have a shirt that cost about 100,000 VND and has lasted two years, whereas a 300,000 VND shirt I bought faded quickly. So I usually judge by reviews and materials rather than price alone.
× For example, when a go quotes shopping, I can spend almost an hour in a store just trying to choose the item that I like the most.
✓ For example, when I go shopping, I can spend almost an hour in a store just trying to choose the item that I like the most.
Original sentence contains typographical errors: 'a go quotes shopping' is incorrect; correct phrase is 'I go shopping'. This is a sentence structure and word choice error. Suggestion: use 'I go shopping' for the intended meaning and proofread for accidental extra words or misspellings. Note: This entry maps to grammar problem types 26 (Sentence structure errors) and 22 (Article errors) but primarily fixes sentence structure and word choice.
× Not necessarily, although expensive products are usually made with better materials and have higher quality.
✓ Not necessarily; although expensive products are usually made with better materials and have higher quality, price doesn't always determine how good a product is.
The original sentence is grammatically acceptable alone, but in context the student separates ideas awkwardly. Combining clauses clarifies the contrast. Suggestion: link the contrasting idea with a semicolon or conjunction to improve coherence. This is mainly sentence structure improvement (26).
× For example, I have a shirt that only cost me around 100,000 Vietnam Dome and I've worn it for two years without any problems.
✓ For example, I have a shirt that only cost me around 100,000 Vietnam dong, and I've worn it for two years without any problems.
Use the correct past tense or present perfect consistently: 'that only cost me' is acceptable but punctuation and currency spelling were incorrect. 'Vietnam Dome' is a misspelling; correct is 'Vietnam dong'. Also add a comma before 'and' for clarity. Suggestion: correct proper nouns and currency names, and ensure punctuation is clear.
× However, I also bought a 300,000 Vietnam shirt that became ringed and faded.
✓ However, I also bought a 300,000-dong shirt that became worn and faded.
'Became ringed' is incorrect word choice; likely intended 'worn' or 'pilled'. Also currency should be '300,000-dong' and include a hyphen when used as a compound adjective. Suggestion: use precise verbs like 'became worn' or 'developed pills', and format currency correctly.
× I also prefer shopping online sometimes because I can find good deals and save time instead of going out and visiting different stores.
✓ I also prefer shopping online sometimes because I can find good deals and save time instead of going out to visit different stores.
Use infinitive 'to visit' after 'going out' to express purpose; 'going out and visiting' is understandable but 'going out to visit' is more natural. This is a preposition/verb form preference (11,8). Suggestion: use 'going out to visit' for smoother phrasing.
× Yes I do, but I wouldn't say I'm a shopaholic since I still rely on my parents financially.
✓ Yes, I do, but I wouldn't say I'm a shopaholic since I still rely on my parents financially.
Missing comma after 'Yes' affects natural written punctuation. Grammar is otherwise correct. Suggestion: include appropriate commas for natural rhythm and clarity (punctuation).
× I always compare prices before making a purchase because I want to get the best value for my money.
✓ I always compare prices before making a purchase because I want to get the best value for my money.
