Do you like shopping?
Candidato
Yes, I'm already into shopping with my grandparents, especially after busy day in the school. It's a good way to relax and simply be myself.
Examinador
Do you compare prices when you shop? Why?
Candidato
No, I don't. I always compare prices before I go shopping with others together. It's definitely beneficial for me to, uh, compare the prices, especially when I'm accounting the prices, uh, that kind of number stuff and it's entertaining.
Examinador
Is it difficult for you to make choices when you shop?
Candidato
No it isn't. It is always not so arduous or hard for me to make choices when I shop because as I just mentioned, I always umm, plan what I'm gonna purchase, uh, for daily routine before I shop.
Examinador
Do you think expensive products are always better than cheaper ones?
Candidato
Personally, no, I'm so Inglis to believe that expensive products are not always better than cheaper ones because sometimes, uh, expensive products can not really express what you want to uh, express to others, like candies or friendliness rather than cheaper ones.
Do you like shopping?
Puntuación: 72.0Sugerencia: Be more concise and correct minor grammar mistakes. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one specific supporting detail. Avoid redundancy (e.g., “already into” and “especially after busy day” overlap) and fix article use and tense: say “after a busy day at school.”
Ejemplo: Yes, I enjoy shopping. I often go with my grandparents after a busy day at school because walking around shops helps me relax and feel more like myself.
Do you compare prices when you shop? Why?
Puntuación: 60.0Sugerencia: Clarify the contradiction (first says no, then says yes). Use one clear topic sentence and support with a reason and example. Remove fillers and be specific about when you compare prices (e.g., online or with friends) and why (save money, avoid regret).
Ejemplo: Yes, I usually compare prices before I shop with friends because it helps me find the best deal. For example, I check prices online first so I know which stores are cheaper and can avoid overspending.
Is it difficult for you to make choices when you shop?
Puntuación: 75.0Sugerencia: Keep the answer brief and correct informal spoken contractions and fillers. Begin with a direct topic sentence, then give a specific supporting detail (how you plan, e.g., make a list). Use a linking word like “because” or “so” smoothly.
Ejemplo: No, it's not difficult for me to decide what to buy because I make a list of items I need for my daily routine before I leave home, so I can shop quickly and avoid impulse purchases.
Do you think expensive products are always better than cheaper ones?
Puntuación: 58.0Sugerencia: Express your opinion clearly and support it with a specific, relevant reason or example. Avoid unclear phrases ("I'm so Inglis to believe") and irrelevant comparisons. Use linking words to structure your idea (e.g., “I don't think... because...” and give a concrete example such as quality vs brand).
Ejemplo: No, I don't think expensive products are always better because price often reflects brand rather than quality. For example, a cheaper phone case can be just as durable as an expensive one, while an expensive brand-name bag might only be more costly for its logo.
× Yes, I'm already into shopping with my grandparents, especially after busy day in the school.
✓ Yes, I already enjoy shopping with my grandparents, especially after a busy day at school.
Use of 'I'm already into' is conversational but awkward; 'enjoy' is a clearer simple present verb for habits. 'after busy day in the school' has article and preposition errors: add 'a' and use 'at school' (idiomatic). Suggestion: use 'I enjoy shopping' and 'a busy day at school' to sound natural.
× It's a good way to relax and simply be myself.
✓ It's a good way to relax and simply be myself.
Sentence is correct; no singular/plural change needed. No correction necessary but included for completeness.
× No, I don't. I always compare prices before I go shopping with others together.
✓ No, I don't. I usually compare prices before I go shopping with others.
Conflict: student first says 'No, I don't' then states they do compare prices. 'Always' coupled with 'No, I don't' is contradictory; likely meant 'Yes' or 'No, I don't compare prices when shopping alone.' To fix grammar and meaning, adjust to 'I usually compare prices' or change initial 'No' to 'Yes'. Also 'with others together' is redundant; use 'with others'.
× It's definitely beneficial for me to, uh, compare the prices, especially when I'm accounting the prices, uh, that kind of number stuff and it's entertaining.
✓ It's definitely beneficial for me to compare prices, especially when I'm calculating the prices; that kind of number work is entertaining.
Use infinitive 'to compare prices' without 'the' generally. 'I'm accounting the prices' is incorrect verb choice and structure; use 'calculating the prices' or 'working out the prices'. 'That kind of number stuff' is informal; 'number work' or 'numbers' is clearer. Also avoid comma splice by using a semicolon or separate sentences.
× No it isn't. It is always not so arduous or hard for me to make choices when I shop because as I just mentioned, I always umm, plan what I'm gonna purchase, uh, for daily routine before I shop.
✓ No, it isn't. It is never very difficult for me to make choices when I shop because, as I just mentioned, I always plan what I'm going to purchase for my daily routine before I shop.
'Always not so arduous' is unidiomatic; use 'never very difficult'. 'gonna' is informal; use 'going to'. 'for daily routine' needs a possessive: 'for my daily routine'. Clean up filler words and punctuation for clarity.
× Personally, no, I'm so Inglis to believe that expensive products are not always better than cheaper ones because sometimes, uh, expensive products can not really express what you want to uh, express to others, like candies or friendliness rather than cheaper ones.
✓ Personally, no, I strongly believe that expensive products are not always better than cheaper ones because sometimes expensive products cannot really express what you want to convey to others, such as affection or friendliness, unlike cheaper items.
'I'm so Inglis to believe' is incorrect; likely intended 'I strongly believe'. 'can not' is acceptable but 'cannot' is standard. 'express what you want to express to others' is repetitive; use 'convey what you want'. 'like candies or friendliness' is awkward: 'such as affection or friendliness' or 'gestures like giving candy' depending on meaning. 'rather than cheaper ones' should be 'unlike cheaper items' or 'compared to cheaper items' to clarify contrast.
