Shopping— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Make the answer more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, correct grammar (e.g. 'I'm a bit of a shopaholic'), and group items logically. Avoid redundancy and keep to 2–3 sentences. Add a brief reason or example to support your statement.

Ejemplo: Yes, I enjoy shopping a lot — I’d even call myself a bit of a shopaholic. I usually shop for home items and groceries, and I also like buying clothes for special occasions because I enjoy finding something unique.

Sugerencia: Improve fluency by using linking phrases and correct grammar. Give a clear topic sentence, then one supporting reason with a concise explanation. Avoid repeating 'definitely' and use connectors like 'so' or 'therefore' correctly.

Ejemplo: Yes, I always compare prices before buying anything. If I can find the same product for less money, I’ll buy it from the cheaper shop to save money, so comparing helps me get better value.

Sugerencia: Be more specific about why choices are difficult and give a brief example. Use one clear topic sentence and one supporting sentence with a linking word like 'because' to explain the reason.

Ejemplo: Yes, I often find it hard to decide what to buy because I get overwhelmed by too many options. For example, when choosing a dress I usually go shopping with my mother because she helps me pick styles that suit me.

Sugerencia: Avoid absolute statements and refine language. Start with a balanced topic sentence (e.g., 'Not always'), then give a reason and an example. Use linking words like 'however' or 'often' to show nuance, and correct grammar (plural/singular agreement).

Ejemplo: Not always — often expensive products have better materials and last longer, but price doesn’t guarantee quality. For instance, some mid-range electronics perform as well as premium brands, so I evaluate reviews and features before deciding.

× Definitely, I'm a shopaholic person and I love to shop my home, grocery, my clothes for special occasion.

✓ Definitely, I'm a shopaholic and I love to shop for my home, groceries, and my clothes for special occasions.

The sentence misuses prepositions and plural forms. Use 'shop for' to indicate purpose of shopping. 'Grocery' should be plural 'groceries' when referring to items, and 'special occasion' should be plural 'special occasions' to match general meaning. Also 'shopaholic person' is redundant; 'shopaholic' alone is sufficient.

× Definitely I compare prices when I shop I think because if I get a same thing in a low price so I would definitely purchase from that shop.

✓ Definitely, I compare prices when I shop because if I can get the same item at a lower price, I will definitely purchase it from that shop.

The original mixes tenses and uses incorrect articles and phrasing. Use present simple 'I compare' with 'when I shop' and conditional structure: 'if I can get' (present ability) and 'I will definitely purchase' (future result). Use 'the same item' not 'a same thing', and 'at a lower price' instead of 'in a low price'.

× That's why I compare prices before buying anything.

✓ That's why I compare prices before I buy anything.

While the original is understandable, changing 'before buying anything' to 'before I buy anything' improves clarity and maintains consistent subject and verb structure. Either form is acceptable, but explicit subject is clearer in speaking tests.

× Definitely, it is quite challenging for me to make choices for myself, so I always go with my mother for shopping.

✓ Definitely, it is quite challenging for me to make choices for myself, so I always go shopping with my mother.

The phrase 'go with my mother for shopping' is awkward. Use the common collocation 'go shopping with my mother'. This orders the verb and preposition correctly and uses the -ing form after 'go' in this context.

× At some extent I agree with this statement because expensive product quality is better compared to cheap product and they are long lasting.

✓ To some extent, I agree with this statement because expensive products are often of better quality compared to cheap products, and they are longer lasting.

Several issues: use the idiom 'to some extent' not 'at some extent'. 'Product' should be plural 'products' when speaking generally. 'Quality is better' should be rephrased to 'are often of better quality'. 'Long lasting' should be 'longer lasting' to compare properly.

× So that's why I think expensive product are way far better.

✓ So that's why I think expensive products are much better.

Subject-verb agreement: 'product' should be plural 'products' to match 'are'. 'Way far better' is informal and awkward; use 'much better' for correct comparative adverb usage.
