Shopping— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Make the response more natural and concise. Start with a direct topic sentence, avoid fillers (“uh”) and repetitive phrases, and include one or two specific details (when, what, why) using a linking word. Keep it under five sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes, I enjoy shopping. Usually I go once a week to buy clothes, especially casual tops and jeans, because I like updating my wardrobe regularly and trying new styles.

Sugerencia: Answer directly and give a clear reason with a supporting detail. Remove filler words and improve grammar. Use a linking word (e.g., because, so) to connect your reason and an example or consequence.

Ejemplo: No, I usually don’t compare prices because when I find something I really like I buy it immediately; as a result, I often focus on style and fit rather than cost.

Sugerencia: Be concise and avoid repetition. State the difficulty, then explain how friends or family help, using linking words like ‘so’ or ‘because’. Include a brief example of how they help (give opinion, suggest sizes, or narrow options).

Ejemplo: Sometimes I find it hard to choose between similar items, so I usually shop with friends or family because they give honest opinions and help me pick the best fit or color.

Sugerencia: Avoid absolute statements and explain reasons with nuance. Use clearer vocabulary (e.g., ‘often’, ‘generally’). Give a brief example or counterpoint showing you understand exceptions (e.g., good budget brands). Remove repetitions and correct grammar.

Ejemplo: I don’t think expensive items are always better, but often branded products offer higher quality or better guarantees; however, some cheaper brands can be just as reliable for basic items like T-shirts or household goods.

× Being a shopaholic person, I love to do shopping very much.

✓ As a shopaholic, I love shopping very much.

'Being a shopaholic person' is wordy and awkward; 'shopaholic' already indicates a person. Use 'As a shopaholic' or simply 'I'm a shopaholic'. 'Love to do shopping' is unnatural; use the gerund 'love shopping'. This produces a more natural, concise sentence.

× Uh, mostly every week I am going for a shopping where I purchase a lot of clothes for myself.

✓ Mostly every week I go shopping where I buy a lot of clothes for myself.

Present continuous 'I am going' suggests ongoing action but here habitual action requires simple present 'I go'. 'A shopping' is incorrect; use 'shopping' without an article. 'Purchase' is formal; 'buy' fits conversational tone. Rearranged for natural word order.

× I don't compare prices while shopping because whenever I do shopping uh which things I like, I mostly buy it so I don't care about the prices of the clothes.

✓ I don't compare prices while shopping because when I see things I like, I usually buy them, so I don't care about the prices of the clothes.

Use 'when' instead of 'whenever' for typical occurrences here; 'do shopping' should be 'shop' or 'see things'. 'Which things I like' is incorrect word order; use 'things I like'. 'Mostly' is better as 'usually'. Pronoun agreement: 'things' is plural so use 'them' not 'it'. This makes the sentence grammatically correct and natural.

× Sometimes it is difficult for me to make choices when I am shopping, so I mostly go with my families and friends.

✓ Sometimes it is difficult for me to make choices when I am shopping, so I mostly go with my family and friends.

'Families' is plural and implies more than one family; for referring to the student's relatives use the singular collective 'family'. 'Go with my family and friends' is the correct phrase.

× So that is very good for me because I can get because I can take their decision while shopping.

✓ That is good for me because I can get help and make decisions with their input while shopping.

The original has repetition ('because I can get because') and unclear phrasing. 'Take their decision' is incorrect idiom; use 'make decisions with their input' or 'decide with their help'. The correction removes redundancy and clarifies meaning.

× Definitely expensive products are always better as compared to cheap one because we can know about the brand and it it cannot harm harm us.

✓ Definitely expensive products are not always better than cheap ones; however, branded products can be more reliable and less likely to harm us.

'As compared to' is wordy; use 'than' for comparisons. 'Cheap one' should be 'cheap ones' to match plural 'products'. The original used double negatives and repetition ('it it cannot harm harm us'). Also 'are always better' is an overgeneralization; corrected sentence adds nuance to be realistic and grammatically correct.

× So I always prefer to get expensive or branded products.

✓ So I always prefer to buy expensive or branded products.

Use 'buy' instead of 'get' for clearer meaning in shopping contexts. 'Prefer to buy' is the correct collocation. The rest is acceptable.
