Do you like shopping?
Candidato
Well, definitely I am and I am a huge fan of shopping. I love voracious of things like clothes and also I often go to grocery shopping. It was really exciting to go shopping that you can take your lists.
Examinador
Do you compare prices when you shop? Why?
Candidato
Well it depends. If I need something that is high quality I will not and I will just follow my heart to get which one I prefer. However, if it's not really important I will kind of compare the price to get the more cheaper 1 and it will be more better.

Is it difficult for you to make choices when you shop?
Candidato
Not really 'cause often when I go shopping I have a happy and relaxing mood so I will just follow my heart to get whatever I want. So it's not really difficult for me.
Examinador
Do you think expensive products are always better than cheaper ones?
Candidato
Well in my opinion I guess so, but it depends on what are you buying. Some are just expensive because the place you buy needs to pay a lot of money for the place. So actually it depends.
Do you like shopping?
Puntuación: 63.0Sugerencia: Be more natural and concise. Start with a direct topic sentence (Yes/No + reason), correct word choice (e.g., 'voracious' is incorrect here), avoid repetition and unnecessary phrases. Keep to 2–4 sentences, add one specific detail or example and use a linking word if needed.
Ejemplo: Yes, I really enjoy shopping because I like finding new clothes and useful items for my home. For example, last weekend I bought a warm jacket and some ingredients for my favorite recipe, which made the trip feel productive and fun.
Do you compare prices when you shop? Why?
Puntuación: 58.0Sugerencia: Improve clarity and grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence that directly answers (Yes/No/Sometimes), then explain reasons with linking words (because/so). Avoid vague phrases like 'follow my heart' without clarification and fix comparative forms ('cheaper' not 'more cheaper').
Ejemplo: Sometimes. If I want a high-quality item, I usually prioritize quality because it lasts longer. However, for everyday items like household products I compare prices online so I can save money.
Is it difficult for you to make choices when you shop?
Puntuación: 70.0Sugerencia: Be concise and avoid repetition. Give a direct answer and add one supporting reason or brief example. Use a linking word to connect ideas and replace informal contractions with clearer language for IELTS.
Ejemplo: Not really. I usually feel relaxed while shopping, so I make decisions quickly based on what I need or like; for instance, I often choose items that match my existing wardrobe.
Do you think expensive products are always better than cheaper ones?
Puntuación: 62.0Sugerencia: Avoid indecisive language and answer directly (No/Not always). Provide a clear reason with a specific example and use linking words (however, for example). Clarify the point about location or brand affecting price.
Ejemplo: No, expensive products are not always better. For example, sometimes a brand-name store charges more because of rent and marketing, while a less expensive but well-made product from a smaller brand can perform just as well.
× Well, definitely I am and I am a huge fan of shopping.
✓ Well, definitely I am a huge fan of shopping.
Redundant use of 'and I am' creates awkward repetition. Remove the extra 'and I am' to make the sentence fluent: 'Well, definitely I am a huge fan of shopping.' Keep present simple to express a general preference.
× I love voracious of things like clothes and also I often go to grocery shopping.
✓ I love buying lots of things like clothes, and I also often go grocery shopping.
'Voracious' is an adjective describing appetite and cannot be used with 'of' here. Use a verb phrase like 'buying lots of things' to express enthusiasm. Use 'go grocery shopping' (no 'to') and place adverb 'often' before the verb for natural word order.
× It was really exciting to go shopping that you can take your lists.
✓ It is really exciting to go shopping when you can take your list.
Original mixes tenses and uses 'that' incorrectly. Match present tense with general statement: 'It is really exciting.' Use 'when' to indicate the condition and singular 'list' if referring to one list; if plural, use 'lists'. Also 'take your list' is more natural than 'take your lists' in this context.
× Well it depends.
✓ Well, it depends.
Missing comma after introductory 'Well'. Use present simple 'depends' to indicate general condition; punctuation improves readability.
× If I need something that is high quality I will not and I will just follow my heart to get which one I prefer.
✓ If I need something that is high quality, I won't compare prices; I'll just follow my heart and choose the one I prefer.
Original is awkward and missing explicit object for 'will not'. Use contraction 'won't' and specify action 'compare prices' to clarify meaning. Use 'choose' instead of 'get which one' for natural phrasing. Add comma after conditional clause.
× However, if it's not really important I will kind of compare the price to get the more cheaper 1 and it will be more better.
✓ However, if it's not really important, I will compare prices to get the cheaper one, and it will be better.
Problems: 'kind of' is informal and unnecessary; 'compare the price' should be 'compare prices'; 'the more cheaper' is ungrammatical (double comparative) and should be 'the cheaper one'; 'more better' is incorrect (double comparative). Remove informal filler and use correct comparative forms. Add comma after conditional clause.
× Not really 'cause often when I go shopping I have a happy and relaxing mood so I will just follow my heart to get whatever I want.
✓ Not really, because when I go shopping I am often in a happy, relaxed mood, so I just follow my heart and buy whatever I want.
Use 'because' instead of informal ''cause'. Prefer 'am often in a ... mood' to 'have a ... mood'. Use adjective 'relaxed' rather than 'relaxing' to describe mood. Use 'just follow my heart and buy' for clearer verb choice and natural phrasing. Add commas for clarity.
× So it's not really difficult for me.
✓ So it's not really difficult for me.
Sentence is grammatically correct in present tense; no change needed. Included here to show it matches the tense and is acceptable.
× Well in my opinion I guess so, but it depends on what are you buying.
✓ Well, in my opinion, I guess so, but it depends on what you are buying.
Word order in indirect question should be subject then verb: 'what you are buying,' not 'what are you buying.' Add commas after introductory phrases for clarity.
× Some are just expensive because the place you buy needs to pay a lot of money for the place.
✓ Some items are expensive because the shop has high rent or high operating costs.
Original is repetitive and vague ('place' twice). Use 'items' as the subject and specify reason concisely: 'shop has high rent' or 'high operating costs.' This corrects noun choice and clarifies meaning.
× So actually it depends.
✓ So actually, it depends.
Add comma for natural pause. Present simple 'it depends' correctly expresses condition; no tense change required.
