Shoes— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be more specific and expand your answer with a topic sentence and supporting detail. State whether you dislike shopping for shoes or simply buy rarely, give a frequency and a brief reason. Use a linking word to connect details.

예시: I rarely buy shoes; maybe once every two years because my feet don’t change size often. For instance, I usually get one new pair when my old ones are worn out, so I don’t go shopping frequently.

제안: Answer directly and clearly, correct grammar, and provide a reason. Use a topic sentence then add a supporting detail with a linking word (because, so, however).

예시: No, I have never bought shoes online because I prefer to try shoes on before buying. Therefore I avoid both online and in-store shoe purchases.

제안: Avoid exaggerated phrases and be realistic. Give an approximate amount or range and explain why. Use linking words to clarify frequency and reason.

예시: I usually spend very little on shoes, perhaps around $10–$20 a year, because I mostly wear inexpensive slippers and rarely replace them.

제안: Directly address the choice and justify it. Start with a topic sentence stating your preference (fashionable or comfortable), then explain why and give a brief example. Use linking words like because or so.

예시: I prefer comfortable shoes rather than fashionable ones because comfort matters more for my daily routine. For example, I usually wear slippers at home since they are lightweight and keep my feet relaxed.

× I hardly buy shoes.

✓ I rarely buy shoes.

The phrase 'hardly buy' is grammatically possible but sounds awkward or unnatural in this context. 'Hardly' suggests almost never; 'rarely' is a more natural adverb to describe infrequent actions. Use 'rarely' to improve naturalness and clarity. Suggestion: Replace 'hardly' with 'rarely' when describing how often you do something.

× I don't buy shoes at all. I neither I buy online neither I buy offline.

✓ I don't buy shoes at all. I neither buy them online nor buy them offline.

Errors: incorrect use of 'neither... neither' and unnecessary repetition of 'I'. The correct correlative pair is 'neither... nor'. Also include an object ('them') after 'buy' for clarity. Suggestion: Use 'neither... nor' and avoid repeating the subject when it's the same clause.

× I don't spend a single penny on purchasing shoes.

✓ I don't spend a single penny on buying shoes.

'Purchasing' is grammatically correct but 'buying' is more natural in spoken English. Both are gerunds; this is a style/naturalness issue rather than a strict grammar error. Suggestion: Use 'buying' for more natural spoken responses.

× I prefer slippers.

✓ I prefer slippers to fashionable or comfortable shoes.

The student's answer is grammatically correct but incomplete in relation to the question that asked to choose between fashionable or comfortable shoes. To directly answer the question, include the comparison: 'prefer X to Y'. Suggestion: Add the comparison phrase to make the answer fit the question context.
