Do you like buying shoes? How often?
Candidato
To be honest, I wouldn't say I enjoy it. I typically purchase a new pair of free once a year. Actually, I prioritize utilitarian leather shoes so as to maintain my dignity at work. I suppose if I were to buy shoes more frequently, I would look for durable ones that are.
Examinador
Have you ever bought shoes online?
Candidato
Actually, I have, but only for casual footwear. I purchased some sneakers on the desktop platform recently, which was exceptionally efficient. However, for professional leather shoes, I still prioritize the tactile experience in store. I suppose if I were to buy them online, I would be quite anxious about the fit compromising my comfort.

How much money do you usually spend on shoes?
Candidato
That's a good question actually. I usually spend roughly ¥30,000 on the pair. I believe it has an essential infrastructure for my professional life. I suppose if I were to opt for Gibraltar alternative, it would probably turn out to be less durable, which would compromise my professional dignity.

Actually, I prioritize comfort because my job involves a lot of movement. I found that if my shoes are uncomfortable, it significantly reduces my focus. Whereas others might choose styles I view everywhere has a vital infrastructure for my health and professional dignity.
Do you like buying shoes? How often?
Pontuação: 68.0Sugestão: 発音や語彙の使い方は一部適切ですが、いくつか文法的な誤りと意味の不明瞭さがあります。例えば “a new pair of free” や文末の “that are.” は不完全です。回答は直接的なトピック文で始まっていますが、補足説明で言いたいことが重複していたり、冗長な表現があります。改善策としては:1) 不要な語句を削除して簡潔に述べる(最大5文以内)。2) 不完全なフレーズを正しく直す(例: “a new pair of shoes”)。3) 接続詞(for example, because, so)を使って論理的につなげる。4) 具体的な頻度と理由を明確にする。
Exemplo: To be honest, I don't enjoy shopping for shoes; I usually buy a new pair once a year. I prefer practical leather shoes because they look professional for work. For this reason, I focus on durability and simple styles rather than trends.
Have you ever bought shoes online?
Pontuação: 82.0Sugestão: 内容は明確で自然ですが、いくつか語彙選択と言い回しを改善できます。“desktop platform” は不自然で、“website” または “online” が適切です。また “exceptionally efficient” はやや堅苦しく、会話では “very convenient” などの表現が自然です。改善策:1) 日常的な語彙を選ぶ。2) 接続詞(however, but, so)を使って文の流れをスムーズにする。3) 具体例(配達の速さや返品ポリシー)を加えると説得力が増す。
Exemplo: Yes, I have, but only for casual shoes. I recently bought a pair of sneakers on a website, which was very convenient because delivery was fast. For formal leather shoes, though, I prefer trying them on in a store since I'm worried that an online purchase might not fit properly.
How much money do you usually spend on shoes?
Pontuação: 60.0Sugestão: 回答は金額を示しており主旨は伝わりますが、“essential infrastructure” や “Gibraltar alternative” といった表現は文脈に合わず意味が不明瞭です。言いたいこと(品質に投資する理由)をもっと明確にし、具体的な理由や比較を簡潔に述べると良いです。改善策:1) 不自然な比喩や固有名詞を避ける。2) 支出理由を明確に述べる(耐久性、快適さ、見た目)。3) 接続語で理由を示す(because, so)。
Exemplo: I usually spend about ¥30,000 on a pair of shoes because I need them to be durable and comfortable for work. Cheaper alternatives tend to wear out faster, so I prefer investing in higher-quality shoes that last longer.
Which do you prefer, fashionable shoes or comfortable shoes?
Pontuação: 62.0Sugestão: 主張(快適さを重視する)は明確ですが、最後の文は意味が不明瞭で冗長です。“vital infrastructure” や文の構造が不自然で、具体例や比較をもっと簡潔に述べるべきです。改善策:1) 比較をする際は明確な対比表現を使う(while, whereas)。2) 不要な比喩や抽象表現を避ける。3) 具体例(長時間の歩行や立ち仕事)を付け加えると説得力が上がる。
Exemplo: I prefer comfortable shoes because my job requires a lot of walking. If my shoes are uncomfortable, I lose concentration and get tired more quickly, so comfort is more important to me than fashion.
× I typically purchase a new pair of free once a year.
✓ I typically purchase a new pair of shoes once a year.
The original sentence omits the noun after 'pair' and uses 'free' incorrectly. 'Pair' must be followed by the item it refers to (pair of shoes). Use 'shoes' and remove 'free'. Suggestion: use 'a new pair of shoes' to be clear and grammatically correct.
× Actually, I prioritize utilitarian leather shoes so as to maintain my dignity at work.
✓ Actually, I prioritize utilitarian leather shoes to maintain my professional appearance at work.
'So as to' is formal but acceptable; however 'maintain my dignity at work' is awkward in this context. Replacing with 'to maintain my professional appearance' clarifies meaning and improves naturalness while preserving intent.
× I suppose if I were to buy shoes more frequently, I would look for durable ones that are.
✓ I suppose if I were to buy shoes more frequently, I would look for durable ones.
The clause ends with an unfinished relative clause 'that are.' Removing the trailing 'that are' completes the sentence. Ensure sentences do not end with incomplete relative clauses.
× Actually, I have, but only for casual footwear.
✓ Actually, I have, but only for casual footwear.
This sentence is grammatically correct; no tense change needed. It uses present perfect appropriately to describe past experience with relevance to the present.
× I purchased some sneakers on the desktop platform recently, which was exceptionally efficient.
✓ I recently purchased some sneakers on the desktop platform, which was exceptionally convenient.
Order of adverb 'recently' is moved for natural flow. 'Efficient' usually describes processes or people; 'convenient' is more natural for a shopping experience. Also ensure adverb placement for natural English.
× However, for professional leather shoes, I still prioritize the tactile experience in store.
✓ However, for professional leather shoes, I still prioritize the tactile experience in store.
Sentence is acceptable, but American English often uses 'in-store' hyphenated as an adjective or 'in store' as adverbial phrase. No mandatory correction required; can use 'in-store' if used attributively.
× I suppose if I were to buy them online, I would be quite anxious about the fit compromising my comfort.
✓ I suppose if I were to buy them online, I would be quite anxious that the fit might compromise my comfort.
Original is understandable but slightly awkward. Recasting with 'be anxious that' and 'might compromise' clarifies the conditional concern and matches modality for hypothetical situations.
× I usually spend roughly ¥30,000 on the pair.
✓ I usually spend roughly ¥30,000 on a pair.
Use 'a pair' rather than 'the pair' because speaker refers to a typical purchase generically. 'The' implies a specific pair previously mentioned; use 'a' for indefinite reference.
× I believe it has an essential infrastructure for my professional life.
✓ I believe they are an essential part of my professional life.
Refers to shoes (plural), so use plural pronoun 'they' and replace 'infrastructure' (incorrect metaphor) with 'an essential part' for natural expression.
× I suppose if I were to opt for Gibraltar alternative, it would probably turn out to be less durable, which would compromise my professional dignity.
✓ I suppose if I were to opt for a Gibraltar alternative, it would probably be less durable, which would compromise my professional appearance.
Add article 'a' before 'Gibraltar alternative'. 'Turn out to be' can be shortened to 'be' for conciseness. Replace 'professional dignity' with 'professional appearance' for naturalness.
× Actually, I prioritize comfort because my job involves a lot of movement.
✓ Actually, I prioritize comfort because my job involves a lot of movement.
This sentence is grammatically correct and natural; no change needed.
× I found that if my shoes are uncomfortable, it significantly reduces my focus.
✓ I find that if my shoes are uncomfortable, it significantly reduces my focus.
Mixing past 'found' with general truth in the conditional is inconsistent. Use present 'find' to state a general ongoing observation. Alternatively, change 'reduces' to 'reduce' if subject agreement changed; here 'it' refers to discomfort, so 'it significantly reduces' is acceptable.
× Whereas others might choose styles I view everywhere has a vital infrastructure for my health and professional dignity.
✓ Whereas others might choose styles I see everywhere, I consider comfort a vital factor for my health and professional appearance.
Original sentence is a run-on and unclear. Break into two parts: 'styles I see everywhere' and contrast with speaker's view. Replace 'infrastructure' with 'factor' and 'professional dignity' with 'professional appearance' for naturalness.
