Shopping— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid awkward phrases (e.g. "the shopping guy") and unnecessary repetition. Use one or two brief supporting details and a linking word. Also correct grammar (e.g. "I prefer shopping once in a while" or "I only shop for special occasions").

Exemplo: I don't really enjoy shopping. Instead, I prefer to shop once in a while or only for special occasions, because I find it time-consuming and I usually know what I need in advance.

Sugestão: Give a clear topic sentence and a concise reason. Reduce hesitations and filler words (uh, um). Use a linking word to explain the exception. Provide a specific example of an expensive or unfamiliar item to make your answer more concrete.

Exemplo: Generally, I don't compare prices, but if an item is expensive or I'm buying it for the first time, I always check prices to avoid overpaying. For instance, when I bought a new laptop last year, I compared prices from three stores before choosing one.

Sugestão: Open with a clear statement about the difficulty, then explain briefly why and give a specific example. Avoid vague phrases like "fall behind" and grammar errors such as "you ask them" or "choices ability." Use linking words for clarity.

Exemplo: Yes, I often find it hard to choose colours. For example, when buying clothes I usually ask my parents for advice because I'm unsure which colours suit me, so I tend to follow their preference.

Sugestão: This answer is generally effective. Improve it by removing filler words, using precise vocabulary and a stronger linking word. Add one more brief result or opinion to strengthen your argument.

Exemplo: No, expensive products are not always better than cheaper ones because price often reflects brand or design rather than quality. For example, I bought an inexpensive kitchen knife that remained sharp for years, so I now check reviews and materials rather than assuming a higher price means better quality.

× Not really, I am not into the shopping guy and I prefer once in a while shopping and also when there are any occasion then I can I shop anything.

✓ Not really, I'm not into shopping, and I prefer to shop once in a while. Also, when there is an occasion, I can shop for anything I need.

Errors: unnecessary article 'the' before 'shopping', incorrect noun phrase 'the shopping guy', awkward word order and missing infinitive 'to shop', and incorrect plural 'occasions' vs singular 'an occasion'. Use 'into shopping' (no article), 'prefer to shop' for preference + infinitive, and 'when there is an occasion' or 'on occasions'. This makes the sentence natural and grammatically correct.

× Not really. I don't compare the prices when I shop, but uh, when the product is uh, expensive or unfamiliar with me, uh, then I uh, uh, compare it to the prices.

✓ Not really. I don't compare prices when I shop, but when a product is expensive or unfamiliar to me, I compare its price.

Errors: unnecessary definite article 'the' before 'prices' and wrong prepositional phrase 'unfamiliar with me'. Use 'price' singular to refer to a product's cost and 'unfamiliar to me' as the correct preposition. Also streamline redundant fillers. Present simple is appropriate for habitual actions.

× To be honest, when it's about choosing colours, I literally fall behind. I need help from my parents. I, uh, you ask them, uh, which colour would suit me and uh, usually I take their preference, uh, because I don't have these choices ability and that's it.

✓ To be honest, when it comes to choosing colours, I often fall behind. I need help from my parents; I ask them which colour would suit me, and I usually follow their preference because I don't have much ability to choose.

Errors: incorrect phrase 'when it's about' should be 'when it comes to'. Incorrect pronoun/subject confusion 'I, uh, you ask them' should be 'I ask them'. Awkward noun phrase 'these choices ability' — use 'much ability to choose' or 'confidence in choosing'. Use consistent pronouns and natural collocations.

× I think uh expensive products are not always better than, uh, cheaper ones because sometimes cheaper items have similar quality and expensive products often costs more for the brand or design.

✓ I think expensive products are not always better than cheaper ones because sometimes cheaper items have similar quality, and expensive products often cost more because of the brand or design.

Errors: subject-verb agreement 'expensive products often costs' should be 'cost' (plural subject). Also awkward phrasing 'more for the brand' — use 'more because of the brand'. Keep parallel structure and correct verb form for plural subject.

× For example, once I bought a low cost kitchen knife that was sharp and lasted a long time.

✓ For example, I once bought a low-cost kitchen knife that was sharp and lasted a long time.

Minor word order/article punctuation issues: place 'once' before 'bought' or after subject for natural flow. Add hyphen in 'low-cost' as a compound adjective. Tense 'bought... lasted' is correct past tense for a past example.
