× Yes, I really like buying shoes because it's make me feel confident.
✓ Yes, I really like buying shoes because they make me feel confident.
The subject 'it' is incorrect for referring to shoes (plural); use 'they'. Also 'make' must agree with plural subject: 'they make'. Suggestion: refer to plural nouns with plural pronouns and match verb forms accordingly.
× However, I don't buy shoes very often because I am a student.
✓ However, I don't buy shoes very often because I am a student.
This sentence is grammatically correct. No change needed. (Kept present simple to express habitual action; 'because I am a student' correctly explains reason.)
× I usually buy a new pair of shoes, uh, twice a year.
✓ I usually buy a new pair of shoes twice a year.
Remove filler 'uh' for fluency. 'A new pair of shoes' is correct singular unit; no grammatical change other than removing pause filler.
× Yes, I have more shoes online in many fields many few times.
✓ Yes, I have bought shoes online several times.
Original uses incorrect verb 'have more' and unclear phrase 'in many fields many few times'. Use present perfect 'have bought' to indicate experience up to now and 'several times' for frequency. Keep sentence concise and specific.
× On shopping apps like Shoppies is very convenient because I can choose choose from many models and compare the price easily.
✓ Shopping apps like Shoppies are very convenient because I can choose from many models and compare prices easily.
Subject-verb agreement: 'apps' (plural) requires 'are'. Also remove duplicate 'choose'. Use plural 'prices' for general comparison. Suggestion: start sentence with 'Shopping apps' rather than 'On shopping apps' for clearer structure.
× I usually spend on soup 500,000 to 1,000,000.
✓ I usually spend 500,000 to 1,000,000 on shoes.
Word order is incorrect and 'soup' is a typo for 'shoes'. Place the object after the verb 'spend' and specify on what: 'spend [amount] on shoes'. Ensure correct nouns.
× I think the price is reasonable for student for student and I am trying to save my money to build a new pair of shoes last long.
✓ I think the price is reasonable for a student, and I am trying to save my money so that a new pair of shoes will last longer.
Use article 'a' with 'student'. Remove repeated phrase. Use purpose/result clause 'so that' and future/infinitive structure 'will last longer' (or 'to make a new pair of shoes last longer') to express intention. 'Last long' should be 'last longer'.
× Well, let me see. I think I prefer fashionable shoes because it's make me feel confident.
✓ Well, let me see. I think I prefer fashionable shoes because they make me feel confident.
Same issue as earlier: 'shoes' is plural so use plural pronoun 'they' and plural verb 'make'. 'It's' (it is) is incorrect for plural antecedent.
