Shoes— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more natural and concise: start with a clear topic sentence, correct grammar (quiet→quite, ‘rarely buy’), and avoid redundancy. Use one linking phrase to justify frequency (e.g., because/so). Give a precise frequency and a brief reason with a specific example to make it more vivid.

Ví dụ: I like shoes, but I buy them quite rarely — usually about once a year because I prefer durable items. For example, I keep a good pair of sneakers for over a year before replacing them to reduce waste.

Gợi ý: Make the response more fluent and grammatical: use past simple accurately, remove fillers (uh), and link events clearly (e.g., 'so' or 'because'). Include a brief outcome and a concrete detail (how you resolved it) to show communication skills.

Ví dụ: Yes, I once bought shoes online and received the wrong size, so I contacted the seller. They were helpful and arranged a free return; I sent the item back and they exchanged it for the correct size.

Gợi ý: This answer is clear and specific — improve by tightening language and using consistent currency phrasing. Start with the main point, then use linking words (for instance/whereas) and give exact ranges rather than approximate filler words like 'like'.

Ví dụ: It depends on the type of shoe. For running shoes I spend more — usually over 2,000,000 rupiah because I need durability — whereas for everyday shoes I typically spend about 1,000,000 rupiah.

Gợi ý: Provide a direct topic sentence and correct grammar (e.g., 'your feet are comfortable', 'you can move easily'). Avoid repetition; use one or two concise supporting reasons with a linking word and a short example to illustrate.

Ví dụ: I prefer comfortable shoes. When my feet are comfortable I can move around all day without pain, which is important for my busy commute — for example, I always choose cushioned trainers for walking to work.

× I am very interested in shoes.

✓ I am very interested in shoes.

This sentence is correct. It uses the present tense 'am' to describe a current state, so no change is needed.

× However I am quiet rarely to buy shoes because I think the items that we buy need to be endured for a long time.

✓ However, I quite rarely buy shoes because I think the items we buy need to last for a long time.

Problems: 'quiet' is a misspelling of the adverb 'quite'; 'rarely to buy' is incorrect structure — adverbs like 'rarely' usually modify the verb directly ('rarely buy'); 'be endured' is incorrect passive and collocation; use 'last' for durability. Suggestion: Use 'quite rarely' before the verb and 'last' to express longevity. Add a comma after 'However' for clarity.

× We think about sustainability, therefore probably around like once in a year.

✓ We think about sustainability, so I probably buy them about once a year.

Problems: 'therefore probably around like once in a year' is awkward and ungrammatical. Use 'so' to connect clauses and place frequency phrase 'about once a year' at end. Include subject 'I' for clarity because earlier speaker said 'I'.

× That's enough for a shoe.

✓ That's enough for shoes.

'A shoe' is unnatural here because speaker refers to frequency of buying shoes in general. Use plural 'shoes' to refer generally. Alternatively 'That's enough for one pair of shoes' if meaning one purchase.

× Yes, I had one and it's kind of a lesson learned situation where I got a wrong size.

✓ Yes, I did once, and it was kind of a lesson-learned situation where I got the wrong size.

Problems: 'I had one' is vague — use 'I did once' for experience; 'it's' should be past 'it was' because the event happened in the past; 'got a wrong size' needs article 'the wrong size' for a specific error. Hyphenate 'lesson-learned' or use 'a lesson'.

× Luckily the uh owner was really nice to me and they want to send back the right size if I return to them the size that I received.

✓ Luckily the owner was really nice to me and they wanted to send me the right size if I returned the size I had received.

Problems: Tense inconsistency — use past tense 'wanted' and 'returned' to match past event. 'Return to them the size' is awkward; use 'returned the size' or 'returned it to them.' 'They' as singular is acceptable but keep tense consistent. Rearranged for natural English.

× I think it depends on the type of shoes.

✓ I think it depends on the type of shoes.

This sentence is correct in present tense and needs no change.

× For running shoes or sports shoes, I want them to last for a very long time, so I usually have higher budget, for example like more than two million rupiah.

✓ For running or sports shoes, I want them to last a very long time, so I usually have a higher budget, for example more than two million rupiah.

Problems: 'For running shoes or sports shoes' is wordy — 'running or sports shoes' is smoother. 'I want them to last for a very long time' — remove 'for' after 'last'. 'Have higher budget' requires an article: 'a higher budget'. Remove filler 'like' and keep 'for example' or 'about' before amount.

× However, for daily shoes usually I spend less, probably around 1,000,000.

✓ However, for everyday shoes I usually spend less, probably around 1,000,000 rupiah.

Problems: 'daily shoes' is unnatural — use 'everyday shoes'. Word order: put 'usually' before verb or after subject. Specify currency 'rupiah' for clarity.

× Depends, but most of the time I choose comfortable shoes because when your feet is comfortable you can easily moving from one place to another.

✓ It depends, but most of the time I choose comfortable shoes because when your feet are comfortable you can move easily from one place to another.

Problems: Sentence fragment 'Depends' needs subject: 'It depends.' Subject-verb agreement: 'feet' is plural so use 'are' not 'is'. 'Can easily moving' is wrong — modal 'can' should be followed by base verb 'move' not '-ing'. Place adverb 'easily' before the verb for natural order.

× It makes you more convenient as well from having your day-to-day activities.

✓ It makes things more convenient for your day-to-day activities.

Problems: 'It makes you more convenient' incorrectly uses 'you' with 'convenient' — you are comfortable, things are convenient. 'As well from having' is ungrammatical; use 'for your day-to-day activities.' Suggest making the subject 'things' or 'that' to correctly collocate with 'convenient.'

× So everything is more about comfortable.

✓ So everything is more about comfort.

Problems: 'comfortable' is an adjective but a noun 'comfort' is needed after 'is more about.' Use 'comfort' to express the general concept. This fixes the sentence structure and makes it natural.
