Điểm: 62.0Gợi ý: Be more concise and organize your answer: give a clear topic sentence stating whether you like buying shoes and how often, then add one or two specific reasons with linking words. Reduce fillers like “uh” and avoid repetition. Use precise vocabulary (e.g., "heel lining" or "cushioned heel").
Ví dụ: Yes, I enjoy buying shoes; I usually buy new pairs three or four times a year. I focus on comfort because I walk a lot, so I prefer shoes with a cushioned heel and good arch support. Therefore I choose brands known for comfort rather than fashion alone.

× Yes, I do, uh, three or four times in a year, I believe, Uh.
✓ Yes, I do. I buy shoes three or four times a year, I believe.
The original sentence uses an awkward tense and structure for frequency. Use simple present 'I buy' for habitual actions and omit unnecessary filler words. Place time expression 'three or four times a year' after the verb phrase for natural word order.
× Shoes should be comfortable and have soft heel so it's so important what kind of shoes you will buy.
✓ Shoes should be comfortable and have soft heels, so it's very important which shoes you buy.
Errors: 'soft heel' needs plural 'heels' to match general noun, and 'what kind of shoes you will buy' is unnatural. Use 'which shoes you buy' and simple present 'buy' for general statements. Replace 'so it's so important' with 'so it's very important' for correct adverb use.
× Yes, too many times for not to put myself in any trouble.
✓ Yes, many times; I haven't had any trouble.
The original mixes incorrect structure and tense. 'Too many times for not to put myself in any trouble' is ungrammatical. Use present perfect 'I haven't had' to indicate up-to-now experience and a clear phrase 'many times'.
× I will send the size by centimeters, so by the result they will send the right and 4th comfortable size to me.
✓ I will send the size in centimeters, so they will send the right and comfortable size to me.
Use 'in centimeters' not 'by centimeters'. 'By the result' is incorrect; omit it. 'Right and 4th comfortable size' is unclear—use 'right and comfortable size'. Use simple future or present tense consistently.
× For a durable and comfortable pair of shoes in Amazon you should pay a 115 till $200 and it's I believe it's expensive.
✓ For a durable and comfortable pair of shoes on Amazon you should pay $115 to $200, which I believe is expensive.
Use 'on Amazon' (preposition), correct number format '$115 to $200', and combine clauses correctly: 'which I believe is expensive.' Remove extra 'it's' and fix word order.
× I will buy an special offer and sale about $100.
✓ I will buy a pair on special offer or on sale for about $100.
Use 'a' before consonant sound ('special'), and clarify meaning: 'a pair on special offer' or 'on sale'. Use 'for about $100' for price.
× I prefer both. However as an athlete I believe comfortable shoes is even important on your clothes.
✓ I prefer both. However, as an athlete, I believe comfortable shoes are more important than clothes.
Subject-verb agreement: 'comfortable shoes' plural requires 'are' not 'is'. The original 'important on your clothes' is incorrect comparison; use 'more important than clothes' to express priority.
× But in you couldn't wear sports shoe in for every style.
✓ But you can't wear sports shoes for every style.
Remove extra prepositions 'in' and 'for'. Use contraction 'can't' or 'cannot' for negative, plural 'sports shoes', and correct word order.
× Sometimes you should put over your Nike and wear your Gucci shoe.
✓ Sometimes you should put your Nike shoes on and wear your Gucci shoes.
Use correct verb-preposition combination 'put on' not 'put over'. Use plural 'shoes' consistently and possessive 'your'. Maintain parallel structure 'put on... and wear...'.
