Do you like buying shoes? How often?
Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: Говорите более связно и уверенно: избегайте заполнителей («uh», «umm»), дайте чёткое вступление и добавьте небольшое объяснение частоты. Уточните «half the time a month» – лучше сказать «once or twice a month». Используйте связку и конкретику, например: причина интереса и типы обуви, которые вы покупаете.
Ví dụ: Yes, I enjoy buying shoes because I like trying different styles, and I usually buy them once or twice a month. For example, I often shop for casual trainers and a pair of smart shoes for work.

Which do you prefer, fashionable shoes or comfortable shoes?
Điểm: 58.0Gợi ý: Сформулируйте чёткое мнение и приведите конкретные примеры/контрасты: начните с главного утверждения, затем используйте связки («however», «for example») и объясните ситуацию, в которой вы выбираете удобство или моду. Избегайте тавтологии («looking good and nice»).

× Yes, I love, uh, buying shoes because I love it and umm umm, 1/2 time a month.
✓ Yes, I love buying shoes because I love them, and I buy them about once or twice a month.
The student used singular pronoun 'it' to refer to plural noun 'shoes'; use 'them'. '1/2 time a month' is unclear and ungrammatical; use 'once or twice a month'. Also remove filler words for clarity.
× No, because I don't physically see it touch it.
✓ No, because I can't physically see or touch them.
The student used singular 'it' for 'shoes'; use plural 'them'. Also combine verbs with 'or' and use modal 'can't' to express inability. 'Physically see or touch them' is natural word order.
× Maybe fifty dollars because I don't purchase very pricey shoes.
✓ Maybe fifty dollars, because I don't buy very expensive shoes.
'Purchase' is formal but not incorrect; however 'buy' is more natural in spoken English. 'Pricey' is informal adjective but acceptable; 'expensive' is clearer. Maintain simple present 'I don't buy' for habitual action.
× I prefer fashionable but sometimes comfortable because when I'm running I won't feel comfortable but when I go out I prefer fashionable because it's looking good and nice.
✓ I prefer fashionable shoes, but sometimes comfortable ones. When I'm running I won't feel comfortable in fashionable shoes, but when I go out I prefer fashionable ones because they look nice.
Pronouns and nouns were omitted or inconsistent; add 'shoes' or 'ones' to be clear. 'It's looking good and nice' is incorrect: 'they look nice' agrees in number and uses correct verb form. Break into two sentences for clarity and correct subject-verb agreement.
