Shoes— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Your answer is relevant and well organized, with a clear preference and an explanation. However, “spend too much on style I won’t wear” is unnatural; say “spend money on styles I won’t wear.” Avoid hesitation such as “umm,” and use a more natural future form: “I buy a new pair when they wear out.” Also, “a pair of shoes” is more accurate than “one.”

Ví dụ: Yes, I like buying shoes, but I don’t shop for them very often because I prefer comfort over fashion. I usually wear the same pair every day, so I only buy new shoes when my current pair wears out. This is usually once or twice a year.

Gợi ý: You give a specific example, but the answer contains several grammar and clarity problems. Use “I had to return them and buy a larger size,” not “by a larger size.” The phrase “because I’m short of time and I won’t” is incomplete; explain that you were short of time and worried the replacement would not arrive before the wedding. Use linking words such as “but” and “as a result” to make the sequence clearer.

Ví dụ: Yes, I have. I once bought a pair of high heels online at the last minute for my sister’s wedding. Unfortunately, they didn’t fit when they arrived, so I had to return them and order a larger size. It was frustrating because I was short of time and worried that the replacement wouldn’t arrive before the wedding.

Gợi ý: The main problem is the unclear price expression: say “around 2,000 dollars” or, if you mean a different currency, specify it clearly. “Spend $2,000 until dollars” is incorrect, and “durable for a while” should be “durable and long-lasting.” Avoid repeating the same price twice unless the example adds useful information. Also, make sure the amount is realistic for the type of shoes you are describing.

Ví dụ: I usually spend around 100 dollars on a new pair of shoes. I’m willing to pay a little more for comfortable and durable shoes because I don’t want to replace them frequently. For example, I bought a pair of good-quality sneakers this year for about 120 dollars.

Gợi ý: You answer the question directly and give a reason, but there are repetition and sentence-completion problems, such as “I I” and “comfortable and.” Replace “suitable for me” with the more natural phrase “fit well” or “be suitable for everyday use.” You could also add a specific comparison: fashionable shoes may look attractive, but comfortable shoes are more practical for daily wear.

Ví dụ: I definitely prefer comfortable shoes because I wear them for long periods and want them to fit well. Fashionable shoes may look attractive, but they can be difficult to walk in. For everyday use, I think comfort and practicality are more important than style.

× When they wear out, I will buy a new one.

✓ When they wear out, I buy a new pair.

The student is describing a regular habit, so the simple present is more appropriate than will. Also, a pair of shoes should be replaced with a new pair to make the meaning clear.

× I had to return them and by a larger size.

✓ I had to return them and buy a larger size.

The verb buy is needed before a larger size. The word by cannot be used to express purchasing a different size.

× The experience was frustrating because I'm short of time and I won't.

✓ The experience was frustrating because I was short of time and could not find another suitable pair.

The student is describing a past shopping experience, so the verbs should be in the past tense. Was should replace am, and could not is more appropriate than will not. The original sentence is also incomplete because will not needs a following verb or a clear meaning.

× I usually spend $2000 until dollars for a new pair of shoes.

✓ I usually spend up to $2,000 on a new pair of shoes.

Up to is used to describe a maximum amount, and spend is normally followed by the preposition on when identifying what the money is used for. Until is not appropriate for expressing an amount of money.

× I usually spend $2000 until dollars for a new pair of shoes because I want them to be comfortable, durable for a while so I don't need to buy them very often.

✓ I usually spend up to $2,000 on a new pair of shoes because I want them to be comfortable and durable enough to last a long time, so I do not need to buy them very often.

The original sentence combines several ideas without connecting them clearly. Adding and before the second adjective and using durable enough to last a long time creates a more complete and grammatically clear structure.

× As I mentioned, I definitely prefer comfortable shoes because I I spend money on them and I want them to be suitable for me so I can wear them for a while.

✓ As I mentioned, I definitely prefer comfortable shoes because I spend money on them and want them to be suitable for me, so I can wear them for a long time.

The subject I is repeated accidentally. In addition, the sentence contains several clauses, so a comma before so helps separate the ideas and improves the sentence structure.

× So yes, I prefer comfortable and.

✓ So yes, I prefer comfortable shoes.

Comfortable is an adjective and cannot stand alone after prefer in this sentence. It must modify a noun, such as shoes. The original sentence also ends with and, leaving the sentence incomplete.
