Điểm: 82.0Gợi ý: Your answer is clear and relevant, but you can improve by adding one specific example and a linking phrase to make it more natural and informative. Avoid repeating similar ideas (comfortable / move around quickly) and keep it within 2–3 sentences.

× I prefer wearing sports wear because it feels very comfortable and helps me to move around quickly.
✓ I prefer wearing sportswear because it feels very comfortable and helps me move around quickly.
Use of verb 'helps' followed by to-infinitive is acceptable but more natural to use bare infinitive 'help me move'. Also 'sportswear' is one word. Suggestion: use 'help me move' and 'sportswear' for natural collocation.
× I definitely prefer comfortable and casual clothes because they are more comfortable. Easy to go everywhere for shopping or to go for a walk.
✓ I definitely prefer comfortable and casual clothes because they are easier to wear and convenient for shopping or going for a walk.
Second fragment 'Easy to go...' is a sentence fragment lacking a subject and verb. Also repetition of 'comfortable' is redundant. Use a complete clause with subject and verb and parallel gerund forms: 'for shopping or going for a walk'.
× I usually pair down with jeans or shorts or sometimes with skirts for special occasions.
✓ I usually pair them with jeans or shorts, or sometimes with skirts for special occasions.
The phrase 'pair down' is incorrect; collocation is 'pair (something) with'. The pronoun for 'T-shirts' is 'them'. Use 'pair them with' to be grammatically correct.
× Nuts really. I don't spend a lot of time choosing clothes because it's a waste of time for me.
✓ Not really. I don't spend a lot of time choosing clothes because it's a waste of time for me.
'Nuts really' is incorrect and likely intended as 'Not really'. 'Not really' is a common response. Ensure the sentence begins with a negative adverb and is a complete clause.
× I usually choose the clothes whatever is clean and convenient.
✓ I usually choose whatever clothes are clean and convenient.
Word order and relative clause are incorrect. 'Whatever' should directly modify 'clothes' and verb must agree: plural 'clothes are'. Move 'whatever' before 'clothes' and use plural verb.
× I wear work uniform on weekdays but I wear informal clothes on week weekends.
✓ I wear a work uniform on weekdays, but I wear informal clothes on weekends.
Use the article 'a' before 'work uniform'. 'Week weekends' is redundant; use 'weekends'. Add a comma before 'but' to join clauses. Ensure noun phrases are correct.
× I like plain colors like black or white because it's easy to match with other clothes or with other colors.
✓ I like plain colors like black or white because they're easy to match with other clothes or colors.
Pronoun 'it' does not agree with plural 'colors'; use 'they're'. Also 'with other clothes or colors' is more concise.
× I don't like colorful things because I think it doesn't suit me.
✓ I don't like colorful things because I think they don't suit me.
Pronoun 'it' is singular but refers to plural 'colorful things'. Use plural 'they' and plural verb 'don't suit' for subject-verb agreement.
