× I do like shopping especially for clothes, finding outfit that suit my funny outfits like uh casual sweet St. wear or smart smart smart uh casual pieces uh, the suits must still makes me happy. It's also fun way to relax my free time.
✓ I do like shopping, especially for clothes, finding outfits that suit my style, like casual sweet streetwear or smart casual pieces; the outfits must still make me happy. It's also a fun way to relax in my free time.
Multiple errors: plural and singular forms (outfit -> outfits; the suits -> the outfits) and subject-verb agreement (suits -> suit; makes -> make) and articles and prepositions (fun way -> a fun way; relax my free time -> relax in my free time). Improve by ensuring nouns agree in number with verbs, use correct articles before countable nouns, and use the preposition 'in' with 'free time'. Suggested focus: check singular/plural nouns and match verb forms, add 'a' before 'fun way', use 'in' with 'free time'.
× I hardly compare prices when I buy, when I buy the clothes, when when I go to the shop because I I really concentrated on on the quality of the item such as the.
✓ I hardly compare prices when I buy clothes or when I go to the shop because I really concentrate on the quality of the items.
Tense and verb form errors: concentrated (past) should be present 'concentrate' to match habitual action; redundancy and article issues (the clothes -> clothes; the item -> the items). Improve by using present simple for habits, avoid repetition, and use plural 'items' when speaking generally.
× Oh yes, uh, definitely. I I, I really hard to choose, uh, to choose the item overnight shop, umm, because I think I, I really don't know what's different between umm, uh, between, between so, so many.
✓ Oh yes, definitely. I find it really hard to choose when shopping because I don't know the differences between so many items.
Missing verb: 'I really hard to choose' lacks a verb; correct form is 'I find it hard' or 'It's really hard for me to choose.' Also 'overnight shop' is unclear and unnecessary; use 'when shopping.' Improve by using an appropriate main verb ('find') and concise phrasing for clarity.
× Not really umm, because sometimes the, the item, the, the, the price is so high. Uh, it, it just, it's just umm, about the, the, the the company want to earn some money. Uh, it's not related to the quality.
✓ Not really, because sometimes the price of an item is very high. It's often just that the company wants to earn money; it's not related to the quality.
Issues: article use ('the item, the price' should be 'the price of an item' or 'an item's price'), verb form (company want -> company wants), and repetition. Use singular/plural and subject-verb agreement: 'company' is singular so use 'wants.' Improve by restructuring the sentence to 'the price of an item' and using correct verb agreement.
