Part 1
考官
Do you like buying shoes? How often?
考生
I'm not a particular fan of fashion, so I only use clothes that are practical. I usually often only one pair of shoes. It's usually sneakers because they are the most comfortable type.
考官
Have you ever bought shoes online?
考生
No I actually have never bought shoes online. I pre-ordered them to be delivered to the shop where I could try them on and decide if they fit me and only boil them after that. I think it's a bit difficult to buy fitting shoes online.
考官
How much money do you usually spend on shoes?
考生
I don't think I spend a lot of money on shoes. I usually check a few shops to determine what is the optimal price at the moment and then I decide what is the maximum amount I am ready to spend on a new payer and go with the best offer.
考官
Which do you prefer, fashionable shoes or comfortable shoes?
考生
Oh definitely, comfortable shoes would be my choice because I walk a lot every day, usually it's more than 10,000 steps and because of that I need comfortable shoes to keep my feet healthy.
Do you like buying shoes? How often?
分数: 65.0建议: Be more concise and correct grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence that directly answers the question (e.g., "I don't buy shoes often"). Avoid redundant phrases ("usually often") and incorrect wording ("only one pair of shoes" needs clarification). Add one or two specific supporting details with linking words (e.g., "because" or "so") and keep to 3–4 sentences max.
示例: I don't buy shoes very often. I tend to stick with one or two pairs, usually sneakers, because they're comfortable for daily wear. Because I prefer practical clothing over fashion, I only replace them when they wear out.
Have you ever bought shoes online?
分数: 60.0建议: Clarify the procedure and fix vocabulary errors. Give a direct topic sentence ("No, I haven't") then explain clearly how you obtain shoes, using correct verbs ("reserve" or "order to be delivered to the store") and correct words (not "boil"). Use one linking word to show reason and a specific example to support your view that online fitting is difficult.
示例: No, I haven't bought shoes online. Instead, I often reserve shoes online to be delivered to the store so I can try them on before buying. This works better for me because shoe sizes and fit vary a lot between brands.
How much money do you usually spend on shoes?
分数: 70.0建议: Be direct about the amount or range you spend and correct small errors. Start with a clear topic sentence stating whether you spend little or much and give a specific price range or percentage of your budget. Use linking words ("so", "therefore") and correct word choice ("pair" not "payer").
示例: I don't spend much on shoes; typically I spend between $30 and $70 per pair. I compare prices at a few shops, so I can set a maximum I'm willing to pay and choose the best value.
Which do you prefer, fashionable shoes or comfortable shoes?
分数: 85.0建议: Good direct answer and a clear reason. To improve further, make the structure slightly tighter: a topic sentence, a linking phrase, and a specific example. Optionally mention what features you look for in comfortable shoes (e.g., cushioning, arch support).
示例: I definitely prefer comfortable shoes because I walk more than 10,000 steps a day. For that reason I look for shoes with good cushioning and arch support to prevent pain and keep my feet healthy.
× I'm not a particular fan of fashion, so I only use clothes that are practical.
✓ I'm not a big fan of fashion, so I only wear clothes that are practical.
'particular fan' is not the natural collocation; 'big fan' is idiomatic. Also 'use clothes' is incorrect — we 'wear' clothes. Use of correct adjective phrase and verb improves naturalness.
× I usually often only one pair of shoes.
✓ I usually only have one pair of shoes.
Sentence is missing a verb; word order 'usually often only' is incorrect and redundant. 'Usually' alone suffices. Use verb 'have' for possession and correct adverb placement: 'I usually only have one pair of shoes.'
× It's usually sneakers because they are the most comfortable type.
✓ They are usually sneakers because they are the most comfortable type of shoe.
Pronoun reference and word order were awkward. 'It' doesn't agree with plural 'sneakers.' Use 'they' for sneakers and 'type of shoe' is a clearer noun phrase.
× No I actually have never bought shoes online.
✓ No, I actually have never bought shoes online.
Missing comma after 'No' for clarity (not a grammar type listed but improves readability). The sentence tense is acceptable as present perfect; only punctuation added.
× I pre-ordered them to be delivered to the shop where I could try them on and decide if they fit me and only boil them after that.
✓ I pre-ordered them to be delivered to the shop so I could try them on and decide if they fit me, and only bought them after that.
'Boil' is a wrong word choice (likely 'buy') and the structure was run-on. Replace with 'bought' and add conjunctions/commas to separate clauses for clarity.
× I think it's a bit difficult to buy fitting shoes online.
✓ I think it's a bit difficult to buy well-fitting shoes online.
'Fitting shoes' is awkward; use adjective 'well-fitting' to modify 'shoes.' This is a present-tense opinion — keep present simple 'think' and adjust modifier.
× I don't think I spend a lot of money on shoes.
✓ I don't think I spend much money on shoes.
Native speakers use 'much' with uncountable nouns like 'money' in negative sentences. Present tense is correct; change 'a lot of' to 'much' for formality and correctness.
× I usually check a few shops to determine what is the optimal price at the moment and then I decide what is the maximum amount I am ready to spend on a new payer and go with the best offer.
✓ I usually check a few shops to determine the optimal price at the moment, and then I decide the maximum amount I am ready to spend on a new pair and go with the best offer.
Several issues: 'what is the optimal price' is better as 'the optimal price'; 'on a new payer' is a typo — should be 'pair' (noun), not 'payer.' Also add comma before 'and' to separate clauses. Preposition use 'ready to spend on a new pair' is correct after correction.
× Oh definitely, comfortable shoes would be my choice because I walk a lot every day, usually it's more than 10,000 steps and because of that I need comfortable shoes to keep my feet healthy.
✓ Oh, definitely. Comfortable shoes would be my choice because I walk a lot every day; usually it's more than 10,000 steps, and because of that I need comfortable shoes to keep my feet healthy.
Run-on sentence and punctuation rather than adjective/adverb mistakes; added punctuation improves clarity. 'Oh definitely' should be separated; semicolon and commas clarify related clauses. The tenses and word choices are otherwise acceptable.
