× So that's why I buying shoes, not often.
✓ So that's why I buy shoes not often.
The sentence uses the base verb 'buying' incorrectly after 'I'. In simple present statements about habits use the base form (I buy). Use 'I buy shoes not often' or better 'I don't buy shoes often.' Suggestion: say 'I don't buy shoes often.' to sound natural.
× Yes, once a time I bought shoes from online, but the quality of shoes and the size issues so I have to return.
✓ Yes, once I bought shoes online, but the quality and sizing were poor so I had to return them.
Use 'online' without 'from' and 'once a time' is unnatural; use 'once' or 'one time'. Also 'quality of shoes and the size issues' is unclear; use 'quality and sizing'. Tense must be past 'had to return'.
× I had to return my shoes. So I don't like shoes, buy shoes online.
✓ I had to return my shoes, so I don't like buying shoes online.
The phrase 'don't like shoes, buy shoes online' is ungrammatical and repeats 'shoes'. Use the gerund 'buying' after 'like' to express preference. Combine clauses with a comma or conjunction.
× I always buy shoes offline.
✓ I always buy shoes in stores.
The word 'offline' is acceptable but informal; 'in stores' is clearer in speaking tests. No grammar error if keeping 'offline', but 'in stores' is a recommended alternative for clarity.
× Uh, I uh, do not spend this, uh, so much money on shoes, uh, because I do not buy many pairs of shoes because I always prefer my comfortable shoes whenever I go out outside, I buy only shoes whenever I go, uh, go to on occasions and uh, whenever I go on vacations.
✓ I don't spend much money on shoes because I don't buy many pairs. I prefer comfortable shoes when I go out, and I only buy shoes for special occasions or when I go on vacation.
Original has redundancy, awkward phrases and repetition. Use contractions and concise clauses. 'Go out outside' is redundant; use 'go out'. 'Go on vacations' should be 'go on vacation' or 'go on vacations'. Split into clear sentences and keep present simple for habits.
× I always prefer comfortable shoes more than fashionable shoes.
✓ I prefer comfortable shoes to fashionable ones.
Use 'prefer X to Y' rather than 'prefer X more than Y'. Also use 'ones' to avoid repetition. Keep simple present for habitual preference.
× I do not buy any fashionable shoes and I, I am a very, uh, I am very, uh, fussy about my uh, collection of shoes.
✓ I don't buy fashionable shoes; I am very fussy about my shoe collection.
'Any fashionable shoes' is awkward in affirmative negative; 'I don't buy fashionable shoes' is clearer. Remove filler repetition and use 'shoe collection' for natural phrasing.
× Uh, I didn't, I do not spend money on a buying.
✓ I don't spend money on buying fashionable shoes.
Mixes past 'didn't' and present 'do not'. Keep present tense 'don't' for habitual actions. Phrase 'on a buying' is ungrammatical; use 'on buying' or better 'on buying fashionable shoes.'
