Do you like buying shoes? How often?
分數: 72.0建議: Answer both parts of the question directly: state that you dislike buying shoes and explain how often you buy them. Use the natural phrase “in my opinion” instead of “according to me,” and say “time-consuming.” Add a specific frequency to make the answer complete.
範例: Not really. I only buy shoes once or twice a year, usually when my old ones are worn out. I find shopping for shoes time-consuming and tiring, so I prefer to buy a practical pair and use it for a long time.
Have you ever bought shoes online?
分數: 58.0建議: Answer the question clearly and avoid repeating “online resources” and “convenient.” The phrase “give preference to” should be replaced with “prefer,” and “from which I have bought food” is unclear and unrelated; it may be a mistake for “four of them.” Use a linking word such as “also” or “as a result,” and give a specific detail about your online purchases.
範例: Yes, I have. I usually buy shoes online because it is convenient and I can compare prices without leaving home. I currently have six pairs, and four of them were bought online. I normally read customer reviews and check the size guide before ordering.
How much money do you usually spend on shoes?
分數: 61.0建議: Give a specific amount or price range instead of mainly explaining where you shop. Use “prefer buying shoes online” rather than “give more preference to buy shoes,” and replace the incorrect phrase “ivory products” with “affordable products” or “a wider range of products.” Explain why you usually spend that amount.
範例: I usually spend around 40 to 60 dollars on a pair of shoes. I prefer buying them online because online stores often offer affordable products and discounts. However, I am willing to pay more for sports shoes if they are durable and comfortable.
Which do you prefer, fashionable shoes or comfortable shoes?
分數: 68.0建議: Your preference is clear, but “I feel like ants in my pants” means feeling restless or unable to sit still, so it does not express discomfort with fashionable shoes. Say that fashionable shoes can be uncomfortable or restrictive. Use “I prefer wearing comfortable shoes” and make “them” agree with the plural noun “shoes.”
範例: I definitely prefer comfortable shoes. Fashionable shoes may look attractive, but they can be tight and painful, especially when I have to walk for a long time. Comfortable shoes allow me to move easily, so I usually choose them for everyday wear.

The preposition to in the expression give preference to must be followed by a noun or a gerund, not the base form of a verb. Therefore, buy should be changed to buying. Give more preference is also unnecessarily repetitive; give preference is sufficient.

✓ Well, whenever I wear fashionable shoes, I feel like I have ants in my pants.
Whenever already introduces the time relationship, so at that time is unnecessary and makes the sentence awkward. Do not use both expressions together. Also, feel like I have ants in my pants is the clearer grammatical structure for this idiom.
