PART 1

SHOES

ย 

ย 

Do you like buying shoes? How often?

ย 

(Answer 1)

ย 

Definitely, who doesnโ€™t like to? I enjoy buying shoes but I donโ€™t buy them often. I only buy shoes once or twice a year since I already have a lot of shoes.ย 

ย 

(Answer 2)

ย 

Yes, I do but not as much as buying clothes. Iโ€™m more into shopping for clothes than shoes because I donโ€™t need so many pairs of shoes. Iโ€™m happy to have four or five pairs of shoes and I donโ€™t need more.ย 

ย 



Have you ever bought shoes online?

ย 

(Answer 1)

ย 

Yes, but I just donโ€™t like it. I really love going to a shoe shop because I can really see the actual shoes. I would know if they fit me or if they look good on me. Thatโ€™s something I canโ€™t experience online so Iโ€™m not a big fan (expression: used to say that you donโ€™t like something so much) of buying shoes online.ย 

ย 

(Answer 2)

ย 

Not even once and I donโ€™t want to try. Iโ€™m just afraid that I might not like the shoes that I buy online. I donโ€™t like the idea of returning the shoes and asking for a refund because itโ€™s too hassle (adj.: inconvenience). Itโ€™s just a waste of my time.ย 

ย 

ย 

How much money do you usually spend on shoes?

ย 

(Answer 1)

ย 

I spent a lot of money in the past since I was crazy about (phrase: to be very interested) shoes. But these days, Iโ€™m wiser, I donโ€™t spend so much, Iโ€™m happy spending 100 dollars on shoes and sometimes less than that since I usually get a bargain (noun: a thing bought for sale).ย 

ย 

(Answer 2)

ย 

I havenโ€™t spent money on shoes lately because my current four pairs of shoes are still in very good condition. Normally, I bought expensive shoes, from 100 to 200 dollars, because theyโ€™re durable (adj.: long-lasting). So, itโ€™s fine with me to buy expensive shoes because I know that they last longer than buying cheap ones but the quality is terribly (adv.: extremely) poor.ย 

ย 

Which do you prefer, fashionable shoes or comfortable shoes?

ย 

(Answer 1)

ย 

I donโ€™t think the first choice is better than the other and vice versa (adv.: inversely) because for me I always look for comfortable and fashionable shoes. Itโ€™s nice to wear trendy shoes because they make you look attractive and itโ€™s great to wear them if they give comfort to your feet. So, for me, comfort and trendy style should go together (phrase: exist together).ย 

ย 





(Answer 2)

ย 

Comfortability is always my priority. I donโ€™t really care whether or not my shoes are fashionable. I want shoes that can protect my feet and can improve my posture. Iโ€™m not a model or an actor who needs to have fashionable shoes. Fashion is the least of my priorities.ย 

ย 

What types of shoes are your favorite?

ย 

As Iโ€™m a sporty person, I love trainers! They are comfortable to wear and I can use them all year round. Also, they can never be out of fashion since they are always suitable to wear on almost all kinds of occasions.

ย 

LEXICAL RESOURCE

Sporty [adj.] โ€“ athletic; fond of playing sports

Trainers [noun] โ€“ running shoes; sports shoe




All-year-round [phrase] โ€“ the entire year; the whole season of the year

Out of fashion [phrase] โ€“ old; outdated

ย 

Tip: Instead of giving the type of shoes at once, the speaker talks about his personality and connects it to his answer. It sounds natural!

ย 

ย 

Have you tried buying shoes online?

ย 

No, I donโ€™t have any experience of buying one and that has never crossed my mind since Iโ€™m afraid that if I buy shoes online they may not fit my size. Although there are always specifications, still, I canโ€™t trust them. Whenever I buy shoes, I always go to brick-and-mortar shops so I can try them on and see if they look good on me.

ย 

LEXICAL RESOURCE

Never cross (someoneโ€™s) mind [phrase] โ€“ to be thought of




Specification [noun] โ€“ detailed information

Brick and mortar shop [noun] โ€“ traditional shop; business or retail outlet

ย 

ย 

How often do you buy shoes?

ย 

Nowadays, just so rare as I have already a lot of pairs of different types of shoes. Back then, I used to buy thrice or four times a year since I didnโ€™t have any priorities, itโ€™s like collecting shoes was a hobby. However, these days as Iโ€™m living on my own, I need to be more conscious or careful about spending my hard-earned money, Iโ€™ve many bills to pay.

ย 

LEXICAL RESOURCE

Hard-earned money [noun] โ€“ money that is earned for working so hard



ย 

Tip: The speaker focuses on his previous experience to be able to develop a bit longer answer which heโ€™s able to give the examiner an idea of who he was in terms of buying shoes. Talking about previous experiences helps you develop better answers.

ย 

ย 

Do you know anyone who likes to buy a lot of shoes?

ย 

Considering my circles of friends or my family, I know no one. I guess theyโ€™re not really into shoes or theyโ€™re just satisfied having a pair or two. If I know someone who has that kind of habit, I can assume that he must have very deep pockets.

ย 

LEXICAL RESOURCE

ย 

Circle-of-friends [noun] โ€“ a number of friends who do things as a group

Deep pockets [noun] โ€“ to have a lot of money

ย 

Tip: Since the speaker doesnโ€™t know anyone and in order not to make his answer very short, he uses the conditional form โ€˜If I knowโ€ฆโ€™ to make his answer a bit longer while hitting a good mark in the criterion of Grammar. The conditional tense is considered advanced grammar.
