การพูด IELTS ตอนที่ 1: Shoes คำถามและคำตอบ

Yes, I do like buying shoes. I enjoy looking at different styles and colours. I don’t buy them very often though — maybe every few months or when a pair gets worn out.

I do like buying shoes — it’s one of those small treats for me. I’ll usually buy a couple of pairs a year, more if there’s a sale or if I need something for the season, like boots in winter. I enjoy browsing in shops and online to compare styles.

Yes, I enjoy buying shoes, but I’m fairly selective. I tend to buy only when I need a replacement or I spot something that’s clearly an upgrade — roughly three or four pairs a year. I prefer to take my time choosing a well-made pair rather than buying on impulse.

Yes, I have. I’ve bought trainers and sandals online a few times. It was easy and they arrived in a few days. Once a pair didn’t fit and I sent them back.

Yes, I buy shoes online quite often now. I check customer reviews and size guides first because sizes can vary by brand. If the fit’s wrong I use the return service, which usually works fine.

I’ve bought shoes online on several occasions. I like the wider choice and the chance to compare prices, but I’m careful to check size charts and reviews for fit and comfort. I’ll usually buy from retailers with a clear returns policy in case I need to send them back.

Not a lot. I usually spend a moderate amount — maybe £30 to £60 for casual shoes. For nicer shoes I might spend more sometimes.

It depends on the type. For everyday trainers I’d spend around £50–£80, but for good leather shoes or boots I’ll pay £100–£150 because they last longer. I try to balance price and quality.

My spending varies by purpose. I’m willing to pay £80–£150 for durable leather shoes or boots because I see them as an investment, whereas casual trainers are more like £40–£70. I think about cost-per-wear rather than just the sticker price.

I prefer comfortable shoes. I wear shoes for long periods so comfort is important. But sometimes I choose fashionable ones for special events.

Generally I go for comfort — I don’t want sore feet after a day out. That said, I’ll pick a fashionable pair for a party or an important meeting. Ideally I look for brands that combine style and comfort.

Comfort usually wins because I’m on my feet a lot and prioritise foot health. However, I’ll choose a fashionable pair for specific occasions when style matters. Mostly I try to find versatile designs that balance support with a contemporary look.
