IELTS Speaking Part 1: Shoes – bài mẫu và câu trả lời hay

Do you like buying shoes? How often?

Not really, to be honest.

I'm a creature of habit, so I only buy new shoes when my current pair is on its last legs.

That's about twice a year.

I mean, I wear the same trainers almost every day.

Have you ever bought shoes online?

Once, and that was enough.

I ordered some sandals on a shopping app because they looked lovely in the photos.

The thing is, they ran small, and sending them back took ages.

So yeah, buying shoes online is a bit hit and miss.

You just can't tell how they'll feel until you try them on.

How much money do you usually spend on shoes?

Usually just a few hundred thousand dong for everyday trainers.

Basically, they're only for getting to class, so I go for something cheap and cheerful.

Mind you, badminton shoes are another matter.

I'm happy to splash out on those, since a bad pair can really hurt your ankles.

Which do you prefer, fashionable shoes or comfortable shoes?

Comfortable ones, I'd say.

I'm always rushing between lectures and the library, so I'd never sacrifice comfort for style.

I wore heels to my cousin's wedding once, and my feet were killing me by the end of the day.

Having said that, I do like trainers that look smart.

Do you think people spend too much money on shoes these days?

I think some people do.

A few of my classmates spend a small fortune on designer trainers.

Then they hardly ever wear them in case they get dirty, which I find kind of baffling.

To be fair, it's their money, and each to their own.
