Alexsandro's submission: Average Rating:
The last time I went shopping I bought a shirt, a jeans, a pair of shoes and a belt quickly. But in that day I was with my mother and my girlfriend. I really wanted to do other things in that day. I can not forget because I was waiting for them hours. You know... Women. They wanted to go shopping too.<br><br>My shopping were very cheap. I was very satisfied because I could buy cds and dvds at the end.

    Excellent - only minor revisions. The last time I went shopping, I QUICKLY bought a shirt, jeans, a pair of shoes and a belt. But, I was with my mother and my girlfriend on that day. I really wanted to do other things that day. I cannot forget, because I was waiting for them FOR hours. You know... Women. They wanted to go shopping too.

    Muito bom! Excelente texto!!! Apenas alguns pequenos deslizes: tente pôr "on that day" para indicar "naquele dia". E também o "for" antes de "hours" para indicar a espera. E na frase: "My shopping were very cheap", tente trocar o "were" por "was", já que "shopping" é incontável. Parabéns!

    Very good! It is clear you have thought the answer through. Your subject-verb agreement is superb. Some of the prepositions need work, however. I would have written: The last time I went shopping, I quickly bought a shirt, jeans, pair of shoes and belt. I really wanted to do other things that day, but I was with my mother and my girlfriend. I had to wait on them for hours. You know...women. They wanted to shop, too. The things I purchased were inexpensive. In the end, I was satisfied because I got to buy CDs and DVDs. Also, in formal, written English, the word cannot is one word. NOT can not. It is best to rarely use very. There is nothing wrong with using it, but it is better to not use it.
