Comments

  1. Not really, I only wear perfumes on special occasions. I am allergic to perfumes scents especially the strong ones as they make me feel nauseated. Luckily, I don’t have body odour so I always go natural.

    1. Your answer is very good, just a few small corrections:

      “I am allergic to perfume scents, especially the strong ones, as they make me feel nauseated.”

      Great job! If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.

    2. Yes absolutely! I love to wear perfumes every single day. I have different set of perfumes for different occasions. For example I love to wear floral scents in daily basis and they are usually budget friendly. However, I wear my high end perfumes with more sweet, woody and musky fragrances when I supposed to go for shopping, at friends house or any parties and dinners

      1. Your answer is very well-structured! Just a few corrections:

        – Instead of “every single day,” it is more common to say “every day.”
        – In the sentence “I have a different set of perfumes for different occasions,” it would be more accurate to say “I have different sets of perfumes for different occasions.”
        – Instead of “daily basis,” you can say “on a daily basis” or “every day.”
        – The phrase should be “when I’m supposed to go for shopping,” instead of “when I supposed to go for shopping.”

        Keep up the good work!

  2. Question: Do you like to wear perfume?

    Perfume? No, not really. To be honest, I don’t like spending extra money on it—I’d rather just shower regularly instead.
    That said, I do enjoy buying perfume as a gift for my mother since she loves anything with a floral scent.
    But for myself, I generally prefer my natural smelling.

  3. Perfume?
    No, not really.
    To be honest, I don’t even really like to use deodorant – I don’t have body odour.
    I have rhinitis, I am minimizing to use too artificial or chemical spray like perfume or deodorant on my body as it may cause allergic to me.
    I dislike to spend money on something that is not necessarily.

    1. Your answer is quite detailed and provides good reasons for your preferences. However, there are a few mistakes that can be improved:

      Corrected version:
      “Perfume? No, not really. To be honest, I don’t even like to use deodorant – I don’t have body odor. I have rhinitis, so I try to minimize the use of artificial or chemical sprays like perfume or deodorant on my body as they may cause allergic reactions for me. I dislike spending money on something that is not necessary.”

      Overall, your answer is clear and addresses the question well. Good job!

  4. Actually, it depends, maybe related to the price, because luxury article of trade has been like the more expensive the better quality. So I believe high-class perfumes smells better. I prefer perfume with subtle scent that can boost my mood, such as floral aroma is my most favorite.

    1. Your answer does make sense, but there are a few errors I’d like to point out:

      1. Instead of “luxury article of trade has been like the more expensive the better quality”, you can say “luxury items are often associated with higher prices and better quality.”
      2. Instead of “high-class perfumes smells better,” you can say “high-quality perfumes smell better.”
      3. Instead of “I prefer perfume with subtle scent that can boost my mood,” you can say “I prefer perfumes with a subtle scent that can boost my mood.”

      Overall, your answer is good! Keep practicing!

  5. Well, it depends on the occasion. I am so into it. I tend to prefer mild floral perfumes for every day usage. But, when it comes to some special occasions like attending parties, wedding or a evening out, I’d prefer some high end perfumes with a subtle tones of flowers and sandal wood. To be honest, perfumes makes me feel euphoric and more confident when I step out. Many a times they give me a positive state of mind and lifts my spirits up.

    1. Your answer is well-structured and gives a clear view of your preferences regarding perfumes. Here are a few corrections to improve it:

      “I am so into it” can be changed to “I am really into it.”

      “I’d prefer some high end perfumes with a subtle tones of flowers and sandal wood.” can be revised to “I’d prefer high-end perfumes with subtle tones of flowers and sandalwood.”

      “Many a times they give me a positive state of mind and lifts my spirits up.” should be corrected to “Many times they give me a positive state of mind and lift my spirits.”

      Overall, your response is great! Keep up the good work and good luck with your IELTS preparation.

        1. It seems like there might have been some confusion in your response. The question was whether you like to wear perfume. It’s great that you’re trying to aim for a high band score!
