shoes

Use or Wear

Candidate 🇮🇩

I always use special shoes when I'm working in the laboratory.

Ya ya ya Mr IELTS Examiner. I should say wear special shoes!  But the context is perfectly clear and you understand what I mean, right? I mean, you can easily picture the shoes I'm talking about, right?

Examiner: 🇬🇧

Yes, I understand. But you're using weak verb/noun collocation, and so I have to give you a low score for vocabulary. Next time you want to translate 'pake baju', or 'pake sepatu', please 'pake' wear. OK?
