English-Japanese 作文 translation help

(Hi, I have a Japanese 作文の試験 -『 買い物について』to prepare for and I need help translating this composition I wrote in English. I have to use certain grammatical structures in the exam as well which I will highlight throughout the text, and I have to use complex 漢字 so please include all characters if you can. I'll post my attempted translation too. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated, thanks!)

I consider shopping as nothing more than (に過ぎない) a necessity at the moment and I don't really consider it a leisure activity. Shopping consists of purchasing groceries along with (とともに) clothes, but I hardly ever buy anything I do not need. However, rarely, on the way ([の]途中で) home from the mall, I might buy a novel that I want to read - which is not really (たいして~ない/たいしたNではない) a necessity, but this is the only exception. I think buying novels is an exception because for me reading is not only (~はAにしてB) interesting but also educational. My mother and sister however love shopping, and for them leisure is the very purpose (~こそ) of shopping. It drives me crazy when I go shopping with them! They are never satisfied with (あくことなく) the amount of clothes they have. If I were to (とすれば/としたら/とすると) view shopping like they do I would never have any money! I think I view shopping as a necessity at the moment because I am a university student and do not have a full-time job so I have to (~ねばならぬ/~ねばならない) budget. I believe having a steady income is connected to (AはBにつながる) viewing shopping as a leisure activity because you have more money to spend and do not have to worry about budgeting for necessities. I think when I have graduated from university and have a decent full-time job I ought to (~べきであろう/~べきねはない) buy myself expensive clothes and gourmet food rather than (むしろ) budget all the time. However, I should be (べきであろう) responsible too and save my money for the future. I think perhaps then shopping should be (べきであろう) a balance between necessity and leisure.

This is much better suited to the Learning Japanese subforum.

Your composition reads like it was done by one of those online translators. In order for it to make sense at all ( let alone being grammatically correct ), you would have to do a complete rewrite.

I would suggest you write something much simpler (in English) so you would only have to use the words/expressions/sentence structures that were covered in your lessons. Reading your Japanese composition, I don't think your Japanese is at the level where you could attempt a translation of what you've written in English.

I'm sorry I couldn't help.

I used a dictionary but yeah I struggle with constructing Japanese sentences I'll move it to the language subforums and maybe try to write a simpler composition. Thanks.

-『 買い物について』
私は「買い物」はその時に必要な物品を買い求める行為 に過ぎないと考えておりまして、「買い物」をレジャーであるとは思いません。
I consider shopping as nothing more than (に過ぎない) a necessity at the moment and I don't really consider it a leisure activity.

「買い物」は衣料とともに日常雑貨を買う行為であり、 不要なものを買うことはありません。
Shopping consists of purchasing groceries along with (とともに) clothes, but I hardly ever buy anything I do not need.

しかしながら、買い物から帰る途中で、読みたい小説を 買うことがたまにあります。その小説はたいして必要な ものではありませんので、これは唯一の例外です。
However, rarely, on the way ([の]途中で) home from the mall, I might buy a novel that I want to read - which is not really (たいして~ない/たいしたNではない) a necessity, but this is the only exception.

私は小説を買うのは例外であると考えていますが、これ は、私にとって読書は享楽にして教育的であるからです 。
I think buying novels is an exception because for me reading is not only (~はAにしてB) interesting but also educational.

母と姉（妹）は「買い物」好きで、彼女たちにとっては 「買い物」こそがレジャーの目的で行われるのです。My mother and sister however love shopping, and for them leisure is the very purpose (~こそ) of shopping.

彼女たちと買い物に行くと、発狂しそうになります。
It drives me crazy when I go shopping with them!

彼らは洋服をあくことなく求めます。
They are never satisfied with (あくことなく) the amount of clothes they have.

彼女たちと同じように買い物するとすれば、お金が全く なくなるでしょう。
If I were to (とすれば/としたら/とすると) view shopping like they do I would never have any money!

当面、必要物品しか「買い物」しないのは、今私は大学 生であり、正職にはついておらず、節約せねばならない からです。 I think I view shopping as a necessity at the moment because I am a university student and do not have a full-time job so I have to (~ねばならぬ/~ねばならない) budget.

私は定期収入は「買い物」をレジャーとしてみなすことにつながると考えます。なぜならば、 より多くのお金を持っていれば、必要物品だけに節約す る必要がなくなるからです。
I believe having a steady income is connected to (AはBにつながる) viewing shopping as a leisure activity because you have more money to spend and do not have to worry about budgeting for necessities.

大学を卒業して、適切な正規の職についたときには、い つも節約するよりもむしろ、贅沢な服を買ったり、グル メをしたりすべきであるでしょう。
I think when I have graduated from university and have a decent full-time job I ought to (~べきであろう/~べきねはない) buy myself expensive clothes and gourmet food rather than (むしろ) budget all the time.

しかしながら、責任も持って、将来に備えて貯金もすべ きであるでしょう。
However, I should be (べきであろう) responsible too and save my money for the future.

私は、そのときには、必要品の購入とレジャー目的の買い物のバランスをとるべきであろうと思います 。
I think perhaps then shopping should be (べきであろう) a balance between necessity and leisure

thank you so much! That really helps, I always have trouble with syntax and word-order when translating and it never makes sense haha and often when using a dictionary the word doesn't translate the exact same meaning Many many thanks for all your help
