Part 1

What is your favourite food?

Score: 72.0

Suggestion: Be more concise and correct small grammar issues; begin with a clear topic sentence and limit to max 3–4 supporting sentences. Add one specific detail (e.g., which ingredients or occasion) and use a linking word to connect ideas. Also correct article and verb forms (e.g., 'the taste impresses me' → 'I love its flavour').

Example: I love biryani. It is a spiced rice dish with fragrant spices like cardamom and cloves, and I especially enjoy mutton biryani. Moreover, sharing it with my family makes meals feel festive and warm.

What kind of food did you like when you were young?

Score: 66.0

Suggestion: Structure the answer to contrast past and present clearly: start with a topic sentence about childhood preference, then contrast with current preference using a linking word (e.g., 'but' or 'however'). Fix grammar (e.g., 'our noodles' → 'noodles' and 'I dare to try' → 'I like to try'). Provide one specific example of a noodle dish you liked as a child.

Example: When I was young, I mainly ate instant noodles because they were quick and easy to make. However, now I prefer mutton biryani, and I also enjoy trying new dishes like Korean ramen or grilled kebabs.

Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: Give a slightly fuller answer with a brief reason and one exception to show nuance. Use a linking word (e.g., 'but' or 'although') and correct small phrasing ('it's very popular food' → 'it's a very popular dish'). Keep it concise and specific (mention a seasonal dish you might eat occasionally).

Example: Not really — I usually eat the same kinds of food year-round because biryani is my favourite. However, during festivals we sometimes have special sweets and grilled fish, so my menu does change on special occasions.

Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?

Score: 68.0

Suggestion: Answer directly and avoid repetition. Start with a clear statement (Yes/No), then give a concise reason using correct grammar ('its aromatic spices'). Add one supporting detail about why biryani appeals to you compared with noodles.

Example: Yes, it has changed. As a child I mostly ate noodles because they were easy, but now I prefer mutton biryani for its rich, aromatic spices and hearty meat, which feel more satisfying.

Grammar

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× My favorite food is biryani because it has lots of aromatic spices and the taste impresses me.

My favorite food is biryani because it has many aromatic spices and the taste impresses me.

Use 'many' with countable plural nouns (spices). 'Lots of' is acceptable colloquially but 'many' is more grammatically appropriate in formal speech; this improves precision and register.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× It brings out enjoyment and well-being when we eat with our family.

It brings enjoyment and a sense of well-being when we eat with our family.

Replace 'brings out enjoyment' with 'brings enjoyment' and add 'a sense of' to collocate with 'well-being'. This corrects awkward phrasing and ensures natural noun usage.

Sentence structure errors

× Otherwise the meal feels isolated.

Otherwise, the meal feels lonely.

'Meal feels isolated' is unnatural; 'lonely' describes the feeling better. Also add a comma after 'Otherwise' for clarity.

Verb in the past participle form

× As a child, I used to eat our noodles, which is more convenient and easy to make.

As a child, I used to eat our noodles, which were more convenient and easy to make.

Relative clause refers to 'noodles' (plural), so verb should be plural 'were' not 'is'. This fixes subject-verb agreement in the relative clause.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× Now I prefer mutton biryani which is my favorite altogether.

Now I prefer mutton biryani, which is my favorite overall.

Use 'overall' instead of 'altogether' to mean 'in general' or 'as a whole' and add a comma before the nonrestrictive clause for correct punctuation.

Incorrect use of modal verb usage

× I dare to try different food in my life.

I have dared to try different foods in my life.

Use present perfect 'have dared' to express life experience up to now and 'foods' plural for variety. Alternatively, 'I dare to try' would express current willingness, but given context 'in my life' implies experience.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× Not really.

Not really.

This short response is acceptable as is; no grammatical correction needed.

Incorrect use of the definite article

× I don't try different foods at different times because my favorite is biryani, which I love to eat and it's very popular food in our state.

I don't try different foods at different times because my favorite is biryani, which I love to eat and which is very popular in our state.

Replace 'it's very popular food' with 'which is very popular' and remove redundant 'food'. Use 'which' to link the clause properly. This corrects awkward phrasing and article usage.

Past tense issue

× As I mentioned before, I used to eat noodles a lot when I was a child, but now I prefer eating mutton biryani which is my favorite because of it aromatic spices and the taste.

As I mentioned before, I used to eat noodles a lot when I was a child, but now I prefer eating mutton biryani, which is my favorite because of its aromatic spices and taste.

Change 'it aromatic spices' to 'its aromatic spices' (possessive pronoun). Add a comma before the nonrestrictive clause and remove the extra 'the' before 'taste' for natural phrasing.
