What is your favourite food?
Score: 52.0Suggestion: Be concise and clear. Start with a direct topic sentence ("My favourite food is roasted chicken."), then give 1–2 specific supporting details using linking words (e.g. "because" or "because of"). Reduce hesitations and repetitions. Use correct noun phrases (e.g. "made with lemongrass, soy sauce, garlic, onions and pepper") and avoid filler sounds like "umm". Keep the whole answer to no more than 3–4 sentences.
Example: My favourite food is roasted chicken. I particularly like it when it is marinated with lemongrass, soy sauce, garlic and pepper because these ingredients give it a fragrant and slightly sweet taste. I often eat it with steamed rice, which makes a comforting meal.
What kind of food did you like when you were young?
Score: 58.0Suggestion: Answer directly and clearly, beginning with a topic sentence about the past ("When I was young, I liked roasted chicken"). Use a linking word to give a reason ("because") and provide a specific detail (who prepared it, when you ate it). Correct tense and grammar ("my mother bought it") and avoid repeating the examiner's earlier content. Keep it within 2–3 sentences.
Example: When I was young, I liked roasted chicken. My mother often bought it for me because it was a popular dish in my country, and I grew up eating it at family meals.
Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?
Score: 46.0Suggestion: Give a clear and structured response. Start with a direct answer ("Yes, I do"). Then use linking words such as "for example" and keep examples specific and grammatically correct (use past tense for past events: "last year I ate"). Explain briefly why you change foods (seasonal festivals, availability, taste), and avoid repeating filler words. Limit to 2–3 sentences.
Example: Yes, I do. For example, last year I ate a crispy chicken leg during a festival, while this year I had a whole fried chicken for a family celebration, because certain dishes are traditional for particular seasons or events.
Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?
Score: 48.0Suggestion: Answer directly with a clear statement ("Not really" or "Yes, slightly"). If you say it changed a little, explain how and give one specific reason using linking words ("because" or "since"). Avoid repetition and incorrect collocations ("I am addicted to it" is fine but be cautious). Keep it to 2–3 sentences and correct grammar ("the quality has improved").
Example: Not really — it has only changed a little. The recipe and quality have improved over time, so the taste is better now than when I was a child, which is why I still enjoy it so much.
× My favorite food is roasted chicken that's in in in ingredients like lemongrass, soy sauce and garlic, onions and also pepper that which makes umm like.
✓ My favorite food is roasted chicken with ingredients like lemongrass, soy sauce, garlic, onions and pepper that make it flavorful.
The sentence misuses articles and prepositions ('in in in ingredients') and has awkward relative clause 'that which makes umm like'. Use 'with ingredients' to show what the chicken contains. Remove repeated words and use plural verb 'make' to agree with the plural subject 'ingredients'. Also replace vague 'like' with 'flavorful' for clarity.
× And what I've said, my favorite food is umm, roasted chicken because it's popular in count in my country and since I was uh, a child, my mother buy me that and I try to taste that.
✓ As I said, my favorite food is roasted chicken because it is popular in my country and since I was a child my mother bought it for me and I tried it.
Mixed tenses and incorrect verb forms appear. Use 'As I said' for reference to previous statement. 'is' remains present for a general fact. 'since I was a child' requires past actions: 'bought' (past) and 'tried' (past). Also correct preposition 'in my country' to 'in my country' and replace 'buy me that' with 'bought it for me'.
× Yes I am eat different food.
✓ Yes, I eat different foods.
Incorrect auxiliary 'am' with base verb 'eat' creates wrong continuous form. Use simple present 'I eat' for habitual action and plural 'foods' to indicate different kinds. Also add comma after 'Yes' for natural pause.
× For example umm last year I eat umm crispy leg and this year I eat umm whole fried chicken and another year.
✓ For example, last year I ate crispy chicken leg, this year I ate a whole fried chicken, and another year I ate something else.
Talking about specific past years requires past tense 'ate' rather than present 'eat'. Clarify 'crispy leg' to 'crispy chicken leg' and add articles where needed. The final fragment 'and another year' is incomplete, so add 'I ate something else' to complete the idea.
× Not really, but my favorite food is changing, changing LA little bit because it improves it improves the the quality of the food and also the taste of the food.
✓ Not really, but my favorite food has changed a little because the quality and taste of the food have improved.
The speaker attempts to express a change over time; use present perfect 'has changed' for change since childhood. Remove repeated words. Use plural verb 'have improved' to agree with compound subject 'quality and taste'. Avoid filler and incorrect capitalization 'LA'.
× So I addicted to eat it because that is my favorite and.
✓ So I am addicted to eating it because it is my favorite.
Incorrect structure 'I addicted to eat'—use 'I am addicted to' followed by gerund 'eating'. Also complete the sentence by replacing 'that is my favorite and' with a full clause 'because it is my favorite'.
