What is your favourite food?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: Сократите тавтологию и исправьте грамматические ошибки. Начните с прямого ответа, затем дайте короткое объяснение и конкретный пример. Избегайте неправильных форм глаголов («I get addicted» → «I became addicted») и излишних слов («most preferred» → «favourite»).
Example: My favourite food is sushi. I first tried it when I visited Japan as a child with my family, and I became hooked on the fresh flavours and variety. For instance, I love the contrast of vinegared rice with raw fish and pickled ginger.

× It's because when I was a child I used to visit Japan with my family and I get addicted to sushi because it's their traditional meal.
✓ It's because when I was a child I used to visit Japan with my family and I got addicted to sushi because it's their traditional meal.
The sentence mixes past habits ('used to visit') with a present simple 'I get addicted' which is incorrect; the addiction occurred in the past. Change 'get' to the past 'got' to match the past context and ensure subject-verb tense consistency. Suggestion: Keep verbs in the same time frame when describing past events; use past simple for completed past experiences.
× OK to be honest my choices in food didn't really change since my childhood and I have loved sushi all my life and personally my favorite ones is definitely Philadelphia and Tamiyaki.
✓ OK to be honest my choices in food didn't really change since my childhood and I have loved sushi all my life and personally my favorites are definitely Philadelphia and Teriyaki.
There is a subject-verb agreement error: 'my favorite ones is' should be plural to match 'ones' and the plural noun, so use 'favorites are'. Also 'Tamiyaki' is likely misspelled: correct is 'Teriyaki'. Suggestion: Ensure noun-pronoun number agreement (plural subject -> plural verb) and check spelling for specific food names.
× Yes, of course I do eat various types of meals at different times of the year.
✓ Yes, of course I eat various types of meals at different times of the year.
The extra auxiliary 'do' is unnecessary because the sentence is affirmative and present simple; 'I do eat' is not wrong but sounds emphatic and is unneeded here. Removing 'do' makes the sentence more natural. Suggestion: Use 'do' in affirmatives only for emphasis; otherwise use simple present 'I eat'.
× For example, in the summer I always eat watermelon and ice cream, while in the winter I prefer to eat cakes and pancakes.
✓ For example, in the summer I always eat watermelon and ice cream, while in the winter I prefer cakes and pancakes.
'Prefer to eat' is not wrong, but parallel structure is clearer: 'always eat' vs 'prefer'. Removing 'to eat' makes the verbs more parallel and concise. Suggestion: Keep parallel structure in contrasting clauses; match verb forms for clarity.
× To to be honest, my choices in food haven't really changed since my childhood, so my favorite is the Philadelphia Roll, and I also enjoy teriyaki sushi because I adore the combination of creamy cheese and spicy sauce.

There is a duplicated word 'To to' which is a typo; removing the duplicate fixes the sentence. 'teriyaki' should be lowercase unless at start; spelling is correct. The rest uses present perfect 'haven't changed' appropriately to describe a continuing state. Suggestion: Proofread to remove duplicated words and typos; ensure consistency in capitalization.
