Part 1

What is your favourite food?

Score: 64.0

Suggestion: Be more natural and concise: start with a clear topic sentence, correct grammar (cook → cooks), avoid repetition, and add one specific detail about the dish to make it vivid. Use a linking phrase if you add a reason.

Example: My favourite food is rice with vegetables. My wife cooks it very well, using fragrant spices and fresh carrots and peas, so I often enjoy it especially after a long day at work.

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

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: Improve grammar and cohesion: use correct verb forms (I have stopped eating / I have started eating), and give a brief specific example of junk food vs healthy food. Use a linking word like "but" or "however."

Example: I used to like junk food, such as burgers and fries, but I have stopped eating those and have started choosing healthier options like grilled fish and salads.

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

Score: 62.0

Suggestion: Be clearer and more organized: correct phrasing (During Ramadan, we usually have a wide variety of foods), remove hesitations, and give one or two specific examples of special dishes eaten in Ramadan. Use a linking word to contrast.

Example: Yes. During Ramadan we usually prepare a wide variety of special dishes, such as samosas and sweet rice for iftar, while in other months we eat simpler meals like plain rice and vegetables.

Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?

Score: 58.0

Suggestion: Correct grammar and reduce repetition: avoid repeating words, use correct tense and subject-verb agreement (the tools used to cook have changed). Be concise and add one clear reason why the favourite dish stayed the same, plus one concise detail about how cooking methods changed.

Example: No, my favourite food has not changed because the ingredients and recipes remain the same, but cooking methods have changed: instead of wood-fired stoves in the past, we now use gas or electric stoves.

Grammar

Incorrect use of nouns/word choice (treated as Singular and plural issue)

× My wife is a good cooker.

My wife is a good cook.

'Cooker' refers to an appliance used for cooking (e.g., a stove), while 'cook' is the correct noun for a person who cooks. Use 'cook' when referring to a person.

Third person singular issue

× She cook a very delicious rice.

She cooks very delicious rice.

With third person singular subject 'She', the verb needs an -s in the present simple: 'cooks'. Also omit the article before 'rice' when speaking generally ('very delicious rice').

Present tense issue

× I usually like it when I get back from work.

I usually like it when I get back from work.

Sentence is grammatically correct. No change needed. (Kept for completeness.)

Past tense issue

× However these days I stopped to eat junk food and start to eat healthy food instead.

However, these days I have stopped eating junk food and have started to eat healthy food instead.

The phrase 'these days' refers to the present period, so the present perfect ('have stopped') is appropriate. Use 'stop doing' or 'stop + -ing' rather than 'stop to do'. Also use parallel structure: 'have started'.

Incorrect use of quantifiers and articles (Singular and plural issue)

× During the whole year month of Ramadan we usually have many kind of food, while in the remaining months we simply you uh, have simpler food like rice and vegetables.

During the whole month of Ramadan we usually have many kinds of food, while in the remaining months we simply have simpler food like rice and vegetables.

Order should be 'month of Ramadan' or 'month Ramadan'; 'whole year month' is incorrect. 'Many kinds of food' uses plural 'kinds' after 'many'. Removed filler 'you uh' and unnecessary 'simply you uh,'.

Present tense issue

× I think no because the the ingredients and recipes still the same.

I think not, because the ingredients and recipes are still the same.

'I think no' is unnatural; use 'I think not'. 'the the' is a repetition error. Link verb 'are' is required to state that plural subject 'ingredients and recipes' is 'still the same' (better: 'are still the same').

Incorrect use of nouns and subject-verb agreement (Singular and plural issue and Third person singular issue)

× However the the tools used to cook has has been changed because in the old days they used woods.

However, the tools used to cook have changed because in the old days they used wood.

Remove the repeated 'the the' and duplicate 'has has'. 'Tools' is plural so use 'have changed' (or 'have been changed' if passive with agent). Use 'wood' (uncountable) not 'woods' when referring to fuel material. Also add comma after 'However' for clarity.
