Part 1

What is your favourite food?

Score: 58.0

Suggestion: Be clearer and more concise. Start with a direct topic sentence, then give one or two specific examples with brief reasons. Correct vocabulary and grammar (e.g., 'wing SAP' unclear; say 'Wing Sap, a spicy Thai noodle dish'). Use linking words (for example, 'for example' or 'also') and avoid repetition.

Example: My favourite food is spicy noodles. For example, I enjoy Wing Sap, a spicy Thai noodle dish, and Jajangmyeon from Korea because I like bold chilli flavours and chewy noodles. I also sometimes eat spicy instant noodles from Korea when I’m short on time.

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

Score: 52.0

Suggestion: Organize the answer: give a clear topic sentence, then specific details and a reason. Fix grammar (use past tense: 'I liked') and clarify facts (Kway teow is rice noodles; avoid uncertain phrases like 'I think yes'). Use a linking word such as 'because' to explain why you liked it.

Example: When I was young, I liked a Thai noodle called kway teow. I liked it because the rice noodles had a smooth, slippery texture and the mild, savory flavour suited my small appetite. Also, my family often cooked it at home, so it felt comforting.

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

Score: 48.0

Suggestion: Give a direct answer and support it with a clear reason. Use correct grammar and linking words. Avoid fragmented sentences and vagueness. For example, start 'Not really' then explain briefly why, using coherent phrases like 'because' or 'so'.

Example: Not really; because Thailand is warm year-round, my diet doesn’t change much. I tend to eat similar meals throughout the year, often choosing spicy or hot dishes because I prefer strong flavours.

Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?

Score: 45.0

Suggestion: Answer directly and coherently: say whether it changed, then explain why with clear reasons and linking words. Use correct tenses and simpler vocabulary rather than unclear phrases. Avoid long, repeated fragments; keep to two or three sentences.

Example: Yes, my taste has changed. I disliked spicy food as a child because my tolerance was low, but as I grew up I learned to enjoy spicier dishes and now I prefer strong, spicy flavours.

Grammar

Incorrect use of articles

× I love spicy noodles such as the wing SAP, the special menu from KFC in Thailand, or maybe Jajangmyeon.

I love spicy noodles such as Wing SAP, the special menu from KFC in Thailand, or maybe Jajangmyeon.

Use of articles before proper names and dish names is unnecessary; 'the wing SAP' should be 'Wing SAP' (proper noun). Also 'the special menu from KFC in Thailand' is acceptable but 'the' is correct there because it refers to a specific menu item; keep capitalization for proper nouns.

Singular and plural issue

× The instant noodle from Korea is one of my favorite too.

Instant noodles from Korea are one of my favorites too.

Countable nouns like 'noodle' used generically should be plural 'noodles'. 'One of my favorite' must be 'one of my favorites'. Subject-verb agreement also requires plural form 'are' to agree with 'instant noodles'.

Past tense issue

× Uh, when I was young, I remember that I love eating and noodle called Kway teow in Thailand.

Uh, when I was young, I remember that I loved eating a noodle called kway teow in Thailand.

Recollection of past events should use past tense: 'love' -> 'loved'. Also singular countable noun needs article: 'a noodle called kway teow'. Using past tense maintains consistent timeframe.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× It means it made from a fish.

It means it is made from fish.

Pronoun 'it' repeated is redundant; passive construction needs auxiliary 'is' and 'from a fish' is odd—use 'from fish' or 'from fish meat'. Removing unnecessary article 'a' makes the sentence natural.

Sentence structure errors

× I think yes.

I think so.

'I think yes' is unnatural in English; use 'I think so' to express agreement or confirmation. This is a collocation issue and improves fluency.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× And the texture is very nice and the flavor is not that spicy, so.

The texture is very nice and the flavor is not very spicy.

Ending with 'so' is incomplete; replace 'not that spicy, so' with 'not very spicy' for clarity. 'Not that spicy' is informal but acceptable; removing trailing 'so' fixes sentence fragment.

Sentence structure errors

× Not really since Thailand is a tropical country so Oh yeah, it's just hot.

Not really, since Thailand is a tropical country, it's just hot.

Sentence has redundant connectors 'since' and 'so' and filler 'Oh yeah'. Combine clauses with commas and remove filler to create a clear sentence: 'Not really, since Thailand is a tropical country; it's just hot.' or use comma as corrected.

Third person singular issue

× So I am. Doesn't change my eating behaviour that much.

So I am. It doesn't change my eating behaviour that much.

Sentence fragment 'Doesn't change...' lacks subject. Add subject 'It' for correct third person singular present 'doesn't change'. Maintain subject-verb agreement.

Verb + -ing form

× I just eating something hot and have a favor.

I just eat something hot and have a flavor for it.

After 'just' use base verb 'eat' not 'eating' unless using continuous form. Also 'have a favor' is incorrect; likely meant 'have a taste for it' or 'prefer spicy flavors'. Suggest: 'I just eat something hot and prefer spicy flavors.'

Sentence structure errors

× Yes, I love when I've got was grow up.

Yes, my tastes changed as I grew up.

Original is ungrammatical. 'I've got was grow up' mixes tenses and auxiliaries. Use a clear past reference: 'as I grew up' or 'when I grew up' and express change of taste: 'my tastes changed'.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× I really love a spicy, which is I'm kind of hate when I was a child.

I really love spicy food now, which I kind of hated when I was a child.

'adjective usage: 'a spicy' is incorrect; use 'spicy food'. Tense inconsistency: 'hate when I was a child' should be past 'hated'. 'I'm kind of' should be 'I kind of' or 'I actually'. Maintain past tense for childhood feelings.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× I think because when I was a child my like spicy troll and it's really low, so I just cannot eat it.

I think when I was a child my liking for spicy food was very low, so I just could not eat it.

Pronoun and noun phrase errors: 'my like spicy troll' is ungrammatical. Use 'my liking for spicy food' or 'I liked spicy food very little'. Tense correction: use past 'could not' for ability in past. 'It's really low' should be 'was very low' to match past timeframe.

Present tense issue

× But when I'm grow up, I realize the their shares of spicy food.

But when I grew up, I realized their share of spicy food.

'I'm grow up' is incorrect; use past 'I grew up'. 'I realize' should be past 'I realized' to match timeframe. 'the their shares of spicy food' is ungrammatical; likely 'there are more varieties of spicy food' or 'I realized there are more spicy dishes available.' Provide alternative: 'But when I grew up, I realized there are more spicy dishes available.'
