Part 1

What is your favourite food?

Score: 88.0

Suggestion: Be careful with small errors and word choice: say 'salmon' not 'rose salmon' unless you mean 'raw salmon' or 'salmon roe'. Combine ideas into two clear sentences and avoid redundancy ('the texture and the taste' → be more specific). Also use a linking phrase to add frequency.

Example: I really like Japanese sushi, especially nigiri with fresh salmon because I enjoy the delicate texture and subtle flavor. I usually eat it once or twice a week, often when I go out with friends or order it at home.

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

Score: 72.0

Suggestion: Improve grammar and clarity: use past tense consistently and correct phrases (e.g., 'kept me from feeling hungry quickly' or 'kept me full longer'). Use one compound sentence with a linking word and avoid vague pronouns. Provide a brief specific example of when you ate them.

Example: When I was younger, I loved fried noodles and fried rice because they kept me full longer after school. For example, my parents would often make fried rice with egg and vegetables for an afternoon snack.

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

Score: 82.0

Suggestion: Fix small grammar issues and use appropriate linking: 'In contrast' is fine but ensure subject-verb agreement ('that make me' → 'that makes me'). You can add a brief specific example to enrich content (e.g., name of a soup or salad).

Example: Yes. In summer I usually eat cold dishes like soba noodles with dipping sauce or fresh salads, while in winter I prefer warming soups such as chicken soup or miso because that makes me feel more comfortable and cozy.

Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?

Score: 80.0

Suggestion: Maintain consistent tense and use clearer linking words ('over the years'). Correct present/past preference ('As a child, I preferred'), and give a brief reason or example of when you tried international dishes to make it more specific.

Example: Yes, my tastes have changed over the years because I've tried many different cuisines. As a child I preferred local dishes like fried noodles, but now I enjoy international foods such as spaghetti and pho, especially after travelling or eating at restaurants with friends.

Grammar

Incorrect use of prepositions

× My favorite food is Japanese sushi, especially rice topped with rose salmon because I love the texture and the taste.

My favorite food is Japanese sushi, especially rice topped with raw salmon, because I love the texture and the taste.

The original sentence used 'rose salmon', which is incorrect; the correct collocation is 'raw salmon' or 'salmon roe' depending on meaning. This is a vocabulary/preposition-like usage error; replacing 'rose' with 'raw' corrects the word choice and makes the sentence natural. Also add a comma before 'because' to separate clauses.

Past tense issue

× When I was younger I loved fried noodles or fried rice which kept me not feeling hungry quickly and I usually ask them after school.

When I was younger, I loved fried noodles or fried rice because they kept me from getting hungry quickly, and I usually bought them after school.

Several tense and verb-choice problems: 'kept me not feeling hungry quickly' is awkward and ungrammatical; use 'kept me from getting hungry quickly'. 'I usually ask them' is present tense and wrong verb; past context requires past tense 'I usually bought them'. Added commas for clarity and natural phrasing.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× Yes, In summer I usually eat cold dishes such as cold noodles or salads.

Yes, in summer I usually eat cold dishes such as cold noodles or salads.

Capitalization and preposition issue: 'In' after a comma should be lowercase 'in'. The preposition 'in summer' is correct but capitalization must be fixed. No tense problem.

Present tense issue

× In contrast, I prefer warming soups in winter since that make me feel more comfortable.

In contrast, I prefer warming soups in winter since that makes me feel more comfortable.

Subject-verb agreement and present tense: 'that make' is incorrect because the singular demonstrative 'that' requires 'makes'. Change to 'makes' to agree with the singular subject.

Present tense issue

× Yes, it has changed over years because I've tried many different cuisines.

Yes, it has changed over the years because I've tried many different cuisines.

Missing article 'the' before 'years': the correct phrase is 'over the years' to indicate a period of time up to now. Tense is fine (present perfect). Added 'the' for natural English.

Present tense issue

× As a child, I prefer local food like fried noodles or fried rice, but now I enjoy international dishes like spaghetti or pho.

As a child, I preferred local food like fried noodles or fried rice, but now I enjoy international dishes like spaghetti or pho.

Tense mismatch: the clause 'As a child' refers to the past, so the verb should be past tense 'preferred' rather than present 'prefer'. 'Now I enjoy' is correct present tense for current preference.
