Well, there are many dishes that I like about. One of my favorite food is salmon sushi. Umm people might not like salmon because it's like Jelly like but in fact it have like many nutrients and it fit for people to try to load a fat like me.

Examiner

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

Candidate

Definitely past three. I have liked uh since I was young and one of my favorite kind of pasty is cake. It sub sweet and creamy. Umm. That's the reason why I cannot lose my weight yet because I keep still eating it even though.

Examiner

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

Candidate

Gas, especially in Thailand. We basically eat different food depending on season as well. Some tropical fruit are only available for a few months. For examples, mangoes are available on April which is like.

Examiner

Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?

Candidate

I don't think my favorite food had changed. I still love pastry. I often eat it as a reward when I do something well, which is probably why I can find it hard to lose weight.

Part 1

What is your favourite food?

Score: 54.0

Suggestion: Be more concise and grammatical. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons using linking words. Avoid filler words (um, like) and correct grammar (e.g., 'one of my favourite foods is salmon sushi', 'it has', 'jelly-like').

Example: My favourite food is salmon sushi. I enjoy it because the salmon is fresh and rich in healthy omega-3 fats, which are good for my health. Moreover, the combination of rice and seafood feels light yet satisfying, so I often choose it when I want a nutritious meal.

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

Score: 47.0

Suggestion: Give a clear direct answer and use correct tense and vocabulary. Start with a topic sentence (e.g., 'When I was young I liked...'), then add a specific detail and reason using linking words. Correct word choice: 'pastry' not 'past', 'sub' -> 'quite' or 'very'. Avoid repetition and fillers.

Example: When I was young I loved sweet pastries, especially cake. The cakes were very sweet and creamy, and I used to have them as a treat after school, which is probably why I still find it hard to lose weight.

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

Score: 66.0

Suggestion: Provide a clear topic sentence and complete the example. Use linking words (for example, because) and correct minor errors ('in Thailand' not 'especially in Thailand'; 'in April'). Be specific about seasonal foods and explain why seasons affect availability.

Example: Yes, in Thailand we often eat different foods depending on the season. For example, many tropical fruits are seasonal: mangoes are typically available in April, while durian appears later in the year, so people eat those fruits only when they are fresh.

Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?

Score: 68.0

Suggestion: Use present perfect / simple consistently: say 'my favourite food has not changed' or 'hasn't changed since I was a child.' Start with a clear topic sentence, then give a specific habit and a short reason. Avoid extra words like 'I can find it'.

Example: No, my favourite food hasn't changed since I was a child; I still love pastries. I usually treat myself to a pastry as a reward after achieving something, which explains why it's hard for me to lose weight.

Grammar

There be issue

× Well, there are many dishes that I like about.

Well, there are many dishes that I like.

Unnecessary preposition 'about' after 'like' creates an incorrect construction with 'there are'. The phrase 'there are many dishes that I like' correctly uses 'there are' to introduce existence and a relative clause to specify which dishes. Remove 'about'.

Singular and plural issue

× One of my favorite food is salmon sushi.

One of my favorite foods is salmon sushi.

The phrase 'one of my favorite' must be followed by a plural noun ('foods') because it selects one item from a group. Also 'is' remains correct for the singular subject 'One'.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× Umm people might not like salmon because it's like Jelly like but in fact it have like many nutrients and it fit for people to try to load a fat like me.

Umm, people might not like salmon because it's jelly-like, but in fact it has many nutrients and is suitable for people to try, even someone with a lot of fat like me.

Multiple problems: 'Jelly like' should be hyphenated as 'jelly-like' (compound adjective). 'have' should be 'has' for subject-verb agreement with 'it' (third person singular). 'fit for' is awkward; 'suitable for' or 'is suitable for people to try' is correct. 'to try to load a fat like me' is ungrammatical and unclear; rephrased to 'even someone with a lot of fat like me'. Also remove filler 'like' where unnecessary. These corrections address adjective usage, subject-verb agreement, and clarity.

Past tense issue

× Definitely past three.

Definitely pastries (or I liked pastries most).

'Definitely past three' is unintelligible; likely intended 'pastries' or 'past three' is incorrect tense/word choice. If the student meant a category, 'I definitely liked pastries' or simply 'pastries' fits the question. Use past tense 'liked' when referring to childhood preferences if needed.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× I have liked uh since I was young and one of my favorite kind of pasty is cake.

I have liked them since I was young, and one of my favorite kinds of pastry is cake.

Pronoun reference missing: 'liked uh' should specify what was liked (them = pastries). 'One of my favorite kind' must be 'one of my favorite kinds' (plural after 'one of'). 'pasty' should be 'pastry'. Also 'I have liked them since I was young' uses present perfect to indicate continuous preference; ensure clear object.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× It sub sweet and creamy.

It is subtly sweet and creamy. (Or 'They are sweet and creamy.' if referring to pastries.)

'sub' is likely a typo for 'subtly' or 'a bit'; needs adjective/adverb correction. If referring to 'pastry(s)', use plural 'They are sweet and creamy.' If commenting on cake specifically: 'It is sweet and creamy.' Use 'sweet' as adjective and 'creamy' as adjective; include 'is' or 'are' for verb.

Present tense issue

× Umm. That's the reason why I cannot lose my weight yet because I keep still eating it even though.

Umm. That's why I cannot lose weight yet, because I keep eating it.

Redundant words: 'That's the reason why' can be streamlined to 'That's why'. 'lose my weight' is more naturally 'lose weight'. 'keep still eating' is ungrammatical; use 'keep eating' or 'am still eating'. 'even though' is incomplete without a clause, so remove it. These changes fix tense/word choice and sentence structure.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× Gas, especially in Thailand.

Yes, especially in Thailand,

'Gas' is incorrect and likely a mishearing of 'Yes'. Use 'Yes' as a response. Also move 'especially in Thailand' to the main clause. This corrects pronoun/word misuse and yields a coherent sentence.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× We basically eat different food depending on season as well.

We basically eat different food depending on the season as well.

Missing definite article 'the' before 'season'. Use 'the season' to refer to the natural division of the year. Also 'different food' is acceptable, though 'different foods' may be better if plural.

Singular and plural issue

× Some tropical fruit are only available for a few months.

Some tropical fruits are only available for a few months.

'fruit' can be plural but when speaking of multiple kinds/items use 'fruits'. Subject-verb agreement 'fruits are' is correct.

Sentence structure errors

× For examples, mangoes are available on April which is like.

For example, mangoes are available in April.

Use 'For example' (singular) not 'For examples'. Preposition for months is 'in April' not 'on April'. The trailing 'which is like' is an unfinished filler and should be removed. This fixes sentence structure and preposition use.

Past tense issue

× I don't think my favorite food had changed.

I don't think my favorite food has changed.

Use present perfect 'has changed' with 'I don't think' to indicate a change up to now. 'Had changed' is past perfect and implies a reference point in the past, which is not present here.

Singular and plural issue

× I still love pastry.

I still love pastry. (Or better: 'I still love pastries' or 'I still love pastry.' depending on meaning)

'Pastry' can be uncountable when referring to the category, but in conversational English 'pastries' is more natural when speaking about items. Provide either form but prefer 'pastries' for clarity.

Present tense issue

× I often eat it as a reward when I do something well, which is probably why I can find it hard to lose weight.

I often eat it as a reward when I do something well, which is probably why I find it hard to lose weight.

Replace 'can find it hard' with 'find it hard' to sound natural; both are grammatical but 'find it hard' is more direct. Tense remains present to indicate habitual action.
