When I was young, I absolutely loved the candy. My mother once told me that when I was a baby, if my grandmother made a crinkling sound with a plastic candy wrapper, I would immediately crawl toward it.
Examiner
Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?

Examiner
Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?

Yes, it has changed quite a bit. When I was a child I really liked sugar cane. Back then it was usually sold as a whole stock, which was quite hard to chew. But nowadays it's often cut into small pieces so it's much easier and more convenient to eat.
What is your favourite food?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: 答案自然且有个人细节,但句子有时态和语法小错误(如“helped me relaxed”应为“helps me relax”),有部分冗长,可更简洁并使用连接词提升连贯性。可控制在3-4句并用更准确的时态和更丰富的词汇描述喜好和原因。
Example: I love chocolate, especially Italian chocolate, because I have a sweet tooth. When I'm stressed or nervous, I usually eat something sweet, and chocolate helps me relax and improves my mood. Its rich, creamy texture and deep cocoa flavor make it my top comfort food.
What kind of food did you like when you were young?
Score: 85.0Suggestion: 回答内容具体、生动,包含有趣的个人经历。但可更直接回应“kind of food”并略微精简叙述,使用连接词使句子更紧凑,避免过多枝节。注意时态一致性。
Example: As a child, I loved candy, especially brightly colored sweets. In fact, my mother says that as a baby I would crawl straight toward the sound of a crinkling candy wrapper, which shows how much I loved sugary treats.
Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: 回答直接但有信息缺失(缺少传统甜点名称),句子可更流畅并给出具体例子與比较词。应使用连接词(for example, also)并补充该甜点名称或充分描述以增加具体性。避免断句或遗漏。
Example: Yes. In summer I prefer light, refreshing desserts because of the heat; for example, in my hometown Zhangzhou we eat a traditional dessert called 'four-fruit soup', which mixes four kinds of fruit in a sweet, chilled broth. In winter I tend to choose warm, hearty dishes instead.
Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?
Score: 80.0Suggestion: 回答结构清晰,比较了过去与现在并给出原因,但个别表达可更自然(如“whole stock”可改为“whole stalk”),并使用连接词增强衔接。可以再补充个人喜好变化的原因或现状感受。
Example: Yes, it has changed. As a child I loved chewing sugar cane, which was sold as a whole stalk and hard to bite. Now it's usually cut into small pieces, so it's easier to eat, and I tend to prefer softer sweets like chocolate instead.
× the chocolate really helped me relaxed and lift my mood.
✓ the chocolate really helped me relax and lift my mood.
原句中使用了“helped me relaxed”,這裡“help”作使役動詞或助動性動詞時,後面應接動詞原形(不加 -ed)。正確用法是“help someone do something”或“help someone to do something”。建議記住常見使役動詞(help, make, let)的用法,後面接原形動詞或“to”+動詞原形。
× I absolutely loved the candy.
✓ I absolutely loved candy.
原句中使用不定心概念時可用不可數名詞“candy”表示“糖果(作為一類食品)”。加上定冠詞或單數可具體指一種糖果,但此處說一般喜好,改為不可數更自然。建議區分表示總體類別時用不可數;表示具體個體時用可數形式。
× there is a traditional summer dessert called which is made of four kinds of fruits in a sweet soup.
✓ there is a traditional summer dessert called [name] which is made of four kinds of fruit in a sweet soup.
原句有結構缺失:'called' 後應接名稱,且“kinds of fruits”中“fruit”作總稱時通常用不可數或復數形式“kinds of fruit”。此外插入定語從句時逗號或連詞位置需正確。建議補上甜點名稱或重構為“called X, which is made of four kinds of fruit in a sweet soup.”
× it was usually sold as a whole stock, which was quite hard to chew.
✓ it was usually sold as a whole stalk, which was quite hard to chew.
原句使用“stock”錯誤,蔗類的枝幹應為“stalk”(莖)。這是詞彙選擇錯誤屬於代詞/詞彙用法範疇(此處按題單最接近的是代詞/代名詞錯誤類)。建議查詞典確認植物相關名詞用法;“a whole stalk”表示整根甘蔗。
× if my grandmother made a crinkling sound with a plastic candy wrapper, I would immediately crawl toward it.
✓ if my grandmother made a crinkling sound with a plastic candy wrapper, I would immediately crawl towards it.
英式英語中常用“towards”,美式用“toward”。原句用“toward”並非絕對錯誤,但若需要一致性可改為“towards”。此處按動名詞/介詞搭配問題歸類為動詞 + -ing 類別,建議根據英式或美式拼寫風格統一介詞形式。
