What is your favourite food?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: Improve grammatical accuracy and fluency: remove redundant words, fix articles and verb forms, and use one or two linking phrases. Also keep answer within 3–4 clear sentences and add a brief specific detail (e.g., favorite toppings or a memorable pizza you tried).
Example: My favourite food is pizza because it tastes delicious and is very versatile. For example, I enjoy trying different toppings like mushrooms and prosciutto, and I always look for local pizza styles when I travel. Last year in Naples I tried a simple Margherita that was the best I’d ever had.
What kind of food did you like when you were young?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Correct grammar (past tense, subject-verb agreement) and avoid repetition. Offer a concise topic sentence then one specific supporting detail explaining why you liked sweets and perhaps contrast with now.
Example: When I was young I loved sweets such as candies and puddings. My parents often rewarded me with treats when I did well at school, so sugary snacks became a special celebration.
Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: Make sentences grammatically consistent and connect ideas smoothly using linking words. Use present simple for routines and give one clear specific example of seasonal food choices and why.
Example: Yes, I do. Eating seasonal food is healthier and tastier, so in winter I usually eat hearty dishes like bean stew and soups, while in summer I prefer light meals such as fresh salads with tomatoes and cucumbers.
Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?

Example: Yes, it has changed a lot. As a child I often ate fast food and sweets, but now I follow a healthier diet, choosing whole grains, vegetables and grilled fish because I want to stay fit and have more energy.
× My favorite food is pizza, which is Italian food because it's tastes very delicious and it is very versatile for me because you can add a lot of toppings.
✓ My favorite food is pizza, which is Italian, because it tastes very delicious and is very versatile for me since you can add a lot of toppings.
The sentence contained 'it's tastes' which mixes a contraction with a verb; correct form is 'it tastes'. Also 'which is Italian food' is wordy; 'which is Italian' is more natural. Use 'since' or 'because' once to avoid redundancy. Remove the extra 'it' before 'is very versatile'. Suggestions: remove contractions overlap ('it's tastes'), keep clauses concise and ensure subject-verb agreement ('it tastes').
× I I'm trying to eat different kinds of pizza in different countries.
✓ I'm trying to eat different kinds of pizza in different countries.
There is a duplicated subject 'I I'm' causing a structure error. Remove the extra 'I'. Maintain present progressive 'I'm trying' to indicate ongoing intent. Ensure no duplicated words appear.
× When I was a child I was always eating sweet things like candies or puddings.
✓ When I was a child I always ate sweet things like candies or puddings.
Using 'was always eating' is grammatically possible but awkward; simple past 'I always ate' is more natural for habitual past actions. Use simple past for repeated past habits.
× My parents was always award rewarding me with sweet things especially when I get high score from my lessons from my exams.
✓ My parents were always rewarding me with sweet things, especially when I got high scores on my exams.
Subjects 'My parents' is plural so use 'were' rather than 'was'. 'Award rewarding' is redundant; use 'rewarding'. 'When I get' should be past tense 'when I got' for past context. Use plural 'scores' and preposition 'on' with 'exams'. Suggestions: match verb tense to past context and ensure plural agreement.
× Yes, I tried to do that.
✓ Yes, I try to do that.
Context asks about present habit; original 'I tried' (past) conflicts with following sentences about current practice. Use present tense 'I try' or 'I have tried' if referring to past experience. Suggest using present simple for routines: 'I try to do that'.
× Because when you eat something in its season, it's more healthy and it's more delicious.
✓ When you eat something in its season, it is healthier and more delicious.
Use comparative adjective 'healthier' not adverb 'more healthy'. Avoid starting sentences with 'Because' as a fragment; combine clauses. Use 'it is' rather than contraction for clarity. Suggestions: use comparative forms and integrate dependent clauses properly.
× So for example, I'm trying to eat beans in winter and I'm eating soup, but in summer I'm eating salad most of the time.
✓ For example, I try to eat beans in winter and drink soup, but in summer I eat salad most of the time.
Mixed progressive tenses create inconsistency. For general habits use simple present: 'I try to eat beans' and 'I eat soup' or 'have soup' (not 'drink soup'). 'I'm eating' suggests an action happening now; use 'I eat' for habitual actions. Suggest consistent tense for routines.
× Yes, absolutely. It changed a lot.
✓ Yes, absolutely. It has changed a lot.
Talking about change from childhood to now uses present perfect 'has changed' to link past to present. 'It changed' (simple past) is acceptable but present perfect emphasizes ongoing relevance. Suggest using present perfect when discussing life changes that affect present.
× When I was a child I was always eating fast food candies but now I'm trying to do a healthy diet because of my age.
✓ When I was a child I always ate fast food and candies, but now I'm trying to follow a healthy diet because of my age.
Use simple past 'I always ate' for habitual past actions. 'Fast food candies' is unclear; separate items with 'and'. 'Trying to do a healthy diet' is unidiomatic; use 'try to follow a healthy diet' or 'try to eat healthily'. 'Because of my age' is acceptable but could be 'because of my age now' for clarity. Suggestions: use natural collocations and correct tense for habits.
