What is your favourite food?
Score: 45.0Suggestion: Be direct, use correct grammar and clear words, and avoid repetition. Start with a clear topic sentence naming the dish, follow with 1–2 specific details (flavour, how often you eat it, or why you like it), and use linking words to make it coherent. Correct vocabulary (e.g., ‘fried chicken’ not ‘garage chicken’) and subject-verb agreement are needed.
Example: My favorite food is fried chicken, especially spicy chicken wings. I like them because they are crunchy and full of flavor, though I know they are a little unhealthy, so I only eat them occasionally.
What kind of food did you like when you were young?
Score: 40.0Suggestion: Give a clear topic sentence about childhood preferences and then support it with specific examples and a brief reason. Avoid fillers and unclear phrases. Use correct verb forms and vocabulary (e.g., ‘lollipops’ not ‘lollipop’ singular when generalizing).
Example: When I was young, I loved sweet foods. For example, I often ate ice cream and lollipops, and I disliked vegetables like broccoli because of their bitter taste.
Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?
Score: 50.0Suggestion: Answer directly, then give specific seasonal examples and link them with conjunctions. Use correct nouns and articles (e.g., ‘turkey at Christmas’, ‘ice cream in summer’) and finish the sentence clearly. Avoid vague phrases like ‘chicken cake’ unless you explain what you mean.
Example: Yes, I eat different foods depending on the season. For example, I usually eat turkey at Christmas, enjoy ice cream in the summer, and try warm soups in winter.
Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?
Score: 45.0Suggestion: Start with a clear statement whether your favourites have changed, then explain how and give specific examples. Use correct tense and vocabulary (e.g., ‘I loved sweets’ → past tense; ‘I don’t like sweets as much now’). Mention clear examples of new foods and why you enjoy them. Avoid unclear words (‘lizard’, ‘totito’).
Example: Yes, my tastes have changed. I loved sweets as a child, but now I prefer more savory and diverse cuisines, such as Mexican dishes like tacos and burritos, because I enjoy the bold spices and variety.
× My favorite food is kind of food served by chicken like garage chicken or spicy chicken wings.
✓ My favorite foods are chicken dishes like garlic chicken or spicy chicken wings.
The sentence uses awkward word order and incorrect adjective 'garage' instead of 'garlic'. Also singular 'food' with 'kind of' is unclear. Use plural 'foods' or 'dishes' and correct noun 'garlic'. Replace 'served by chicken' with 'chicken dishes' for clarity. Suggestion: Use 'chicken dishes' + specific examples, and check spelling of 'garlic'.
× It's very yummy but it a little bit unhealthy because they are fast food but they yummy and tasty.
✓ They're very yummy but a little unhealthy because they are fast food, although they are tasty.
Problems: incorrect pronoun/verb agreement and missing verb. 'It a little bit unhealthy' lacks 'is' and shifts subject from singular to plural ('they'). Consistently use plural 'they' for 'chicken dishes'. 'But they yummy' needs 'are'. Suggestion: Keep subject consistent and include correct form of 'to be' (are/is).
× They listen.
✓ They sell fast food at those places.
'They listen' is irrelevant and likely the wrong verb. The intended meaning is unclear. I propose a sentence that fits context: places sell fast food. Suggestion: Use verbs that match meaning (eat, sell, serve).
× When I was young, uh, it very like another auto scheme.
✓ When I was young, uh, I liked another type of food.
The original sentence has incorrect subject and verb forms and contains unintelligible phrases. Use past tense 'liked' for actions in the past and clear nouns. 'It very like another auto scheme' is ungrammatical. Suggestion: Use 'I liked' + specific food types.
× I love sweet, I love eating ice cream lollipop and I hate vegetable and broccoli.
✓ I loved sweets; I loved eating ice cream and lollipops, and I hated vegetables like broccoli.
Tense inconsistency: speaking about childhood requires past tense 'loved'/'hated'. Use plural forms 'sweets', 'lollipops', 'vegetables'. Also separate items with commas and use 'like' for examples. Suggestion: Use past tense and plural nouns when talking about general items.
× Uh, it's quite normal for a kid, sweet and head vegetable.
✓ Uh, it's quite normal for a kid to like sweets and dislike vegetables.
This sentence is ungrammatical and contains 'head vegetable' which makes no sense. Use infinitive 'to like' and proper verbs 'like'/'dislike' to express preferences. Suggestion: Keep structure 'It's normal for a kid to ...'.
× Like I will eat Turkey on the Christmas Day, so ice cream for summer and I will add chicken cake for.
✓ For example, I eat turkey on Christmas Day, I eat ice cream in summer, and I sometimes eat chicken cake.
Mixing future 'will' and general habits. When describing habitual actions, use present simple 'eat'. 'Chicken cake for' is incomplete; 'sometimes eat chicken cake' clarifies. Use capitalization: 'turkey' should be lowercase unless part of holiday name. Suggestion: Use present simple for habits and complete each item clearly.
× When I was a child I love eating sweet, but when I get older I think sweet enough lizard anymore so I try to eat more creative food like Mexican food like totito or tortilla or burrito.
✓ When I was a child I loved eating sweets, but as I got older I didn't want sweets anymore, so I tried to eat more creative foods like Mexican dishes such as tostito, tortilla, or burrito.
Tense errors: talking about past requires past tense 'loved', 'got', 'didn't want', 'tried'. Many words are misspelled or incorrect ('lizard' for 'like' or 'anymore', 'totito' unclear). Use plural 'foods' and correct item names. Also ensure consistency in tense for past narrative. Suggestion: Use past tense throughout when describing childhood changes and check spelling of food names.
× It's very nice to try new thing.
✓ It's very nice to try new things.
Use plural 'things' after 'new'. The base form 'thing' is unnatural here. Keep present simple to express general statement. Suggestion: Use plural nouns for general statements: 'new things'.
