Part 1

What is your favourite food?

Score: 72.0

Suggestion: Give a slightly longer, more natural answer with a brief reason or detail. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one supporting detail using a linking word or phrase (e.g., "because", "as", "for example"). Keep it under five sentences.

Example: My favourite food is pizza because I love the combination of a crispy crust and melted cheese. For example, I often order a Margherita with fresh basil when I want something simple and comforting.

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

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: Correct grammar (past tense) and be more specific rather than saying "every type." Use a topic sentence in past tense, then give one or two specific examples and a brief reason. Use linking words like "for example" or "because."

Example: When I was a child, I liked meat a lot because my family often cooked it. For example, I enjoyed grilled chicken and beef stew, especially when we had family gatherings.

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

Score: 68.0

Suggestion: Be more personal and natural: answer for yourself rather than general advice. Use linking words to contrast seasons (e.g., "in summer... whereas in winter..."). Provide a specific example of seasonal foods you eat.

Example: Yes, I eat different foods at different times of the year: in summer I often eat ice cream and fresh salads, whereas in winter I prefer warm soups and stews to stay warm.

Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: Use clearer timeline phrases and correct small grammar points. Start with a topic sentence about the change, then give a specific example and a brief reason for the change. Keep it concise and coherent using linking words like "for example" or "now".

Example: Yes, my favourite food has changed over the years. For example, when I was young I liked pizza, but now I prefer meatballs because I enjoy the stronger flavours and homemade recipes.

Grammar

Present tense issue

× When I was child, my favorite type of food is meat.

When I was a child, my favorite type of food was meat.

The sentence mixes past time ('When I was a child') with present tense verb 'is'. Use past tense 'was' to match the time frame. Also add the article 'a' before 'child'. Suggestion: keep tense consistent by using past tense for events in childhood and include necessary articles.

Singular and plural issue

× Every type of meat was my favorite.

Every type of meat was my favorite.

This sentence is grammatically acceptable, but it is slightly awkward. No singular/plural correction required. If intended meaning is 'All kinds of meat were my favorites,' you can say 'All kinds of meat were my favorites.' The original uses 'was' which can be kept for emphasis, but matching plural 'kinds' with 'were' is clearer.

Present tense issue

× For example, in summer you can eat ice cream, but in winter it is not recommended to eat ice cream.

For example, in summer you can eat ice cream, but in winter it is not recommended to eat it.

Repeating 'ice cream' is unnecessary; using the pronoun 'it' improves cohesion. The tense/modal usage is acceptable ('can' and 'is not recommended'). Suggestion: avoid repetition by using appropriate pronouns.

Present tense issue

× Yes, it has changed a lot in years.

Yes, it has changed a lot over the years.

The phrase 'in years' is incorrect here; the idiomatic expression is 'over the years' to indicate change across time. The present perfect 'has changed' is correct to describe a change from the past to now.

Singular and plural issue

× but now my favorite food is meatball.

but now my favorite food is meatballs.

'Meatball' singular refers to one item; when speaking generally about a type of food, use the plural 'meatballs' or say 'the meatball' with an article in a specific context. Also ensure consistency with present tense 'is' which is correct here.
