Part 1

What is your favourite food?

Score: 56.0

Suggestion: Be more concise and correct grammar; start with a clear topic sentence, avoid filler and incomplete thoughts, and expand with one specific detail using a linking word. Also correct word choice (e.g., “a bowl of chicken noodles”) and punctuation. Keep it within 2–4 sentences.

Example: My favourite food is a bowl of chicken noodles because the warm broth and tender chicken are comforting. For example, I often have it on cold evenings as it helps me relax and feel nourished.

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

Score: 45.0

Suggestion: Answer directly with a clear topic sentence, avoid hesitations and unclear fragments. Use linking words to add a specific detail or memory. Fix awkward phrases (e.g., “I loved noodles, especially soft noodles with crispy chicken”) and remove irrelevant or unclear remarks.

Example: When I was young, I loved noodles, especially soft noodles served with crispy chicken. For example, my mother used to make this dish every Sunday, which made it feel special.

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

Score: 68.0

Suggestion: This answer is clear but brief; make it slightly more natural by using a topic sentence and one linking phrase to give a reason or specific example. Vary vocabulary (e.g., use “seasonally” or “in winter”) and avoid repetition like “so yeah.”

Example: Yes. In summer I usually eat more fresh fruits and drink juices because I want something light and refreshing, while in winter I prefer hearty soups and grilled meats to keep warm.

Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?

Score: 42.0

Suggestion: Provide a clear topic sentence stating whether it changed, correct tense and grammar, and give a specific example of what you eat now. Use linking words (e.g., “however” or “now”) to show contrast and avoid fragmented sentences.

Example: Yes, it has changed. Although I loved noodles as a child, now I enjoy a wider range of cuisines, especially Chinese and Thai food; for instance, I often choose spicy Thai dishes when dining out.

Grammar

Article errors

× So my ultimate comfort food is warm ball of chicken noodles.

✓ So my ultimate comfort food is a warm bowl of chicken noodles.

The sentence is missing the indefinite article 'a' before the singular count noun and has a word choice error ('ball' -> 'bowl'). Use 'a' with singular, countable nouns. Also correct 'ball' to 'bowl' to convey the intended meaning. Suggestion: Use 'a' before singular count nouns and check word choice for similar-sounding words.

Sentence structure errors

× The warm broth, tender chicken and noodles really make me happy.

✓ The warm broth, tender chicken, and noodles really make me happy.

This sentence is grammatically correct in meaning but missing the Oxford comma for clarity in a list. Adding a comma before 'and' improves readability. Suggestion: Use commas to separate list items consistently.

Sentence structure errors

× Other than I love Donuts and.

✓ I also love donuts.

Original is fragmented and incorrectly structured. 'Other than' is not used correctly here, and the sentence ends abruptly. Use 'I also love donuts' to add information smoothly. Suggestion: Use 'also' or 'besides' and avoid sentence fragments.

Sentence structure errors

× The food I loved that was noodles, of course, especially the soft, tender noodles with, uh, crispy chicken.

✓ The food I loved was noodles, of course, especially the soft, tender noodles with crispy chicken.

The phrase 'that was' is unnecessary and makes the sentence awkward. Remove 'that' to form a clear subject-predicate structure. Also remove filler 'uh' in written form. Suggestion: Keep the core clause 'The food I loved was noodles' and add details after a comma.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× I love that ball.

✓ I love that bowl.

Pronoun use isn't the issue; original had wrong noun 'ball' instead of 'bowl'. This is a lexical error. Replace with the correct noun to match earlier mention. Suggestion: Ensure consistency in referents and correct similar-sounding words.

Sentence structure errors

× It seems like I haven't to me.

✓ It seems like I haven't had it in a long time.

Original is incomplete and ungrammatical. Use a full clause with a past participle 'had' and an object to express the idea. Suggestion: Complete the thought with appropriate verb form and object.

Present tense issue

× Yeah, in summer I prefer fruits and juices, and in winters I prefer soups and steaks and meat.

✓ Yeah, in summer I prefer fruits and juices, and in winter I prefer soups, steaks, and other meats.

Use singular 'winter' as a season reference and parallel structure. Also 'meat' is vague; 'other meats' or specific types is clearer. Suggestion: Use consistent singular/plural for seasons and parallel list structure.

Past tense issue

× Yeah, when I was a child, I love noodles a lot, but now I can eat.

✓ Yeah, when I was a child, I loved noodles a lot, but now I can eat them less often.

The time reference 'when I was a child' requires past tense 'loved', not present 'love'. The second clause was incomplete; specify change with 'them' and an adverb. Suggestion: Match verb tense to time expressions and complete comparative statements.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× They see Chinese and Thai food, I love Thai food.

✓ These days I eat Chinese and Thai food; I especially love Thai food.

Original 'They see' is ungrammatical and likely a pronunciation-to-text error. Replace with 'These days I eat' to express current habit. Use semicolon or split into two sentences for clarity. Suggestion: Use correct phrase for current habits and ensure pronoun-verb agreement.

Present tense issue

× So yeah, it's change a bit.

✓ So yeah, it's changed a bit.

After 'it's' meaning 'it has', the past participle 'changed' is required. 'Change' is base form and incorrect here. Suggestion: Use present perfect 'it's changed' to indicate a change over time.
