What is your favourite food?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: 回答は明確で内容も良いですが、発音の不自然な繰り返し("perfect, uh, perfect")や文の最後が不完全なのが減点の原因です。また、文の長さがやや長く語順や接続詞で整理するとより自然になります。具体的には「トピック文→支持理由1→支持理由2→結論」の構成を意識し、フィラー(uh)を減らし、語彙を一部簡潔にすると良いです。
Example: My favourite food is pasta with tomato sauce. I especially enjoy it because the combination of tomato, cheese and basil creates a balanced, aromatic and savory flavour. I often choose it when I want a comforting and simple meal.
What kind of food did you like when you were young?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: 内容は明瞭で具体例も含まれていますが、時制の一致(過去形)や冠詞の誤り("a rewards")、フィラーの使用が問題です。過去の習慣を表すときは過去形を一貫して使い、短く論理的に伝えてください。また「なぜそれが好きだったか」を一文で補足すると深みが出ます。
Example: When I was young, I loved sweet foods like chocolate and candy. My parents often rewarded me with sweets when I did well on tests, which motivated me to study harder.
Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?
Score: 58.0Suggestion: 意味は伝わりますが、語彙や文法のミス("seasonary", "in nowadays", 冗長な表現)が多く、構成も不自然です。簡潔なトピック文の後に1〜2の具体例を加える形に直してください。季節による食習慣の理由(価格、旬の食材、好み)を挙げると良いです。

Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: 主張は明確ですが、文法の誤り("haven't"→"hasn't" or use past tense contextually)、複数一致("reminds"→"remind")と語彙の選択で若干の改善が必要です。理由を一つに絞って具体的な例(特定の料理や場面)を加えると印象が良くなります。
Example: No, my favourite food hasn't changed since I was a child. I still love my mum's home-cooked meals, especially her chicken soup, because they are comforting and remind me of family gatherings.
× I really like the combination of cheese, tomato and basil together because it creates a perfect, uh, perfect balanced, aromatic and savory flavor and.
✓ I really like the combination of cheese, tomato, and basil because it creates a perfectly balanced, aromatic, and savory flavor.
There is incorrect use of adjective/adverb forms and extra conjunctions. 'Perfect balanced' should be 'perfectly balanced' because balanced is an adjective describing flavor and needs the adverb 'perfectly' to modify it. 'Together' is redundant after 'combination' and the final 'and' is extraneous. Add a serial comma for clarity and remove fillers. Suggestion: use adverbs to modify adjectives and avoid redundant words.
× When I was young, I really like to eat, uh, sweet things like chocolate and candy.
✓ When I was young, I really liked to eat sweet things like chocolate and candy.
The sentence sets a past time frame 'When I was young' so the verb should be in past tense: 'liked' not 'like'. Also remove filler 'uh' and unnecessary comma. Suggestion: match verb tense to the time expression.
× My parents often gave me the sweet candies as a rewards for my improvements in the test and it gave me a lot of encouragement.
✓ My parents often gave me sweet candies as a reward for my improvements on tests, and it gave me a lot of encouragement.
Errors: 'the sweet candies' uses an unnecessary definite article; 'a rewards' mixes singular article with plural noun — use 'a reward' or 'rewards'. 'Improvements in the test' is awkward; use 'improvements on tests' or 'in tests'. Also add comma before 'and' for clarity. Suggestion: ensure agreement between articles and count nouns and choose appropriate preposition for 'improvements'.
× Honestly, I don't change the food that I eat every day as a seasonary because I think there are a lot, quite lots of foods in nowadays and I don't.
✓ Honestly, I don't change the food that I eat every day with the seasons because I think there are many foods nowadays and I don't need to.
Multiple issues: 'seasonary' is incorrect — use 'with the seasons' or 'seasonally'. 'There are a lot, quite lots of foods in nowadays' is ungrammatical: use 'there are many foods nowadays'. The final fragment 'and I don't.' is incomplete; clarify 'and I don't need to.' Suggestion: use correct adverbial phrase for seasonal changes, 'many' for countable plural, and complete clauses.
× No, my taste haven't changed since I was a child.
✓ No, my taste hasn't changed since I was a child.
Subject 'my taste' is singular so the auxiliary verb must be 'has' not 'have'. 'Haven't' is incorrect for third-person singular. Suggestion: ensure auxiliary verbs agree with singular/plural subjects in present perfect.
× I still love my mom's home cooked meal and prefer eating at home rather than eating out because they are comforting and reminds me of my childhood.
✓ I still love my mom's home-cooked meals and prefer eating at home rather than eating out because they are comforting and remind me of my childhood.
Problems: 'home cooked' should be hyphenated as 'home-cooked' when used as a compound adjective. 'Meal' should be plural 'meals' to match 'they' later; or change 'they' to 'it'. Also 'reminds' must agree with plural 'they' so use 'remind'. Suggestion: ensure pronoun reference and number agreement and hyphenate compound adjectives.
