Part 1

Examiner

What is your favourite food?

Candidate

My favorite food is called sinigang. It's a main dish in the Philippines and it's really good. It's good to eat whenever it's raining or you're with your family. It's a really savory food and. Yeah.

Examiner

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

Candidate

When I was young, I used to love very sweet treats like candies, cake or chocolate. I was very, very naughty kid and I would sneak into my mom's room. I would get her candies.

Examiner

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

Candidate

I would say yes because I get sick pretty easily, so I would try to eat different things on different times because I also love trying different kind of food. It's just exciting for me and really intriguing to try different food in different areas.

Examiner

Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?

Candidate

I didn't guess as I grow up I get mature and also choose my food on my own and just found new favorite but I never change my favorite food. I always loved Cindy Gang. I never really hated it so I'd say.

Part 1

What is your favourite food?

Score: 72.0

Suggestion: Be more concise and structured: start with a clear topic sentence naming the food, then give two specific supporting details (taste and when/how you eat it). Avoid filler words and sentence fragments. Use linking words (for example, because, so) to connect ideas.

Example: My favourite food is sinigang, a sour tamarind-based soup from the Philippines. I like it because the broth is savory and refreshing, and it warms me up when it rains. I often eat it with my family on weekends, so it reminds me of home and comfort.

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

Score: 78.0

Suggestion: Keep the answer focused and use one or two supporting details with clear linking words. Avoid unnecessary repetition and tense errors. Start with a topic sentence and follow with reasons or a short anecdote linked by ‘because’ or ‘so’.

Example: When I was young I loved sweet treats such as candies, cake and chocolate. Because I loved them so much, I would sometimes sneak into my mother’s room to take candies, which was a small childhood habit I later stopped.

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

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: Make the structure clearer: give a direct yes/no topic sentence, then two clear reasons linked logically. Avoid repetition and phrasing mistakes. Use specific examples of seasonal foods or occasions to show variety.

Example: Yes, I do. I change my diet because I tend to get cold in winter, so I eat more soups and hot dishes then. Also, I enjoy trying regional specialties when I travel during holidays, such as fresh seafood in coastal areas or warm stews in colder regions.

Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: Clarify the answer and correct grammatical errors. Start with a clear direct response (No, it hasn't or Yes, it has), then explain why with two concise reasons, using correct tense and linking words. Also ensure the food name is pronounced/spelled consistently (sinigang).

Example: No, my favourite food has not changed. As I grew up I discovered many new dishes, but I still love sinigang because it tastes comforting and reminds me of family meals. Even now I often choose it when I want something warm and familiar.

Grammar

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× It's a really savory food and.

✓ It's a really savory food.

The original sentence ends with an unnecessary conjunction 'and' creating an incomplete sentence fragment. Remove the trailing 'and' to complete the sentence. If additional information was intended, add it after 'and' (for example, 'and very comforting').

Singular and plural issue

× When I was young, I used to love very sweet treats like candies, cake or chocolate.

✓ When I was young, I used to love very sweet treats like candy, cake, or chocolate.

'Candies' is plural but in lists of examples the uncountable or mass form 'candy' is more natural in English. Use consistent forms in lists (either 'candies and chocolates' or 'candy and chocolate'). Also add a comma before 'or' in a list (Oxford comma optional).

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× I was very, very naughty kid and I would sneak into my mom's room.

✓ I was a very, very naughty kid, and I would sneak into my mom's room.

The noun phrase is missing the article 'a' before 'very, very naughty kid.' Also add a comma before the conjunction 'and' to separate the clauses for clarity.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× I would get her candies.

✓ I would take her candies.

'Get her candies' is ambiguous and non-idiomatic here; 'take her candies' better communicates that the student secretly removed candies from the mother's room. If the intended meaning was to obtain candies for her, use 'get her candies for her.'

Incorrect use of prepositions

× so I would try to eat different things on different times because I also love trying different kind of food.

✓ so I would try to eat different things at different times because I also love trying different kinds of food.

Use the preposition 'at' with 'times' ('at different times'). Also 'different kind of food' should be pluralized to 'different kinds of food' to match plural 'different'.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× It's just exciting for me and really intriguing to try different food in different areas.

✓ It's just exciting for me and really intriguing to try different foods in different places.

Use the plural 'foods' when referring to different types of food. 'Areas' is grammatically correct but 'places' is more natural in this context.

Past tense issue

× I didn't guess as I grow up I get mature and also choose my food on my own and just found new favorite but I never change my favorite food.

✓ I didn't expect that as I grew up I would mature and choose my food on my own and find new favorites, but I never changed my favorite food.

Several tense and tense-sequence errors: 'grow' should be past 'grew'; 'get mature' should be 'would mature' or 'matured'; 'choose' should align with past perspective ('choose' -> 'choose' can be 'choose' after 'would', but here use 'choose' -> 'choose' is okay but better 'choose' -> 'would choose' or recast as 'chose'); 'just found new favorite' should be 'find new favorites' or 'found new favorites' with consistent past tense; final clause 'I never change' should be past 'I never changed'. Restructured sentence uses past tenses and modal 'would' for habitual past to match 'I didn't expect'.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× I always loved Cindy Gang.

✓ I have always loved sinigang.

The dish name 'sinigang' was misspelled as 'Cindy Gang'. Also use present perfect 'have always loved' to indicate a continuing preference from past to present. Keep the original dish name lowercase as a common noun unless capitalized by proper usage.

Sentence structure errors

× I never really hated it so I'd say.

✓ I never really hated it, so I'd say it's still my favorite.

The original sentence ends abruptly and lacks a clear conclusion. Completing the clause clarifies the meaning. Add a comma before 'so' and finish the thought to create a complete sentence.
