What is your favourite food?
Score: 50.0Suggestion: Be concise, grammatically correct, and give specific reasons. Start with a clear topic sentence, correct verb forms, and add one or two specific details (e.g., types of sushi, texture, or when you eat it). Use linking words to connect ideas.
Example: My favourite food is sushi because I enjoy Japanese cuisine. For example, I often choose salmon nigiri and avocado rolls because I like the fresh taste and soft texture, and eating sushi makes me feel relaxed after a long day.
What kind of food did you like when you were young?
Score: 45.0Suggestion: Use correct tense and subject-verb agreement for past habits, and give specific examples or reasons. Start with a clear past-tense topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details and a linking word (e.g., 'because' or 'so').
Example: When I was young, I preferred noodles because they were easy to eat and very tasty. For instance, I often had chicken noodle soup after school, which kept me warm and happy.
Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?
Score: 40.0Suggestion: Avoid absolute words like 'never' unless you mean it; give a short direct answer followed by a reason and an example. Use linking words (e.g., 'but' or 'however') if mentioning exceptions and be specific about what you eat daily or seasonal changes.
Example: Not really; I usually eat similar meals year-round because I have a routine. However, I sometimes add seasonal fruits like watermelon in summer or pumpkin soup in autumn.
Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?
Score: 48.0Suggestion: Be clear about the change and use correct grammar and vocabulary. Start with a direct topic sentence stating whether it has changed, explain why with specific details, and use linking words (e.g., 'because' and 'so'). Clarify vague terms such as 'soul food' if used.
Example: Yes, my favourite food has changed. As a child I loved chocolate because I enjoyed sweet treats, but now I prefer savoury dishes like spicy comfort food because I appreciate stronger flavours.
× It make me feel relax and I like it.
✓ It makes me feel relaxed and I like it.
Subject 'It' is third person singular so the verb needs an -s: 'make' -> 'makes'. Also 'relax' is a verb; the correct adjective is 'relaxed' to describe a feeling.
× It's like a Japanese girl.
✓ It's like Japanese food.
The student likely tried to compare the sushi to Japanese cuisine, not a person. 'A Japanese girl' is inappropriate here. Use 'Japanese food' for clarity and correct noun choice.
× When I was young I prefer noodle because it's yummy and when I was kids I like soup.
✓ When I was young I preferred noodles because they were yummy, and when I was a kid I liked soup.
The question asks about the past, so use past tense: 'prefer' -> 'preferred', 'like' -> 'liked'. 'Noodle' should be plural 'noodles' (singular/plural agreement). 'When I was kids' is incorrect; use 'when I was a kid'. Also ensure pronoun agreement: 'they were yummy' refers to 'noodles'.
× Never, because I like to eat the same food like I eat every day.
✓ Never, because I like to eat the same foods I eat every day.
The sentence discusses a habitual present action, so present simple is fine, but wording is repetitive. Use 'same foods' (plural) and remove the extra 'like' before 'I eat every day' to form a clear comparative structure.
× Yes, it is chocolate because when I was shy I love to eat sweetest food, but now I don't like it, I prefer soul food.
✓ Yes, it was chocolate because when I was shy I loved to eat the sweetest foods, but now I don't like it; I prefer soul food.
Discussing change since childhood requires past tense 'was' and 'loved' for the earlier state. 'Sweetest' needs 'the' and should refer to 'foods' (plural). Use a semicolon or separate clauses to clarify current preference. Maintain tense consistency between past and present.
