Part 1

Examiner

What is your favourite food?

Candidate

My favorite food is from the Italian cuisine and its name is pasta. I love the red sauce variant of it, as the tomato puree used in it enhances the flavor and makes it a bit tangy, which makes the texture and the flavours of the pasta really appreciable.

Examiner

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

Candidate

When I was young, I used to stick to my comfort food which is the Indian cuisine. I loved eating Dal and rice as my mother used to feed it from her hands which helped me to. Eat more quantity of the food and also made me.

Examiner

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

Candidate

I don't really eat different food at different times of the year as I'm not a person who explores very much. I stick to what I like and have a staple diet which includes my basic proteins and carbs which are relevant for growth and development of body.

Examiner

Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?

Candidate

Yes, it certainly has changed since I was a child. When I was a child, I did not know much about other cuisines as I was not a very outgoing person and I'm still not a very outgoing person. But due to my friends and relatives, I got introduced to various new cuisines which changed my favorite food.

Part 1

What is your favourite food?

Score: 78.0

Suggestion: Your answer is relevant and descriptive, but it's a bit wordy and has repetition (flavor/flavours, texture and flavours). Aim for a clear topic sentence followed by one or two concise supporting details. Use linking words like “because” or “so” to improve cohesion and avoid redundant phrases.

Example: I love Italian pasta, especially with a red tomato sauce. I prefer it because the tangy tomato puree balances the richness of the pasta, giving a fresh and satisfying flavor.

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

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: The answer conveys a clear idea but is fragmented and has grammatical errors and unnecessary details (feeding from her hands). Keep sentences complete and add a linking word to explain the reason. Be specific about feelings or memories but avoid irrelevant or unclear fragments.

Example: When I was young, I mainly ate Indian comfort food, especially dal and rice. I liked it because it was simple and familiar, and eating it with my family made me feel safe and happy.

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

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: Good direct response, but slightly formal and wordy. Avoid vague phrases like “not a person who explores very much” and unnecessary justification about growth. Provide a brief example of your staple foods and use linking words like “however” if you mention exceptions.

Example: Not usually — I tend to stick to a staple diet year-round, mainly rice, lentils and chicken. However, I might eat seasonal fruits or light soups in summer or winter respectively.

Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?

Score: 72.0

Suggestion: The answer is clear and coherent but contains repetition (“not a very outgoing person” twice). Condense the response and add a specific example of a cuisine or dish that influenced the change. Use linking words like “but” and “because” to show cause and effect.

Example: Yes, it has. I used to eat mainly local dishes as a child, but after trying Italian and Chinese food with friends, I discovered new flavors and now prefer dishes like pasta and stir-fries.

Grammar

Article errors

× My favorite food is from the Italian cuisine and its name is pasta.

✓ My favorite food is from Italian cuisine, and its name is pasta.

Use of the definite article 'the' before 'Italian cuisine' is unnecessary. We say 'Italian cuisine' without 'the'. Also add a comma before 'and' joining two independent clauses. Suggestion: Omit 'the' with national cuisines: 'from Italian cuisine.'

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× I love the red sauce variant of it, as the tomato puree used in it enhances the flavor and makes it a bit tangy, which makes the texture and the flavours of the pasta really appreciable.

✓ I love the red-sauce variant, because the tomato puree enhances the flavor and makes it slightly tangy, which improves the pasta's texture and flavor.

Wordy and awkward phrasing: 'red sauce variant of it' and repeated 'it'. Use hyphenated compound 'red-sauce variant'. 'a bit tangy' -> 'slightly tangy'. 'appreciable' is awkward here; 'improves' or 'more enjoyable' fits better. Also use possessive 'pasta's'. Suggestion: Simplify and avoid repetitive pronouns.

Sentence structure errors

× When I was young, I used to stick to my comfort food which is the Indian cuisine.

✓ When I was young, I used to stick to my comfort food, which was Indian cuisine.

Tense mismatch and awkward clause: 'used to' requires the complement in past tense ('which was'). Also drop 'the' before 'Indian cuisine'. Suggestion: Maintain past tense after 'used to'.

Sentence without a verb

× I loved eating Dal and rice as my mother used to feed it from her hands which helped me to. Eat more quantity of the food and also made me.

✓ I loved eating dal and rice because my mother used to feed me with her hands, which helped me to eat larger quantities of food and made me feel cared for.

Original has sentence fragments and punctuation errors ('helped me to.' then fragment). 'feed it from her hands' is incorrect object and phrasing; 'feed me with her hands' is correct. Combine clauses into one coherent sentence and correct capitalization of 'Dal' to 'dal'. Suggestion: Avoid breaking sentences incorrectly; ensure each clause has a verb and correct object pronoun.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× I don't really eat different food at different times of the year as I'm not a person who explores very much.

✓ I don't really eat different foods at different times of the year because I'm not someone who explores much.

'Different food' should be plural 'different foods' (singular/plural issue). 'as' is acceptable but 'because' is clearer. 'a person who explores very much' is awkward; 'someone who explores much' or 'doesn't explore much' is better. Suggestion: Use plural for countable 'foods' and prefer 'because' for reasons.

Plural and quantifier errors

× I stick to what I like and have a staple diet which includes my basic proteins and carbs which are relevant for growth and development of body.

✓ I stick to what I like and have a staple diet that includes basic proteins and carbohydrates relevant for the body's growth and development.

Awkward phrasing: 'my basic proteins and carbs' -> 'basic proteins and carbohydrates'. Missing article 'the' before 'body' -> better as 'the body's'. Use 'that' instead of 'which' for restrictive clause. 'carbs' spelled out as 'carbohydrates' is more formal. Suggestion: Use clear noun forms and possessive 'the body's'.

Present tense issue

× When I was a child, I did not know much about other cuisines as I was not a very outgoing person and I'm still not a very outgoing person.

✓ When I was a child, I did not know much about other cuisines because I was not very outgoing, and I'm still not very outgoing.

Mixing 'as' and repetition makes it clumsy. Use 'because' for clarity and remove repeated 'a' before 'very outgoing'. Maintain present tense in the second clause ('I'm still not very outgoing'). Suggestion: Simplify and avoid unnecessary repetition.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× But due to my friends and relatives, I got introduced to various new cuisines which changed my favorite food.

✓ But because of my friends and relatives, I was introduced to various new cuisines, which changed my favorite food.

Use 'because of' instead of 'due to' at sentence start; 'got introduced' is informal—use 'was introduced'. Add comma before nonrestrictive 'which' clause. 'favorite food' remains acceptable. Suggestion: Prefer 'was introduced' and 'because of' in this context.
