Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?
Candidate
Oh well yes, my favorite food has changed since I wear a Chai. When I wear small, I love sweetness and fast food like chicken Nuggets. But now I prefer healthier meals such as real foods and vegetables because they make me feel better and have more variety. For example, I often choose a grilled salmon.
What is your favourite food?
Score: 52.0Suggestion: Clarify the food name (it seems incorrect) and give a concise, well-structured response. Start with a clear topic sentence naming the food, then add 1–2 specific supporting details (flavour, toppings, convenience) using linking words. Avoid redundancy and keep to 2–4 sentences.
Example: My favourite food is pizza. I enjoy it because it is very tasty and I can choose from many different toppings. Also, it is convenient when I am busy since I can order it quickly and it appeals to both children and adults.
What kind of food did you like when you were young?
Score: 66.0Suggestion: Correct vocabulary and be specific about the holiday name and emotions. Use a clear topic sentence, then one or two supporting details linked logically. Avoid unclear words like 'death holiday' — replace with the correct term (e.g., 'festival' or the local holiday name).
Example: When I was young, I loved a traditional chicken cake that my family made for the Mid-Autumn Festival. It reminds me of happy times visiting my grandparents, because we always ate it together while watching the celebrations.
Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?
Score: 44.0Suggestion: Improve grammar, vocabulary and coherence. Begin with a direct answer, then give 1–2 specific reasons using linking words (e.g., 'because', 'however', 'occasionally'). Correct collocations (busy life, seasonal ingredients) and avoid repetition.
Example: Not really. Because I have a busy life, I usually eat convenient and quick meals, so my diet stays similar most days. However, occasionally I change my menu when I have time to cook and try dishes with seasonal ingredients.

× My favorite food is Visa because it's very tasty and you can choose lots of different toppings.
✓ My favorite food is pizza because it's very tasty and you can choose lots of different toppings.
The sentence uses a capitalized proper noun 'Visa' which is incorrect for the intended food 'pizza'. This is a word choice/spelling error rather than an article problem, but within the provided list the closest is Incorrect use of the definite article (17). Suggestion: use the correct noun 'pizza'. Also ensure proper capitalization only for proper nouns.
× It's also convenient to eat when I'm busy since I can get it quickly and is popular with both children and adults.
✓ It's also convenient to eat when I'm busy since I can get it quickly and it is popular with both children and adults.
The original sentence is missing the subject 'it' before 'is popular', creating a grammatical inconsistency. This is an error in sentence structure and in linking clauses. Suggestion: include the subject 'it' to make the clause complete: 'it is popular'.
× When I was a child, I really loved chicken cake because it's a traditional dish in my country and it reminds me of the death holiday.
✓ When I was a child, I really loved chicken cake because it's a traditional dish in my country and it reminded me of the death holiday.
The sentence mixes past tense 'loved' with present tense 'reminds'. To keep temporal consistency, the clause referring to memories should use past tense 'reminded'. Suggestion: match verb tenses when describing past experiences.
× In this holiday, I used to visit my grandparents and eat the cake with my family while we watch the celebration together.
✓ During this holiday, I used to visit my grandparents and eat the cake with my family while we watched the celebration together.
Use 'during' for events that occur throughout a period rather than 'in'. Also maintain past tense 'watched' to match 'used to visit'. Suggestion: use 'during' and past tense when describing repeated past actions.
× No, I don't really change my diet because I have a busy lifetime.
✓ No, I don't really change my diet because I have a busy life.
The noun 'lifetime' is unnatural here; 'life' is the correct noun. This is a word choice error affecting present-tense description. Suggestion: use 'life' to express a busy schedule.
× I usually choose food that are convenient and quick to prepare.
✓ I usually choose food that is convenient and quick to prepare.
The relative pronoun 'that' refers to 'food' considered as a singular mass noun; therefore the verb should be 'is' not 'are'. Suggestion: use 'food that is' or 'foods that are' depending on meaning.
× I so I tend to eat similar meals most day.
✓ So I tend to eat similar meals most days.
The original includes an extra 'I' and 'most day' should be plural 'most days'. This is a sentence structure and word form error. Suggestion: remove the extra 'I' and use plural 'days'.
× Occasionally I would change what I eat when I have time to cook. Our seasonal ingredient are available.
✓ Occasionally I change what I eat when I have time to cook. Our seasonal ingredients are available.
'Ingredient' should be plural 'ingredients' to agree with 'available' in general statement. Also 'would change' is unnatural here; use simple present 'change' for habitual actions. Suggestion: use plural nouns for countable items and match verb aspect to habitual actions.
× Oh well yes, my favorite food has changed since I wear a Chai.
✓ Oh well yes, my favorite food has changed since I was a child.
'Wear a Chai' is incorrect; likely intended 'was a child'. Also 'has changed since I was a child' correctly uses present perfect for change from past to present. Suggestion: use 'was a child' for past time reference.
× When I wear small, I love sweetness and fast food like chicken Nuggets.
✓ When I was small, I loved sweet foods and fast food like chicken nuggets.
Use past tense 'was' and 'loved' to describe preferences in childhood. 'Sweetness' should be 'sweet foods' and 'chicken Nuggets' should be lowercase 'nuggets'. Suggestion: use past tense and correct noun forms for childhood descriptions.
× But now I prefer healthier meals such as real foods and vegetables because they make me feel better and have more variety.
✓ But now I prefer healthier meals such as whole foods and vegetables because they make me feel better and offer more variety.
'Real foods' is awkward; 'whole foods' is a clearer term. Also 'have more variety' is better expressed as 'offer more variety' referring to meals. Suggestion: choose idiomatic nouns and appropriate verbs for inanimate subjects.
× For example, I often choose a grilled salmon.
✓ For example, I often choose grilled salmon.
'A grilled salmon' is awkward because 'salmon' as a dish is uncountable or the article is unnecessary. Removing 'a' produces a natural expression. Suggestion: omit the article when talking about a type of food in general.
