Part 1

What is your favourite food?

Score: 56.0

Suggestion: Be more accurate and fluent: start with a clear topic sentence, give 1–2 brief supporting details (what it is, ingredients or why you like it), and avoid fillers and repetition. Use linking words (for example, because, and) for coherence. Pronounce the dish name clearly and correct small grammar errors (e.g., “popular in Nepal,” “originally from Tibet,” “available all over Nepal”).

Example: My favourite food is momo. Momo is a popular dumpling in Nepal that originally comes from Tibet, and you can find it all over Nepal. I like it because the filling is juicy and well-spiced, and it is usually served with a tangy dipping sauce that complements the flavours.

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

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: Use past tense consistently and be concise: open with a topic sentence in past tense, add one specific detail (a memory or reason), and avoid hesitations. Use linking words like because or and to connect ideas. Correct grammar: “I liked rice and chicken my mother made,” and reduce repetition.

Example: When I was young, I liked eating rice and the chicken my mother cooked because she used special spices and it tasted amazing. I still remember that flavour vividly, especially the way the rice absorbed the sauce.

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

Score: 50.0

Suggestion: Organize answer and remove hesitations: start with a clear general statement, then give two specific seasonal examples with linking words (for example, in summer… whereas in winter…). Replace vague phrases with precise items and correct vocabulary (e.g., ‘cold items’ → ‘cold foods’ or ‘ice cream’; clarify ‘tupa’ if needed).

Example: Yes. In summer I usually prefer cold foods like ice cream and chilled drinks, whereas in winter I like warm dishes such as tupa, a hearty local porridge that keeps me warm and full.

Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?

Score: 58.0

Suggestion: Answer directly and compare past and present: begin with a clear topic sentence stating whether it changed, then contrast past and present using linking words (e.g., but, however, now). Correct grammar (use past tense for childhood, present tense for now) and be specific about examples and reasons.

Example: Yes, it has changed. As a child I loved omelettes my parents made, but now I often prefer fast food like burgers and fries because it is convenient and I eat out more often.

Grammar

Article errors

× My favorite food is Mama.

✓ My favorite food is momos.

The original uses 'Mama' which seems to be a wrong article/name and a countable noun; also 'momo' plural in English is 'momos' or 'momo' as a dish. Use the correct noun 'momos' to name the dish. Use lowercase and plural for the food name.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× A Mama is typically a famous in Nepal.

✓ Momos are typically famous in Nepal.

The sentence used the indefinite article 'A' and the adjective 'famous' with an extra 'a', causing incorrect structure. Because we refer to the dish in general, use plural noun 'Momos are' and the adjective 'famous' without 'a'.

Present tense issue

× Uh, it is originally made uh, from Tibet, but it's a complex all over the Nepal.

✓ It originally comes from Tibet, but it is common all over Nepal.

The original mixes passive and awkward word choices. Use simple present 'comes' for origin. 'Complex all over the Nepal' is incorrect: 'common all over Nepal' is appropriate; drop the definite article before country name 'Nepal'.

Past tense issue

× Uh, when I was young, I like to eat a rice and a chicken that made from my mom and it is so delicious.

✓ When I was young, I liked to eat rice and chicken made by my mom; it was very delicious.

The time phrase 'when I was young' requires past tense 'liked'. Use uncountable noun 'rice' without article 'a'. Use 'made by' for passive agent. Keep description in past: 'was very delicious'.

Verb in the present participle form

× I still remem remember that taste.

✓ I still remember that taste.

There is a duplicated fragment and misspelling. Use the base form 'remember' for present simple to indicate a current memory.

Present tense issue

× Yes, I often really, uh, change my, uh, food recipe according to different times when they, uh, when there is someone,

✓ Yes, I often change my food choices depending on the season or occasion,

The original is confusing and mixes tenses. Use present simple 'change' for habitual action. Replace 'food recipe' with 'food choices' and 'according to different times when there is someone' with 'depending on the season or occasion' for clarity.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× I used to eat a cold, uh, a cold, uh, items like ice cream, uh, and other, uh, free freezing items.

✓ I used to eat cold items like ice cream and other frozen treats.

Remove unnecessary articles before uncountable/plural nouns: 'cold items' not 'a cold items'. 'Free freezing' is incorrect; use 'frozen'. 'Treats' is a natural collocation.

Past tense issue

× And when it was a winter, I used to, uh, eat tupa, which is good.

✓ And in winter, I used to eat tupa, which was good.

Use 'in winter' not 'when it was a winter'. 'Used to' indicates past habit; keep complement in past 'was good' to match tense.

Present tense issue

× Yeah, uh, my favorite food is since when I was child.

✓ Yes, my favorite food has been the same since I was a child.

To express a preference continuing from childhood to present, use present perfect 'has been' plus 'since'. Add article 'a' before 'child'.

Present tense issue

× I like to eat omelette food.

✓ I liked to eat omelettes.

Context refers to childhood habit, so use past 'liked'. 'Omelette food' is unnatural; use plural 'omelettes' or 'omelettes/omelet' depending on variety.

Present tense issue

× Uh, but when I grow up, I like to eat more fast food than the homemade food.

✓ But when I grew up, I started to eat more fast food than homemade food.

Since speaking about change over time, use past 'grew up' and past simple 'started to eat'. Remove 'the' before 'homemade food' and use comparative 'more ... than ...' correctly.
