Part 1

What is your favourite food?

Score: 62.0

Suggestion: 문법과 표현을 명확히 하고 문장을 간결하게 만드세요. 현재 문장은 어순과 시제, 관사 사용에 오류가 있고 중복된 표현(comfort/relaxed, soul food/reduce my stressed)이 있습니다. 주제 문장으로 시작한 뒤 한두 개의 구체적 이유(예: 맛, 분위기)를 연결어로 자연스럽게 제시하세요. 예: 'I like fried chicken with beer because...' 형태로 시작하고, 'because'나 'so' 같은 연결어를 사용해 이유를 정리하세요.

Example: My favourite food is fried chicken, especially when I have it with a cold beer. I enjoy it because the chicken is crispy and flavorful, and sharing it with friends helps me relax after a stressful day.

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

Score: 68.0

Suggestion: 시제 일치와 문장 구조를 정확히 하세요. 현재 문장에서는 과거 시제 사용이나 관사 누락, 어순 문제가 있습니다. 간단한 주제 문장 뒤에 장소와 빈도, 특별한 기억을 덧붙여 구체적으로 설명하세요. 'when I was young' 이후에는 모두 과거시제를 사용합니다. 연결어(so, therefore, because)를 활용해 논리를 명확히 하세요.

Example: When I was young, there was only one Chinese restaurant near my house, and we went there on special occasions. We often ordered jajangmyeon, so it became my favourite dish as a child because it was comforting and affordable.

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

Score: 30.0

Suggestion: 내용이 불명확하고 잘못된 단어 사용(예: 'Sunlight chooser', 'dog food', 'Garbage Jim')이 있습니다. 질문에 직접 답한 뒤, 계절이나 명절에 따라 어떤 음식을 먹는지 구체적이고 정확한 단어로 설명하세요. 예를 들어 설날, 추석, 여름철에 먹는 음식과 그 이유를 간단히 밝히고 연결어로 정리하세요. 단어가 떠오르지 않을 땐 일반적인 표현(holiday dishes, seasonal foods)을 사용하세요.

Example: Yes. We eat different foods at certain times of the year. For example, during Lunar New Year we usually eat tteokguk (rice cake soup), and in autumn families often prepare special dishes for Chuseok. These foods are traditional and eaten for celebration.

Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: 문법(시제, 동사 형태)과 어휘 선택을 정확히 하세요. 'When I was young, I liked...'처럼 과거 표현을 사용하고, 'I always wanna'는 비공식적이므로 'I now prefer'나 'I enjoy'로 바꾸세요. 변화의 이유(예: 건강, 가족 영향, 입맛의 변화)를 한두 문장으로 구체적으로 덧붙이면 더 설득력 있습니다.

Example: Yes, my favourite foods have changed. When I was young, I liked jajangmyeon and hamburgers, but now I prefer traditional Korean dishes such as kimchi, jjigae, and seolleongtang because I appreciate their flavours and they feel healthier.

Grammar

Incorrect use of quantifiers

× My favorite food is fried chicken, particularly with beer though chicken and beer is my soul food in reduce my stressed and it makes me feel comfortable and relaxed.

✓ My favorite food is fried chicken, especially with beer; chicken and beer are my soul food because they reduce my stress and make me feel comfortable and relaxed.

The sentence used 'particularly' and 'though' awkwardly and had quantifier/number agreement errors: 'chicken and beer is' should be 'chicken and beer are' (plural subject with plural verb) which is a subject-verb agreement/quantifier issue. 'in reduce my stressed' is incorrect verb form and noun form: use 'reduce my stress' and parallel verbs 'make me feel'. Suggestion: ensure subject and verb number match, use infinitive or base verb after 'reduce', and keep parallel structure for verbs. Grammar problem type ID: 14

There be issue

× When I was young, there is only Chinese restaurant near my house.

✓ When I was young, there was only a Chinese restaurant near my house.

The clause sets a past time frame 'When I was young' so the verb should be past tense 'was' not present 'is'. Also the noun phrase needs an article 'a' before 'Chinese restaurant'. Suggestion: match tense with time adverbials and include appropriate articles. Grammar problem type ID: 3

Singular and plural issue

× We have a special day.

✓ We had a special day.

Context indicates past time ('When I was young'), so past tense 'had' is required; although singular/plural form is fine, the main error is tense consistency which affects number/time reference. Suggestion: keep verb tense consistent with surrounding sentences. Grammar problem type ID:1

Verb in the present participle form

× We often went to Chinese food restaurant eat jajangmyeon.

✓ We often went to the Chinese restaurant to eat jajangmyeon.

The sentence omits the infinitive marker 'to' before 'eat' and misses the article 'the' before 'Chinese restaurant'. Use 'to eat' after 'went' to indicate purpose. Suggestion: include articles and correct verb forms/infinitives when expressing purpose. Grammar problem type ID:10

Present tense issue

× So definitely I would say jajangmyeon is my best food when I was young.

✓ So definitely I would say jajangmyeon was my favorite food when I was young.

Mixes present 'is' with past time 'when I was young'. Use past tense 'was' for consistency. Also 'favorite' is more natural than 'best food'. Suggestion: match verb tense to time expressions. Grammar problem type ID:6

Present tense issue

× Yes, I think there were.

✓ Yes, I think there were.

The sentence is short and ambiguous but grammatically 'there were' could be acceptable if referring to plural items; however, it lacks a clear referent. Better: 'Yes, I think so; there are different foods for different times of the year.' Suggestion: provide clear subject or complete clause for clarity. Grammar problem type ID:6

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× There are occasion food and ordinary food.

✓ There are special occasion foods and ordinary foods.

'Occasion food' is incorrect collocation; use 'special occasion foods'. Also plural 'foods' is needed when speaking generally. Suggestion: use common collocations and plural forms when generalizing. Grammar problem type ID:13

Incorrect use of the definite article

× We eat specific food on occasion, like Sunlight chooser.

✓ We eat specific foods on occasions, like salad.

The phrase 'on occasion' should be 'on occasions' or 'on special occasions'; 'Sunlight chooser' appears to be a mistranscription—likely 'salad' or a specific dish. 'Specific foods' (plural) is more natural. Suggestion: use correct collocations and ensure nouns are accurate. Grammar problem type ID:17

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× We eat dog food for salad.

✓ We eat cold noodles or other dishes for celebrations.

'Dog food for salad' is nonsensical and likely mispronounced. If the intended meaning was a specific dish, replace with the correct dish name. Suggestion: confirm intended vocabulary and use accurate nouns. Grammar problem type ID:13

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× We eat Garbage Jim for gathering family food.

✓ We eat galbijjim for family gatherings.

Likely intended 'galbijjim' (Korean braised short ribs) and 'family gatherings' is the correct collocation. 'Garbage Jim' is a phonetic error. Suggestion: use correct dish name and plural 'gatherings' for general events. Grammar problem type ID:13

Present tense issue

× I would say yes, definitely.

✓ I would say yes, definitely.

This sentence is acceptable as a modal expression of opinion. No correction needed. Suggestion: none. Grammar problem type ID:6

Present tense issue

× When I was young, I like jajangmyeon and hamburger, something like that.

✓ When I was young, I liked jajangmyeon and hamburgers, things like that.

Mixes past 'When I was young' with present 'like'; use past tense 'liked'. Use plural 'hamburgers' and 'things like that' for natural phrasing. Suggestion: keep tense consistent and use plurals for general items. Grammar problem type ID:6

Verb + -ing form

× But now I like Korean traditional dishes, kimchi, jjigae, salontang.

✓ But now I like traditional Korean dishes such as kimchi, jjigae, and seolleongtang.

List items should use correct dish names and parallel structure. 'Salontang' likely refers to 'seolleongtang'. Use 'such as' for examples and include commas and 'and' before the last item. Suggestion: verify vocabulary and use correct romanization. Grammar problem type ID:8

Verb + -ing form

× I always wanna eat Korean cuisine.

✓ I always want to eat Korean cuisine.

'Wanna' is informal speech; in standard writing use 'want to'. 'Want' should be followed by the infinitive 'to eat', not a gerund here. Suggestion: use 'want to' in formal contexts and avoid slang. Grammar problem type ID:8
