What is your favourite food?
Candidato
My favorite food is Katie Curry, especially clean Curry a little bit because it's astronomic and spicy with a great balance of coconut cream, fresh soup and vegetable, and it reminds me of milk I have while traveling in Thailand.

What kind of food did you like when you were young?
Candidato
When I was a child I like some my food that was spicy. For example, I love spaghetti bolognese because it's what tender, easy to eat and quite nutritious with a good amount of meat and proteins.

Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?
Candidato
Absolutely. In winter I usually eat warm heartily dishes as such as lamb stir loss or raw potato because I want something comfortable and filling. In summer I prefer a lighter meal like grilled fish or fresh salads which feel more refreshing in the heat.

Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?
Candidato
Absolutely, when I was a child I prefer spaghetti Bologna, but as I get older I develop a taste for Thai food and now I enjoy spicier dishes. I think I like stronger flavor and more variety and traveling to try new restaurant help me to get used to the spicy food now.
What is your favourite food?
Puntuación: 56.0Sugerencia: Clarify and simplify the response, correct word choice and grammar, and organize ideas with a clear topic sentence and supporting details. Avoid unclear words (e.g. “Katie,” “clean,” “astronomic,” “fresh soup,” “reminds me of milk”) and reduce redundancy. Use one or two linking words to show reasons or examples.
Ejemplo: My favourite food is Thai curry. I especially like red or green curry because it has a perfect balance of spiciness and coconut cream. For example, the vegetables and fresh herbs make it flavourful, and the creamy broth reminds me of a meal I enjoyed while travelling in Thailand.
What kind of food did you like when you were young?
Puntuación: 60.0Sugerencia: Use correct tense and clearer sentence structure: start with a topic sentence in past tense, then give specific supporting detail. Fix grammar (liked, was tender → tender?), and use linking words like “for example” or “because” properly. Be more precise about attributes (e.g. ‘soft texture’, ‘nutritious’).
Ejemplo: When I was young, I liked both spicy dishes and simple pastas. For example, I often ate spaghetti bolognese because it was soft, easy to eat and quite nutritious, with a good amount of meat and protein.
Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?
Puntuación: 70.0Sugerencia: Good structure and clear contrast. Improve vocabulary and accuracy (use ‘hearty dishes’, correct dish names, avoid ‘stir loss’). Use one linking word to contrast seasons (“however”/“in contrast”/“whereas”) and give one specific example of a winter and summer meal that is realistic. Keep within 3–4 sentences.
Ejemplo: Yes. In winter I usually eat hearty dishes such as lamb stew with potatoes because I want something warm and filling. In contrast, in summer I prefer lighter meals like grilled fish and mixed salads, which feel more refreshing in hot weather.
Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?
Puntuación: 68.0Sugerencia: Use consistent tense and clearer linking to show change over time. Begin with a direct topic sentence about change, then explain reasons using linking phrases like “because” or “as a result”. Correct grammar (preferred, developed, restaurants). Be concise and avoid repetition.
Ejemplo: Yes, my favourite food has changed. As a child I preferred spaghetti bolognese, but over time I developed a taste for Thai food and now enjoy spicier dishes because travelling and trying different restaurants broadened my palate.
× My favorite food is Katie Curry, especially clean Curry a little bit because it's astronomic and spicy with a great balance of coconut cream, fresh soup and vegetable, and it reminds me of milk I have while traveling in Thailand.
✓ My favorite food is Kati Curry, especially its cleaner curry a little bit because it's aromatic and spicy with a great balance of coconut cream, fresh herbs and vegetables, and it reminds me of the milk I had while traveling in Thailand.
Multiple word choice and adjective errors: 'Katie' likely should be 'Kati' (a restaurant/brand) or 'kati' as part of the dish name; 'clean Curry a little bit' is ungrammatical and unclear — changed to 'its cleaner curry a little bit' to indicate a milder/cleaner version. 'Astronomic' is incorrect in this context; 'aromatic' fits taste/smell. 'Fresh soup and vegetable' is wrong; 'fresh herbs and vegetables' makes sense in a curry. 'reminds me of milk I have while traveling' mixes tenses and article use — corrected to 'the milk I had while traveling' to match past experience. Suggestion: choose precise adjectives (aromatic, creamy), keep noun phrases consistent (herbs and vegetables), and match past tense for past experiences.
× When I was a child I like some my food that was spicy.
✓ When I was a child I liked some of my food to be spicy.
Tense and word order problem: 'When I was a child' signals past tense, so 'like' must be past 'liked'. 'some my food' is incorrect order; change to 'some of my food'. Alternative phrasing: 'I liked some of my food spicy' or 'I liked some of my food to be spicy.' Suggestion: match verb tense to time reference and use correct noun phrase order.
× For example, I love spaghetti bolognese because it's what tender, easy to eat and quite nutritious with a good amount of meat and proteins.
✓ For example, I loved spaghetti bolognese because it's tender, easy to eat and quite nutritious with a good amount of meat and protein.
Mixed tense and incorrect word choices: 'love' conflicts with earlier past context so 'loved' fits if speaking of childhood; however if describing current feeling 'love' is OK — here context is past so 'loved'. 'it's what tender' is incorrect — remove 'what'. 'proteins' as a countable plural is awkward; use 'protein' as an uncountable nutrient. Suggestion: remove unnecessary words, keep tense consistent, and use uncountable nouns for nutrients.
× In winter I usually eat warm heartily dishes as such as lamb stir loss or raw potato because I want something comfortable and filling.
✓ In winter I usually eat warm, hearty dishes such as lamb stir-fry or roasted potatoes because I want something comforting and filling.
Multiple issues: 'warm heartily dishes' misplaces an adverb and misspells 'hearty' — 'heartily' is an adverb, but 'hearty' is the correct adjective for 'dishes'. 'as such as' is redundant; use 'such as'. 'lamb stir loss' is meaningless — likely 'lamb stir-fry' or 'lamb stew'; changed to 'lamb stir-fry'. 'raw potato' is odd for a meal; changed to 'roasted potatoes'. 'comfortable' is incorrect collocation for food; 'comforting' is appropriate. Suggestion: place adjectives correctly before nouns, use correct collocations for foods, and choose appropriate cooking verbs/nouns.
× In summer I prefer a lighter meal like grilled fish or fresh salads which feel more refreshing in the heat.
✓ In summer I prefer lighter meals like grilled fish or fresh salads, which feel more refreshing in the heat.
Number agreement and article use: 'a lighter meal' is acceptable, but to match parallel plural 'grilled fish or fresh salads' it's clearer to use 'lighter meals'. Also added comma before the non-restrictive clause. Suggestion: keep parallel structures and match singular/plural across examples.
× Absolutely, when I was a child I prefer spaghetti Bologna, but as I get older I develop a taste for Thai food and now I enjoy spicier dishes.
✓ Absolutely. When I was a child I preferred spaghetti Bolognese, but as I got older I developed a taste for Thai food and now I enjoy spicier dishes.
Tense inconsistency: 'When I was a child' requires past tense 'preferred', not 'prefer'. Subsequent clauses describing change also need past: 'as I got older I developed'. Also corrected 'Bologna' (city) to 'Bolognese' (the dish). Suggestion: keep past tense for past periods and use correct dish names.
× I think I like stronger flavor and more variety and traveling to try new restaurant help me to get used to the spicy food now.
✓ I think I like stronger flavors and more variety, and traveling to try new restaurants has helped me get used to spicy food now.
Number and tense errors: 'stronger flavor' should be plural 'stronger flavors' when generalizing. 'new restaurant' should be plural 'new restaurants'. 'traveling to try...' is a noun phrase requiring a verb form; use present perfect 'has helped' to link past experiences to the present. Also remove unnecessary 'to' after 'helped me' and article before 'spicy food'. Suggestion: ensure pluralization for general statements, use appropriate perfect tense to connect past actions with present state, and maintain concise verb patterns.
