My current favorite food would be Malatang as there are a lot of melatonin restaurants here. I have quick access to them so I often eat them a lot so it has been my favorite.
試験官
What kind of food did you like when you were young?
受験者
I used to like really sweet foods like sugar, sugar, candy but now I can eat those. I think my taste buds has have changed.
試験官
Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?
受験者
Yeah, of course. Who wouldn't? I mean, I will eat more Malaten in winters and in summer I will eat cold food like naengmyeon is. It is a Korean cold noodle thing. And yeah.
試験官
Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?
受験者
Yeah, as I have mentioned I used to like sweet foods but now I am more into spicy foods like melatonin. I think it has to do with hormone in my system because I couldn't eat spicy thing when I was young but now I can and I enjoy it a lot.

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

スコア: 50.0提案: Respond with a clear contrast and avoid incorrect words (e.g., ‘melatonin’).

Keep it to 2–3 sentences and correct grammar.
例: Yes, it has changed. I liked sweet foods as a child, but now I prefer spicy dishes because my tastes developed over time and I grew to enjoy stronger flavours.
× My current favorite food would be Malatang as there are a lot of melatonin restaurants here.
✓ My current favorite food is Malatang because there are a lot of Malatang restaurants here.
Use of 'would be' is unnecessary for a simple preference (use present simple). 'As' can be replaced by 'because' for clearer causal meaning. 'melatonin' is a wrong word; context shows the restaurant type is 'Malatang'. Also subject-verb agreement: 'there are a lot of Malatang restaurants' is correct.
× I have quick access to them so I often eat them a lot so it has been my favorite.
✓ I have quick access to them, so I often eat there, and it has become my favorite.
Pronoun and verb usage: 'eat them' is incorrect for restaurants; use 'eat there'. 'so it has been my favorite' mixes time references; use 'it has become my favorite' to show change over time. Added commas and conjunctions for clarity.
× I used to like really sweet foods like sugar, sugar, candy but now I can eat those.
✓ I used to like very sweet foods such as sugar and candy, but now I cannot eat those.
The original likely intended contrast: 'used to like' vs 'now I cannot' (or 'I can eat those' is contradictory). Also 'sugar, sugar, candy' is redundant; use 'such as'. 'very' better than 'really' in formal correction. Maintain tense contrast.
× I think my taste buds has have changed.
✓ I think my taste buds have changed.
Subject 'taste buds' is plural, so use plural verb 'have'. Remove duplicated words 'has have'.
× I mean, I will eat more Malaten in winters and in summer I will eat cold food like naengmyeon is.
✓ I mean, I eat more Malatang in winter, and in summer I eat cold dishes like naengmyeon.
Use present simple to describe habitual actions rather than 'will'. 'Malaten' seems misspelled; use 'Malatang'. 'winters' -> 'winter' for general season. 'cold food like naengmyeon is' is ungrammatical; use 'cold dishes like naengmyeon.'
× It is a Korean cold noodle thing.
✓ It is a Korean cold noodle dish.
Informal 'thing' is vague; 'dish' is appropriate. Structure is fine but word choice improved.
× Yeah, as I have mentioned I used to like sweet foods but now I am more into spicy foods like melatonin.
✓ Yes, as I mentioned, I used to like sweet foods, but now I prefer spicy foods like Malatang.
Use 'as I mentioned' (simple past) for reference to prior statement. 'am more into' is acceptable but 'prefer' is clearer. 'melatonin' incorrect; should be 'Malatang'.
× I think it has to do with hormone in my system because I couldn't eat spicy thing when I was young but now I can and I enjoy it a lot.
✓ I think it has to do with hormones in my system because I couldn't eat spicy foods when I was young, but now I can and I enjoy them a lot.
Use plural 'hormones' and plural 'spicy foods' and pronoun 'them' to refer back. 'spicy thing' is incorrect; use 'spicy foods'. Added comma before 'but' for clarity.
