점수: 62.0제안: Be more specific and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence stating your favourite food, then give one or two specific reasons or an example. Avoid filler words (‘like’, ‘and yeah’) and keep to 2–3 sentences. Use linking words (because, so) to connect ideas.

× So my favorite food is like fast food, like chicken, burgers or pizza.
✓ My favorite foods are fast food, such as chicken, burgers, or pizza.
The noun 'food' can be countable when referring to types, so use plural 'foods' or rephrase. Also use 'such as' instead of repeated 'like' for clarity and parallel list structure. Use plural when listing multiple items and maintain parallel structure.
× It is like really fast to make, which is good.
✓ They are really quick to make, which is good.
'It' is vague here; refer to 'foods' with 'they'. Use adjective 'quick' rather than adverb 'fast' when describing how long something takes to make. Remove filler 'like'. Maintain subject agreement and choose correct adjective form.
× When I was young, I also liked a fast food like burgers, chickens, pizzas.
✓ When I was young, I also liked fast food such as burgers, chicken, and pizza.
Do not use 'a' before uncountable/collective 'fast food'. Use uncountable 'chicken' not 'chickens' when referring to the food, and use consistent list formatting. 'Such as' is clearer than 'like' in this context.
× But I think I especially like, uh, the foods that my mom was making for me.
✓ But I think I especially liked the food my mom made for me.
The timing is in the past ('when I was young'), so use past tense 'liked' and simple past 'made' rather than past continuous 'was making'. Use singular 'food' for general reference and remove filler 'uh'. Match verb tense to the time reference.
× Yes.
✓ Yes, I eat different foods at different times of the year.
The examiner's question expects more than a one-word answer. Expand to a full sentence for clarity and completeness. This improves sentence structure and provides relevant information.
× I don't think that my favorite foods change since I was like a child because when I was young I really like to eat fast foods like chickens.
✓ I don't think my favorite foods have changed since I was a child because when I was young I really liked eating fast food like chicken.
Use present perfect 'have changed' for a change from the past to present. 'Since' requires present perfect. Also use past tense 'liked' for past preference, and uncountable 'chicken' for the food. Remove filler 'like'. Use correct tense for ongoing change and correct noun form.
× And right now I really like to eat like fried chickens, fried fries.
✓ Right now I really like to eat fried chicken and French fries.
Use 'fried chicken' (uncountable) not 'fried chickens'. 'French fries' is the standard term, not 'fried fries'. Remove filler 'like'. Keep parallel structure in the list. Choose correct noun forms and standard collocations.
× So I don't think so.
✓ So I don't think my favorites have changed.
Answer should be explicit and use present perfect 'have changed' to match 'since childhood'. The original 'So I don't think so' is vague. Provide a full clause to clarify meaning and correct tense usage.
