What is your favourite food?
Pontuação: 38.0Sugestão: Be direct and clear: start with a simple topic sentence naming the food, then give one or two specific supporting reasons using correct sentence structure and linking words. Keep it under five sentences and avoid repetition. Focus on correct word choice (e.g., 'shallots' if you mean the small onion, or 'salads' if you mean salad) and grammatical forms (I like, I find, I eat, I often order).
Exemplo: My favourite food is salad, especially ones with shallots. I like it because it tastes fresh and helps me feel light after a meal. For example, I often order a mixed salad with shallots and cherry tomatoes when I eat out.
What kind of food did you like when you were young?
Pontuação: 40.0Sugestão: Answer directly and use past tense consistently when talking about childhood. Provide one clear reason and a concise example. Use linking words like 'because' or 'so' to connect ideas and avoid unclear phrases ('a stretch to').
Exemplo: When I was young, I usually liked fast food because it tasted good and was convenient. For instance, my family often bought burgers and fries when we went on picnics.
Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?
Pontuação: 45.0Sugestão: Be specific about seasonal differences and give one or two concrete examples of foods eaten at particular times (holidays, seasons). Use clear linking words ('for example', 'during') and correct collocations (a traditional country → a country with traditions; 'banquet' is an event, mention a specific dish).
Exemplo: Yes. For example, in Vietnam we eat lighter, fresher foods like fruits and salads in the hot season. During Tet (Lunar New Year), however, families prepare special dishes such as bánh chưng and pickled vegetables for celebrations.
Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?
Pontuação: 52.0Sugestão: Give a clear contrast using linking words ('when I was a child... now...') and provide specific reasons and examples for the change. Use consistent tense (past for childhood, present for now) and avoid vague phrases; explain what kinds of salads or healthy foods you prefer.
Exemplo: Yes, it has changed. When I was a child I often ate fast food because it was tasty and easy to get. Now I prefer salads and grilled fish because I want healthier meals and feel better after eating them.
× My favorite food is Shallot, a simple reason go to the fact that I think it's a very good for have and I find it great when I each salads every time. As a result when I go to the restaurant I often.
✓ My favorite food is shallots. A simple reason is that I think they are very good to eat, and I enjoy having them in salads all the time. As a result, when I go to a restaurant, I often order dishes with shallots.
The original sentence contains multiple issues: incorrect capitalization and singular/plural ('Shallot' should be 'shallots'), omitted verb and incorrect sentence structure ('a simple reason go to the fact that' should be 'a simple reason is that'), wrong adjective/adverb use ('very good for have' -> 'very good to eat'), wrong verb form and spelling ('each' -> 'eat'), missing object and incomplete clause at the end. Suggested improvements: make the noun plural if referring to the food in general, supply the linking verb 'is' for the explanatory clause, use 'they are' for plural pronoun agreement, use 'to eat' after 'good', use 'in salads' for the location, and complete the final clause with 'order dishes with shallots' to express the intended meaning.

× Well when I was young I usually like fast food because I find this a stretch to and I often take it when I go to the supermarket or go to the picnic.
✓ When I was young, I usually liked fast food because I found it satisfying, and I often bought it when I went to the supermarket or went on a picnic.
The sentence mixes past and present tenses incorrectly: 'when I was young' sets a past context, so verbs describing habitual past actions should be in the past tense ('liked', 'found', 'bought', 'went'). Also 'a stretch to' is unclear and incorrect; replace with a clear adjective such as 'satisfying'. Use 'went on a picnic' or 'went to a picnic' for correct collocation. Suggestions: keep tense consistent with the past context and choose appropriate verbs and collocations. Grammar problem type ID:6
× Yes, of course. I live in Vietnam. It's a warm up the traditional country in Asia and particularly in that holiday we usually eat some special foods like banquet.
✓ Yes, of course. I live in Vietnam. It's a traditionally warm country in Asia, and especially during holidays we usually eat special foods, such as those served at banquets.
Problems include wrong preposition and word order: 'warm up the traditional country' is incorrect; use adjective order 'traditionally warm' or 'a warm, traditional country'. 'In that holiday' is incorrect preposition and article use; use 'during holidays' or 'during that holiday'. 'Some special foods like banquet' is ungrammatical; 'banquet' is a noun referring to a large meal, so say 'foods served at banquets' or 'banquet dishes'. Suggestions: correct adjective order, use 'during' for time expressions, and rephrase 'banquet' to indicate dishes served at banquets. Grammar problem type ID:11
× Yes, it has. When I was a child I usually ate fast food because I think it's delicious and convenient. Nowadays I like salads and some foods are good for health.
✓ Yes, it has. When I was a child I usually ate fast food because I thought it was delicious and convenient. Nowadays I like salads and other foods that are good for my health.
Tense inconsistency: describing the past ('When I was a child') requires past tense verbs ('thought', 'was') rather than present tense ('think', 'it's'). Also 'some foods are good for health' is awkward and missing a determiner; use 'other foods that are good for my health' or 'good for one’s health'. Suggestions: keep past tense when referring to past habits and add possessive 'my' for clarity in health expressions. Grammar problem type ID:6
