What is your favourite food?
Pontuação: 60.0Sugestão: Be more concise and grammatical: start with a clear topic sentence, then add 1–2 specific supporting details using linking words. Fix grammar (e.g., 'fits my taste', 'traditional Chinese dish', 'a combination of ingredients'). Avoid repetition.
Exemplo: My favourite food is hot pot. I like it because I enjoy spicy flavors and hot pot allows me to try many ingredients in one meal. Also, it’s a traditional Chinese dish that brings people together, which makes it special for me.
What kind of food did you like when you were young?
Pontuação: 55.0Sugestão: Answer directly with a clear topic sentence about your childhood preference, avoid repeating the same point, and provide a specific reason or short example. Use past tense correctly and linking words to connect ideas.
Exemplo: When I was young, I preferred spicy food rather than the sweet snacks many children like. For example, I often enjoyed spicy hot pot with my family, which made me develop a strong taste for chili early on.
Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?
Pontuação: 65.0Sugestão: Be more fluent and specific: state the general rule, then give one or two concrete examples of seasonal foods using linking words like 'for example' or 'in summer'. Reduce filler words and correct phrasing ('in season', 'fresh').
Exemplo: Yes. In my country people choose foods that are in season and fresher. For example, we eat more watermelon and cold dishes in summer, while in winter we prefer hot soups and root vegetables to keep warm.
Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?

Exemplo: Yes, it has changed somewhat. As a child I liked sour flavors and often added vinegar to noodles, but as I grew older I developed a stronger preference for spicy food, so now I prefer dishes with chili and bold seasonings.
× My favorite food is hot pot, I think, because I like to eat food spicy and it's quite fit my flavor.
✓ My favorite food is hot pot, I think, because I like to eat spicy food and it quite fits my taste.
The phrase 'eat food spicy' uses incorrect word order and adjective/adverb form; 'spicy' should modify 'food' so place it before the noun: 'spicy food'. 'It's quite fit my flavor' is ungrammatical: use 'fits my taste' where 'fit' must agree with singular subject 'it' (fits) and 'taste' is the correct noun. Suggestion: reorder to 'eat spicy food' and use 'fits my taste'.
× And also it's kind of traditional food to Chinese and it kind it's a kind of combinational combined food can eat a lot of thing.
✓ Also, it's a traditional Chinese dish, and it's a kind of mixed dish where you can eat many different things.
'Traditional food to Chinese' is incorrect preposition and noun order; say 'traditional Chinese dish'. 'Kind it's a kind of combinational combined food' is redundant and ungrammatical; use 'a kind of mixed dish'. 'Can eat a lot of thing' lacks subject and uses singular 'thing' instead of plural; add 'where you can eat many different things'. Suggestion: simplify phrases and correct noun plurality and word order.
× What kind of food did you like when you were young?
✓ What kind of food did you like when you were young?
This sentence is already grammatically correct for past tense question wording. No change needed.
× I think for most of children they like sweet food when they young, but not for me.
✓ I think most children like sweet food when they are young, but not me.
'For most of children' is incorrect; use 'most children'. 'They like sweet food when they young' is missing the auxiliary verb 'are' for 'they are young'. Also 'but not for me' is wordy; more natural is 'but not me'. Suggestion: use correct pronoun form and include 'are' in the time clause.
× As I said, hot pot.
✓ As I said, hot pot is my favorite.
'As I said, hot pot.' is a fragment lacking a verb; make it a complete sentence by adding 'is my favorite' to clarify meaning. Suggestion: ensure sentences have verbs and clear subjects.
× Hot pot is my favorite food and I like spicy food when I was young.
✓ Hot pot is my favorite food and I liked spicy food when I was young.
The clause 'when I was young' refers to the past, so the verb should be past tense 'liked' not present 'like'. Suggestion: match verb tense to the time reference.
× That's quite special.
✓ That's quite special.
This short sentence is acceptable conversationally; no grammatical correction needed.
× Yes, umm, as many Chinese say that different seasons have different kinds of food and to eat, we prefer to eat something uh, is more timing and is more fresh.
✓ Yes, umm, as many Chinese say, different seasons have different kinds of food to eat; we prefer to eat things that are more seasonal and fresher.
'Different kinds of food and to eat' is awkward; restructure to 'different kinds of food to eat'. 'Something ... is more timing and is more fresh' uses incorrect adjective 'timing' and comparative form 'more fresh'; use 'seasonal' and the comparative 'fresher' or 'more fresh' but 'fresher' is preferred. Also use a relative clause 'things that are' to link description. Suggestion: use 'seasonal' and correct comparative form and sentence structure.
× And so we will eat different kinds of vegetables or fruits at different seasons and different time.
✓ So we eat different kinds of vegetables and fruits in different seasons and at different times.
'At different seasons' is less natural than 'in different seasons'. 'Different time' should be plural 'different times' and include preposition 'at'. Also 'or' can be 'and' when referring to both vegetables and fruits commonly. Suggestion: use 'in' for seasons and pluralize 'times'.
× Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?
✓ Has your favorite food changed since you were a child?
Sentence is correct; only American spelling 'favorite' adjusted for consistency with earlier answers. No grammatical issue.
× Yeah, I think many people have changed changed their favorite food while I was a tiny little baby.
✓ Yeah, I think many people change their favorite foods as they grow; when I was a tiny baby, mine was different.
Original mixes tenses and repeats 'changed changed'. 'While I was a tiny little baby' is awkward with 'have changed'; clarify timeline: general statement in present tense 'change' and specific past with 'when I was a tiny baby'. Also use plural 'foods' for generalization. Suggestion: avoid tense mismatch and redundancy.
× I like seeing this more sour with a exit in it, like while eat noodles or dishes.
✓ I preferred things that were more sour with an acidic taste in them, like when eating noodles or other dishes.
Sentence has multiple issues: 'I like seeing this' is incorrect; should be 'I preferred' (past) if referring to earlier preference. 'A exit' is gibberish; likely meant 'an acidity' or 'an acidic taste'. 'Like while eat noodles or dishes' lacks subject and proper verb form; use 'when eating noodles or other dishes'. Suggestion: replace 'a exit' with 'an acidic taste' or 'acidity' and fix verb forms and subjects.
× I always like to add a seed in my dishes, but after that I like spicy.
✓ I always liked to add a bit of vinegar or sesame seeds to my dishes, but later I came to prefer spicy food.
Original 'add a seed' is unclear; likely meant a seasoning such as 'vinegar' or 'sesame seeds'—clarify with 'a bit of vinegar or sesame seeds'. The tense shifts: 'always like' vs 'after that I like spicy'—use past 'liked' and 'came to prefer' to show change over time. Suggestion: choose appropriate noun for seasoning and make tense consistent to show change.
