Điểm: 62.0Gợi ý: Cải thiện: Cố gắng phát âm chính xác (ví dụ: "would" chứ không phải "wood", "oil" chứ không "aisle") và dùng câu ngắn, rõ ràng theo cấu trúc chủ đề + chi tiết. Tránh lỗi ngữ pháp thì quá khứ/hiện tại ("I can still remember the first time I tasted it"), và thay một vài từ lặp lại bằng từ đồng nghĩa để tự nhiên hơn. Nên dùng linking words ngắn như "because" hoặc "so" để giải thích lý do.
Ví dụ: My favourite food is crispy noodles. They are regular noodles that are deep-fried in oil until crunchy, which gives them a great texture. I love them because of the contrast between the crisp outside and soft filling, and I can still remember the first time I tasted them.

Ví dụ: When I was a child I liked home-cooked meals because they made me feel warm and comfortable. They were healthier and it was easier to control the ingredients, for example my mother often cooked vegetable soup and steamed fish.

× Well I'm a big fan of crispy noodles so it's just a regular noodle but instead of having wood some kind of soup we deep fry it in the aisle until it crunchy and nice.
✓ Well, I'm a big fan of crispy noodles, so it's just regular noodles, but instead of having them in some kind of soup we deep-fry them in oil until they're crunchy and nice.
Incorrect use of present participle and other verb forms, and wrong word choices: 'having wood some kind of soup' is ungrammatical and likely meant 'having them in some kind of soup'; 'deep fry' should be hyphenated when used as adjective or written as 'deep-fry' for the verb; 'aisle' is wrong word for 'oil'; 'it crunchy' needs auxiliary and past participle 'they're crunchy'. Suggestion: use correct noun plural 'noodles' and pronoun 'them', correct verb forms 'deep-fry' and 'they're crunchy'.
× I'm obsessed with how it tastes and I can still remember the first time I taste it.
✓ I'm obsessed with how it tastes and I can still remember the first time I tasted it.
The verb 'taste' in a past context needs past tense or past participle 'tasted'. The phrase 'the first time I tasted it' refers to a past event, so use past simple. Suggestion: use 'tasted' to match the past reference.
× Well when I was a young girl I really enjoyed home cooked dishes.
✓ Well, when I was a young girl I really enjoyed home-cooked dishes.
Compound adjective 'home-cooked' requires a hyphen and the past tense 'enjoyed' is correct. Main issue was missing hyphen and punctuation. Suggestion: hyphenate compound adjectives before nouns.
× It's make me feel warm and really comfortable when I have it and also eating it is really healthy and easier to like control the ingredient.
✓ They make me feel warm and really comfortable when I have them, and also eating them is really healthy and makes it easier to control the ingredients.
Subject-verb agreement and pronoun errors: 'It' (singular) should be 'they' to match plural 'dishes'; 'It's make' is incorrect — should be 'They make' or 'It makes' depending on subject; 'easier to like control' is incorrect phrasing, needs 'makes it easier to control'; 'ingredient' should be plural 'ingredients'. Suggestion: match pronouns to plural noun, use correct verb forms and natural collocations.
× Areas of course depend on the season and the weather.
✓ Areas, of course, depend on the season and the weather.
Likely typo 'Areas' is unclear; if speaker meant 'It' or 'My choices' use correct subject. Here we correct punctuation only. If intended meaning was 'My choices of course depend...', replace with 'My choices, of course, depend on the season and the weather.' Suggestion: ensure subject matches intended meaning and add commas for the phrase 'of course'.
× My eating habits change.
✓ My eating habits change.
This sentence is correct; no change needed. It describes a habitual or general present, which fits the question about different times of year. Suggestion: no correction necessary.
× Also is sometimes depend on my mood, like for example in summer I enjoy to have refreshing dishes, but in winter I prefer something.
✓ Also, it sometimes depends on my mood. For example, in summer I enjoy having refreshing dishes, but in winter I prefer something heartier.
Pronoun and verb agreement: 'is sometimes depend' is ungrammatical; use 'it sometimes depends' or 'also sometimes depends' with a clear subject. 'I enjoy to have' is incorrect; English prefers verb+ing after 'enjoy' so use 'enjoy having'. 'Prefer something' is vague; add 'heartier' or a noun. Suggestion: use correct subject-verb order, 'enjoy' + gerund, and add an appropriate complement.
× Actually not all, I have always addicted to home cooked dishes.
✓ Actually not at all, I have always been addicted to home-cooked dishes.
Missing auxiliary and incorrect adjective form: 'addicted' requires the verb 'be' in perfect present: 'have always been addicted'. 'Home cooked' should be hyphenated as 'home-cooked'. 'Not all' should be 'not at all'. Suggestion: use correct perfect construction 'have been addicted' and hyphenate compound adjectives.
× It makes me feel warm and at home and eating it made me feel like I missed my all day and also it's healthier than outside food.
✓ It makes me feel warm and at home, and eating it makes me feel like I miss home all day; also, it's healthier than food from outside.
Tense inconsistency: 'eating it made me feel' switches to past; keep present 'eating it makes me feel'. 'I missed my all day' is ungrammatical; likely meant 'I miss home all day' or 'I miss my family all day'. 'Outside food' is nonnative phrasing; use 'food from outside' or 'takeaway/restaurant food'. Suggestion: keep consistent present tense, use correct collocations and phrasing.
