What is your favourite food?
Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: Improve naturalness and expand slightly with a clear topic sentence and one or two specific supporting details. Use present-tense verbs correctly and avoid abrupt short answers. Add a reason or a brief description to show fluency.
Ví dụ: My favourite food is pork adobo because I love the savory and tangy sauce. For example, my family often cooks it with garlic and bay leaves, and we eat it with steamed rice, which makes it very comforting.
What kind of food did you like when you were young?
Điểm: 30.0Gợi ý: Use past tense for past habits and be specific about what you liked. Correct vocabulary (e.g., "fruit" not "fruition") and give a short explanation or memory. Keep it to 1–3 sentences with linking words (e.g., "When I was young, ... because...").
Ví dụ: When I was young, I liked hot dogs and fresh fruit. I often had hot dogs at birthday parties, and my mother always gave me apples and bananas because they were easy to pack in my school lunch.
Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?
Điểm: 25.0Gợi ý: Give a clear, specific answer with examples and seasonal vocabulary. Explain how foods change by season and use linking words such as "for example" or "in summer". Avoid vague responses.
Ví dụ: Yes, I do. In summer I eat more salads and fruits like watermelon and mango, while in winter I prefer warm soups and stews such as chicken noodle soup to keep warm.
Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?
Điểm: 35.0Gợi ý: Provide a direct answer and a clear reason. Use past and present contrast if needed (e.g., "It hasn't changed because..."). Be specific about why it remained the same and include a brief example.
Ví dụ: No, my favourite food hasn't changed because I grew up eating it and still enjoy it. For instance, pork adobo was a regular dinner at home, and I still find its flavor comforting and familiar.
× I eat a hot dog and more fruition food.
✓ I ate hot dogs and more fruit when I was young.
The question asks about the past ('when you were young'), so the verb should be in the past tense (Grammar Problem Type ID 5). 'Eat' in present tense is incorrect. Also 'a hot dog' should be plural 'hot dogs' if speaking generally about childhood habits (Singular and plural issue, ID 1). 'More fruition food' is ungrammatical; likely intended 'more fruit' or 'more fruit-based foods.' Use 'ate' for past and 'fruit' for the correct noun. Suggestions: use past tense verbs for past-time questions, use correct count (singular/plural) for habitual actions, and replace incorrect lexical items with appropriate nouns.
× Yes, I eat more food like all.
✓ Yes, I eat a wider variety of foods throughout the year.
The question asks about different foods at different times of the year; the response should describe a general present habit, but the original sentence is vague and ungrammatical. 'Eat' as present tense can be acceptable for habitual actions (Grammar Problem Type ID 6), but the phrase 'more food like all' is incorrect (Sentence structure errors, ID 26). Correct by specifying 'a wider variety of foods' and 'throughout the year' to match the question's timeframe. Suggestions: when describing habits, use clear quantifiers ('a wider variety') and time phrases ('throughout the year').
× No, because I eat a lot.
✓ No, it hasn't, because I have always eaten a lot of it.
The examiner asked whether the favourite food has changed since childhood, a present perfect question ('Has ... changed'). The student's reply should use perfect aspect to match (Grammar Problem Type ID 7 for future? Actually this is present perfect—fits Present tense issue ID 6 or Past tense ID 5; use Present tense issue ID 6). The original 'I eat a lot' is present simple and doesn't directly explain why the preference hasn't changed. Use present perfect 'hasn't' for the change and present perfect/present perfect continuous for the reason: 'I have always eaten a lot of it.' This links past and present. Suggestions: match tense/verb forms to the question (use present perfect for changes since childhood), and refer clearly to the favourite food ('it').
