I would say Brazilian food. We really like healthy food and fresh food, so we basically cook every day and we eat rice, beans, meat, salad, vegetables, fruits, everything to balance the diet.

What kind of food did you like when you were young?
考生
When I was young, I really loved my mom's food. My mom used to cook for us every day and like her food was delicious. Delicious. We used to eat healthy food, so she never allowed us to eat junk food.
考官
Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?
考生
Actually not, uh, in Brazil food are not seasonal, so you can eat the same, the same things the whole year. I believe the only thing that we eat something different, more caloric. Uh, it was on holidays.
考官
Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?
考生
Oh yeah, definitely, yes. When I was a child, my favorite food was chips because my mom, my mom never allowed us to eat junk food. So I think I just eat chips maybe twice a year. And now my favorite food is Japanese food. Why? I'm in love with Japanese food.
What is your favourite food?
分数: 78.0建议: Melhore a naturalidade e concisão. A resposta é clara, mas há repetição ("healthy food and fresh food", "we basically cook every day") e frases longas sem conectores adequados. Use uma frase principal direta, seguida por 1–2 detalhes específicos e um conector para ligar ideias. Varie o vocabulário (por exemplo "balanced diet" em vez de listar demasiados itens) e evite elementos redundantes e hesitações.
示例: My favourite food is Brazilian cuisine because it focuses on fresh, healthy ingredients. For example, we often cook rice and beans with grilled meat and a variety of salads, which gives a balanced mix of protein and vegetables. I enjoy it because the flavours are simple but satisfying.
What kind of food did you like when you were young?
分数: 72.0建议: Evite repetições e verbal fillers ("like", repetir "delicious"). Comece com uma frase tema e acrescente um detalhe concreto (um prato ou memória). Use conectores simples para ligar a ideia de hábito ao motivo. Mantenha no máximo 3–4 frases.
示例: I loved my mother’s home-cooked meals when I was young because she cooked for us every day. For instance, she often made stews and fresh salads, and she rarely allowed junk food at home. Those meals made me appreciate simple, healthy cooking.
Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?
分数: 60.0建议: Corrija erros gramaticais e remova hesitações ("uh"). Use formas corretas ("food are" → "food is" or "foods are"), e explique claramente com uma razão e um exemplo concreto. Use um conector para contrastar (e.g. "however"/"but").
示例: Not really. In Brazil many ingredients are available year-round, so we eat similar dishes throughout the year. However, we do tend to eat richer, more caloric foods during holidays, such as roast meats and special desserts.
Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?
分数: 70.0建议: Evite respostas fragmentadas e repetição do mesmo motivo. Responda diretamente, dê uma razão específica para a mudança e forneça um exemplo. Use transições ("when I was a child", "now") para estruturar a resposta e evite perguntas retóricas desnecessárias.
示例: Yes, it has changed. As a child I loved chips because they were a rare treat in my household. Now I prefer Japanese food for its variety and delicate flavours, for example sushi and ramen, which I enjoy for their freshness and balance.
× Actually not, uh, in Brazil food are not seasonal, so you can eat the same, the same things the whole year.
✓ Actually not, uh, in Brazil food is not seasonal, so you can eat the same things the whole year.
The subject 'food' is an uncountable noun and should be treated as singular; therefore use the singular verb 'is' instead of 'are'. Suggestion: treat uncountable nouns as singular (food is, furniture is).
× I would say Brazilian food. We really like healthy food and fresh food, so we basically cook every day and we eat rice, beans, meat, salad, vegetables, fruits, everything to balance the diet.
✓ I would say Brazilian food. We really like healthy and fresh food, so we basically cook every day and eat rice, beans, meat, salad, vegetables and fruit to balance our diet.
The original repeats 'food' unnecessarily and uses plural 'fruits' which is acceptable but 'fruit' as an uncountable collective noun is more natural here; also 'we eat' can drop the second 'we' for conciseness. Suggestion: avoid repetition and use parallel structure; use 'fruit' or 'fruits' consistently and 'balance our diet' for natural wording.
× When I was young, I really loved my mom's food. My mom used to cook for us every day and like her food was delicious.
✓ When I was young, I really loved my mom's food. My mom used to cook for us every day and her food was delicious.
The filler 'like' is unnecessary and informal in this context; it disrupts past tense flow. Suggestion: remove filler words and keep simple past narration: 'her food was delicious'.
× We used to eat healthy food, so she never allowed us to eat junk food.
✓ We used to eat healthy food, so she never allowed us to eat junk food.
This sentence is correct; third person singular 'she' and past tense 'allowed' match properly. No change necessary.
× I believe the only thing that we eat something different, more caloric. Uh, it was on holidays.
✓ I believe the only time we ate something different and more caloric was on holidays.
The original sentence mixes present and past structures and has redundancy ('the only thing that we eat something different'). Suggestion: use a clear past narrative: 'the only time we ate something different and more caloric was on holidays.' Ensure tense consistency.
× Oh yeah, definitely, yes. When I was a child, my favorite food was chips because my mom, my mom never allowed us to eat junk food.
✓ Oh yeah, definitely. When I was a child, my favorite food was chips because my mom never allowed us to eat junk food.
Repeating 'my mom' is redundant and there is a comma splice; also punctuation can be simplified. Suggestion: remove repeated phrase and keep tense consistent in past narration.
× So I think I just eat chips maybe twice a year.
✓ So I think I only ate chips maybe twice a year.
Context narrates past habits, so past tense 'ate' is appropriate instead of present 'eat'. Also 'just' is better replaced by 'only' for clarity. Suggestion: match tense to surrounding past context: 'I only ate chips'.
× And now my favorite food is Japanese food. Why? I'm in love with Japanese food.
✓ And now my favorite food is Japanese food. I'm in love with it.
Repeating 'Japanese food' twice is redundant; 'I'm in love with it' is a concise present-tense statement. Suggestion: avoid unnecessary repetition and use pronouns for cohesion.
