分数: 78.0建议: Be more concise and use varied vocabulary. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one specific supporting detail using a linking word. Avoid casual contractions and redundant phrases.
示例: My favourite food is cheese pizza. I especially enjoy it because the melted cheese creates a rich, creamy texture. For example, when the cheese stretches with each slice it gives a satisfying mouthfeel that I find comforting.

× My favorite food is cheese pizza. I like it 'cause it's very cheesy and the cheese melts in my mouth which gives a delicious feeling.
✓ My favorite food is cheese pizza. I like it because it's very cheesy, and the cheese melts in my mouth, which gives a delicious feeling.
Type 16: Incorrect use of conjunction. The informal contraction ''cause'' should be changed to 'because' in formal speech. Also add a comma before the coordinating conjunction 'and' joining independent clauses, and a comma before the nonrestrictive relative clause 'which gives a delicious feeling' to improve clarity.
× I usually liked fast food because it was very delicious and just mouth watering.
✓ I usually liked fast food because it was very delicious and just mouth-watering.
Type 14: Incorrect use of quantifiers. ''Mouth watering'' should be hyphenated as the compound adjective 'mouth-watering' when modifying a noun or used predicatively; here it functions as an adjective, so hyphenation is appropriate. No change to tense is required.
× Especially like burger, pizza, pasta, umm.
✓ Especially things like burgers, pizza, and pasta, umm.
Type 1: Singular and plural issue. The noun 'burger' should be plural 'burgers' when speaking generally about types of food. Also adding 'things like' and the serial comma before 'and' clarifies the list.
× I like the white sauce pasta a lot 'cause it would embellish in my mouth and the cream would just be so creamy.
✓ I like the white sauce pasta a lot because it melts in my mouth, and the cream is so creamy.
Type 16: Incorrect use of conjunction and inappropriate verb choice. Replace informal ''cause'' with 'because'. 'Would embellish in my mouth' is incorrect collocation; use 'melts in my mouth' for sensory description. Use simple present 'is' for 'the cream is so creamy' to match habitual preference.
× Not really. I try to maintain a routine, specially I try to have, I try to have umm, vegetables, the meat and I try to have a balanced diet.
✓ Not really. I try to maintain a routine; especially, I try to eat vegetables, meat, and have a balanced diet.
Type 13: Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs. 'Specially' should be 'especially'. Also replace repetitive 'I try to have' with 'I try to eat' for food items, and remove the definite article before 'meat' when speaking generally.
× But I don't really have different types of food.
✓ But I don't really eat different types of food.
Type 22: Article errors / sentence structure. 'Have different types of food' is awkward here; 'eat different types of food' is the correct collocation to express consuming various foods.
× I always have all kinds of food together.
✓ I usually have all kinds of food together.
Type 14: Incorrect use of quantifiers. 'Always' conflicts with earlier 'Not really' and 'try to maintain a routine'; 'usually' better matches the intended meaning of frequency. If student did mean 'always,' no grammatical change would be needed, but context suggests 'usually.'
× Not really, I've always liked white sauce pasta when I was little and even now till today I like white sauce pasta the most because of the cheese and the cream and the texture.
✓ Not really. I've always liked white sauce pasta since I was little, and even now I like white sauce pasta the most because of the cheese, the cream, and the texture.
Type 6: Present tense issue. Use 'since I was little' to connect the present perfect 'I've always liked' with the past time. Replace 'when I was little and even now till today' with a clearer structure. Add commas in a list of reasons.
× It all is just perfect.
✓ It's just perfect.
Type 26: Sentence structure errors. 'It all is just perfect' is wordy and awkward; contracting to 'It's just perfect' is more natural and idiomatic.
