What is your favourite food?
分数: 68.0建议: Be more specific and add a brief reason or example. Start with a clear topic sentence naming a specific dish or style, then add one or two supporting details using a linking word (e.g., because, for example). Keep it under five sentences.
示例: My favourite food is homemade dal and rice because it’s comforting and healthy. For example, my family cooks it with fresh spices and vegetables, which makes it both tasty and nutritious.
What kind of food did you like when you were young?
分数: 60.0建议: Give a specific example of a food you liked and a short reason or memory. Use a clear topic sentence and a linking word (e.g., especially, because, for example) to connect your details. Avoid vague phrases like “some foods.”
示例: When I was young, I especially loved my mother’s homemade samosas because she filled them with spiced potatoes and peas. For example, she would make them for family gatherings, and I always looked forward to their crunchy texture.
Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?
分数: 64.0建议: Expand with a concise example of seasonal foods and a linking word to explain why. Provide one or two specific instances (e.g., festivals, summer vs winter) to make the answer more informative and natural.

Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?
分数: 66.0建议: State your answer clearly with a topic sentence, then add a brief reason why it hasn’t changed using a linking word (e.g., because, since). Correct small grammar issues (use present perfect or present simple appropriately).
示例: No, my favourite food has not changed; I have loved dal chawal (dal and rice) since childhood because it reminds me of home and tastes comforting. For example, the same spices my family uses make it feel familiar and satisfying.
× I usually prefer to eat simple homemade food.
✓ I usually prefer eating simple homemade food.
The verb 'prefer' is commonly followed by a gerund (verb + -ing) when stating general preferences. Using 'prefer to eat' is not strictly wrong, but 'prefer eating' is more natural in this context for habitual preference. Suggestion: use 'prefer eating' for smoother, more idiomatic phrasing.
× When I was young, I loved to eat some foods, especially which are made by my mother.
✓ When I was young, I loved to eat foods that were made by my mother.
The relative clause 'which are made by my mother' is incorrect with 'especially' and the past context. Use 'that' for defining clauses and match past tense: 'were made'. Also remove 'some' which is unnecessary. Suggestion: use 'foods that were made by my mother' or simply 'my mother's cooking'.
× Absolutely yes. I used to eat different foods at different times of the year.
✓ Absolutely. I used to eat different foods at different times of the year.
The short answer 'Absolutely yes' is awkward; 'Absolutely' or 'Yes, absolutely' is more natural. The sentence 'I used to eat' correctly indicates past habitual action; no tense change is needed. Suggestion: respond with 'Absolutely.' or 'Yes, absolutely.' for natural speech.
× I love to eat Dal jawan since childhood and I do not think that it gets changed with the passage of time.
✓ I have loved eating Dal jawan since childhood, and I don't think it has changed over time.
When an action started in the past and continues to the present, use the present perfect: 'have loved'. Use gerund 'eating' after 'love' for natural phrasing. 'Gets changed' is passive and awkward; use 'has changed'. 'With the passage of time' is wordy; 'over time' is concise. Suggestion: use present perfect and simpler verbs for clarity.
