What is your favourite food?
分数: 52.0建议: Be more organized and clear. Start with a concise topic sentence naming the favourite food, then give 1–2 specific examples and brief reasons. Avoid fillers (uh, like) and unclear phrases. Use linking words (for example, also) to connect ideas and correct minor grammar (e.g., "milk potato" unclear; use "mashed potato" or "potato dishes").
示例: My favourite food is potatoes. For example, I enjoy mashed potatoes and French fries because they are comforting and versatile. I also like spicy Chinese potato dishes, which have a bold flavour that I find exciting.
What kind of food did you like when you were young?
分数: 60.0建议: Use correct tense and more precise wording. Begin with a clear topic sentence about past preference, then give a short reason and effect using linking words (because, so, therefore). Reduce repetition and avoid fillers like "Oh OK."
示例: When I was young, I loved eating instant noodles because they tasted delicious and were easy to prepare. However, my parents thought they were unhealthy, so they rarely let me have them, which made me crave them even more.
Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?
分数: 62.0建议: Give a direct answer then expand with a specific example of a festival and the food eaten. Use linking words (but, for example, during) and correct phrasing ("traditional days" → "festivals"). Be concise and specific.
示例: Not usually, but during Chinese festivals I eat special foods. For example, at the Mid-Autumn Festival we eat mooncakes, and during the Spring Festival we often eat dumplings as a family tradition.

× My favorite food is potato.
✓ My favorite food is the potato.
The sentence omits the definite article before a singular, countable noun used to refer to a specific food category. Use 'the' when speaking generally about a specific item as a favorite: 'the potato.' Alternatively 'potatoes' (plural) could be used to talk generally: 'My favorite food is potatoes.' Suggestion: change to 'the potato' or plural 'potatoes' depending on intended meaning.
× Anything that milk potato, I love it.
✓ Anything made with potato and milk, I love.
The original sentence uses an ungrammatical noun phrase 'milk potato' and awkward word order. Use a passive participle phrase 'made with' to describe dishes containing ingredients and place the clause before the main clause. Suggestion: 'Anything made with potato and milk, I love.'
× Like French fries, uh, some proo egg and this like and Chinese like it's pure with uh, chili pepper or something.
✓ For example, French fries, some kinds of potato dishes with eggs, and Chinese dishes like boiled or mashed potatoes with chili are very good.
This sentence is fragmented and contains nonstandard words ('proo') and unclear structure. Reorganize as a list introduced by 'For example' and use clear noun phrases for each item. Replace vague filler words and specify preparation methods (boiled, mashed) to make meaning clear.
× When I'm young I always wanted to eat instant noodles because because it's very delicious and it was very unhealthy so my parents wouldn't let me take it often.
✓ When I was young I always wanted to eat instant noodles because they were very delicious, and they were also very unhealthy, so my parents wouldn't let me have them often.
Tense and pronoun errors: 'When I'm young' should be past ('When I was young'). Use plural pronoun 'they' for 'instant noodles.' Maintain past tense consistency: 'were' for description and 'have' or 'eat' for frequency. Also use 'have them' or 'eat them' rather than 'take it.' Suggestion: keep past tense and plural references.
× So I crave more.
✓ So I craved them even more.
Context is past narrative, so present 'crave' is inconsistent. Use past tense 'craved' and refer to plural 'them.' Suggestion: align tense with surrounding sentences.
× No, but sometimes there will be some traditional dates, like I'm Chinese, so there will be some Chinese traditional days that we need to eat such a traditional food.
✓ No, but sometimes there are traditional dates. Since I'm Chinese, there are some Chinese traditional days when we need to eat traditional foods.
Use present simple 'there are' for habitual facts rather than 'there will be.' Also 'such a traditional food' is awkward; use plural 'traditional foods' or 'a traditional food.' Use 'when' to introduce time clauses. Suggestion: use 'there are' and pluralize appropriately.
× No, I still like potato till now.
✓ No, I still like potatoes now.
Use present simple 'still like' for current preference. Use plural 'potatoes' for the food category and replace informal 'till now' with 'now' or 'to this day.' Suggestion: 'I still like potatoes now' or 'I still like potatoes to this day.'
× Potato is the most delicious food and it also can make make out of many dishes from potatoes.
✓ Potatoes are the most delicious food to me, and you can make many dishes from potatoes.
Multiple issues: use plural 'potatoes' when speaking generally; subject-verb agreement requires 'potatoes are.' Remove duplicated 'make' and correct word order: 'make many dishes from potatoes.' Suggestion: 'Potatoes are the most delicious food to me, and you can make many dishes from them.'
