What is your favourite food?
分数: 58.0建议: Be more direct and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence naming the food, then give 1–2 specific reasons or a short example. Avoid filler words and repetition (e.g., “It’s so good”). Use correct collocations (e.g., “seafood hotpot” or “spicy pork”).
示例: My favourite food is seafood hotpot, especially the spicy pork version. I like it because the broth is rich and warming, and the fresh seafood adds a lot of flavour. For example, I often eat it with rice and vegetables at family gatherings.
What kind of food did you like when you were young?
分数: 52.0建议: Use past tense consistently and give a brief reason or contrast with now. Avoid vague statements like “I feel like fast food.” Be specific about preferences and include a linking word to show contrast (e.g., “however,” “but”).
示例: When I was young, I liked eating pizza and hamburgers because they were convenient and tasted good. However, as I grew older I became more conscious of my health and now I eat them only occasionally.
Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?
分数: 46.0建议: Improve grammar and clarity: use correct subject-verb agreement and seasons vocabulary. Structure the answer: state that you change foods by season, then give two clear examples using linking words (e.g., “for example,” “in summer,” “in winter”). Avoid hesitations and incomplete phrases.
示例: Yes, I do. I eat different foods depending on the season. For example, in summer I prefer light, refreshing dishes such as salads and cold noodles, whereas in winter I choose warm, hearty meals like stews and soups to stay comfortable.
Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?

示例: Yes, my favourite food has changed. As a child I preferred fast food such as pizza and hamburgers because they were fun and easy to eat, but now I prefer home-cooked meals made by my mother because they taste more comforting and are healthier.
× Yes, of course. My favorite food is hot pork, especially seafood hot pork because it's very tasty. It's so good.
✓ Yes, of course. My favorite food is hot pot, especially seafood hot pot, because it's very tasty. It's so good.
The student used 'hot pork' which is likely a mispronunciation/confusion with 'hot pot'. This is a vocabulary error rather than grammar, but it affects clarity; correction replaces incorrect noun. Also added a comma before 'because' for clarity. Suggestion: learn correct food vocabulary and check similar sounding words.
× Yeah, when I was young, I like pizza, hamburger.
✓ Yeah, when I was young, I liked pizza and hamburgers.
The time phrase 'when I was young' requires past tense. 'Like' is present tense; change to past tense 'liked'. Also use plural 'hamburgers' and add 'and' for correct coordination. Suggestion: match verb tense to time adverbials and use plural for countable nouns when general.
× It's a fast food.
✓ It was fast food.
With past context 'when I was young', use past tense 'was'. Also 'fast food' as a category usually omits the indefinite article 'a'. Saying 'It was fast food' is natural. Suggestion: omit 'a' before uncountable/category nouns and keep tense consistent with context.
× I feel like fast food.
✓ I liked fast food.
The original 'I feel like fast food' is ungrammatical in this context. The intended meaning is past preference, so use 'I liked fast food'. Suggestion: use 'feel like' only to express current cravings (e.g., 'I feel like eating fast food').
× I don't care about my health.
✓ I didn't care about my health.
Past context requires past tense 'didn't care'. The pronoun 'my' is correct. Suggestion: ensure verb tense matches time frame.
× Yes I do. I eat different foods depend on the season.
✓ Yes I do. I eat different foods depending on the season.
Use the gerund form 'depending' after verbs like 'depend' when showing reason/condition. 'Depend on' requires 'depending on' here. Suggestion: use '-ing' form for participial clauses that modify main clause.
× Umm lies in the summer I won't like eat the refresh and light food is like umm salads but in the warm.
✓ In the summer I don't like to eat refreshing, light foods like salads, but in the cold months I want warm foods.
Multiple issues: tense and modality ('won't like eat' is wrong), word choice ('refresh' should be 'refreshing'), count/number and articles. Converted to present habitual: 'I don't like to eat' or 'I don't like eating' for general preference. Plural 'foods' and adjective order corrected. Clarified contrast with 'cold months'. Suggestion: keep sentence simple: 'In the summer I don't like to eat heavy food; I prefer light, refreshing salads.'
× I want warm foods like uh hot.
✓ I want warm foods, like hot soups.
Original trailing 'hot' is incomplete; specify noun 'soups' or 'dishes'. Also plural 'foods' is acceptable. Suggestion: complete adjectives with nouns and avoid filler 'uh' in formal responses.
× Yes, I tend to hear many genre of favorite foods since I was trying it.
✓ Yes, I've tended to try many kinds of foods since I started trying them.
The sentence mixes tenses and misuses verbs: 'tend to hear' is incorrect; likely intended 'tend to try' or 'have tried'. Use present perfect 'I've tried' or 'I've tended to try' with 'since' causing present perfect. 'Genre' is wrong for 'kinds' or 'types'; use plural 'foods' and 'them' pronoun. Suggestion: use 'have + past participle' with 'since' to link past to present and choose correct verbs and nouns.
× Now when I was trying I want the fast food like pizza, hamburger but now I just want you uh, food from my mum.
✓ When I was younger I wanted fast food like pizza and hamburgers, but now I just want food from my mum.
Mixed time references: 'Now when I was trying' is incorrect. Use past 'When I was younger I wanted' for past preferences. 'Now' before 'I was' conflicts; removed redundant words and corrected 'you uh,' to 'your' or removed; used 'my mum' as intended. Suggestion: separate past and present statements clearly and keep tense consistent: use past for past habits and present for current preferences.
