What is your favourite food?
分数: 60.0建议: Be more precise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, correct inaccuracies (e.g. 'carbonara' typically uses eggs, cheese, pancetta, not lemon), avoid repetition, and add one or two specific details about why you like it using linking words. Keep it within 2–4 sentences.
示例: My favourite food is pasta, especially carbonara. I love it because the creamy sauce with crispy pancetta and Parmesan creates a rich, comforting flavour. I often cook it at home because it’s quick and always satisfying.
What kind of food did you like when you were young?
分数: 55.0建议: Organize into a clear topic sentence and supporting details, avoid vague phrasing and filler, use correct grammar (past tense and countable nouns), and give a specific example or memory. Use linking words like 'because' or 'for example' to make it coherent.
示例: When I was young, I loved potatoes, especially fried ones. Because my family had limited money, potatoes were affordable and available, so I often ate chips or mashed potatoes for dinner. For example, my mother used to fry thin potato slices which I always enjoyed.
Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?
分数: 65.0建议: Clarify expressions (e.g. 'celebrity dish' is unclear), correct word choice and be specific about seasonal dishes or traditions. Use linking words ('for example', 'however') and keep answers concise with 2–3 sentences.
示例: Yes, I eat different foods during the year because of special occasions. For example, at New Year our family usually prepares roast chicken and traditional salads, while for my birthday I treat myself to burgers and fries.
Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?

示例: No, my favourite foods have not changed since childhood. I still enjoy corn, potatoes and ice cream because they remind me of family meals and childhood treats, so I often choose them when I want comfort.
× I really like pasta.
✓ I really like pasta.
No grammatical error of the listed types; sentence is correct. Included for completeness.
× I enjoy eating it, especially the carbonara ones that like butter with the olive oil and lemon.
✓ I enjoy eating it, especially carbonara, which is made with butter, olive oil, and lemon.
The original uses 'ones' incorrectly for an uncountable dish and has an unclear relative clause 'that like butter'. Replace 'ones' with the uncountable noun 'carbonara' and use 'which is made with' to describe ingredients. Use commas to separate items in a list. Suggestion: Treat dish names as uncountable and use clear relative clauses for descriptions.
× I love this picture of it, I love the taste of it and yes, that's it.
✓ I love its appearance and its taste, and that's all.
Repeated 'it' is awkward; 'this picture of it' is unclear. Use possessive 'its' to refer to the dish and 'that's all' as a natural closing. This improves cohesion and reduces pronoun repetition.
× As a child, there is not many options to have, especially I, my family there were a little poor, I might say.
✓ As a child, there were not many options available; my family was a little poor, I might say.
Original mixes tenses and uses 'there is' with plural 'many options' which should be 'there were' for past reference. Also 'my family there were' is incorrect; use 'my family was'. Use 'available' to clarify 'options to have'. Suggestion: Match 'there be' form to past context and ensure subject-verb agreement for 'family' as singular.
× So I really like potatoes, any type of potatoes fried.
✓ So I really liked potatoes, especially fried ones of any kind.
Context asks about childhood preferences (past), so use past tense 'liked'. Also 'any type of potatoes fried' is ungrammatical; use 'fried ones' to refer to fried potatoes. Suggestion: Align tense with time reference and use 'ones' to replace 'potatoes' when describing types.
× There's like smashed potatoes and these things and, uh.
✓ There were things like mashed potatoes and similar dishes.
Use past tense 'There were' to match childhood context. 'Smashed potatoes' is better expressed as 'mashed potatoes'. 'These things' is vague; 'similar dishes' is clearer. Suggestion: Use correct verb form and more precise vocabulary.
× I usually eat different foods at different times of the year because we have special occasions.
✓ I usually eat different foods at different times of the year because we have special occasions.
Sentence is correct; present simple appropriately describes habitual actions.
× For example, at New Year we often eat chickens and other celebrity dish, while for my birthday I prefer fast food like burgers and fries as a treat.
✓ For example, at New Year we often eat chicken and other celebratory dishes, while for my birthday I prefer fast food like burgers and fries as a treat.
Use uncountable 'chicken' rather than plural 'chickens' when referring to the food. 'Celebrity dish' is incorrect; the intended adjective is 'celebratory' to describe dishes eaten at a celebration. Also pluralize 'dishes' to match 'other'. Suggestion: Choose correct adjectives and treat some food words as uncountable when referring to the dish in general.
× It did not.
✓ It did not change.
Sentence fragment 'It did not' is unclear; adding the verb 'change' specifies what did not happen. Use past tense to answer whether the favorite food changed.
× As a child I liked corn and potatoes and uh, and ice cream.
✓ As a child, I liked corn, potatoes, and ice cream.
Mainly punctuation and filler removal. Commas separate list items; use past tense 'liked' which is correct for childhood context. Remove filler 'uh' and duplicate 'and'.
× I still do like them as a grown up.
✓ I still like them as an adult.
'Do like' is unnecessary emphasis; use simple present 'like' to state a current preference. 'Grown up' is more natural as 'an adult'. Suggestion: Use concise present simple for ongoing states.
× I really find it special and funny because everything changed about someone but everything about me and one thing I can, couldn't change is my food.
✓ I find it special and funny because many things changed about me, but one thing I couldn't change is my food.
Original sentence has word order and structure problems: 'everything changed about someone' is vague and mismatched pronouns. Reorder to 'many things changed about me' for clarity, then contrast with 'but one thing I couldn't change'. Remove misplaced comma and fix tense consistency. Suggestion: Keep subject consistent and use parallel structure for contrasts.
