What is your favourite food?
分數: 65.0建議: 回答要更自然并直接回应问题,可先用主题句然后补充具体原因或细节。避免品牌重复使用冠词和所有格错误,语句可更地道。尽量把句子控制在3–4句并使用连接词如 because / so / although 提高连贯性。
範例: My favorite food is apple pie, especially the one from McDonald's. I like it because the crust is flaky and the filling is sweet but not overpowering. Also, it’s quite affordable, so I can enjoy it often without spending much.

× My favorite food is the apple pie in the McDonald's because it's delicious but also cheap.
✓ My favorite food is apple pie from McDonald's because it's delicious but also cheap.
这里不应在可数名词短语前使用定冠词“the”。“apple pie”作为不可数或泛指的食物类型时不加“the”。另外,“in the McDonald's”意思不自然,常用短语是“from McDonald's”表示出处。建议:把“the apple pie”改为“apple pie”,并把“in the McDonald's”改为“from McDonald's”。
× As a child I prefer the food with lots of sugars and fat.
✓ As a child I preferred food with lots of sugar and fat.
句子谈过去的习惯,应使用过去时(past tense)而不是现在时“prefer”。虽然主要类型表中有独立的“past tense issue”,但原句错误同时涉及动词时态,按照允许的类型用‘过去分词形式’项更准确地表示需要把动词改为过去式。另:不可数名词“sugar”不应使用复数形式“sugars”。建议:将“prefer”改为过去式“preferred”,并把“sugars”改为不可数形式“sugar”。
× You know a child only want to eat junk food.
✓ You know, a child only wants to eat junk food.
主语“a child”为第三人称单数,动词须加第三人称单数形式“wants”。原句还缺少逗号以示插入语“you know”的分隔(非必要但更自然)。建议:把“want”改为“wants”。
× For example, in winter I like to drink a cup of hot chocolate, but in summer I only want to eat an iced watermelon.
✓ For example, in winter I like to drink a cup of hot chocolate, but in summer I only want to eat iced watermelon.
“an iced watermelon”中使用冠词“an”与不可数或大块水果搭配不自然,且“watermelon”作为泛指时通常不加冠词或用“a slice of”之类表达。这里保持对比结构,应把“an iced watermelon”改为“iced watermelon”或“a slice of iced watermelon”。建议:去掉冠词,改为“iced watermelon”或更自然的“a slice of iced watermelon”。
× No, I'm used to them and they're still delicious, so I can't find any reason to change them.
✓ No, I was used to it and it's still delicious, so I couldn't find any reason to change it.
问题有几方面:原问“Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?”要求回答关于过去到现在的变化。学生要表达从小到现在没变,时态应使用现在完成或过去完成时更好,但需要统一。原句用复数代词“them”与前文单数“favorite food / apple pie”不一致,应使用单数代词“it”。如果想用过去时表达“我从小就习惯了它并且它仍然美味,所以我找不到改变它的理由”,可把动词改为过去时并与单数代词一致;若保持现在时,则改为“I'm used to it and it's still delicious, so I can't find any reason to change it.” 建议:主谓与代词数一致;根据想表达的时间选择时态,推荐改为现在时一致的版本或现在完成时。
