What is your favourite food?
分數: 62.0建議: Make your response more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid repetition and grammar errors (e.g., article use, word order). Also vary vocabulary (e.g., 'juicy', 'sweet', 'ripe') and correct phrasing like 'the most important criteria' → 'the most important qualities'.
範例: I love tropical fruits, especially mangoes and watermelons. They are my favourites because they are sweet and very juicy, and I prefer ripe fruit with a strong aroma. For example, a perfectly ripe mango is soft, fragrant and full of flavour, which I find irresistible.
What kind of food did you like when you were young?
分數: 55.0建議: Provide a clear topic sentence and remove hesitations and fillers. Use correct tense (past simple) and clearer expressions instead of awkward idioms. Give a brief reason or an example to support your answer. Keep it to a maximum of 3–4 sentences.
範例: When I was young, I loved chocolate, especially milk chocolate bars. I enjoyed it because of its sweet, creamy taste, and I often had a small bar as a treat after school. For instance, I remember saving pocket money to buy chocolate with my friends.
Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?
分數: 68.0建議: Give a direct topic sentence, use correct pronouns and word order, and add a linking phrase to explain reasons. Be specific about which seasons and why certain foods are eaten then. Replace vague phrases like 'other seasons' with 'in summer' or 'in spring'.
範例: Yes, we change what we eat according to the season. For example, in winter my family eats a lot more lamb because it is hearty and warming, while in summer we tend to eat more fish and salads because they are lighter and fresher. This helps us feel comfortable in different weather.

分數: 66.0建議: Use consistent tense and clearer linking to show change. Begin with a concise topic sentence, then explain reasons with specific examples and use linking words like 'because' or 'as'. Correct grammar: 'I preferred' (past), 'as I grew up' (phrase). Avoid fillers.
範例: Yes, my preferences have changed. I preferred sweets and chocolate when I was a child, but as I grew up I started to prioritise health because I became more aware of nutrition. For example, now I choose whole fruits, grilled fish and vegetables instead of sugary snacks.
× My favorite food is fruit, especially tropical fruits like mango or watermelon. I love a fruit to be sweet and full of and juicy that that are the most important criteria to fruit.
✓ My favorite food is fruit, especially tropical fruits like mango and watermelon. I love fruit to be sweet and juicy; those qualities are the most important criteria for fruit.
The original sentences have awkward adjective/adverb order and extra words ('full of and juicy', duplicate 'that that'). 'Full of' is unnecessary. Use 'mango and watermelon' for correct coordination. Use 'those qualities' to refer back to 'sweet and juicy' and 'criteria for' is the correct prepositional phrase. Also change 'a fruit' to 'fruit' for general reference.
× I love chocolate to beats when I was very young, especially when I was a small kid, umm, because I love sweet things and chocolate.
✓ I loved chocolate the most when I was very young, especially when I was a small child, because I loved sweet things and chocolate.
The sentence mixes present tense 'love' with a past time reference 'when I was very young'. Use past tense 'loved' to match the time frame. Replace informal 'beats' (incorrect) with 'the most' and use 'small child' instead of 'small kid' for clarity.
× It's with, it's something with such a special taste that, uh, knocked me off my knocked my socks off my feet.
✓ It has such a special taste that it knocked my socks off.
Original is repetitive and ungrammatical ('knocked me off my knocked my socks off my feet'). Simplify to 'It has such a special taste that it knocked my socks off.' This corrects word order and removes redundancy.
× Yes, umm, I will eat those uh, different foods to match different seasons.
✓ Yes, I eat different foods to match different seasons.
The original uses future 'will' unnecessarily for a habitual action; present simple 'eat' is appropriate. Also 'those different foods' is awkward; 'different foods' is sufficient. Remove filler words.
× For example, during winter my family and me will have much more lamb, but on other seasons we will eat fish mainly.
✓ For example, during winter my family and I eat much more lamb, but in other seasons we mainly eat fish.
Use subject pronoun 'I' (not 'me') in 'my family and I'. Habitual action uses present simple 'eat', not future 'will'. Use 'in other seasons' instead of 'on other seasons', and place 'mainly' before the verb or after subject for natural adverb placement.
× Yes, definitely. When I was a child, I prefer sweets or uh, chocolate the most.
✓ Yes, definitely. When I was a child, I preferred sweets and chocolate the most.
Time reference 'When I was a child' requires past tense 'preferred' not present 'prefer'. Also use 'sweets and chocolate' instead of 'sweets or chocolate' to sound natural.
× But as I slowly gradually growing up, I felt healthy is the most, uh, important principle to choose a food.
✓ But as I slowly and gradually grew up, I felt that healthiness was the most important principle when choosing food.
Original mixes forms: 'slowly gradually growing up' is ungrammatical. Use 'slowly and gradually grew up'. 'I felt healthy is the most important principle' is incorrect; use 'I felt that healthiness was the most important principle' and 'when choosing food' to express purpose. Alternatively 'I started to value healthy food more.'
× So I tend to uh, eat more natural and healthy food.
✓ So I tend to eat more natural, healthy food.
Remove filler 'uh' and place adjectives in natural order 'natural, healthy food'. No comma necessary but acceptable; this is a present habitual action so present tense 'tend to eat' is correct.
