What is your favourite food?
分數: 62.0建議: Improve clarity, coherence and accuracy. Begin with a clear topic sentence, correct and consistent naming of the dish (e.g., 'tteokbokki'), and limit to 2–4 sentences. Use linking phrases to show sequence (e.g., 'When I was a child') and give one specific reason why you like it (taste, texture, memories). Avoid repetition and pronunciation/spelling errors in your answer.
範例: My favourite food is tteokbokki, a spicy Korean rice-cake dish. I first tried it when I was a child because my mother used to cook it for special family meals, and I love it for its spicy-sweet sauce and chewy texture.
What kind of food did you like when you were young?
分數: 70.0建議: Make the answer more specific and natural. Start with a direct topic sentence, then give a reason and a brief example or habit.

Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?
分數: 68.0建議: Be more precise with vocabulary and examples. Start with a clear main sentence ('Yes, I eat seasonal foods') then explain why (fresher, cheaper) and give two correct seasonal examples. If a food name is uncommon ('Mullen'), use a more familiar word or explain it. Use linking words ('for example', 'in contrast').
範例: Yes, I often eat seasonal fruits because they are fresher and less expensive. For example, I eat tangerines and strawberries in winter, while in summer I enjoy watermelon and peaches.

× My favorite food is Takuki, which is spicy rice cake food.
✓ My favorite food is Takuki, which is a spicy rice cake dish.
The phrase 'rice cake food' is awkward; 'dish' is the correct noun. Also add the article 'a' before 'spicy' to describe one kind of dish. Use of a noun (dish) makes the sentence natural and grammatical. Suggestion: Use 'a spicy rice cake dish' or 'a spicy rice cake'.
× It's kind of Korean traditional food.
✓ It's a kind of traditional Korean food.
Word order for adjectives in English places opinion/quantity before nationality and type. Also include the article 'a' before 'kind'. Correct sequence: 'a kind of traditional Korean food.' Suggestion: Use 'a kind of traditional Korean food' or 'a traditional Korean dish.'
× So when I was a little my mom made Taco key.
✓ When I was little, my mom made Takuki for me.
The phrase 'when I was a little' is ungrammatical; use 'when I was little.' The food name was inconsistent; use the established 'Takuki' and add 'for me' to clarify. Also add a comma after introductory clause. Suggestion: 'When I was little, my mom made Takuki for me.'
× That was my first time ever and still now Takpoke is my favorite food.
✓ That was my first time, and even now Takuki is my favorite food.
Awkward phrasing: 'still now' is unnatural; use 'even now' or 'still'. Maintain consistent food name 'Takuki' instead of 'Takpoke'. Add a comma before the conjunction. Suggestion: 'That was my first time, and even now Takuki is my favorite food.'
× To be honest, I really liked some vegetables such as broccoli or cabbage.
✓ To be honest, I really liked vegetables such as broccoli and cabbage.
Using 'some' before plural 'vegetables' is unnecessary in this context and 'or' suggests exclusivity; use 'and' to list examples. This makes the sentence clearer and more natural. Suggestion: 'I really liked vegetables such as broccoli and cabbage.'
× It tastes very fresh, so before I ate meals, I usually ate broccoli and cabbage with my family.
✓ They tasted very fresh, so before meals I usually ate broccoli and cabbage with my family.
Subject-verb agreement: 'vegetables' is plural so use 'they' and 'tasted'. Also 'before I ate meals' is wordy; 'before meals' is more natural. Keep past tense consistent with 'liked'. Suggestion: 'They tasted very fresh, so before meals I usually ate broccoli and cabbage with my family.'
× Yes, I think so because it's more fresh and cheaper.
✓ Yes, I think so because they are fresher and cheaper.
Comparative form: use 'fresher' (not 'more fresh') for short adjectives. Refer to 'foods' or 'produce' (plural), so use 'they are'. Keep plural agreement. Suggestion: 'They are fresher and cheaper.'
× For example, I usually eat Tangerines and strawberries in winter, while in summer I usually eat Mullen.
✓ For example, I usually eat tangerines and strawberries in winter, while in summer I usually eat mulberries.
Capitalization: common nouns should be lowercase ('tangerines'). 'Mullen' is likely a misnamed fruit; 'mulberries' fits seasonality. Ensure consistent plural nouns for habitual actions. Suggestion: 'For example, I usually eat tangerines and strawberries in winter, and mulberries in summer.'
× No, still now my favorite food is Takuki.
✓ No, my favorite food is still Takuki.
Word order: place 'still' before the verb phrase or after subject for natural emphasis. 'Still now' is unnatural; 'still' suffices. Suggestion: 'No, my favorite food is still Takuki.'
× For example, when I get stressed a lot due to my exam or test, my mom usually make Taco for me so I still like that.
✓ For example, when I get very stressed because of exams or tests, my mom usually makes Takuki for me, so I still like it.
Subject-verb agreement: third-person singular 'my mom' requires 'makes' not 'make'. Use plural 'exams or tests' for general reference and 'because of' is more natural than 'due to' in this clause. Use consistent food name 'Takuki' and replace 'that' with 'it' to refer to the food. Add commas for clarity. Suggestion: 'When I get very stressed because of exams, my mom usually makes Takuki for me, so I still like it.'
