What is your favourite food?
考生
As a Taurus myself, I do not discriminate when it comes to food. I enjoy most of it and would happily eat it all. I find it hard to pick a specific food as my favorite one, but if I were to choose one, I would say sushi.
考官
What kind of food did you like when you were young?
考生
Like many children, I swore by fast food and I would often convince my mom to get his Burger King or McDonald's because obviously what child is going to deny themselves a good burger?
考官
Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?
考生
I've definitely noticed a pattern within myself. During the hot summer weathers. I definitely eat more fruits than I eat full meals. It's probably because it's not very enjoyable to eat hot scowling meals when you can just have a nice cold piece of watermelon.
考官
Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?
考生
Well, unfortunately for you, I don't happen to remember my favorite show at Favorite Food from when I was a child. But I do know when my favorite food is now sushi. So if I were to accept a burger as a favorite food of mine as a child, I would definitely say it's changed over the years.

✓ Like many children, I swore by fast food and I would often convince my mom to get me Burger King or McDonald's because obviously what child is going to deny themselves a good burger?
The sentence uses the wrong pronoun 'his' to refer to the speaker; it should be 'me' because the speaker is the object of the verb 'get'. Replace 'his' with 'me' to match the first-person perspective. Also ensure consistency in pronoun case: use object form after 'get'.
× During the hot summer weathers. I definitely eat more fruits than I eat full meals.
✓ During the hot summer I definitely eat more fruits than full meals.
The original has a sentence fragment 'During the hot summer weathers.' and uses the plural 'weathers' incorrectly. Combine into one sentence and use the uncountable/plural-appropriate phrasing 'hot summer' or 'hot summers'. Simplify the comparison to 'eat more fruits than full meals' to avoid repetition and improve parallel structure.
× It's probably because it's not very enjoyable to eat hot scowling meals when you can just have a nice cold piece of watermelon.
✓ It's probably because it's not very enjoyable to eat hot, scalding meals when you can just have a nice cold piece of watermelon.
The word 'scowling' is incorrect in this context; the correct adjective is 'scalding' to describe very hot food. Add a comma between 'hot' and 'scalding' for clarity. 'Scalding' is an adjective describing temperature, not 'scowling' which means facial expression.
× Well, unfortunately for you, I don't happen to remember my favorite show at Favorite Food from when I was a child.
✓ Well, unfortunately for you, I don't happen to remember my favorite food from when I was a child.
The original contains extraneous words 'show at Favorite Food' that are incorrect and confuse meaning. Remove them to restore the intended phrase 'my favorite food'. Ensure coherence by keeping only relevant noun phrase.
× But I do know when my favorite food is now sushi.
✓ But I do know that my favorite food now is sushi.
The sentence's word order is awkward. Use the correct present tense declarative order 'that my favorite food now is sushi' or 'my favorite food is now sushi'. This preserves present-tense meaning and natural English word order.
× So if I were to accept a burger as a favorite food of mine as a child, I would definitely say it's changed over the years.
✓ So if I were to accept that a burger was my favorite food as a child, I would definitely say it has changed over the years.
The conditional refers to a past state (childhood), so 'was' should be used for the subordinate clause. Use 'it has changed' to indicate change up to the present. This aligns past reference with present perfect for effects continuing to now.
