I used to love a lot eating burger because, uh, it was kind of new thing for us and we cannot make it at home. So I used to love it a lot, especially on weekend, as well as, uh, eating fries because it was again not allowed for us to be cooked at home. So we used to enjoy it at restaurants or.

What is your favourite food?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: Be more concise, correct minor grammar and avoid repetition. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific examples and a brief reason. Use linking words (for example, such as, because) and vary vocabulary (e.g., fillings, dishes). Keep to no more than 4–5 sentences.
Example: My favourite food is dishes made with chicken and cheese. For example, I enjoy chicken-and-cheese sandwiches and savory pastries because the combination is tasty and versatile. I often eat them for lunch or as a quick snack because they’re satisfying and easy to prepare.
What kind of food did you like when you were young?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: Improve sentence structure and fluency by removing hesitations and repeating phrases. Begin with a clear topic sentence, then give specific details (when, where, why). Use linking words (for example, especially, because, so) and correct tense and article use.
Example: When I was young, I loved eating burgers and fries. They felt special because my family rarely made them at home, so we only had them at restaurants on weekends. I especially enjoyed the crispy fries and the novelty of burgers because they tasted different from our usual home-cooked meals.
Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: Reduce hesitations and repetition, and organize answer with clear contrast using linking words (for example, in summer… whereas…, meanwhile…). Give specific examples and brief reasons for preferences. Use precise vocabulary (e.g., chilled salads, smoked salami, warm stews).
Example: Yes, I eat different foods depending on the season. In summer I prefer chilled salads and light cold dishes like smoked chicken salami because they feel refreshing and tangy. In contrast, during winter I crave warm, comforting foods such as stews and sweet baked goods because they help me feel cosy.
× 'My favorite food is chicken and cheese.'
✓ 'My favourite food is chicken and cheese.'
'favorite/favourite' is a spelling variant, not a grammar error; no article needed before uncountable/compound foods. Suggestion: keep as is but use consistent regional spelling.'
× 'I love to make it with everything.'
✓ 'I love to make dishes with chicken and cheese in many ways.'
'Make it with everything' is vague and awkward. Rephrase to specify what 'it' refers to and use a plural noun for variety. Suggestion: replace 'it' with 'dishes' and be specific about variety.'
× 'Either it's sandwich or some pastries or pie.'
✓ 'Either it is a sandwich, some pastries, or a pie.'
'Either...or' list requires consistent grammatical forms and articles. 'Sandwich' needs an article 'a' and commas improve clarity. Use 'it is' instead of contraction for formality and match items in the list.'
× 'I love it so much and I can eat it every day.'
✓ 'I love it so much that I could eat it every day.'
'Can' suggests ability; 'could' or 'would' better expresses habitual desire. Also add 'that' to link clauses. Suggestion: use 'could' for expressive preference.'
× 'What kind of food did you like when you were young?'
✓ 'What kind of food did you like when you were young?'
This question sentence is correct in past tense; no change needed.'
× 'I used to love a lot eating burger because, uh, it was kind of new thing for us and we cannot make it at home.'
✓ 'I used to love eating burgers a lot because it was kind of a new thing for us and we could not make them at home.'
'Used to' correctly indicates past habit. Errors: word order 'love a lot eating' should be 'love eating ... a lot'; 'burger' should be plural 'burgers' for general reference; 'new thing' needs article 'a'; 'cannot' in past context should be 'could not'; 'it' referring to burgers -> plural 'them.' Suggestion: correct word order, pluralize, add articles, match tense.'
× 'So I used to love it a lot, especially on weekend, as well as, uh, eating fries because it was again not allowed for us to be cooked at home.'
✓ 'So I used to love them a lot, especially on weekends, and I also enjoyed eating fries because, again, we were not allowed to cook them at home.'
Problems: pronoun agreement ('it' -> 'them' for plural foods), 'on weekend' needs plural 'on weekends' or 'on the weekend', awkward 'as well as' placement, and passive/voice issues 'not allowed for us to be cooked' is incorrect — use 'we were not allowed to cook them'. Suggestion: fix pronouns, pluralize time expression, reorder for clarity, and use correct active/passive construction.'
× 'So we used to enjoy it at restaurants or.'
✓ 'So we used to enjoy them at restaurants.'
'Or' is incomplete and should be removed. Pronoun agreement: 'it' should be 'them' referring to plural foods. Suggestion: remove trailing 'or' and match pronouns.'
× 'Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?'
✓ 'Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?'
Question is correct; no change needed.'
× 'Yes I do.'
✓ 'Yes, I do.'
Add comma after 'Yes' for standard punctuation in writing. Suggestion: include comma for clarity.'
× 'For example in summer I love to eat cold things like salad or chicken salami or anything which makes me feel refreshed more so that what I I I love, specially tangy sweet and sour stuff.'
✓ 'For example, in summer I love to eat cold things like salads, chicken salami, or anything that makes me feel refreshed. I especially like tangy, sweet-and-sour foods.'
Multiple issues: missing comma after introductory phrase; 'salad' should be plural 'salads' for general reference; 'anything which' better as 'anything that'; 'refreshed more so that what I I I love' is ungrammatical — split into two sentences and use 'I especially like'; 'specially' should be 'especially'; 'tangy sweet and sour' needs hyphenation/commas and 'foods' as noun. Suggestion: split sentences, fix plurality, use 'that', and correct adverb and adjective ordering.'
× 'Meanwhile in in winter I tend to crave more for warm things and sweet things.'
✓ 'Meanwhile, in winter I tend to crave warm and sweet foods more.'
Duplication 'in in' should be single 'in'; add comma after introductory adverb; 'crave more for' is awkward — use 'crave ... more' or 'crave more'; combine adjectives and place 'more' after the object. Suggestion: remove duplicate word, reorder for natural English, and use plural 'foods.'
