Part 1

What is your favourite food?

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: Be more concise and correct minor grammatical errors; include a clear topic sentence, one or two specific supporting details, and avoid trailing or incomplete sentences. Use linking words to organise the example (e.g., “for example” → “for instance” or “recently”). Also replace vague adjectives with more descriptive language (e.g., “very delicious” → “rich and aromatic”).

Example: My favourite food is chicken biryani because I enjoy its rich, aromatic spices combined with tender roasted chicken. For instance, I recently tried the biryani at a popular restaurant called Azebo, and I liked the fragrant rice and perfectly seasoned chicken.

What kind of food did you like when you were young?

Score: 65.0

Suggestion: Remove filler words (uh) and keep sentences to a maximum of five. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add specific details and a linking phrase. Correct tense and phrasing (e.g., “which was made in my canteen” → “from my school canteen”). Use precise vocabulary (e.g., “thin crust” and specific toppings).

Example: When I was young, I loved fast food, especially pizza from my school canteen. The pizzas had a thin, crispy crust topped with pepper, sesame seeds and fresh tomato, and they were always served piping hot.

Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?

Score: 68.0

Suggestion: Provide a clear short direct answer, then give one or two specific reasons with linking words. Fix sentence fragments and grammar (e.g., “home cooked meal” → “home-cooked meals”; finish the final idea). Avoid long run-on sentences by splitting into two sentences.

Example: No, I usually stick to home-cooked meals all year. However, at home we eat warmer, spicier dishes in winter and lighter, cooler meals in summer because it helps digestion and feels more comfortable.

Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?

Score: 62.0

Suggestion: Answer directly then support with a specific detail or short example. Remove filler words and correct unclear or incorrect phrases (e.g., “biryani white potatoes in” is confusing). Use appropriate linking words and concise descriptions of experiences.

Example: No, chicken biryani has been my favourite since childhood. I still try different versions at restaurants; for example, a kebab restaurant in Mumbai served a biryani with tender chicken and lightly spiced potatoes, which I enjoyed.

Grammar

Sentence structure errors

× It is made of flavoured rice with the roasted chicken, potatoes and tomatoes in it.

It is made of flavored rice with roasted chicken, potatoes, and tomatoes.

The original sentence has redundant prepositions and articles ('the roasted chicken' and 'in it') that make the structure awkward. Remove unnecessary 'the' and the final 'in it' to create a concise noun phrase. Also add a serial comma for clarity. Suggestion: Keep noun lists simple: 'X with Y, Z, and W.'

Past tense issue

× For example, recently I have been to famous restaurant Azebo where I tasted the biryani which was very delicious and.

For example, recently I went to the famous restaurant Azebo where I tasted a very delicious biryani.

The original mixes present perfect 'have been' with a past clause awkwardly and ends with a dangling 'and.' Use simple past 'went' to match the completed action 'tasted.' Add articles ('the famous restaurant' and 'a very delicious biryani') and remove the trailing conjunction. Suggestion: Use simple past for specific completed past events: 'I went ... where I tasted ...'.

Past tense issue

× When I was young I loved fast food very much, especially the pizza which was made in my canteen.

When I was young, I loved fast food very much, especially the pizza that was made in my canteen.

The clause describes a past habitual preference, so past tense 'loved' is correct. Replace 'which' with 'that' for restrictive clause describing the specific pizza. Add a comma after the introductory time clause. Suggestion: Use 'that' for essential relative clauses and include commas after introductory phrases.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× Uh, it has a very perfect thin crust bread flavoured uh, with pepper and sesame seeds, which was served very hot and with tomato.

It had a perfectly thin crusted bread flavored with pepper and sesame seeds, and it was served very hot with tomato sauce.

Mixes present 'has' with past context; 'perfect' should be 'perfectly' as an adverb modifying 'thin crusted.' Also 'thin crust bread' is better phrased as 'thin-crusted bread.' 'Flavoured' should directly modify the bread and finish the idea; 'served very hot and with tomato' is awkward—clarify as 'served very hot with tomato sauce.' Use past tense 'had' to match 'When I was young.' Suggestion: Maintain consistent tense (past) and use adverbs to modify adjectives ('perfectly thin-crusted').

Present tense issue

× No, I don't change my food preferences with the season because I prefer home cooked meal all year round but at home Also we eat more warm foods during winters and we eat more cold foods in summers so it helps keep our digestive system in.

No, I don't change my food preferences with the seasons because I prefer home-cooked meals all year round, but at home we eat warmer foods in winter and colder foods in summer, which helps keep our digestive system healthy.

Multiple issues: 'season' should be plural 'seasons' for general statement; 'home cooked meal' should be plural and hyphenated 'home-cooked meals'; capitalization 'Also' mid-sentence is incorrect; 'warm'/'cold' should be comparative 'warmer/colder' when comparing seasons; 'winters'/'summers' should be singular 'winter'/'summer' for general seasons or use plural consistently; sentence ended with 'in' leaving it incomplete—add 'healthy.' Also restructure with commas for clarity. Suggestion: Use plural nouns for general habits, hyphenate compound adjectives, and complete the final clause.

Present tense issue

× No, since my childhood it has always been my favorite chicken biryani.

No, since my childhood it has always been my favorite: chicken biryani.

Sentence is mostly correct but clearer with a colon to introduce the specific dish. Maintain present perfect 'has always been' to indicate a continuing state from past to present. Suggestion: Use punctuation to improve clarity when specifying an example.

Verb in the past participle form

× Also, I try different uh biryanis in different restaurants.

Also, I try different biryanis at different restaurants.

Preposition 'in' is less appropriate than 'at' when referring to restaurants. No change in verb tense is needed; use 'at' for location. Remove filler 'uh.' Suggestion: Use 'at' for activities occurring at establishments: 'try X at restaurants.'

Incorrect use of prepositions

× For example, I have been to other kebabs restaurant in Mumbai where they served biryani white potatoes in.

For example, I have been to other kebab restaurants in Mumbai where they served biryani with white potatoes.

Multiple preposition and noun issues: 'kebabs restaurant' should be 'kebab restaurants' (plural and adjective form), 'in Mumbai' is fine, but the clause 'they served biryani white potatoes in' is ungrammatical. Use 'served biryani with white potatoes.' Also use present perfect 'have been' correctly for experiences. Suggestion: Use adjective form 'kebab' and plural 'restaurants,' and place prepositions correctly: 'served X with Y.'
