What is your favourite food?
Score: 52.0Suggestion: Be specific and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence naming the favourite food, then give 1–2 specific reasons with linking words. Avoid repetition and vague phrases (e.g. "food", "no conservatives"). Use correct vocabulary like "preservatives."
Example: My favourite food is steamed fish. I prefer it because it is healthy and easy to digest; moreover, steaming preserves nutrients better than frying. For these reasons, I eat it regularly when I want a light, hygienic meal.
What kind of food did you like when you were young?
Score: 44.0Suggestion: Give a direct answer naming specific childhood favourites, then add a brief reason or comparison using linking words. Avoid filler words and correct grammar (e.g. "sugary foods", "children").
Example: When I was young I loved sugary snacks, especially candy and chocolate. Because children often prefer sweet tastes, I used to choose sweets over savory snacks after school.
Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?
Score: 50.0Suggestion: Respond directly and briefly, then explain with one clear example. Use linking words like "however" or "for example" and avoid hesitations and repetition.
Example: Not really; I usually eat whatever is available and suits my taste. For example, in winter I might choose hot soups, while in summer I prefer salads or cold noodles.
Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: This answer is clear but can be improved by adding a reason and a linking phrase to make the change logical. Use concrete examples and avoid vague phrasing.

× It is better to consume healthy foods, so I prefer healthy foods to consume.
✓ It is better to eat healthy foods, so I prefer to eat them.
The original sentence is wordy and uses an awkward infinitive phrase 'healthy foods to consume.' Simplify by using the verb 'eat' and a pronoun to avoid repetition. Keep tense/purpose consistent. Grammar Problem Type ID: 26
× One of the healthy foods which I like to consume is food.
✓ One of the healthy foods I like is steamed vegetables.
The original sentence is nonspecific and repeats 'food.' Provide a specific noun and remove unnecessary relative pronoun 'which' for a reduced relative clause: 'foods I like.' Ensure clarity and natural wording. Grammar Problem Type ID: 26
× Since it is a steamed food, it is safe to consume and hygienic.
✓ Since it is steamed, it is safe to eat and hygienic.
'Steamed food' is acceptable but 'it is steamed' is more natural. Use 'eat' instead of 'consume' for spoken English, and place adjectives correctly. 'Hygienic' describes the food; word order adjusted for fluency. Grammar Problem Type ID: 13
× No conservatives.
✓ It has no preservatives.
The original phrase 'No conservatives' is incorrect word choice. The intended word is 'preservatives.' Provide a complete clause for clarity. Grammar Problem Type ID: 26
× When I was young I preferred to consume some sugar sugary food items.
✓ When I was young, I preferred to eat sugary food items.
Use 'eat' instead of 'consume' for natural spoken English and remove redundant 'sugar sugary.' Commas improve readability. The past tense 'preferred' is correct. Grammar Problem Type ID: 5
× Umm, I I think most child would like sugary food items.
✓ Umm, I think most children would like sugary food items.
Subject 'child' should be plural 'children' to agree with 'most.' Also remove the duplicated 'I.' Grammar Problem Type ID: 27
× It is.
✓ They are.
The fragment 'It is.' is unclear; referring back to 'sugary food items' (plural), use 'They are.' Ensure complete, matching pronoun number. Grammar Problem Type ID: 26
× No, uh, I mostly eat anything which is available in front of me and my uh, taste preferences.
✓ No, I mostly eat whatever is available and suits my taste preferences.
Use 'whatever' and 'suits' for natural expression. 'Which is available in front of me' is awkward; simplify. Maintain present habitual tense. Grammar Problem Type ID: 26
× It heavily depends on my taste preferences.
✓ It largely depends on my taste preferences.
'Heavily depends' is acceptable but 'largely depends' is more idiomatic. Keep present tense. Grammar Problem Type ID: 26
× Uh, I would eat anything at any time.
✓ I can eat anything at any time.
'Would eat' suggests conditional; use 'can eat' or 'I will eat' to express general willingness. 'Can' fits the context of habitual ability. Grammar Problem Type ID: 26
× Yes, definitely.
✓ Yes, definitely.
This sentence is fine as a short response; no grammatical correction needed. Grammar Problem Type ID: 26
× In my childhood days I preferred sugary drinks and dishes, but now what I like the most is spicy foods like biryani and noodles.
✓ In my childhood I preferred sugary drinks and dishes, but now I like spicy foods such as biryani and noodles.
Remove 'days' after 'childhood' for natural phrasing, and simplify 'what I like the most is' to 'I like.' Use 'such as' rather than 'like' for examples and keep plural consistency with 'spicy foods.' Grammar Problem Type ID: 6
