What is your favourite food?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: Be more concise and fluent. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons using linking words. Reduce filler words (uh) and avoid repeating phrases. Use more precise vocabulary (e.g. varieties, nutritious).
Example: My favourite food is sushi because it offers many varieties, such as tuna and salmon, and is very nutritious. For example, salmon provides healthy omega-3 fats, and sushi is generally light, so I feel healthy after eating it.
What kind of food did you like when you were young?
Score: 65.0Suggestion: Organize your answer with a clear topic sentence and one or two supporting reasons or examples. Correct tense consistency and finish your thought. Avoid fillers and provide a brief consequence or reflection to add depth.
Example: When I was young, I loved eating fast food, especially McDonald’s and KFC, because it tasted delicious and was convenient. For example, I would often go with my family on weekends, and I didn’t pay much attention to nutrition back then.
Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: Good structure and clear contrast. Improve by correcting small grammar issues and using smoother linking phrases (e.g. "in contrast" or "on the other hand"). Be slightly more specific about occasions or reasons.
Example: Yes. In winter I prefer warm dishes such as corn and potato soup or stews because they keep me warm. In contrast, in summer I choose lighter, colder options like chilled noodles or ice cream to feel refreshed.
Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Provide a clearer topic sentence and use correct tense forms and grammar. Explain specific changes and reasons using linking words (e.g. "because", "so"). Avoid repetition and finish the final clause with a clear idea (e.g. "to stay healthy").
Example: Yes, it has changed. When I was a child I preferred junk food like McDonald’s and KFC because it tasted good and was easy to get. Now I choose healthier options, such as grilled fish and salads, because I want to stay healthy and have more energy.
× Uh, my favorite food is sushi and because, uh, I can taste several kind of sushi and for example, tuna, salmon and something like that and it's very healthy and it's good, good for all my body.
✓ Uh, my favorite food is sushi because I can taste several kinds of sushi, for example tuna and salmon, and it's very healthy and good for my whole body.
The phrase 'several kind of sushi' uses an incorrect quantifier and noun number. 'Kind' should be plural 'kinds' or use 'types' and 'several' requires a plural noun: 'several kinds of sushi' or 'several types of sushi'. Also 'all my body' is non-idiomatic; use 'my whole body' or 'my entire body'. Combine clauses more naturally by removing the extra 'and because' redundancy. Suggestion: use 'several kinds of sushi' and 'my whole body' and simplify sentence structure. Grammar problem type ID: 14
× It tastes delicious and uh, it was very convenient to get uh.
✓ It tasted delicious and was very convenient to get.
The context asks about past preference, so verbs should be in past tense. 'It tastes' (present) is inconsistent; use 'It tasted'. Also remove filler 'uh' and duplicate auxiliary. Ensure verb forms match past-time reference. Grammar problem type ID: 10
× I often eat uh, at weekends with my friend or my family, although I didn't pay any attention to my.
✓ I often ate at weekends with my friends or my family, although I didn't pay any attention to my health.
The sentence mixes present 'I often eat' with past clause 'I didn't pay'. Since the question is about when they were young, use past tense: 'I often ate'. 'My friend' should be plural 'my friends' if speaking generally about weekend outings. The clause ends abruptly 'to my.' likely missing 'health'. Add 'health' to complete meaning.

× When I was young, I loved eating fast food, especially in McDonald's and KFC chicken.
✓ When I was young, I loved eating fast food, especially McDonald's and KFC chicken.
Use of preposition 'in' before restaurant names is unnecessary and unidiomatic here. Simply list the restaurants: 'especially McDonald's and KFC chicken'. If specifying location, use 'at McDonald's', but when listing examples, omit the preposition. Grammar problem type ID: 11
× Yes, in winter winter time I usually prefer warm hearted dishes such as corn and potato soup or beef because I they keep me warm.
✓ Yes, in winter I usually prefer warm dishes such as corn and potato soup or beef because they keep me warm.
The phrase 'winter winter time' is repetitive; use 'in winter'. 'Warm hearted dishes' is incorrect adjective choice; 'warm dishes' or 'hearty dishes' fits. The subject 'they' should not be split by 'I'; remove the stray 'I'. Sentence structure corrected for clarity and subject-verb reference: 'they keep me warm.' Suggest using 'hearty' if meaning filling and warm. Grammar problem type ID: 26
× In summer I eat lighter colder food, cold noodles or ice cream to feel refreshed.
✓ In summer I eat lighter, colder foods, such as cold noodles or ice cream, to feel refreshed.
'Lighter colder food' needs a comma and plural 'foods' to be natural: 'lighter, colder foods'. Also adding 'such as' clarifies examples. Maintain plural agreement and proper adjective order; 'lighter, colder foods' is clearer. Grammar problem type ID: 13
× Yes, definitely 'cause when I was young I prefer eating junk junkie food like McDonald and KFC chicken.
✓ Yes, definitely, because when I was young I preferred eating junk food like McDonald's and KFC chicken.
The clause refers to the past ('when I was young') so use past tense 'preferred' not present 'prefer'. 'Junk junkie food' is incorrect repetition; use 'junk food'. Restaurant name should be possessive 'McDonald's'. Grammar problem type ID: 6
× But uh, today, uh, I like eating more healthy food than those junkie food because I like to keep me.
✓ But today I prefer eating healthier food than that junk food because I want to stay healthy.
'More healthy' should be 'healthier' (comparative adjective). 'Those junkie food' is incorrect: use 'that junk food' or 'junk food'. 'I like to keep me' is ungrammatical; intended meaning is 'I want to stay healthy' or 'I want to keep fit'. Use appropriate pronoun and verb: 'I want to stay healthy.' Grammar problem type ID: 12
