Part 1

What is your favourite food?

Score: 78.0

Suggestion: Remove repetition and tighten the response. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details (taste, ingredients, memory) using linking words. Keep it under five sentences and avoid duplicated words like “but but.”

Example: My favourite food is my grandma’s lasagna. It tastes rich and comforting because she layers it with slow-cooked tomato sauce, creamy béchamel, and a blend of cheeses. Moreover, it reminds me of childhood dinners since she made it whenever our family gathered.

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

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: Provide a complete, coherent answer: state past preference, contrast with present habit using a linking word, and give a specific reason and one example of current diet choices. Avoid incomplete sentence endings.

Example: When I was young, I loved burgers and other processed snacks. However, I avoid them now because they are unhealthy, so I follow a vegan diet that focuses on whole foods like legumes, vegetables, and grains.

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

Score: 85.0

Suggestion: This answer is clear and well-organised. To improve, add a brief specific example or reason for the seasonal choice and use a linking phrase to connect ideas smoothly. Keep to three sentences maximum.

Example: Yes. In summer I prefer light meals such as salads and fresh fruits because they are refreshing and hydrating. In winter I eat more soups and pasta since warm dishes are comforting and help me stay warm.

Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: Avoid short fragmented sentences and repetition. Give a single clear topic sentence, then two concise supporting details (specific flavours/ingredients and the memory). Finish the thought — don’t leave it trailing. Use linking words to make it coherent and under five sentences.

Example: No, my favourite food is still my grandma’s lasagna. It has a rich flavour from herbs like basil and oregano and a mix of cheeses, so it tastes incredible. Also, it reminds me of family gatherings from my childhood, which makes it special.

Grammar

Repeated word / Sentence structure errors

× I would say my grandma's lasagna is my favorite meal. This is because it not only tastes absolutely amazing but but every time I have it, it reminds me of my childhood since she used to make this meal every time I went.

I would say my grandma's lasagna is my favorite meal because it not only tastes absolutely amazing but also reminds me of my childhood; she used to make it whenever I visited.

Problem types: 26 (Sentence structure errors) and 20 (Incorrect adverb placement) and repeated word. The sentence contains a duplicated word ('but but'), an awkward clause order, and a redundant phrase ('every time' repeated). Suggest combining clauses with 'because' and using 'also' after 'but' for clarity, and replace 'every time I went' with 'whenever I visited' for natural phrasing.

Incorrect use of quantifiers / Sentence structure errors

× I used to love burgers and processed food in general. However, now I tend to avoid eating this kind of foods because they are harmful to our health. So now I am a vegan and try to eat.

I used to love burgers and processed food in general. However, now I tend to avoid eating these kinds of food because they are harmful to our health. I am now a vegan and try to eat healthily.

Problem types: 14 (Incorrect use of quantifiers) and 26 (Sentence structure errors) and 13 (Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs). 'This kind of foods' is incorrect: use 'these kinds of food' or 'this kind of food'. The final clause 'try to eat' is incomplete and needs an adverb or object; 'try to eat healthily' completes the thought. Also move 'now' to a natural position: 'I am now a vegan.'

Verb + -ing form / Present tense issue

× Yes, in the summertime I prefer eating salads and fruits. However, in the winter I find myself eating more soups and pasta. I believe that having warm soup in winter is the best meal.

Yes, in the summertime I prefer to eat salads and fruit. However, in the winter I find myself eating more soup and pasta. I believe that a warm bowl of soup in winter is the best meal.

Problem types: 8 (Verb + -ing form) and 1 (Singular and plural issue). 'Prefer eating' is acceptable but 'prefer to eat' is more natural. Use 'fruit' as an uncountable noun rather than 'fruits' in this context. 'Soups' and 'pasta' — use 'soup' (uncountable) or 'a bowl of soup' for natural phrasing. 'Having warm soup ... is the best meal' is awkward; 'a warm bowl of soup' is clearer.

Sentence structure errors / Sentence without a verb / Incorrect use of pronouns

× No, my favorite food, still the same. It is my grandma's lasagna. I love it because it tastes amazing. She uses many herbs, spices and condiments. So dazzling. It has a strong flavor also. I love it because it reminds me of my childhood and my.

No, my favorite food is still the same: it is my grandma's lasagna. I love it because it tastes amazing. She uses many herbs, spices, and condiments, which make it dazzling and strongly flavored. I love it because it reminds me of my childhood and my family.

Problem types: 26 (Sentence structure errors), 23 (Sentence without a verb), 12 (Incorrect use of pronouns). 'No, my favorite food, still the same.' lacks a verb; correct to 'is still the same.' 'So dazzling.' is a sentence fragment; combine with previous sentence. 'It has a strong flavor also.' is awkward; use 'strongly flavored' or 'which make it dazzling and strongly flavored.' The final fragment 'and my.' is incomplete; likely intended 'and my family' or 'and my grandmother.' Provide full noun to complete meaning.
