Honestly speaking, I love to have biryani because it's my favorite food. It's a traditional food of Pakistan and most of the people in Pakistan love to have it because of the spices, the aroma and the taste it had.

Examiner

Honestly speaking, when I was young I love to head burger. I liked it most because burger has a natural balance of taste, a pure and a small lighted spices. I love it when my mother makes it for me.

Examiner

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

Frankly speaking, no, because our country has very similar weather throughout the year, mostly summer last round but and two to three months of winter only. So that's why we don't change our food.

Part 1

What is your favourite food?

Score: 72.0

Suggestion: Be more concise and correct grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repeating phrases like “honestly speaking,” and use present-tense verbs consistently. Add one or two specific details about why you like biryani (e.g., ingredients, occasions) using a linking phrase.

Example: My favourite food is biryani. I especially enjoy the fragrant basmati rice mixed with tender meat and spices like cardamom and cinnamon, which give it a rich aroma. For example, my family prepares it for celebrations, and I love the blend of flavours and the slightly spicy taste.

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

Score: 58.0

Suggestion: Use correct past tense and clearer vocabulary. Start with a past-tense topic sentence, correct word choice (e.g., ‘eat’ not ‘head’), and give one specific reason or memory. Avoid repeating filler phrases and keep to three sentences maximum.

Example: When I was young, I loved eating burgers. My mother made simple homemade burgers with lightly seasoned patties and fresh vegetables, which tasted comforting. I remember sharing them with my siblings after school, and that made them even more special.

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

Score: 65.0

Suggestion: Be clearer and more concise. Begin with a direct answer, then briefly explain with a clear reason and a linking phrase (e.g., ‘because’). Correct grammar and reduce redundant words. If possible, contrast briefly what might change in other countries for comparison.

Example: No, I don't usually change my diet during the year because Pakistan has a mostly warm climate with only a short winter. As a result, seasonal ingredients and foods are less varied here than in countries with four distinct seasons.

Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: Use consistent tense and avoid repetition. Start with a direct answer, then give one or two precise reasons and a brief personal detail. Replace vague phrases like “wild spices” with specific descriptions (e.g., ‘peppery seasoning’), and keep sentences grammatical and concise.

Example: No, my favourite food hasn't changed — it's still burgers. I enjoy the well-balanced flavours and the seasoned patty my mother makes, which has a slightly peppery taste and fresh toppings. I still prefer her homemade burgers because they remind me of family meals.

Grammar

Verb in the past participle form

× It's a traditional food of Pakistan and most of the people in Pakistan love to have it because of the spices, the aroma and the taste it had.

It's a traditional food of Pakistan and most people in Pakistan love to have it because of the spices, the aroma and the taste it has.

The verb 'had' is past tense but the sentence refers to a current quality of the food, so the present perfect/present simple form 'has' (present simple) is appropriate. Use present tense when describing ongoing characteristics. Also 'most of the people' is wordy; 'most people' is more natural.

Past tense issue

× Honestly speaking, when I was young I love to head burger.

Honestly speaking, when I was young I loved to have burgers.

The context signals past time ('when I was young'), so the verb should be in the past tense: 'loved' not 'love'. 'to head burger' is incorrect: likely intended 'to have burgers' or 'to have a burger'. Use plural or article as needed for general statements about liking food in the past.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× I liked it most because burger has a natural balance of taste, a pure and a small lighted spices.

I liked it most because the burger has a natural balance of taste, pure and mild spices.

Adjective use is incorrect: 'a pure and a small lighted spices' is ungrammatical. Use 'pure' (adjective) and 'mild' or 'light' to describe 'spices', and match number: 'spices' (plural) with adjectives without 'a'. Also add the definite article 'the' before 'burger' for a specific item or keep it general as 'burgers have'.

Present tense issue

× I love it when my mother makes it for me.

I love it when my mother makes it for me.

This sentence is correct. It uses present simple to express a habitual or current preference, which matches the context. No correction needed.

Sentence structure errors

× Frankly speaking, no, because our country has very similar weather throughout the year, mostly summer last round but and two to three months of winter only.

Frankly speaking, no, because our country has very similar weather throughout the year: mostly summer with only two to three months of winter.

The original sentence has disfluent structure and extra words ('last round but and') that make it ungrammatical. Rephrase to a clear clause: 'mostly summer with only two to three months of winter' eliminates unnecessary words and clarifies meaning.

Present tense issue

× So that's why we don't change our food.

So that's why we don't change our food.

This sentence correctly uses present simple to state a general habit or policy, so no grammatical change is required.

Present tense issue

× Honestly no. Throughout my life my favorite food is burger.

Honestly, no. Throughout my life my favorite food has been the burger.

When talking about an unchanged preference spanning from past to present, use present perfect 'has been' rather than simple present 'is'. Also include 'the' before 'burger' or use plural 'burgers' depending on intended meaning.

Verb in the present participle form

× From my childhood days to nowadays, burger is the most loved because of its wild spices, balance, taste.

From my childhood to the present, the burger has been my favorite because of its bold spices, balance and taste.

'From my childhood days to nowadays' is awkward; 'to the present' or 'nowadays' alone is better. 'Most loved' is unnatural for personal preference; 'my favorite' or 'has been my favorite' fits. 'Wild spices' is odd; 'bold' or 'strong' is clearer. Use parallel list with commas and 'and' before the last item.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× When my mother cooks it for me, I love to eat burger of my mother.

When my mother cooks it for me, I love to eat my mother's burgers.

'Burger of my mother' is an awkward literal translation. Use possessive form 'my mother's burgers' or 'my mother's burger' depending on singular/plural. Also 'I love to eat' is acceptable; 'I love eating' is an alternative. Ensure noun number and possessive form are correct.
