Score: 62.0Suggestion: 응답이 명확하지 않고 문법 오류(시제, 관사, 단수/복수)가 있습니다. 먼저 주제 문장을 더 간결하고 확실하게 말하세요. 추가 설명은 연결어를 사용해 논리적으로 연결하고, 중복 표현(예: "best favorite")을 피하세요. 구체적인 예시(가장 좋아하는 케이크 종류나 이유)를 한두 문장으로 덧붙이면 더 설득력 있습니다.
Example: My favourite food is desserts, especially cakes and ice cream. For example, I often choose chocolate cake because I love its rich flavour, and I usually have ice cream in summer to cool down.
What kind of food did you like when you were young?

Example: No, my favourite food hasn't changed since I was a child. I still love fried chicken because of its crispy texture and familiar taste from family meals.
× My favorite food is uncertain actually.
✓ My favorite food is uncertain, actually.
The sentence needs a comma before the discourse adverb actually to separate it from the main clause and improve clarity. Add a comma and keep the adjective 'uncertain' as is. Suggestion: place commas around or before sentence-level adverbs (e.g. '...uncertain, actually.').
× I don't like eating but I usually enjoy sweetness desserts like cake or cookies, then ice cream.
✓ I don't like eating much, but I usually enjoy sweet desserts like cake or cookies, and ice cream.
Use the adverb 'much' to modify 'like' and the adjective 'sweet' (not 'sweetness') to modify 'desserts'. Also use a comma before 'but' to join independent clauses and use 'and' to connect the final item in the list. Suggestion: 'I don't like eating much, but I usually enjoy sweet desserts like cake or cookies, and ice cream.'
× It's my best favorite.
✓ It's my favorite.
The superlative modifier 'best' is redundant when used with 'favorite'. Use only 'favorite'. Suggestion: say 'It's my favorite.'
× When I was young I like to eat fried chickens.
✓ When I was young, I liked to eat fried chicken.
The time marker 'When I was young' requires past tense 'liked', not present 'like'. Also use the uncountable or singular form 'fried chicken' instead of 'fried chickens' when speaking generally. Add a comma after the introductory clause. Suggestion: 'When I was young, I liked to eat fried chicken.'
× Fried chicken is quite favorite food in Koreans and me too like enjoying fried chicken at Friday with my families.
✓ Fried chicken is a quite popular food among Koreans, and I also enjoy eating fried chicken on Fridays with my family.
Multiple preposition and article errors: use 'a' before 'quite popular food', use 'among' to indicate a group, use 'I also' instead of 'me too', use 'enjoy eating' verb phrase, use 'on Fridays' for habitual days, and 'my family' (uncountable) not 'my families'. Suggestion: 'Fried chicken is a quite popular food among Koreans, and I also enjoy eating fried chicken on Fridays with my family.'
× Yes, in South Korea summer is very hot and winter is very cold, so I like enjoy the cooler foods in summer and warmer foods in winter.
✓ Yes, in South Korea summer is very hot and winter is very cold, so I like to enjoy cooler foods in summer and warmer foods in winter.
The verb phrase should be 'like to enjoy' or 'enjoy' — do not mix 'like' with base verb without 'to' in this structure. Also 'the' before 'cooler foods' is unnecessary when speaking generally. Suggestion: '...so I like to enjoy cooler foods in summer and warmer foods in winter.'
× No, my favorite food didn't change it since I were young.
✓ No, my favorite food didn't change since I was young.
Use past tense 'was' with 'I' (not 'were') and do not include the redundant object pronoun 'it' after 'change'. Also 'didn't change' pairs with 'since I was young' to indicate continuity. Suggestion: 'No, my favorite food didn't change since I was young.'
× My favorite food is still fried chickens and I enjoy it nowadays.
✓ My favorite food is still fried chicken, and I enjoy it nowadays.
Use the uncountable/singular 'fried chicken' when referring to the dish in general rather than 'fried chickens'. The rest is fine; add a comma before 'and' joining two independent clauses. Suggestion: 'My favorite food is still fried chicken, and I enjoy it nowadays.'
