Part 1

Examiner

What is your favourite food?

Candidate

My favorite feed is pizza. This is mainly because I find pizza quite simple to me and also delicious. With different types of toppings, we can just basically create our preferred pizza. I think pizza comes from Italy, which is not my country, but.

Examiner

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

Candidate

When I was young, I used to like Indonesian food so much. Actually, up until now, I still prefer Indonesian food. But as I grew up, I was more exposed to different types of food from different countries. That's why as of now, I like pizza.

Examiner

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

Candidate

Yes, I do, because I believe food is not only stable but also linked to festivity. For example, during Eid, the celebration of end of Ramadan in Indonesia, we would cook a special type of food, different dishes, mainly from this region in Indonesia called Padang.

Examiner

Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?

Candidate

Yes it has. I think this is mainly because when I was little I independent on my parents so it would depend on what they cooked during the days, what I would eat daily. But now, once I'm an adult now I cook for myself so therefore I can explore different cuisine.

Part 1

What is your favourite food?

Score: 72.0

Suggestion: Improve accuracy and natural phrasing, reduce redundancy, and add a clear topic sentence. Correct word choice (feed → food) and simplify sentences. Keep answer within 3–4 sentences, use linking words like 'because' and 'also' logically, and give one specific example of a topping or style.

Example: My favourite food is pizza because it’s tasty and easy to customise. For example, I like a thin-crust Margherita with fresh basil and mozzarella, which feels light but satisfying. I especially enjoy trying different toppings when I eat out.

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

Score: 78.0

Suggestion: Make the answer more concise and use clear linking to show change over time. Begin with a direct topic sentence about childhood preference, then explain how exposure led to change, using connectors like 'however' or 'as I grew older'. Provide a specific Indonesian dish to make content more vivid.

Example: As a child I loved Indonesian food, especially nasi goreng, which my family cooked often. However, as I grew older I became exposed to international cuisines, so I now also enjoy foods like pizza when I eat out.

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

Score: 80.0

Suggestion: Clarify and simplify language (avoid 'not only stable') and give one or two specific examples of seasonal dishes. Use linking phrases like 'for example' and 'during' appropriately and keep it to 2–3 sentences.

Example: Yes. For example, during Eid we prepare special dishes from Padang, such as rendang and ketupat, which we only make for festive occasions. Seasonal celebrations like this influence what we cook and eat.

Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?

Score: 74.0

Suggestion: Improve grammar and coherence: start with a clear topic sentence, then explain reasons. Correct tense and phrasing (e.g., 'I depended on my parents' not 'independent on'). Use linking words like 'because' and 'so' and give a brief specific example of a cuisine you explored.

Example: Yes, it has changed because I depended on my parents' cooking as a child. Now that I cook for myself, I can try cuisines like Italian and Mexican, so my tastes have broadened.

Grammar

× My favorite feed is pizza.

My favorite food is pizza.

Grammar problem type ID:13 Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs. The word 'feed' is incorrect in this context; the correct noun is 'food'. Use appropriate vocabulary: 'food' not 'feed'.

× This is mainly because I find pizza quite simple to me and also delicious.

This is mainly because I find pizza quite simple and also delicious.

Grammar problem type ID:12 Incorrect use of pronouns / 26 Sentence structure errors. The phrase 'simple to me' is unidiomatic here. Remove 'to me' because 'find' already expresses personal opinion, and use 'simple' without a pronoun. Suggestion: 'I find pizza quite simple and delicious.'

× With different types of toppings, we can just basically create our preferred pizza.

With different types of toppings, we can basically create our preferred pizza.

Grammar problem type ID:20 Incorrect adverb placement. The adverb 'basically' should come before the verb phrase 'create' but after the subject to sound natural. Also remove redundant 'just'. Suggestion: avoid stacking redundant adverbs.

× I think pizza comes from Italy, which is not my country, but.

I think pizza comes from Italy, which is not my country.

Grammar problem type ID:26 Sentence structure errors. The sentence ends with an incomplete clause 'but' without continuation. Remove the trailing 'but' or complete the thought. Suggestion: finish the sentence or omit 'but'.

× When I was young, I used to like Indonesian food so much.

When I was young, I used to like Indonesian food very much.

Grammar problem type ID:13 Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs. 'So much' is colloquial; 'very much' is more appropriate in this formal response. Alternatively keep 'so much' in informal speech. No tense issue.

× Actually, up until now, I still prefer Indonesian food.

Actually, up until now, I still prefer Indonesian food.

Grammar problem type ID:6 Present tense issue. Sentence is acceptable but slight style improvement: 'Even now, I still prefer Indonesian food.' No grammatical correction required.

× But as I grew up, I was more exposed to different types of food from different countries.

But as I grew up, I became more exposed to different types of food from other countries.

Grammar problem type ID:6 Present tense issue / 27 Subject-verb agreement. 'Was more exposed' is passable but 'became more exposed' is more natural. Also 'different countries' -> 'other countries' avoids repetition.

× That's why as of now, I like pizza.

That's why, now, I like pizza.

Grammar problem type ID:20 Incorrect adverb placement. 'As of now' is wordy; placing 'now' after the clause is clearer. Suggestion: 'That's why I like pizza now.'

× Yes, I do, because I believe food is not only stable but also linked to festivity.

Yes, I do, because I believe food is not only a staple but is also linked to festivities.

Grammar problem type ID:13 Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs / 11 Incorrect use of prepositions. 'Stable' is wrong word choice; 'staple' (a basic food) is correct. 'Festivity' should be plural 'festivities' or 'celebrations'. Use parallel structure 'not only... but also...'. Suggestion: 'not only a staple but also linked to festivities.'

× For example, during Eid, the celebration of end of Ramadan in Indonesia, we would cook a special type of food, different dishes, mainly from this region in Indonesia called Padang.

For example, during Eid, the celebration at the end of Ramadan in Indonesia, we would cook special dishes, mainly from the Padang region.

Grammar problem type ID:11 Incorrect use of prepositions / 1 Singular and plural issue / 26 Sentence structure errors. Use 'at the end of Ramadan' not 'of end of Ramadan'; 'special dishes' plural fits better than 'a special type of food, different dishes' which is redundant. Place 'Padang region' naturally.

× Yes it has.

Yes, it has.

Grammar problem type ID:20 Incorrect adverb placement / 26 Sentence structure errors. Missing comma after 'Yes'. Add comma for correct punctuation in spoken transcript representation.

× I think this is mainly because when I was little I independent on my parents so it would depend on what they cooked during the days, what I would eat daily.

I think this is mainly because when I was little I depended on my parents, so it depended on what they cooked each day and what I ate daily.

Grammar problem type ID:5 Past tense issue / 27 Subject-verb agreement. 'I independent on' is incorrect; correct verb is 'I depended on'. Maintain past tense consistently: 'it depended' and 'what I ate daily'. Also improve phrasing 'each day' instead of 'during the days.'

× But now, once I'm an adult now I cook for myself so therefore I can explore different cuisine.

But now, as an adult, I cook for myself, so I can explore different cuisines.

Grammar problem type ID:6 Present tense issue / 13 Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs. Remove redundant 'now' and incorrect 'once I'm an adult now'. Use 'as an adult' or 'now that I'm an adult'. 'Different cuisine' should be plural 'different cuisines'. Add comma before 'so' and adjust verb forms.
