What is your favourite food?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid filler words and tense errors (use present simple: 'I always order').
Example: I love burgers. I always order them at restaurants because I enjoy the combination of a juicy beef patty and melted cheese, and the flavours work well with fresh lettuce and sauce.

× My favorite food is burger, uh, because whenever I go out in a restaurant, I always used to order burger because, uh, in burger there is a Patty, cheese.
✓ My favorite food is a burger because whenever I go out to a restaurant, I always order a burger; it has a patty and cheese.
Error type: article errors (ID 22). 'burger' is a countable singular noun and needs the indefinite article 'a'. Use 'a restaurant' rather than 'in a restaurant'. 'Always used to order' is incorrect for habitual present; use 'always order'. 'In burger there is a Patty, cheese' is awkward and ungrammatical; revise to 'it has a patty and cheese'. Also lower-case common nouns like 'patty'. Suggestion: Use articles with singular countable nouns and prefer simple present for current habitual actions.
× Uh, when I was young, I like to eat chow Mein.
✓ When I was young, I liked to eat chow mein.
Error type: present tense issue (ID 6). The time frame 'when I was young' is past, so the verb should be in past tense 'liked', not present 'like'. Suggestion: Match verb tense to the time reference.
× So I actually don't know why I am so love that charming because I think for the noodles, for the vegetable, for the prawn chicken that mixed with the noodles, I just love the taste of that.
✓ I actually don't know why I love it so much, because I like the noodles, vegetables, and prawns or chicken mixed with the noodles; I just love that taste.
Error type: incorrect use of pronouns (ID 12) and sentence structure issues. 'I am so love that charming' is ungrammatical: 'love' should be used as a verb with object 'it' and 'so much' as modifier. 'For the noodle(s) ... that mixed' is incorrect; use plural nouns and a proper clause or list. Suggestion: Use 'love it so much' and a clear list: 'noodles, vegetables, and prawns or chicken mixed with the noodles.'
× So that's why I always like to have.
✓ So that's why I always like to have it.
Error type: sentence structure errors (ID 26). The verb 'have' needs a direct object; 'it' (referring to chow mein) is missing. Suggestion: Include the object after 'have' when referring back to something previously mentioned.
× It is actually happened on some occasions, on some festivals.
✓ It actually happens on some occasions and festivals.
Error type: incorrect use of the definite article (ID 17) and tense. 'It is actually happened' mixes passive and past participle incorrectly. Use simple present 'happens' to indicate a habitual occurrence. Also combine phrases for clarity. Suggestion: Use 'happens' for habitual events and avoid unnecessary articles.
× So in our tradition that many occasion, many festival, we have to make different type of foods based on that occasion.
✓ In our tradition, on many occasions and festivals, we make different types of food based on the occasion.
Error type: incorrect use of quantifiers (ID 14). 'many occasion, many festival' should be plural 'many occasions and festivals'. 'Different type of foods' should be 'different types of food' (plural forms). Also 'we have to make' can be simplified to 'we make'. Suggestion: Use plural nouns with 'many' and match 'type/types' with noun number.
× So we will have to eat different foods in different occasions.
✓ So we will have to eat different foods on different occasions.
Error type: singular and plural issue (ID 1). Preposition 'in' is incorrect with 'occasions' here; use 'on different occasions'. The plural 'occasions' is correct; ensure appropriate preposition usage.
× Yes, definitely it is when I was child my mother uh doesn't allowed me to eat umm fast food like junk food.
✓ Yes, definitely: when I was a child my mother didn't allow me to eat fast food like junk food.
Error type: past tense issue (ID 5). Mixed tenses and incorrect verb forms: 'doesn't allowed' is wrong—use past 'didn't allow' because the time frame 'when I was a child' is past. Also include article 'a' before 'child'. Suggestion: Use past simple 'didn't allow' for past habits of other people.
× Uh, she always tell me that fast food is not good for our health.
✓ She always told me that fast food was not good for our health.
Error type: third person singular issue (ID 2) and tense consistency. For past habits, use past simple 'told' rather than present 'tell', and match the reported content to past 'was'. Suggestion: Keep tense consistent when reporting past events.
× So that time I always used to know all her instruction, but now I already.
✓ At that time I always used to follow all her instructions, but now I don't anymore.
Error type: verb + -ing form (ID 8) and sentence structure errors. 'Used to know all her instruction' is incorrect: 'used to follow her instructions' conveys the intended habitual past action. 'Instruction' should be plural 'instructions'. The ending 'but now I already' is incomplete; revise to 'but now I don't anymore' or 'but now I don't.' Suggestion: Use correct collocations like 'follow instructions' and complete the contrast clause.
