What is your favourite food?
Score: 52.0Suggestion: Bạn nên trả lời trực tiếp vào câu hỏi bằng một câu chủ đề rõ ràng, tránh nhiều tiếng ậm ừ (umm) và sửa lỗi từ vựng (ví dụ 'free food' và 'cushions' sai nghĩa). Giữ câu ngắn gọn (1–3 câu), dùng từ vựng phù hợp như 'not picky', 'variety of dishes' và nêu lý do ngắn gọn cho lựa chọn của bạn. Ngoài ra, dùng liên từ đơn giản nếu bổ sung chi tiết (e.g., 'because', 'so').
Example: I don't have a single favourite food because I'm not a picky eater. I enjoy a variety of dishes depending on my mood, because sometimes I prefer something light and other times I want something rich and filling.
What kind of food did you like when you were young?
Score: 44.0Suggestion: Trả lời nên bắt đầu bằng một câu chủ đề trực tiếp và sửa ngữ pháp (thời quá khứ), tránh từ chung chung như 'yummy' và 'interesting' nếu không kèm chi tiết. Nêu cụ thể loại đồ ăn vặt và hoàn cảnh (ví dụ: bánh, kẹo, trái cây) và dùng liên từ như 'because' hoặc 'so' để giải thích lý do. Chú ý thì động từ (used to / I often ate) và giới từ (at school).
Example: When I was young, I used to love sweet snacks like cakes and candies because they were easy to eat and made break time at school more fun. I often bought them from the canteen during recess.
Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?
Score: 40.0Suggestion: Câu trả lời cần rõ ràng: 'Yes' hoặc 'No' kèm câu giải thích. Tránh nói lủng củng và hoàn thiện ý (câu hiện bị bỏ dở). Nêu ví dụ cụ thể về món ăn theo mùa (ví dụ: chè in summer, hot soups in winter) và dùng liên từ như 'for example' hoặc 'such as'. Hạn chế lặp từ và ậm ừ.
Example: Yes, I do. In Vietnam we eat lighter dishes like cold noodles or fruit in summer, and warmer soups or stews in winter. For example, I enjoy chilled sweet soups in hot months and hot pho when it's cold.
Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?
Score: 48.0Suggestion: Trả lời nên dùng thì đúng (present perfect/ present simple) và tránh lặp từ. Bắt đầu bằng câu chủ đề rõ ràng ('Yes, it has changed'). Giải thích cụ thể lý do thay đổi (sức khỏe, thói quen) và đưa ví dụ về loại rau hoặc món ăn lành mạnh. Dùng liên từ như 'because' và 'so' để làm rõ nguyên nhân và kết quả.
Example: Yes, it has changed. As I grew older I started eating more vegetables because I wanted to be healthier and maintain my weight, so now I often choose salads, steamed greens, or vegetable soups instead of fried snacks.
× Well I don't really have a free food umm because I'm not a picky umm eater and I try to umm enjoy different cushions so depending on my mood.
✓ Well, I don't really have a favorite food because I'm not a picky eater and I try to enjoy different cuisines depending on my mood.
Use 'a' with singular countable nouns: 'a favorite food' rather than 'a free food'. 'Cushions' is incorrect word choice; use 'cuisines'. Remove unnecessary fillers and add commas for clarity.
× Actually when I was a kid I always loved snacks because it is very yummy and interesting.
✓ Actually, when I was a kid I always loved snacks because they were very yummy and interesting.
Subject 'snacks' is plural, so use plural pronoun 'they' and past tense 'were' to match 'was a kid' and 'always loved'. Also 'interesting' is acceptable but 'tasty' or 'fun' may be more natural.
× I usually eat snacks on in the school.
✓ I usually ate snacks at school.
For past habitual action (when referring to childhood) use past tense 'ate'. Preposition is 'at school' not 'on in the school'. Remove extra article 'the' unless specifying a particular school.
× Well, as you know, in Vietnam, there are various dishes, so you can easily choose, uh, different food for, uh, many season in per day.
✓ Well, as you know, in Vietnam there are various dishes, so you can easily choose different foods for many seasons of the year.
Remove extra commas around 'in Vietnam'. Use plural 'foods' to match 'various dishes'. 'Many seasons in per day' is incorrect; use 'many seasons of the year' or 'throughout the year'. Adjust word order for clarity.
× So, umm, yes, of course, if you.
✓ So yes, of course I do.
Original sentence is incomplete. Complete the thought with a proper clause: 'I do' responds to the previous question. Remove fillers for clarity.
× Yes, of course, umm, when I grow up more I tend to eat veg, uh, vegetables because umm, it's helped me fit my body, my body and keep my shape.
✓ Yes, of course. As I grew up, I tended to eat vegetables because they helped me stay fit and keep my shape.
Match past reference 'when I grew up' with past tense 'tended' and 'helped'. Use plural 'vegetables' and plural pronoun 'they'. 'Fit my body' is unnatural; use 'stay fit'. Remove repetition and fillers for clarity.
