What kind of food did you like when you were young?
Candidate
When I was young, I really liked simple and comforting foods such as pasta, pizza, and homemade soups. I especially enjoyed dishes that were a bit sweet or had a rich flavor, like pancakes or pastries. At that time, I didn't pay much attention to healthy eating, so I prefer tasty food over nutritious options. However, as I have grown older, my preferences have changed and now.
Examiner
Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?
Candidate
Yes, I do eat different kinds of food depending on the season. For example, in the summer I prefer hotter meals such as salads, fresh fruits and cold dishes because they are more refreshing in hot weather. In contrast, during the winter are usually warmer and heavier food like soups and baked dishes, which help me feel more comfortable and full. Full.

Candidate
Yes, my favorite food has definitely changed since I was a child. When I was younger, I preferred fast food and sweet dishes like pizza, fries, and desserts.

× I often eat it with my family which makes it even more enjoyable.
✓ I often eat it with my family, which makes it even more enjoyable.
Comma needed before the relative pronoun 'which' to correctly link the non-restrictive relative clause to the main clause. Without the comma the sentence structure is incorrect; add a comma to improve clarity.
× At that time, I didn't pay much attention to healthy eating, so I prefer tasty food over nutritious options.
✓ At that time, I didn't pay much attention to healthy eating, so I preferred tasty food over nutritious options.
The sentence refers to past time 'At that time' and uses 'didn't pay' (past). The second clause should also be in the past ('preferred') for tense consistency.
× However, as I have grown older, my preferences have changed and now.
✓ However, as I have grown older, my preferences have changed now.
The original sentence is incomplete and ends abruptly with 'and now.' Remove 'and' to form a complete thought: 'my preferences have changed now.' Alternatively expand the sentence to state what the preferences are now. Ensure sentence completeness.
× For example, in the summer I prefer hotter meals such as salads, fresh fruits and cold dishes because they are more refreshing in hot weather.
✓ For example, in the summer I prefer lighter meals such as salads, fresh fruits, and cold dishes because they are more refreshing in hot weather.
The word 'hotter' is incorrect when describing meals suitable for summer; 'lighter' is the appropriate adjective. This is a word choice/preposition-like error affecting meaning; change to 'lighter' to match intended contrast with winter foods.
× In contrast, during the winter are usually warmer and heavier food like soups and baked dishes, which help me feel more comfortable and full.
✓ In contrast, during the winter I usually eat warmer and heavier foods like soups and baked dishes, which help me feel more comfortable and full.
The original sentence lacks a subject and has number disagreement ('food' vs 'foods'). Added subject 'I' and plural 'foods' to correct sentence structure and subject-verb agreement.
× Full.
✓ (Remove this fragment)
'Full.' is a sentence fragment and does not add information. Remove it or integrate it into the previous sentence, e.g. '..., which help me feel more comfortable and full.'
× When I was young, I really liked simple and comforting foods such as pasta, pizza, and homemade soups.
✓ When I was young, I really liked simple and comforting foods such as pasta, pizza, and homemade soup.
'Homemade soups' is acceptable, but to match parallel uncountable/collective items ('pasta, pizza') use singular 'homemade soup' or keep plural consistently. This is a minor number consistency issue; choose singular for parallelism.
