Part 1
Examiner
What is your favourite food?
Candidate
I like a lot of food such as ice cream, sweet and so on, but my favorite I like bad is chocolate because it's so sweet and I can eat it after a long stressful day. I feel more comfortable and I can reduce my stress.
Examiner
What kind of food did you like when you were young?
Candidate
When I were young, I realized sweet food, especially chocolate and cake, because this can help me relax and feel happier after a long day at school. But often it is in the afternoon and in the evening.
Examiner
Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?
Candidate
Of course, in summer I prefer ice cream or cold drink because they are refreshing and cool me down on hot days. In winter, I usually eat hot disease like noodle soup or Stew because they warm me up and feel comforting on chilly day.
Examiner
Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?
Candidate
MMM no, my favorite food hasn't changed. I still love chocolate, but I watch eyes. My mother often gave me chocolates as a little treat, so I have kept that taste into adulthood.

Score: 55.0Suggestion: Cần sửa ngữ pháp, trật tự từ và làm câu ngắn gọn, rõ ràng hơn; tránh từ lặp và cụm không tự nhiên (ví dụ “I like bad is”). Bổ sung liên từ để mạch lạc (because, so) và thêm một句 khẳng định chủ đề ở đầu. Giữ tối đa 4-5 câu và dùng từ vựng phù hợp như "comforting" hay "treat".
Example: My favourite food is chocolate. I enjoy it because it’s comforting and very sweet. After a stressful day, I often eat a small piece of chocolate to relax. It always feels like a little treat and helps me unwind.

Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?
Score: 52.0Suggestion: Loại bỏ tiếng lắp ("MMM") và sửa cấu trúc không rõ ràng ("I watch eyes" không hợp nghĩa). Nên trả lời trực tiếp, giải thích ngắn gọn lý do duy trì sở thích và đưa ví dụ cụ thể. Dùng thì hiện tại hoàn thành cho sự thay đổi từ quá khứ tới nay (hasn't changed).
Example: No, my favourite food hasn’t changed since childhood. I still love chocolate because my mother often gave me chocolates as a little treat when I was young. That habit made me keep the same taste into adulthood.
× I like a lot of food such as ice cream, sweet and so on, but my favorite I like bad is chocolate because it's so sweet and I can eat it after a long stressful day.
✓ I like a lot of foods such as ice cream and sweets, but my favorite is chocolate because it's very sweet and I can eat it after a long stressful day.
Use plural for countable nouns when speaking generally (foods, sweets). Remove redundant phrases ('I like bad'). Use 'very' instead of 'so' for more natural emphasis here. Maintain sentence clarity by placing the subject and verb together. Vietnamese: Dùng danh từ số nhiều cho danh từ đếm được khi nói chung (foods, sweets). Loại bỏ cụm từ thừa ('I like bad'). Dùng 'very' thay vì 'so' để nhấn mạnh tự nhiên hơn. Giữ cấu trúc câu rõ ràng bằng cách đặt chủ ngữ và động từ cạnh nhau.
× When I were young, I realized sweet food, especially chocolate and cake, because this can help me relax and feel happier after a long day at school.
✓ When I was young, I liked sweet foods, especially chocolate and cake, because they helped me relax and feel happier after a long day at school.
Use past tense 'was' for singular subject 'I' (was not were). 'Realized' is incorrect here; use 'liked' to express preference in the past. Match plural 'foods' and use plural pronoun 'they' and past 'helped' to keep tense consistent. Vietnamese: Dùng quá khứ 'was' cho chủ ngữ số ít 'I'. 'Realized' không đúng ngữ cảnh; dùng 'liked' để diễn tả sở thích trong quá khứ. Dùng số nhiều cho 'foods' và đại từ số nhiều 'they' cùng động từ quá khứ 'helped' để giữ nhất quán thì.
× But often it is in the afternoon and in the evening.
✓ But I often ate them in the afternoon and evening.
Original sentence lacks a clear subject and tense. Place adverb 'often' before the main verb 'ate' for natural word order in past tense. Remove redundant 'in' before 'evening.' Vietnamese: Câu gốc thiếu chủ ngữ và thì rõ ràng. Đặt trạng từ 'often' trước động từ chính 'ate' để có trật tự từ tự nhiên ở thì quá khứ. Bỏ 'in' thừa trước 'evening'.
× Of course, in summer I prefer ice cream or cold drink because they are refreshing and cool me down on hot days.
✓ Of course, in summer I prefer ice cream or cold drinks because they are refreshing and cool me down on hot days.
Use plural 'drinks' when speaking generally. The rest of the sentence is correct and tense matches habitual preference. Vietnamese: Dùng danh từ số nhiều 'drinks' khi nói chung. Phần còn lại đúng và thì phù hợp với sở thích thường xuyên.
× In winter, I usually eat hot disease like noodle soup or Stew because they warm me up and feel comforting on chilly day.
✓ In winter, I usually eat hot dishes like noodle soup or stew because they warm me up and feel comforting on chilly days.
'Disease' is wrong word; use 'dishes'. Lowercase 'stew' unless a proper noun. Use plural 'days' and plural 'dishes' for generalization. Maintain plural agreement with 'they.' Vietnamese: 'Disease' là từ sai; nên dùng 'dishes'. 'Stew' viết thường. Dùng 'days' số nhiều và 'dishes' số nhiều để diễn đạt chung. Duy trì sự phù hợp số nhiều với 'they'.
× MMM no, my favorite food hasn't changed. I still love chocolate, but I watch eyes.
✓ No, my favorite food hasn't changed. I still love chocolate, but I outgrew some childhood habits.
Remove filler 'MMM'. 'Hasn't changed' is correct present perfect. 'I watch eyes' is ungrammatical and unclear; replace with a clear statement such as 'I outgrew some childhood habits' to convey change in behavior. Ensure tense consistency. Vietnamese: Bỏ từ đệm 'MMM'. 'Hasn't changed' đúng thì hiện tại hoàn thành. 'I watch eyes' sai ngữ pháp và không rõ nghĩa; thay bằng câu rõ ràng như 'I outgrew some childhood habits' để diễn đạt thay đổi trong hành vi. Giữ nhất quán về thì.
× My mother often gave me chocolates as a little treat, so I have kept that taste into adulthood.
✓ My mother often gave me chocolates as a little treat, so I have kept that taste into adulthood.
Change not necessary for grammar if meaning intended: past habit 'gave' and present perfect 'have kept' is acceptable. Ensure 'taste' refers to preference; you may say 'so I have kept that preference into adulthood' for clarity. Vietnamese: Cấu trúc 'gave' (thói quen quá khứ) và 'have kept' (hiện tại hoàn thành) chấp nhận được. Để rõ nghĩa hơn, có thể dùng 'preference' thay cho 'taste'.
