Example: My favourite food is hot pot. I love the spicy soup base with thinly sliced beef and fresh leafy vegetables because we cook and eat together, which makes the meal social and lively.

What kind of food did you like when you were young?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: 回答直接但需更连贯与完整;减少口头停顿(umm)并用连接词组织原因和细节,例如‘because’后补全原因;可提一两个具体例子并对比现在的习惯。
Example: When I was young I had a sweet tooth and loved desserts such as creamy cakes and cookies because sweets always made me happy. I ate them often without worrying about calories, unlike now when I pay more attention to my diet.
Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?
Score: 80.0Suggestion: 回答清晰并有对比,但应去掉口头语并用衔接词增强逻辑,如‘therefore’或‘on the other hand’;可加入具体例子或习惯(什么时候吃、最喜欢的菜)。
Example: Yes, I definitely change my diet with the seasons. In summer I eat lighter dishes such as salads and cold noodles because it's hot and I prefer refreshing meals. On the other hand, in winter I enjoy warming foods like hot pot or thick soups to stay comfortable and warm.
Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: 回答应更有条理:先一句直接回应(Yes/No),然后用一两句说明原因和具体变化;避免重复和语法错误,并说明具体例子如菜名和口味变化。
Example: Not really. As a child I liked simple soup noodles, but as I grew older I started to prefer spicier dishes, such as spicy beef noodles with stronger seasonings. The basic idea of noodle-based comfort food has stayed the same, though the flavours have become bolder.
× If I had to close, I will go away apart.
✓ If I had to close, I would go away.
这是条件句的结构错误。原句用了与过去虚拟条件(If I had to...)不一致的主句情态助动词“will”,正确的搭配是“would”。建议学习第二类条件句的时态配对:If + 过去时,主句用 would/could/should 等。
× It is very interactive that uh, every, everyone on cooked food together and enjoy the meal with chatting.
✓ It is very interactive: everyone cooks food together and enjoys the meal while chatting.
原句中代词和动词形式混乱(every, everyone on),并且主谓不一致。应使用 everyone(每个人)作主语,动词用单数形式或加 -s(enjoys)。同时修正词序并用 while 引导同时进行的动作。建议注意代词选择并保持主谓一致。
× I always choose a spicy soup base, uh, with beef slice and leafy vegetables.
✓ I always choose a spicy soup base with beef slices and leafy vegetables.
名词复数形式错误:beef slice 应为 beef slices(肉片)以匹配习惯用法。同时逗号和短语位置调整更自然。建议注意可数名词单复数和搭配习惯。
× It is not just food, it's about.
✓ It's not just about the food.
原句不完整,缺少中心名词短语位置不当。通常表达为 It's not just about the food(不仅仅是食物),需把 about 放后并补全宾语。建议说完整的短语以表达含义。
× When I was young I had a sweet tooth.
✓ When I was young, I had a sweet tooth.
句子本身时态正确,但缺少必要的逗号来分隔时间状语,从而影响流畅性。建议在时间状语后加逗号使句子更清晰。
× I loved snacks and desserts like umm cream cakes and biscuits, cookies and because sweet food may always make me happy and.
✓ I loved snacks and desserts like cream cakes, biscuits, and cookies because sweet food always made me happy.
原句结构混乱,连接词使用不当,句尾有多余的 and,时态也要与过去一致(made)。建议按列举并用 because 引出原因,保持过去时态一致并去掉多余连词。
× And as a child I didn't care about the calories or health.
✓ As a child, I didn't care about calories or my health.
句子语法正确,但可微调:去掉定冠词 the 更自然,health 前加所有格 my 更符合习惯说法。建议注意名词前冠词和所有格的使用。
× I usually eat lighter food in summer like salads and cold noodles because it's too hot and I don't want to eat heavy meals umm.
✓ I usually eat lighter foods in summer, like salads and cold noodles, because it's too hot and I don't want heavy meals.
food 作为可数概念时应使用复数 forms 或用 food 作不可数时需改写;此处用 lighter foods 更自然。句子结构也经小幅调整以去掉冗余。建议注意可数/不可数名词及冗余短语。
× But in winter I prefer warm and comforting foods like MMM soup or hot pot.
✓ But in winter I prefer warm, comforting foods like miso soup or hot pot.
原句中的 MMM 可能为口误或错拼,应替换为合理的 soup 名称(例如 miso)。另外形容词并列时可以加逗号或连词。建议注意拼写与表达清晰。
× It matches with the weather changes.
✓ It matches the changing weather.
短语搭配错误,英语中常说 match something 或 match the ...,而不说 match with 在此情境下。将名词改为 changing weather 更自然。建议学习常用动词短语搭配。
× Not really.
✓ Not really — my favourite food hasn't changed much since I was a child.
原句作为回答虽可口语化使用,但较短缺乏信息。为了完整回应考官追问,补充完整句并使用现在完成时表示从过去到现在的变化(hasn't changed)。建议在正式回答中提供完整句子并使用恰当时态。
× When I was a child I my favorite food was simple soup noodles and as I or as I was growing up I mean I preferred umm sugar noodles with more heavy spices like umm spicy and beef meal.
✓ When I was a child, my favourite food was simple soup noodles, and as I grew up I preferred sweeter noodles and, later, spicier dishes like beef with strong spices.
原句有多处结构错误:多余或重复词(I my, as I or as I was growing up, I mean),时态和词汇不当(sugar noodles、heavy spices、spicy and beef meal 表达混乱)。修正为连贯句子,保持过去时态一致,并用更自然的短语(sweeter noodles, spicier dishes, beef)。建议练习简洁表达、避免口语填充词并保持时态一致。
