Part 1

What is your favourite food?

Score: 84.0

Suggestion: Your answer is clear, natural and relevant with good detail about taste and personal feeling. To improve, make one concise topic sentence, avoid repetition (e.g., 'Whenever I eat this' and 'I usually eat adobo whenever my family cooks it') and add a brief specific example (when/how you eat it) using a linking word to connect ideas.

Example: I really like adobo because of its balance of salty and slightly sweet flavors, and it feels like comfort food to me. For example, whenever my family gathers on weekends we always cook adobo, so I often enjoy it with rice and a side of pickled vegetables.

What kind of food did you like when you were young?

Score: 78.0

Suggestion: Good direct response and personal anecdote. To improve, correct small grammar errors and avoid repetition ('tooth toothache'). Use one linking phrase to connect the preference and its consequence, and be slightly more specific about age or frequency.

Example: When I was a child I loved sweets—especially candies and chocolate; as a result, I once got a bad toothache because I ate chocolate every day after school.

Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: Your answer is somewhat unclear and contains filler language and repetition. To improve, give a concise topic sentence, then one specific example of seasonal change (e.g., fruits or holiday dishes). Avoid vague phrases like 'you know' and unnecessary repetition.

Example: Yes. For instance, in summer I eat more fresh fruits like mangoes and in winter my family prefers warm soups and stews, whereas during festivals we cook special dishes such as roast pork.

Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?

Score: 72.0

Suggestion: You answered directly but with tense and agreement errors. Improve by using correct tense and a clear structure: state the change, give brief reason and an example. Use linking words like 'however' or 'now' to show contrast.

Example: Yes, my favourite food has changed. As a child I preferred sweets, but now I prefer adobo because I enjoy savory flavors and family meals often include it, especially on Sundays.

Grammar

Incorrect use of pronouns

× I remember myself having a tooth toothache because I ate too much chocolate.

I remember having a toothache because I ate too much chocolate.

The reflexive pronoun 'myself' is unnecessary and incorrect here; 'remember' takes a gerund or clause without 'myself'. Also 'tooth toothache' duplicates a word; use 'toothache'. Suggestion: say 'I remember having a toothache.'

Present tense issue

× I eat different food every day.

I eat different foods every day.

The noun 'food' in this context should be plural 'foods' to indicate different kinds/items. Use plural with 'every day' when referring to various items consumed each day.

Sentence structure errors

× Although sometimes we repeated what we ate, for example, like yesterday, you know, I eat.

Although sometimes we repeat what we eat; for example, yesterday we ate the same thing.

Mixed tenses and awkward phrasing: 'repeated' (past) conflicts with present context. The sentence ends with 'I eat' which is incomplete. Use a clear tense and subject: 'we repeat' (general) or 'yesterday we ate' (specific past). Remove filler 'you know' and 'like'.

Past tense issue

× Yes, my favorite food had change from when I was a child to what I am now.

Yes, my favorite food has changed from when I was a child to now.

Incorrect past perfect 'had change' and missing past participle. Use present perfect 'has changed' to link past and present; use past participle 'changed'. Also 'to what I am now' is awkward; 'to now' or 'to the present' is better.

Present tense issue

× When I was a child my favorite food I think are sweets, but now my favorite food is adobo and I really like the taste of it.

When I was a child, I think my favorite foods were sweets, but now my favorite food is adobo and I really like its taste.

Subject-verb agreement and tense consistency: 'favorite food I think are sweets' is ungrammatical. Rearrange to 'I think my favorite foods were sweets'—use past plural 'were' and 'foods' to match 'sweets'. Also replace 'the taste of it' with the more natural 'its taste.'
