What is your favourite food?
Điểm: 70.0Gợi ý: Give a slightly longer answer that includes a brief reason and one detail to make it more natural and informative. Avoid one-word answers; add a linking word and a specific detail (e.g., why you like it or how often you eat it). Keep it within 2–4 sentences.
Ví dụ: My favorite food is chow mein because I love the combination of stir-fried noodles and vegetables. Also, I enjoy the light soy-based sauce and sometimes add chicken for protein, so it feels like a complete meal.

Start with a direct answer, then briefly explain with a specific example and a linking word such as "however" or "sometimes". Mention seasonal differences if any, otherwise explain why your diet stays the same.
Ví dụ: No, I usually eat the same kinds of food throughout the year. However, sometimes I eat momos, which I consider a treat, especially when I am busy or eating out because they are quick and tasty.
× My favorite food is chow Mein.
✓ My favorite food is chow mein.
Capitalization and article: 'chow mein' is a common noun and should be in lowercase unless at start of sentence; no article is needed because the sentence names a dish in general. Also 'Mein' should be 'mein' following standard orthography. Suggestion: use lowercase for common dish names and avoid unnecessary articles when stating a general preference.
× When I was young I liked uh, sweet sweets more and spicy food.
✓ When I was young, I liked sweet things and spicy food more.
Redundancy and word choice: 'sweet sweets' is repetitive; use 'sweet things' or 'sweets'. Also word order: 'liked sweet things and spicy food more' clarifies comparative preference in the past. Added comma after introductory clause. Suggestion: remove filler 'uh' in formal responses and choose non-redundant noun phrases.
× No, usually I eat same food Sendalba Targaryen and sometimes I eat Momo.
✓ No, usually I eat the same food, Sendalba Targaryen, and sometimes I eat momo.
Missing definite article and punctuation: use 'the same food' to indicate meals that are not changing. Proper nouns and unusual names should be set off with commas. 'Momo' as a dish is a common noun here and should be lowercase unless it is being used as a proper name; if the student meant the dish name, lowercase 'momo' is appropriate. Suggestion: include 'the' before 'same food' and punctuate items in a list with commas; use consistent capitalization for dish names.
× It's kind of junk food but I like it.
✓ It's a kind of junk food, but I like it.
Article missing before 'kind': when using 'a kind of', include the indefinite article 'a'. Also add a comma before 'but' to separate clauses. Suggestion: use 'a kind of' for classification and include punctuation to improve clarity.
