Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?
Điểm: 66.0Gợi ý: Answer directly and use past vs present contrast with correct tense. Remove fillers and unclear phrases. Give a specific reason and one example of a traditional dish you now like.

× Yes, my favorite food is biryani, especially Kaci biryani.
✓ Yes, my favorite food is biryani, especially kacchi biryani.
Use correct spelling 'kacchi' (a fixed phrase 'kacchi biryani'). This is a vocabulary/word choice correction to use the standard form; sentence structure is otherwise fine.
× It's umm pepper with rice and meat.
✓ It is a spicy dish made with rice and meat.
The original uses 'pepper' incorrectly to describe flavor and is informal. Replace with clear noun phrase 'a spicy dish' and passive construction 'made with' to describe ingredients. This fixes clarity and word choice.
× I eat especially on a different occasion.
✓ I especially eat it on special occasions.
Word order and article use are incorrect. Place adverb 'especially' before the verb phrase and use plural 'special occasions' to indicate general repeated events. This matches present simple habitual tense.
× When I was young, I like simple food like fried rice or noodles.
✓ When I was young, I liked simple foods like fried rice or noodles.
The time expression 'When I was young' requires past tense. Change 'like' to past 'liked' and pluralize 'foods' or keep 'food' singular; here 'simple foods' is natural.
× I also like fast food uh than Bangladeshi traditional food.
✓ I also preferred fast food rather than traditional Bangladeshi food.
Comparison with 'than' requires comparative structure; use 'rather than' or 'more than'. Also align tense with previous past context: 'preferred'. Place adjective 'traditional' before 'Bangladeshi food'.
× In summer I like light foods like fruits, sunny yogurt.
✓ In summer I like light foods like fruit and yogurt.
'Fruits' is usually uncountable 'fruit' in general statements; 'sunny yogurt' is incorrect — likely 'plain yogurt' or just 'yogurt'. Use 'and' to connect items.
× In winter I prefer hot foods like umm umm, fresh vegetable, uh, hot noodles, uh, and also like biryani on our uh, special occasion.
✓ In winter I prefer hot foods like fresh vegetables, hot noodles, and I also like biryani on special occasions.
Use plural 'vegetables' and 'special occasions' for general habits. Remove filler words and reorder to parallel structure: list items, then add 'I also like...' to avoid awkward mixing.
× Yes, when I was young I prefer uh, fried rice fast food, but when? Right now I prefer uh, Bangladeshi traditional food because it's uh, healthier and fresh.
✓ When I was young, I preferred fried rice and fast food, but now I prefer traditional Bangladeshi food because it is healthier and fresher.
Maintain past tense 'preferred' for the childhood clause. Use 'now' for present contrast and 'prefer' in present tense. Use 'and' to join 'fried rice and fast food'. Use comparative adjectives 'healthier' and 'fresher' to describe relative qualities.
