Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?
Điểm: 45.0Gợi ý: Answer directly with a clear statement about change or no change, give a reason and a brief example. Use correct tense and avoid abrupt endings. Keep to one or two supporting sentences with linking words such as "because" or "however."
Ví dụ: Yes, it has changed. As a child I liked vegetables, but now I prefer sweeter foods like ice cream because I eat out more often and developed different tastes.
× Uh, I. Like the fruits? OK, sorry.
✓ Uh, I liked fruits. Sorry.
The examiner asked about past habits when the student was young, so the past tense should be used. The original has a fragmented present tense 'I. Like' which is incorrect. Use the simple past 'I liked' to indicate preference in the past. Also remove filler punctuation and keep the sentence concise.
× Uh, and. Spring I like uh, cherry blossom and summer like uh, ice cream and all time like, uh, Japanese, uh momiji and Momiji food.
✓ In spring I like cherry blossoms; in summer I like ice cream; and all year I like Japanese momiji food.
This sentence mixes tenses and has incorrect noun forms and word order. Use present simple 'I like' for habitual preferences. Use plural 'cherry blossoms' and the phrase 'all year' instead of 'all time'. Use semicolons or separate clauses for clarity. Remove filler sounds and duplicate words.
× I have changed anything so because child is eating vegetable but now I don't like vegetable. Bye.
✓ My favourite food has changed since I was a child because when I was a child I ate vegetables but now I don't like them.
The question asks whether the favourite food changed since childhood, so use present perfect 'has changed' to describe a change from past to present. The original uses 'I have changed anything' which is ungrammatical. Use 'since I was a child' and past simple 'I ate' for past habit, and refer back with the plural pronoun 'them' for 'vegetables'. Remove 'Bye' as it is unnecessary.
