Điểm: 76.0Gợi ý: 답변이 명확하고 자연스럽지만 문법과 표현에서 다듬을 부분이 있습니다. 예를 들어 중복 표현(“kind of spicy food”, “almost at least once a week”)을 줄이고, 토픽 문장 뒤에 이유나 구체적 경험을 한두 문장으로 덧붙이면 더 설득력 있는 답변이 됩니다. 또한 연결어(for example, because)나 구체적 어휘(spicy, savory, toppings)를 사용해 답변을 풍부하게 하세요.
Ví dụ: My favourite food is Korean ramen because I love the spicy broth and chewy noodles. For example, I usually add an egg and vegetables to make it more filling, and I eat it about once a week when I want something quick and comforting.
What kind of food did you like when you were young?
Điểm: 72.0Gợi ý: 과거를 말할 때는 시제 일치가 중요합니다. ‘When I was young’ 이후에는 과거형(‘liked’)을 사용하세요. 또한 예시를 조금 더 구체적으로 하고 현재와의 비교를 연결어로 표현하면 좋습니다. (e.g., whereas, still)
Ví dụ: When I was young, I liked flour-based dishes such as pizza, bread, and noodles. I especially remember eating instant noodles after school, and even now I still enjoy those foods because they are comforting and easy to prepare.
Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?
Điểm: 78.0Gợi ý: 좋은 내용이지만 문장을 더 간결하고 정확하게 만드세요. ‘find’ 보다는 ‘eat’ 또는 ‘prefer’가 자연스럽고, 계절별 예시를 하나씩 들어 구체화하면 더 좋습니다. 연결어(For example, in summer/ in winter)를 활용하세요.
Ví dụ: Yes. In summer, because it is very hot here, I usually prefer cold dishes like salads or cold noodles. In winter, I tend to eat hot soups and stews, for example a spicy hot pot, to keep warm.
Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?
Điểm: 70.0Gợi ý: 응답은 직접적이지만 문법과 어순에 오류가 있습니다(‘I also my favorite food is’). 간결한 주제 문장 뒤에 이유를 한두 문장으로 덧붙이세요. 또한 ‘completely same’ 대신 ‘the same’ 혹은 ‘hasn’t changed’가 자연스럽습니다.
Ví dụ: Not really. When I was a child I loved noodle dishes, and that hasn’t changed — I still prefer noodles because they are comforting and easy to customize with different toppings.
× My favorite food is Korean ramen, which is kind of spicy food. I really enjoy it almost at least once a week.
✓ My favorite food is Korean ramen, which is kind of spicy. I really enjoy it at least once a week.
The phrase 'spicy food' is redundant after 'which is kind of spicy'; use 'spicy' as an adjective to modify ramen. 'Almost at least once a week' is incorrect because 'almost' and 'at least' conflict: 'at least once a week' means minimum once, while 'almost' weakens it. Choose 'at least once a week' to indicate frequency clearly. Suggestion: say 'I really enjoy it at least once a week.'
× When I was young I really like flour based dishes such as pizza, bread or noodles and I'm still enjoying the dishes.
✓ When I was young I really liked flour-based dishes such as pizza, bread, or noodles, and I still enjoy those dishes.
The main clause refers to a past time ('When I was young'), so the verb should be past tense: 'liked' not 'like'. 'Flour based' should be hyphenated as 'flour-based'. 'I'm still enjoying the dishes' is awkward; use simple present 'I still enjoy those dishes' to indicate a continuing preference. Also add a comma before 'or' in a list for clarity and replace 'the dishes' with 'those dishes.'
× Yeah, because in summer my country is really hot, so I usually find more cold dishes and also in winter I usually find more hot food.
✓ Yeah, because in summer my country is really hot, so I usually eat more cold dishes, and in winter I usually eat more hot dishes.
Use 'eat' rather than 'find' to describe consuming food. 'More cold dishes' and 'more hot food' are awkward; parallel phrasing 'more cold dishes' and 'more hot dishes' is clearer. Maintain consistent word choice ('dishes') and remove redundant 'also.'
× Not really, when I was a child I really liked noodle dishes and now I also my favorite food is noodle dishes so it's completely same.
✓ Not really. When I was a child I really liked noodle dishes, and now my favorite food is also noodle dishes, so it is exactly the same.
Sentence needs clearer structure and punctuation. 'Now I also my favorite food is noodle dishes' is ungrammatical; reorder to 'now my favorite food is also noodle dishes.' Use 'exactly the same' rather than 'completely same.' Split into two sentences or use commas to improve readability.
