Part 1
考官
What is your favourite food?
考生
My favorite food is cheesecake. I love it because of the tasty topping and the way it melts inside of my mouth. I like that feeling, so I like it sugary as well. So that's why I love cheesecake.
考官
What kind of food did you like when you were young?
考生
When I was younger, I had a tendency for snacks like sharps and sweets. My friends at the time, uh, were encouraging to that, so I wasn't into that much of a healthy food. I prefer the snacks most of the time.
考官
Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?
考生
Yes, I eat different food at different times of the year. It depends on the seasons and the holidays. For example, in Christmas holidays we tend to eat more of roasted meat and chicken and Turkey and special desserts as well. But through the through the year we don't have that special.
考官
Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?
考生
Yes, through every Phase I I had different things and that applies to food as well. When I was a child, I had a favorite food that is different from when I was when I am older now. So now I preferred as I have said in the in the beginning, I prefer cheesecake more often. It's still sweet but different from when I was a child.
What is your favourite food?
分數: 70.0建議: Make the response more concise and structured: start with a clear topic sentence, give one or two specific reasons with a linking word, and avoid repetition. Use slightly more precise vocabulary (e.g., “creamy texture” instead of “melts inside of my mouth”) and limit to 2–4 sentences.
範例: My favourite food is cheesecake because of its rich, creamy texture and the sweet, tangy flavor of the topping. For instance, I enjoy chocolate-drizzled cheesecake as a special treat on weekends because it feels indulgent without being overly heavy.
What kind of food did you like when you were young?
分數: 60.0建議: Clarify vocabulary and use clearer sentence structure. Replace unclear word “sharps” with the correct term (e.g., “crisps” or “chips”), avoid filler words, and add a linking phrase to explain the influence. Keep to 2–3 sentences and include a specific example of a snack.
範例: When I was young I preferred snacks such as crisps and candy because my friends often chose those foods. As a result, I rarely ate vegetables and usually had chips and sweets after school.
Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?
分數: 75.0建議: Make the answer smoother and avoid repetition. Provide one clear example with linking words (e.g., “for example” or “for instance”) and correct small grammar points (capitalize holidays as needed and avoid repeating words). Be specific about a seasonal food or tradition.
範例: Yes, I do. For example, at Christmas we usually have roasted turkey and special desserts like fruitcake, whereas during the rest of the year we tend to eat simpler meals such as grilled vegetables and pasta.
Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?

範例: Yes, my favourite food has changed. As a child I preferred sweets like lollipops and candy, but now I prefer cheesecake because I enjoy its creaminess and more refined flavors.
× I love it because of the tasty topping and the way it melts inside of my mouth.
✓ I love it because of the tasty topping and the way it melts in my mouth.
Use 'in my mouth' rather than 'inside of my mouth'. 'Inside of' is informal and redundant here; 'in' is concise and standard.
× I like that feeling, so I like it sugary as well.
✓ I like that feeling, so I like it sugary as well.
This sentence is acceptable but 'sugary' modifies the noun; to be clearer use 'I like it to be sugary' or 'I like it sweet'. Suggested correction: 'I like it to be sugary.' The current form is informal but understandable.
× When I was younger, I had a tendency for snacks like sharps and sweets.
✓ When I was younger, I had a tendency for snacks like chips and sweets.
The word 'sharps' is incorrect here; likely intended 'chips' (plural). Ensure correct plural noun 'chips' for snack items.
× My friends at the time, uh, were encouraging to that, so I wasn't into that much of a healthy food.
✓ My friends at the time encouraged that, so I wasn't into healthy food much.
'Were encouraging to that' is incorrect. Use active verb 'encouraged that'. 'That much of a healthy food' is awkward; 'healthy food much' or 'healthy food' with placement after 'into' is clearer.
× I prefer the snacks most of the time.
✓ I preferred snacks most of the time.
Tense consistency: question asked past 'did you like when you were young' so use past 'preferred'. Also omit definite article 'the' before 'snacks' when speaking generally.
× Yes, I eat different food at different times of the year.
✓ Yes, I eat different foods at different times of the year.
Plural 'foods' is appropriate when referring to different kinds of food; 'different food' is unnatural in this context.
× For example, in Christmas holidays we tend to eat more of roasted meat and chicken and Turkey and special desserts as well.
✓ For example, during the Christmas holidays we tend to eat more roasted meat, chicken, turkey, and special desserts.
Use 'during the Christmas holidays' not 'in Christmas holidays'. Remove 'of' after 'eat more'. Capitalization: 'turkey' need not be capitalized unless referring to the country. Use commas for list clarity.
× But through the through the year we don't have that special.
✓ But throughout the year we don't have anything that special.
'Through the through the year' is repetitive and incorrect; use 'throughout the year'. 'We don't have that special' is unclear; 'anything that special' is idiomatic.
× Yes, through every Phase I I had different things and that applies to food as well.
✓ Yes, through every phase I had different tastes, and that applies to food as well.
'Phase I' is unclear and awkward; likely 'phase' (lowercase) and 'different things' is vague—use 'different tastes'. Keep past tense 'had' to match 'through' reference.
× When I was a child, I had a favorite food that is different from when I was when I am older now.
✓ When I was a child, I had a favorite food that is different from the one I have now that I am older.
Original mixes tenses and uses pronouns awkwardly. Use 'the one I have now' to refer back to the current favorite; maintain correct tense sequence.
× So now I preferred as I have said in the in the beginning, I prefer cheesecake more often.
✓ So now, as I said at the beginning, I prefer cheesecake more often.
Tense and wording: 'preferred' (past) conflicts with present 'I prefer'. Use 'as I said at the beginning' (simple past) and 'I prefer' (present) for current preference. Remove extra 'the' and reorder for clarity.
× It's still sweet but different from when I was a child.
✓ It's still sweet but different from what it was when I was a child.
Add 'what it was' to clarify comparison between the cheesecake now and in childhood; preserves meaning and improves grammatical completeness.
