What is your favourite food?
分數: 60.0建議: 在回答中要更加直接并补充具体细节,减少停顿和犹豫词(如 uh, um)。先给出明确主题句,然后用1–2句描述主要成分、口味和为什么喜欢。注意句子不要过长,最多5句。可练习连词如“and”,“which”,“because”。
範例: My favourite food is Xinjiang polo. It is a rice dish cooked with lamb, carrots and spices, which gives it a rich, savory flavor. I like it because the lamb is tender and the rice soaks up the fragrant broth.
What kind of food did you like when you were young?
分數: 55.0建議: 回答要使用正确时态(过去时)并减少重复。先用主题句直接回答偏好,然后用一到两句说明原因或举例。可以用连接词如 'because' 或 'so' 来衔接理由。避免填充词。
範例: When I was young, I liked lean lamb and beef. I preferred the meat without much fat because it tasted cleaner and was easier to eat.
Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?

範例: Yes, I do. In winter I eat richer, fattier foods like stews and fatty lamb because they are warming and satisfying. In summer I prefer lighter meals such as salads and grilled lean meat to feel refreshed.
Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?

範例: No, my favourite foods haven't changed. For example, I still enjoy dumplings and the Mongolian dish boortsog, as well as lamb, because these dishes remind me of family meals and tradition.
× Uh, when I'm young, I like lamb, I like beef, uh, but I, I don't prefer fatty ones.
✓ When I was young, I liked lamb and beef, but I didn't prefer fatty ones.
使用过去时描述过去的习惯或喜好。原句用了现在时(I’m young / I like / I don't prefer),但句子是在谈论“当我年轻时”,应使用过去时态。建议将“I'm young”改为“I was young”,“like”改为“liked”,“don't prefer”改为“didn't prefer”。
× As I have mentioned before, when I'm young I prefer lamb and beef, uh, without any fat.
✓ As I have mentioned before, when I was young I preferred lamb and beef without any fat.
同样是描述过去的情况,应使用过去时。原句中“when I'm young”和“prefer”使用现在时,应该改为“when I was young”和“preferred”。注意与前半句“have mentioned”搭配,主句仍然需要过去时来表示过去的偏好。
× But right now, as I'm turning 40, I prefer more fatty food.
✓ But right now, as I'm turning 40, I prefer fattier food.
“more fatty”在比较级表达上不自然,应使用比较级形容词“fattier”。另外句子谓语时态“prefer” 与“right now”搭配为现在时是正确的,所以只需修正形容词形式。
× Uh, actually it hasn't changed.
✓ Uh, actually my favourite hasn't changed.
原句的代词“it”含糊,无法明确指代“favorite food”。在回答“Has your favourite food changed?”时,应明确说“my favourite”以避免歧义。
× Uh, when I'm a child, I like dumplings, I like Mongolian, Mongolian traditional food called booze and I like lamb and I still am.
✓ When I was a child, I liked dumplings, Mongolian traditional food called booz (or buuz), and I liked lamb; I still am.
句子中谈论过去经历时应使用过去时(was, liked)。此外,原句“booze”可能是拼写或发音误差,应为“booz/ buuz”(蒙古馅饼)。“I still am”结构不完整,建议保留“I still am fond of them”或“I still like them”。下面给出更自然的替换句:"When I was a child, I liked dumplings, Mongolian traditional food called buuz, and lamb; I still like them."。
