What is your favourite food?

Band 6 model

My favourite food is pizza. I like simple Margherita with cheese and tomato. I usually have it when I go out or order it at home. It's comforting and easy to eat.

Speaking criteria note: The Band 7 answer uses more varied vocabulary and idiomatic phrases, gives reasons and contexts, and links ideas smoothly.
