Examiner
When do you usually eat snacks now?
Candidate
I usually eat night in the afternoon because that's when I come back from school and feel very hungry. However, I'm trying not to eat too much so that I can still enjoy my dinner later. For example, I often have some fruit or a small sandwich to give me going until the evening.
Examiner
Do you think it is healthy for you to eat snacks?
Candidate
I think it depends on what kind of snack I eat. For example, eating fruits is very healthy because they are refreshing and full of vitamins that are good for my body. However, snacks like chips or sweet are not healthy because they contain a lot of sugar and fat, which can be harmful if eating too often.

× I usually eat night in the afternoon because that's when I come back from school and feel very hungry.
✓ I usually eat at night in the afternoon because that's when I come back from school and feel very hungry.
The phrase 'eat night in the afternoon' is incorrect because 'night' is a time of day and requires the preposition 'at' to indicate when the action happens. The correct phrase is 'eat at night' or 'eat in the afternoon'. However, since the sentence says 'in the afternoon', 'at night' is contradictory. The student likely meant 'I usually eat in the afternoon'. So the correction is to remove 'night' or replace it with 'at night' if referring to night time. Here, 'in the afternoon' is correct, so 'eat at night in the afternoon' is contradictory. The best correction is 'I usually eat in the afternoon'.
× For example, I often have some fruit or a small sandwich to give me going until the evening.
✓ For example, I often have some fruit or a small sandwich to keep me going until the evening.
The phrase 'to give me going' is incorrect. The correct expression is 'to keep me going', which means to sustain energy or hunger until a later time. 'Give me going' is not a standard English expression.
× However, snacks like chips or sweet are not healthy because they contain a lot of sugar and fat, which can be harmful if eating too often.
✓ However, snacks like chips or sweets are not healthy because they contain a lot of sugar and fat, which can be harmful if eaten too often.
The word 'sweet' should be plural 'sweets' to match the plural noun 'chips'. Also, 'if eating too often' is incorrect; it should be 'if eaten too often' to use the past participle after 'if' in this conditional sentence.
× For example, I would frequently have biscuits or fruit between meals because they are were convenient and tasty.
✓ For example, I would frequently have biscuits or fruit between meals because they were convenient and tasty.
The phrase 'they are were' is incorrect because it mixes present and past tense. Since the sentence refers to past habits, 'were' is correct. Also, 'fruit' can be singular or plural, but 'biscuits' is plural, so 'they' is appropriate.
× I often eat apples and orange, which are refreshing and easy to carry around.
✓ I often eat apples and oranges, which are refreshing and easy to carry around.
The word 'orange' should be plural 'oranges' to match 'apples' and the plural verb 'are'. When listing multiple items, both should be plural if referring to more than one.
× Besides being healthy, fruit also satisfy my sweet cravings in a natural way.
✓ Besides being healthy, fruit also satisfies my sweet cravings in a natural way.
The noun 'fruit' is singular or uncountable here, so the verb should be singular 'satisfies' to agree with the subject. 'Satisfy' is plural form and does not agree with singular subject 'fruit'.
