Snacks— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more direct and use correct verb forms; keep answers concise (max 5 sentences). Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific details using linking words. For example, say when you snack, why, and what you choose. Avoid filler words like “uh” and unclear phrases such as “do snacks” or “it snacks.”

Example: I usually have a snack in the evening after a hectic day because I feel tired and need a little boost. For instance, I often eat a piece of fruit or a yoghurt to feel refreshed. This helps me relax before I start my evening routine.

Suggestion: Use a clear topic sentence and follow with specific reasons and examples. Improve grammar (subject-verb agreement, word order) and use linking words such as “because” and “for example.” Mention concrete benefits to make the answer more convincing.

Example: Yes, I think snacking can be healthy because I usually choose light options. For example, I often have fruit or yoghurt, which provide vitamins and protein, so they help maintain my energy and nutrition between meals.

Suggestion: Answer with a clear past-tense sentence and give a brief reason or example. Use linking words like “especially” and “so” correctly, and correct tense errors (use past simple for past habits). Keep it concise and avoid repetition.

Example: Yes, I often ate snacks when I was young, especially sweet ones like chocolate. I had a sweet tooth, so I tended to eat too much chocolate until my parents limited it.

Suggestion: Start with a clear topic sentence comparing past and present preferences. Use correct tenses and natural linking words such as “but now” and “because.” Give a specific example of a favourite healthy snack and explain briefly why you prefer it.

Example: When I was younger I preferred sweet snacks like chocolate, but now I prefer healthier options. For example, I often eat apples or mixed berries because they contain vitamins and fibre, which are better for my health.

× I usually do snacks after hectic day, especially when I feel very tired.

✓ I usually have snacks after a hectic day, especially when I feel very tired.

The verb phrase 'do snacks' is incorrect; English uses 'have' or 'eat' with 'snacks'. Also 'hectic day' needs the article 'a'. Use present simple 'have' to describe a habitual action. Suggestion: say 'I usually have snacks after a hectic day.'

× I will eat something to make me feel refreshed and it snacks.

✓ I eat something to make myself feel refreshed, like a snack.

The sentence uses inappropriate future 'will' and ungrammatical phrase 'make me feel refreshed and it snacks'. Use present simple for habitual behaviour and correct reflexive pronoun 'myself'. Replace 'it snacks' with 'like a snack' to clarify meaning.

× Uh, it's a good way for me to find something to express myself.

✓ It's a good way for me to express myself.

The phrase 'find something to express myself' is awkward and wordy. Simplify to 'express myself'. The structure 'it's a good way for me to + verb' is correct; remove unnecessary words.

× Yes, I think it's healthy for me to eat snacks because I usually eat some snacks very light like a fruit or yogurt that is maintain many nutrition is good for my health.

✓ Yes, I think it's healthy for me to eat snacks because I usually choose light snacks like fruit or yogurt that are nutritious and good for my health.

Problems: 'eat some snacks very light' is ungrammatical; use 'choose light snacks'. 'That is maintain many nutrition' is incorrect; use 'that are nutritious' or 'that contain lots of nutrients'. Also adjust number agreement: 'fruit or yogurt that are' refers to plural 'snacks'. Keep present simple. Suggestion: 'I usually choose light snacks like fruit or yogurt that are nutritious.'

× Yes, when I was young I often eat snacks, especially the sweet snacks such as chocolate.

✓ Yes, when I was young I often ate snacks, especially sweet ones such as chocolate.

The sentence background is past ('when I was young'), so the verb must be past tense: 'ate' not 'eat'. Also 'the sweet snacks' is awkward; use 'sweet ones' or 'sweet snacks'.

× I have sweet tooth so at that time I eat too much chocolate too.

✓ I had a sweet tooth, so at that time I ate too much chocolate.

Use the idiom 'have a sweet tooth' with article 'a'. Because the context is past, use past tense 'had' and 'ate'. Remove redundant 'too' at end. Suggestion: 'I had a sweet tooth, so I ate too much chocolate.'

× While young I like to eat something sweet like chocolate, but now I prefer to eat some healthy snacks such as fruit because it's contain many nutritious and vitamins that's good for my health.

✓ When I was young I liked to eat sweet things like chocolate, but now I prefer healthy snacks such as fruit because they contain many nutrients and vitamins that are good for my health.

Multiple issues: time clause requires past 'When I was young' and past verb 'liked'. 'Something sweet' better as 'sweet things'. Pronoun agreement: 'it's contain' is wrong; use plural 'they contain' to match 'fruit' and 'snacks'. 'many nutritious and vitamins' is incorrect collocation; use 'many nutrients and vitamins' or 'nutritious nutrients' is wrong. Also 'that's good' should be 'that are good'. Suggestions: use consistent tense, correct pronouns and collocations.
