Food— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and natural by starting with a clear topic sentence, then add one specific detail about why you like it. Use a linking phrase if giving a reason. Avoid repeating simple items without explanation.

Example: My favourite food is fish, especially grilled sea bass. I enjoy it with rice and steamed vegetables because it’s light and full of flavor from the garlic, so it feels healthy and satisfying.

Suggestion: Organize your answer: begin with a clear topic sentence, then give a reason and a comparison to now. Use linking words (because, so, but) and correct tense/grammar (I was a teenager / I used to). Avoid redundancy and finish with a complete sentence.

Example: When I was a teenager I used to love pizza because my friends and I often ate it when we hung out. It tasted great and was convenient, but it wasn’t healthy, so these days I try to avoid it and choose healthier options.

Suggestion: Make your answer clearer and more specific: start with a direct statement, then give one or two concrete examples with linking words. Correct grammar and use specific seasonal dishes or foods. Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Example: Yes, I do. In my culture we prepare special dishes for festivals, for example a sweet rice cake during winter festivals and chilled fruit desserts in summer. These seasonal foods match the weather and traditions, so people eat different things at different times of the year.

Suggestion: Be concise and avoid repetition. Begin with a clear statement about change, then explain reasons and give one example of what you eat now. Use correct phrasing: “I used to” and “now I” or “these days I”.

Example: Yes, it has. I used to eat a lot of fast food, especially pizza, when I was younger. Now I follow a healthier diet and prefer home-cooked meals with more vegetables, so I try to avoid fast food.

× When I was teenager I really liked pizza and because my friends and I hang out together out and about and went to restaurant and ate a pizza.

✓ When I was a teenager I really liked pizza because my friends and I hung out together and went to a restaurant and ate pizza.

Missing indefinite article 'a' before 'teenager' and 'a' before 'restaurant' are article errors (ID 22). Also sentence had extra phrase 'out and about' and awkward conjunction use; 'because' should connect reason and the verb tense must be past. Change 'hang out' to past 'hung out' to match past context. Remove 'a' before 'pizza' when speaking generally about pizza. Suggestion: include appropriate articles ('a teenager', 'a restaurant') and keep consistent past tense verbs.

× When I was teenager I really liked pizza and because my friends and I hang out together out and about and went to restaurant and ate a pizza.

✓ When I was a teenager I really liked pizza because my friends and I hung out together and went to a restaurant and ate pizza.

The clause used present 'hang out' in a past context; this is a past tense error (ID 5). Change 'hang out' to 'hung out' to match the past timeframe. Ensure all verbs describing past events use past tense for consistency.

× I like the taste but it is not healthy.

✓ I liked the taste, but it was not healthy.

This sentence refers to a past preference, so verbs should be past tense. Article use is fine, but tense must match context (ID 22 used earlier). Change 'like' to 'liked' and 'is' to 'was' to reflect past time.

× Nowadays I try to cut.

✓ Nowadays I try to cut down on it.

'Try to cut' is incomplete and unclear; missing object and preposition. This is a sentence structure issue (ID 26). Add 'down on it' to indicate reducing consumption. Alternatively specify what you cut (e.g., 'cut down on fast food').

× In our culture we have some special occasions that people cook something specific to that occasion also in different part of the year.

✓ In our culture we have some special occasions when people cook dishes specific to that occasion at different times of the year.

Incorrect prepositions and phrasing: use 'when' not 'that' for occasions indicating time, 'to that occasion' should be 'specific to that occasion', and 'in different part of the year' should be 'at different times of the year' (ID 11). Also use plural 'dishes' for naturalness.

× For example in the summer or in the winter, we could something related to that season for summer cook something icy.

✓ For example, in summer or winter we might cook foods related to the season; in summer we often make something cold or icy.

This sentence has multiple structure problems and missing verbs (ID 26). 'Could something' lacks a verb, and repetition is unclear. Replace with 'might cook foods related to the season' and clarify the summer example: 'make something cold or icy.' Use consistent modal 'might' for possibility.

× It is the fish that I like the most, especially with rice and some vegetables and garlic.

✓ Fish is what I like the most, especially with rice, some vegetables, and garlic.

Original is understandable but slightly awkward. No strict third person singular error, but rephrasing improves naturalness. Keep verb 'is' correct for singular subject 'fish'. This addresses style rather than a strict grammar rule (ID 2).

× Yes it has. Growing up I used to eat fast food, especially pizza.

✓ Yes, it has. Growing up, I used to eat fast food, especially pizza.

Main issue is punctuation and clarity rather than tense. 'Yes it has' refers to 'Has your favourite food changed?' and is acceptable. 'Used to' correctly indicates past habit. Add commas for clarity. This aligns with present perfect response and past habitual action (ID 6).

× However, these days as I am as I have a diet and follow my diet, I try to eat healthy food and avoid to eat lots of fast food.

✓ However, these days, since I have a diet and follow it, I try to eat healthy food and avoid eating a lot of fast food.

'Avoid to eat' is incorrect; after 'avoid' use gerund form 'eating' (ID 8). Also 'a lot of' is more natural than 'lots of' in this register. Remove duplicated phrase 'as I am as I have'. Use pronoun 'it' to refer to 'my diet'.
