Food— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be concise and grammatical: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details. Use correct grammar (e.g., "contains" → "contains a lot of spices") and avoid filler words like "yeah". Use linking words such as "because" or "for example" to connect ideas.

Example: My favourite food is Chinese spicy dishes because I love bold flavours. For example, I often eat mala hotpot and spicy pork, which I enjoy because the numbing chilli and aromatic spices make the food exciting.

Suggestion: Answer directly with a clear topic sentence about childhood preferences, then give a specific detail or reason. Correct tense and vocabulary (e.g., "when I was young", "I could eat anything", "I didn't like milk"). Avoid irrelevant or unclear claims like "so I grow up short."

Example: When I was young, I could eat almost anything, so I didn’t have a favourite. However, I disliked milk and rarely drank it, which made me avoid dairy as a child.

Suggestion: Give a direct answer and then briefly explain with a specific reason and an example. Avoid exaggeration and repetitive phrasing. Use linking words (e.g., "because", "so") and correct grammar: "I eat the same food all year because..."

Example: No, I usually eat the same types of food year-round because I love spicy Chinese dishes. For example, I often have spicy hotpot even in summer because I prefer those flavours.

Suggestion: Answer clearly and tell a short story with logical sequence using past and present tenses correctly. Use linking words such as "however", "because", "so" to show cause and effect. Correct phrasing: "my siblings studied in China and took me to Chinese restaurants".

Example: Yes, it changed. When I was younger I disliked Chinese food because I didn’t like the smell. However, my brother and sister studied in China and took me to Chinese restaurants often, so over time I learned to enjoy the flavours and now I love them.

× I like hot and spicy food, so my favorite one is Chinese food because Chinese food is contains of a lot of spicy and yeah, I really love that when I eat something like mala, hot pork or anything else in shiny it's way.

✓ I like hot and spicy food, so my favorite is Chinese food because Chinese food contains a lot of spicy dishes, and I really enjoy eating things like mala, hot pork, or anything similarly spicy.

Errors: 'is contains of' is incorrect: use 'contains' (verb agrees with singular subject 'Chinese food') and do not use 'is' before it (Grammar Problem Type 27 subject-verb agreement and Type 26 sentence structure). 'a lot of spicy' needs a noun: use 'a lot of spicy dishes'. 'yeah' is informal filler and unnecessary. 'when I eat something like mala' is better as 'eating things like mala'. 'in shiny it's way' is ungrammatical and unclear; replaced with 'similarly spicy'. Suggestion: remove extra auxiliary verbs, ensure verb agrees with subject, provide correct noun after quantifiers, and use clear parallel structure for list items.

× I don't have the specifically of words that I like when I was young.

✓ I don't remember the specific words I liked when I was young.

Errors: 'don't have the specifically of words' is ungrammatical and mixes present and past inappropriately (Grammar Problem Type 26 sentence structure and Type 5 past tense). Use 'don't remember' for present inability to recall and 'liked' for past preference. Suggestion: use 'remember' to express current recollection and correct past tense for 'like' to 'liked'.

× I can say that I can eat anything when I were young yet, but if you are one thing, I think I don't like milk when I was young so I grow up short.

✓ I can say that I could eat anything when I was young, but there was one thing: I didn't like milk when I was young, so I grew up short.

Errors: 'when I were young' should be 'when I was young' (Grammar Problem Type 27 subject-verb agreement and Type 5 past tense). 'I can eat' conflicts with past time; use 'could'. 'if you are one thing' is incorrect and unclear; replaced with 'there was one thing'. 'I think I don't like milk when I was young' mixes present and past; use past 'I didn't like milk when I was young'. 'so I grow up short' should be past 'I grew up short'. Suggestion: keep past tense consistent when talking about childhood and use correct subject-verb forms.

× No, because I have my favorite food with this Chinese food, so I can eat them a whole year without hesitating because I enjoy eating them.

✓ No, because my favorite food is Chinese food, so I could eat it all year without hesitation because I enjoy it.

Errors: 'I have my favorite food with this Chinese food' is awkward; use 'my favorite food is Chinese food' (Grammar Problem Type 26 sentence structure). 'eat them' uses plural pronoun for an uncountable/collective noun 'Chinese food' — use 'it' (Grammar Problem Type 12 incorrect use of pronouns/Type 1 singular/plural). 'a whole year' -> 'all year'; 'without hesitating' -> 'without hesitation'. Suggestion: use correct pronouns matching the noun (it for food type) and idiomatic expressions.

× Without them, I can say that I cannot live my life anymore.

✓ Without it, I would say that I could not live my life anymore.

Errors: 'Without them' uses plural pronoun for collective food (Grammar Problem Type 12). 'I can say that I cannot live my life anymore' mixes modal and time; more natural conditional is 'I would say that I could not live my life anymore' (Grammar Problem Type 6 modal verb usage and Type 7 conditional/future). Suggestion: use conditional modals to express hypothetical situations and match pronouns to antecedents.

× Yes, when I was the shy, I don't really like Chinese food, but it was my brother and my sister who who were being studied at China.

✓ Yes, when I was shy, I didn't really like Chinese food, but my brother and sister were studying in China.

Errors: 'when I was the shy' should be 'when I was shy' (Grammar Problem Type 22 article errors/Type 26). 'I don't really like' should be past 'I didn't really like' to match past time (Type 5). 'who who were being studied at China' is wrong: 'were studying in China' is correct (Grammar Problem Type 26 sentence structure and Type 11 preposition use: use 'in China'). Suggestion: remove unnecessary articles, use past tense consistently, and use correct verb forms for 'study' in progressive past.

× So they take they bring me to Chinese restaurant every time and and at the time I really hate the smell, but now I love them.

✓ So they took me to Chinese restaurants every time, and at the time I really hated the smell, but now I love it.

Errors: 'they take they bring me' repeats subject and mixes tenses; use past 'they took me' (Grammar Problem Type 26 sentence structure and Type 5 past tense). 'Chinese restaurant every time' -> plural 'Chinese restaurants' or 'the Chinese restaurant' depending on meaning; plural fits repeated events. 'I really hate the smell' should be past 'I really hated the smell'. 'but now I love them' uses plural pronoun for 'the smell/food'; use 'it' for singular 'the smell' or 'them' for plural 'dishes'—context suggests 'it' for smell. Suggestion: use consistent past tense for past events, avoid repeating subjects, and match pronouns to their antecedents.
