× My favorite food is fish and rice because fish and rice is our traditional food.
✓ My favorite food is fish and rice because fish and rice are our traditional foods.
Subject 'fish and rice' is plural, so use plural verb 'are' and plural noun 'foods' to refer to types of food; also using 'foods' emphasizes distinct items. Use articles only if specific items are meant.
× That's why I like fish and rice.
✓ That's why I like fish and rice.
Sentence is correct; no change needed. Included to show agreement is fine: 'like' matches singular subject 'I'.
× While when I was young, my favorite food item was vegetable item because vegetable item is good for our health.
✓ When I was young, my favorite food was vegetables because vegetables are good for our health.
Redundant 'while' with 'when' is incorrect. Use past tense 'was' for preference in the past. Use plural 'vegetables' and plural verb 'are' because vegetables is plural. Remove 'item' which is unnatural here.
× That's why my parents suggest me.
✓ That's why my parents advised me.
Use past tense 'advised' to match 'when I was young'. 'Suggest me' is incorrect; English uses 'advise someone' or 'suggest that someone do something'. For suggestion in past, 'advised me' or 'suggested that I eat' are correct.
× That's why I ate that.
✓ That's why I ate them.
Pronoun 'that' is singular and vague; use 'them' to refer to plural 'vegetables'. Keep past tense 'ate' to match earlier clause.
× Yes, I eat different food at different time because every year changes food item and food come and then I try this type of food.
✓ Yes, I eat different foods at different times because the available foods change every season, and I try new types of food.
Use plural 'foods' and 'times' for general habits. 'Every year changes food item' is ungrammatical; clarify with 'the available foods change every season' or 'each season'. Use present simple 'change' for habitual actions. 'Try new types of food' is clearer than 'try this type of food'.
× Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?
✓ Has your favorite food changed since you were a child?
Sentence is correct as asked by examiner; only American spelling changed. No grammatical correction needed.
× Yes my favorite food has since childhood when I was child.
✓ Yes, my favorite food has changed since my childhood.
Original missing verb 'changed'. Use present perfect 'has changed' with 'since my childhood' to indicate change from past to now. Add 'my' before 'childhood' and remove redundant 'when I was child'.
× I love I love fast food and then my friend suggest me a my friends challenge to me some vegetable item like potatoes like tomato this type of.
✓ I used to love fast food, but then my friends challenged me to try some vegetables like potatoes and tomatoes.
Fix repetition 'I love I love' and tense: 'used to love' shows past habit that changed. 'My friend suggest me' is wrong; use 'my friends challenged me'. 'Challenge someone to do something' construction is correct. Use plural 'vegetables' and proper nouns 'potatoes and tomatoes'.
